“The mercato? It’s used to fix things, but we’re in line with our plan so we won’t pursue any big deals,” the sporting director told Rai Sport before the match.
“If we’re focusing on our [current crop of] lads, it means that we’re working well. Muriel? He’s a great talent. He’s shining in his own light.”
