This week, it has been reported that Juventus and Como are heavily interested in a move for the attacking midfielder who left Milan last summer. To make things worse, they are going to be picking up a gem for a maximum of €6 million, thanks to his release clause.
Whilst the Rossoneri will receive €3m of that – thanks to their release clause – they would rather see him star for them than for a rival. Let alone a team in the Champions League, where they feel they should be.
However, that is the way this cookie has crumbled and it may get worse yet.
Azzurri waiting for Liberali
According to Calciomercato.com, Roberto Mancini has watched the starlet for Catanzaro this season and was left thoroughly impressed by his ‘classy moves’. In fact, he was left so impressed that a senior call-up could arrive.
The midfielder would skip the Under-21s after Mancini’s request, if he is appointed, of course, and play a part in his Azzurri side.
He has done it previously with Nicolò Zaniolo and with Simone Pafundi, so he would not be the first. However, it is telling that a potential future star could be sold for €6m to a rival and represent the Azzurri, whilst the Diavolo watch on.
A shambolic situation.
