Made his debut yesterday, coming off the bench on the 88th minute, making him the joint-youngest-ever-debutant in Serie A.
Way too early to pass any judgment, but seems to be held in high regard in Italy. Anyone know anything about this kid?

Still trying to sign Pogba even though Juve told him they sold him to Man Utd

 

[Topolino]

Holy crap he's 15 and 188cm??

That guy is twice the size of Leo and half his age.

Haha,yeah he seemed like a big dude for his age, but in the few minutes he featured, that mass certainly didn't seem to slow him down like Jan Koller or lack the first touch like Lukaku

They call him the next Messi and he's 6'3, what the fuck?

Great as he may be in the future, let me remind everyone that there is one (and only one) Messi

But yeah, 6'3 doesn't exactly sound Messi-esque, does it?

 

[Yannik]

Great for him, but noone remembers wether you were one of the worlds greatest 15yos, when you aren't being one of the worlds greatest 25yos later. Let him develope in peace and see wether manages to stay relevant in the next 5-10 years.

Surely too tall to be another Leo anyway 😋

 

[KingMessi]

Pyrex? Like the glassware?

 

[bastardo]

That'd be a sight to see. Being over 6 feet and plays like Messi.

 

[Mitchell1978]

Kid could end up as tall or taller then Zlatan.

 

[gasgas]

That'd be a sight to see. Being over 6 feet and plays like Messi.

Yeah, just like Ronaldo
