There were some talks about Daka, but they couldn’t reach the agreement. Scandalous d'Aversa is now working with Empoli. Only the approach hasn’t changed: again a lot of performers, including Solbakken, Sazonov (he must compensate for Walukiewicz, who was sold to Torino for 5 million), Maleh, Pellegri, Anjorin, De Sciglio, Colombo and so on, are loans.
