Summer Mercato 2022
Barca a ripping Real a part- do they even have a striker?

Dembele has 2 assists on the right and looks very good.
He is still free right ?  Grinundwech
Andrea Belotti has made it clear that he’s open to signing a new contract with Torino, providing the club match his ambitions.

The 28-year-old Italian forward’s contract expires with the Granata at the end of this season and it’s seemed likely for a while that he’d be departing in the summer, ready to start a new adventure elsewhere. However Belotti is now open to renewing his contract with Torino.

Looks like nobody wants him so signalling he could stay. ..
Coutinho linked with us

Nothing official yet.

We could sign Origi and Belotti/Scamacca too.

Origi isn't just a CF, so him coming in doesn't necessarily rule out another CF.

I guess thing's depend on Ibra and what he does.

But if a player plays above 90%, he will likely get injured or lost form. If that doesn't happen this season then it will carry to the next season.

Van Dirk is an example. We were blessed with Kjaer & Romagnoli super fresh after Covid break, but in the next season they were injured quite often.

We should have focused on him rather than on Origi
Forza Diavolo ale!!!
If we win scudetto I think it's highly likely we could see a good summer mercato to keep momentum going.

GdS

I would ask 80 and they got a deal. He is playing much better this year but I still don't feel he will be anything more.

(Also I don't think Botman will be happy to be backup but that's something else I guess)

Do we have to define who's backup and who's not? Things can and will change during a season. The Kjær/Romagnoli/Kalulu situation is just one of many good examples.

I think squad depth (at a higher level than we have now) and rotation is needed. Just look at the squads of some of the teams we will compete with in CL.

It's just not good enough to have to use a Ballo Toure, a Krunic, a Bakayoko and so on just because your "starter" is absent because of injury or disciplinary reasons.
