Boateng to Fiorentina doesn’t make any sense to me.

Seems like they’re just desperate to get a signing over the line at this point

The supposed Dybala - Lukaku swap deal seems like the weirdest deal in the mercato for a quite long time. It seems like Paratici's Juve are playing with Marotta's Inter once again. Juventus are pretty sure that once they prevent Inter from signing Lukaku, their 38th (or 36th for the mathematicians :lol:) scudetto has been secured.

Dybala finally got a manager in Sarri where he fits the formation, has a place in the starting XI. While Lukaku? Nope, unless he wants to do the dirty work that Mandzukic did, which I don't see happening. And what about Ronaldo? Does he want someone to interfere with his goals?

Does anyone believe the swap deal will happen? Dybala seems very resistant on joining Manchester United.

Why do you say that? His last 6 months in Serie A were quite good, playing the false 9 role pretty well.

Because De Zerbi's various formations suited him and utilized him well as a false 9, while Montella's 433 formation won't.

It looks like he'll play striker at Fiorentina, and that's not the type they need to replace Muriel.

But i guess Sassuolo wanted to send him to Fiorentina as a '2-in-1' package for Lirola, to get rid of his wages :monto:

Let’s not underestimate Montella. He’s tactically quite well versed, we’ll have to see how we used Boateng. And Boateng is a very versatile player, he can contribute in many offensive roles.

I’m sure if Radja was here we would give him time off to be with his wife in these times.

I read in the Belgian interview that he wasn’t even allowed to go on the consultations with her.

Fuck Merda

Selling Kean for €30m with 1 year left on his contract is a masterstroke from Juventus.

Reports are growing that Milan Badelj is on the verge of a return to #Fiorentina , just a year after he left for #Lazio , for a total €7-8m

I'll never understand Fiorentina as a club.

Mastour is talented too, although nobody comes close to Andre Silva

Lukaku is a good signing for Inter, he's guarantees 20+ goals.

However, for Inter's part, they should be worried about creativity. I see most of Lukaku's goals coming from assists from the wingbacks.

Lukaku to Inter official. Conte finally got his man.

Look forward to seeing Kessie outscore him this season.
