‘Berardi was scouted while playing a five-a-side-football match’
The duo are reported to be chased by both Juventus and Barcelona.
“We are a small club, but thanks to our owner we can invest quite a lot of money every year, even if we always have to plan the budget.”
“In the last season we cashed in € 18 million from the sale of Zaza and we could invest that money in new signings.”
“Domenico Beradi is a special case. He was co-owned with Juventus, but we manager to buy the other half of his contract for € 10 million. It is difficult to predict his value. It really depends on the offers that we are going to receive for him.”
“When you are looking for new talents, you need to be a good scout as well as being lucky. Berardi, for example, was scouted while he was playing a five-a-side football game in Reggio Calabria. We decided to sign him straight away.”
“Sime Vrsaljko is also under contract with us.Last summer we turned down some important offers for him, such as the one of Napoli. We want him to stay with us for at least one more year. He is chased both by Italian and foreign clubs.”
