This is a complete non starter with absolutely zero chance of us paying 20 million
The Italian FA have (understandable) strong links with the San Marino FA, and San Marino's one pro club (controlled by their FA) plays in the Italian league. Maybe the friendly is just intended as a fund-raiser for the plucky minnows (akin to the Albion benevolence in affording Worthing friendly fixtures in years past).

Probably not up-front, no, but with add-on's for appearances / survival or whatever it could be done.
And, you never know, this could be the big marquee signing.
I'm not suggesting that THIS transfer will happen, but that statement is a rash one.
We would be the first club recently promoted to the Prem, to NOT pay BIG money for a decent attacking player, if we failed to do so.

How so? It's 20M euros which is about 17M. There were many reports of us spending 7-8M in the Championship.
What clubs haven't spent big when gaining promotion? We need a (good) striker which is going to demand a high transfer fee.
Absolute nonsense - plucky Bournemouth have hardly spent a BEAN.

After talk of shite like George Boyd, this rumour definitely isn't underwhelming. More latin love-in for our north stand Rossoneri.

But realistically even if we were prepared to spend that sort of cash why would he come to Brighton, it would be like Birmingham City signing David Stockdale.

Would it? Is Serie A better than the Prem? I don't think there is even an ounce of comparability.

Points taken, however
1: This is only being reported on one web site and no other than NSC.
2: Other more established teams are linked to him
3: Palace think he is too expensive.
4: A very big gamble at that price, and given our Tony and gambling he is risk adverse.
5: Add all the above together = Bollox

Ah but Palace also think paying back their debts is too expensive so....
Never heard of him so watched the videos on here for the first time. Reminds me of Robbie Keane the way he drops deep to link midfield with attack. That's good
Down side - Seems to have a knack of using his arms and elbows. Potential few sending offs and suspensions, which wouldn't be so good

Can you really see Albion spending 20 million Euros on a player? I doubt we'll come close to 10 million personally, and that is not a complaint btw.

You asked if we could really see this happening, I replied that I can, I didn't say we will. But please feel free...
