I have very good reasons why I am not posting this in the Bremer thread. Urbana Cairo, the nutty Torino Presidente (Italiano) been in talks extensively with Paratici for weeks. He offered us a few possibilities, one being Singo (injured plus OTT valuation). We are very keen on Bremer. It is Inter who were tying them all in with glitter promises, and no substance.
As things stand now, we have a verbal agreement on what Cairo wants. Which is too rich for either Milan clubs, and possibly only Juve could match. But there is hesitation , as they want to speak and negotiate down with variables, which is also the same as Inter.
Inter have been throwing all sorts of players at us. Even suggesting Bastoni is not dead. What we have been doing for the past few weeks is spending a lot of time with Bremer and company. It is now down solely to him, as the package we have offered neither clubs in Italy can. Conte has been very instrumental in all this. I am hopeful as things stand. But ignore the made up media bullocks about ‘auctions’.
For those moaning about Clement Lenglet, and Conté would not be happy. You are waaay off the mark. Reference my comments in this post.
Tielemans, we told him to hold out until we finished certain priorities. Now I know those from SE London will be creative with their excuses. Had we wanted Gabriel Jesus, he would of come here. The competition for Richarlison was fierce between themselves, but not for us. Surprises galore in volume of quality signings.
