The two big names in European football, however, did not want to give in to the very high demands of Aurelio de Laurentiis and so they gave up on buying the Nigerian striker, preferring less expensive players. This is the comment of Enzo Maresca after today’s draw against Crystal Palace: “We want players on our terms, we have to decide. If someone hasn’t arrived, it means the conditions weren’t good for us,” he said referring in general to the centre-forward that the Blues they would have liked to buy.

Will you try again in January?
“Yes, we’ll see from now until January how things go. I don’t know how many games we have, I’ve said many times that I like to focus on the present and the immediate future. We’ll see in January.”
