Market opportunities for Italian women abroad

Commitments that are far from simple, but which can hide opportunities. Maybe not necessarily for the direct rivals, but for other teams certainly yes. Napoli will face PSV, Juventus is expected at the Bernabeu by Real Madrid. Inter is up to Union Saint-Gilloise while Atalanta is up to Slavia Prague. Let’s find out what the most interesting market opportunities are for each of them.

A goal to unleash the attraction. This is what happened between Juventus and Ryan Flamingo, who in the last edition of the Champions League sealed the elimination of the Bianconeri in the round of 16 with a goal in extra time. The name has never lost interest even with new management and could become more and more concrete as time goes by. Flamingo, Dutch of Surinamese and Indonesian origins, will turn 23 on December 31st and has already had an approach to Italian football. In 2021 Sassuolo bought him from Almere City, and then loaned him to Vitesse and Utrecht before selling him to PSV.

youssoupha mbodji (slavia prague)

How to go from the second division of the Czech Republic to the Champions League in nine months. Youssoupha Mbodji achieved an incredible feat and was so quick to do it that his market value has not yet risen. Mbodji is a left winger born in 2004, who Slavia Prague acquired from Vysocina Jihlava in the summer. Previously, Mbodji – Senegalese, but born in Gambia – trained in some teams linked to Paris Saint-Germain in Senegal, such as Asc Doolé and Asc Aspa, before moving to Thonon Evian. A month ago he scored a brace at Bodo/Glimt and was on everyone’s radar. It is unlikely that he will still be in Prague in a year.

fedde leysen (union saint-gilloise)

A tower for defense. Fedde Leysen is over six feet tall and has a slender physique that makes him a factor in aerial tackles. Born in 2003, Leysen was born in Belgium but at 16 he moved to Eindhoven to join PSV’s youth sector, where he remained until he was twenty. He moved to Union Saint-Gilloise, who initially placed little bets on him. Today, however, he is a point of reference for the team and it is no coincidence that he has already attracted the attention of some Serie A clubs such as Bologna and Lecce, who had already set their sights on him last summer.

endrick (real madrid)

Last but not least. Being in a team of phenomena like Real Madrid also has its downsides, especially if you are young like Endrick, born in 2006. The Brazilian has shots and talent, but there is too much competition up front, closed off as he is by players of the caliber of Mbappé and Vinicius. So, for the moment he has to settle for the snippets of the match that Xabi Alonso gives him. But it is too little to have the certainty of being called by Ancelotti for the next World Cup and a loan move could be a viable option. De Zerbi dreams of having him at Marseille, but Italy could also be a viable solution because he has an affordable salary.
