No thanks to Pellegrini. 35mil (apparently his release clause) is way too much. I see an average CM player in him who is not spectacular in anything. He may raise the level of our midfield slightly, but that's because 90% of our midfield is dog shit and not because Pellegrini is superb. Overrated imo. If he wasn't Italian and young, nobody would care too much about him.
Personally, I think Sensi is a better player (different and different roles I know). 25mil for him is a lot I agree, but if you take Locatelli's money (do they have an obligation or option on him?), you can end up having Sensi for around 10mil. Of course, you can take Locatelli's cash and reinvest it somewhere else. I'm not objecting to that, but my point is at least there are options whereas in Pellegrini's case it seems to be 35mil cash or nothing and that's just not worth it.
Other rumors going around are those of Insigne to Milan. Not siure if this is realistic as every time Insigne gets whistled by the Napoli crowd rumors come out. On top of that I'm sure ADL will want a fortune for him but apparently we are willing to offer Suso + 40mil. Not sure why anyone would want Suso, but hey, if this is a possibility then don't even think twice about it. Just do it.
Also, more rumors that we are getting closer and closer to Everton. Just imagine.....
1) Everton - 40mil
2) Insigne - 40mil + Suso
3) Malcom - 5-10mil loan +option/obligation OR D.Costa 10-15mil + A. Silva
That gives us Insigne, Everton, Malcom/Costa and Samu for the wings. Now that's some serious capability and firepower on the wings
