Yeah.
Main source seems to be F.Polo, who is considered tier 1 source.
However Polo has been talking non stop last month, he went full Gerard Romero. Which either means he is Deco new mouth piece, or know jack shit and cashing on reputation.
Interestingly, Polo previously said we were working on Amorim but now he is going to Liverpool. Probably we were hoping to low ball Sporting and that went out of the window with a club who can pay it, and on top of that give him signings.
I think this kind of support
@Porque point. The club is heading for a bit of rebuild and youth movement with austerity measures and what is better for that than B team coach? Certainly not a Flick or a Tuchel who will whine all season long due to lack of signing. Amorim would have fit the description too.
I think this is also Deco strategy, who is a youth oriented SD from what it seems.
I expect us to try to renew everyone from FA class 2026, and probably extend loans of Felix/Cancelo (both were great for a free loans) but the alternative will always be a young player.
It doesn't help that FA class of 2024 is ass.
