The club’s main target for this month is to try to bring Spanish winger Gerard Deulofeu in on-loan from Everton before securing his services full-time in the summer.
Indeed, next summer could see new owners Sino-Europe Sports flexing their muscle and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, their primary target will be Fiorentina play-maker Federico Bernardeschi.
