Croatian midfielder Toma Bašić, 28, is currently out of the list of 18 over players and, according to today's edition of Il Messaggero, Sarri would like to have him available soon. Dele-Bashiru, who is being assessed by the Biancocelesti medical staff but could become surplus, could make room for him. Bašić's contract runs until June 2026, and he has recently been linked with AEK Athens and Empoli; his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €800k.
