Hupu announced on May 5 that the famous reporter Romano updated his personal podcast and talked about the relevant situations of many teams in the update content.
About Getafe coach Jose Bordalas
Before I talk about players today, I'm going to start with a coach. There is a coach who will recognize the opportunity and open the door to the possibility of coaching Serie A. He is a candidate worth paying attention to in the summer. This person is Getafe coach Bordalas. He is an absolute idol at Getafe, a very defensive but also very effective coach. It should be noted that Bordalas' contract with Getafe will expire at the end of the season.
Someone's departure, yesterday in Spain, was said to have been confirmed. As far as I know, this is just a possibility, not a certainty. With his contract expiring soon, Bordalas wanted to evaluate all possibilities. He has a contract extension offer from Getafe, but he also wants to leave room for other opportunities. Italy may be one of the more optimistic destinations for the Spanish coach. There has been a lot of discussion about him in the past 24 hours. I can tell you that Bordalas is open to our league. Again, we will have to see how the coaching market changes, especially for those mid-table teams, but he is definitely a name we have to keep an eye on as Bordalas is open to Italy.
About Sassuolo midfielder Cone
Some players have already opened the door to Italy and chose the Sassuolo project a year ago. This person is Ismael Cone, the Canadian midfielder we have been talking about for a long time. I still remember when we reported on this deal last year, we could already see that he had special talents from the Watford stage. As an important midfielder, Sassuolo successfully signed him from Marseille.
Today, in addition to what we have previously discussed about the interest of various clubs in the Milan midfielder, as well as the remarks made by Milan's sporting director Tare, I can tell you exclusively one detail about Ismael Cone. As far as I know, the contract signed between Cone and Sassuolo has a release clause of 35 million euros. This clause is valid until the end of July. It starts a few weeks after the season ends and runs until the end of July. And a one-time payment is required.
Looking at it from another angle, this may be an opportunity. Of course, various payment methods can also be evaluated. In addition, Cone will participate in the World Cup. If he performs well in the World Cup, Sassuolo may insist on demanding the full €35 million. On the other hand, if you were to operate before the World Cup, you might be able to try to figure out whether Sassuolo would be open to negotiations, accepting substitute players, or a lower valuation.
The situation of Ismael Cone should be noticed by many Serie A teams and Premier League teams. He has participated in football matches in England and there must be many people interested in him. Milan are quite fond of him and will therefore conduct an evaluation, but Cone is undoubtedly a name worth paying attention to this summer, especially with the specific details of this release clause.
Spain controls the midfield well when Pedri plays in World Cup matches.
