Between today and tomorrow, Gazzetta dello Sport reports, Massara will make a decisive move, with contacts already scheduled with both the player’s entourage and the Spanish club, to determine if the deal can be completed quickly. According to La Repubblica, an agreement could be reached as early as today. In Madrid, Raspadori hasn’t found the playing time he expected.
