The amusing part of this is that if you asked pretty much everyone on this forum (including me) to name the top 5 midfielders RM would target to replace Casemiro, given that they signed Camavinga last season and Tchouaméni this, and already have Modric, Kroos & Valverde, I suspect hardly anyone would have put PEH on the list.
I may be putting 2 + 2 together and making 27.
But I note, Ancelotti was keen to push Casemiro out the door, and has prior interest in PEH.
And Conte said at yesterday's presser, I paraphrase, that any player leaving (by which I assume he means the core squad, not the banished 4), would need to be replaced.
If Paratici thought he could get eg Zaniolo & SMS with the extra money from the PEH deal, Conte might be persuaded to sell him.
