We are officially at that point of the summer transfer window when things get weird.
AS Roma’s Joao Costa got some first-team minutes last season and scored in a friendly against Al-Shabab in the middle of the season.
Fast forward to this season, 3 Added Minutes wrote a piece about how Football Manager 2024 would predict Hull City’s summer transfer window business.
Football Manager transfers are random and the simulation game predicted that Roma’s Joao Costa would join Hull on a loan deal, without having any option or obligation to buy him permanently. The outlet mentioned that in the piece.
Roma outlet Voce Giallorossa have now looked at the oddity, branding it as ‘fake news’ and they are sensible enough to understand that the reports were simply picked up from Hull’s Football Manager predictor.
Their report also mentions that Hull will not sign the youngster and the 19-year-old has the faith of manager Daniele de Rossi.
He is currently not for sale.
