I think that this kind of deal is more for next seasons building, as the management and owner think we'll go up this season.
The kid is 19, he's playing for a mid-lower Serie A team on a wage that I'm guessing is peanuts.
So if we're talking about stepping stones, say we sign him and he plays well and we get promoted? Would he want to move back to Italy on wages less than what we could and afford to pay?
But more importantly, say a Man City or Chelsea take an interest after he's played well for us this season? He's already acclimatised to the English culture, he'll be 20/21 and we'd easily make double/triple on him straight away.
Or we don't sell him and proceed to world domination.
