the title reports that his offer would be of 60M euros, but the article than states 70M. all 4 bidders are cited, but the interesting read is the last paragraph. it basically says that the newspaper has spoken to a non specified person inside the club that said "we can't say anything, at the moment all this is speculation because we've received ONE offer, officialy".

You hang out on the transfer threads, have we been linked to any Italiians this window?

Very rarely spend time in the transfer threads actually.

Pisano would be a great player to get from Cagliari though, very quick left back.
