Le Parisien report that Paris Saint-Germain will finalise a deal for Sassuolo star Gianluca Scamacca next week.
The 23-year-old Italian forward is seemingly ready for the jump to a top team following an impressive season under Alessio Dionisi, where he netted 16 goals in 36 appearances. He was linked with a move to Inter and Milan, but in the end a move never materialised, allowing PSG to come forward.
As detailed by Le Parisien, PSG are now set to complete a deal for Scamacca, paying Sassuolo around €50m total. Things are expected to be fully finalised next week, allowing him to join the pre-season preparations with new coach Christophe Galtier.
The 23-year-old Scamacca joined Sassuolo in January 2017 from PSV’s youth system in a deal worth around €500,000 total. Since arriving, he’s made 41 appearances for the Neroverdi, for a total of 2329 minutes, scoring 16 goals total. He’ll be hoping for a chance to show his best as he joins a star-studded attack.
Bad move. How is he going to dislodge Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. This will turn out to be another Immobile and he should have stayed in Italy longer to develop.
Fully agree with you @Lord allegri – mbappe is playing in the centre and thats it – scamacca – cant play on the left or right channel – should have waited at least 1yr – kane from tottenham most likely will be sold – or even wait till ronaldo from man utd moves this transfer and go to man utd – or chelsea
I can’t make sense of the transfer windows anymore. I’m not sure if clubs like PSG or Man City know what they’re doing themselves half the time either.
50m for a bench player when clubs like Milan have a 50m budget in total. It says something about the player too. Scamacca is not ready for this move. He’ll be another Pellegri.
Concur fully with the views of others here – absolutely dumb move for Gianluca. He’s still not the finished article and needs to play regularly. This is only going to damage his chances of playing for Italy. PSG is the bain of Serie A – they keep taking our talent and, with the only exception in Verratti, they become lesser players.
