“The names being mentioned are interesting options, but we need to evaluate if there will be an opportunity.

“January is not an easy month to sign new players, but we are working for it."

The Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities ruled that the Stadio Franchi was a building of historic interest and could not be torn down or significantly restructured.

“We hope President Commisso will continue on his path, he was very disappointed and we are a little bit worried about the building of the new training center too. If we can make it, it could be the best thing to develop young players.

“He is a little bit worried, but he is focused on the team and ready to fight.”
