No market updates for Antonio Candreva, who played a small part in the last pre-season game yesterday together with Joao Mario: a move that shows how the Roman winger is currently on the fringes of Spalletti’s squad.

Initially he was included in the Keita transaction (loan with a right of redemption) but instead, for the moment, he decided to reflect before accepting the transfer to the Principality – explains Corriere dello Sport.

Candreva was ever-present in Inter’s starting line-up last year but managed to go the entire season without scoring a single goal.

Last night he was in Madrid with the team and he does not rule out staying in Milan to fight for a place in the starting line-up despite the competition for places. Monaco have not yet found a substitute for Keita and as the French market closes on the 31st August, the doors to Jardim’s team for the former Lazio player will remain open even after Friday, the last day of the Italian transfer campaign.”
