Such a typical English piece of journalism.

They don't know what Roma went through to get him. They don't know how influential Lorenzo himself was to ensuring it was only Roma he signed for.

He grew up supporting the team, and originally came through their academy; then add the fact this is another year of Roma's mini-resurgence...topped off with the fact he's still developing, and nowhere near ready to start for a team aiming for the Premier League + CL title.

It's disrespectful to Serie A to pump out crap like this, as if they're some bottom-feeders to pick players from. 99% of Serie A's best players + best prospects stay in Serie A. Just look at their strikers. Belotti. Icardi. Mertens. Higuain. Dzeko. Immobile. All continue to stay. None could be pried away, because in Italy it's understood that Serie A is getting back to where they belong.

Good player. Not surprised he got a big move after his performances for Sassoulo, who punched big time about their weight under the now current Roma manager. Berardi another good player who is still at Sassoulo.

I, for one, hope that Serie A does rise to the top again. I don't know why, maybe because I grew up watching Football Italia on channel 4. 'GOAAALLL LAZZZZIOOOOO'.

Nostalgia I guess.
