Game-Winning Goal Could Change the Future of Raspadori

Giacomo Raspadori has been linked to a few sides ahead of the January window due to his sparse playing time. However, his decisive goal against Venezia could prompt Antonio Conte, who wasn’t too keen on losing him to begin with, to ask the front office to take him off the market, La Repubblica informs.

The attacker has been shopped around by his agent, who’s looking for a suitable landing spot. Juventus, Roma, and Atalanta displayed at least some preliminary interest. While it wouldn’t be a straight swap, a loan to Turin could convince the Bianconeri to let go of Danilo.

Antonio Conte was quizzed about Raspadori after the match (via Tuttomercatoweb).

“We’re working on him as a box-to-box midfielder. Increasing the quality in deadlocked matches could be an important option for us. I’m happy for him because he practices seriously and professionally. He’s committed to our project.” “We should abolish the January market. It’s a difficult month for coaches. Then, I always say that these players contributed to our 41 points, so we have to involve everybody. Our goal will be to avoid getting weaker and doing damage. The club knows that, if we intervene, it’ll have to be to improve, either numerically or talent-wise.”

Our Take on Raspadori

A spark plug role would be better than nothing, and he could do well in it, but it might not be enough to justify their investment and make him happy. On the other hand, ultimately, whatever Conte wishes will be met. If his departure will lead to an addition he likes more or considers more useful, he’ll go. Otherwise, he’ll stay put.
