Squinzi: ‘Sassuolo want to keep Berardi’

By Football Italia staff

Sassuolo President Giorgio Squinzi discusses his “dream” of holding onto Domenico Berardi, and “within a few years we’ll fight for the Scudetto”.

Since winning promotion to Serie A in 2013, the Neroverdi have progressed every year and this season are competing in the Europa League for the first time.

“The Champions League is one of our objectives, and within a few years we’ll fight for the Scudetto,” Squinzi told assembled media.

“Sassuolo has everything you need. We have a great Coach, a squad of youngsters who will end up being internationals and the financial strength that you need.

“In terms of financial strength, in Italy we’re second only to Juve.

“Berardi? My dream is to hold onto him and turn him into a symbol, but we have to assemble a team that is up to the level of this extraordinary player.”

There is a "gentleman's agreement" for Juve to have an option on Berardi, while Inter have also been heavily linked.
