I think it's reasonable to expect Donna to leave at this point. Donna going to PSG just seems like the perfect storm to me. PSG has a need at GK; PSG likes big names; they have a good relationship with Raiola; and they are, at least in theory, a major CL contender who doesn't mind paying big salary to players. If I was honest, I wouldn't mind PSG giving us 40M plus Areola to get the deal done. Areola is young, has potential and has already had a lot of exposure to top flight football. Him competing against Reina for the GK position is a pretty good situation all things considered.
What Fassone said about the market is good from a strategic point of view. But the execution is what makes or breaks the strategy. I agree that we should only add 2-3 players to the existing core to add quality, but who we add is what ultimately matters. We need a striker, but do we need another Kalinic, for example. I guess time will tell what will happen this time around.
