MARKET - "Everyone has had and still has different difficulties. It is impossible not to have difficulties because there are so many problems in managing a transfer and transfer campaign. Because there are those who want to leave that maybe we want to keep, and then there are those who want to leave and those who we want to give away, but want to stay. So there are always difficulties. This year the difficulties are linked more than anything to the requests of important teams for our players. Our biggest difficulty is going to replace them because they cost more than what we would take if we had to sell. So, we are immobile, we are stopped. It seems like there is no work, but we are working and trying to have the right ideas. However, no shock offers have arrived".

LUCUMÌ - "We have to evaluate everything the market has to offer. Until July 10th there is a clause for Lucumì (worth 28 million euros, ed.). From that moment on we will have a clearer idea about him too. At the moment I don't feel like saying we will stay like this, because if the right offer arrives... But it has to arrive, like last year it arrived for Calafiori, while for Zirkzee there was a clause. In my opinion, it is right for Bologna to sell. We must then be good at replacing".

TIMES - "Everyone's desire is to give the coach a team that is already ready. But in football it's a utopia. Consider that the strongest team, the one from two years ago, Thiago's second year, was built with the best pieces bought between August 25th and September 1st... Sometimes it's better to wait. If you can give the pieces to the coach first, then, even better. Two years ago we were after Kristiansen and Ndoye for a month and a half and then we got them in mid-August. We asked for Saelemaekers in June and they said no. Instead, on August 25th Milan called us to offer him to us".

ITALIANO - "We talk but not as often as you think. When there is something urgent he calls me and vice versa. I don't think he has spoken to our most talked about players. Instead, we share those with whom we will deal incoming rather than outgoing."
