It says Torino have a decision to make over two players they are after in midfield. Mentions previous midfielders Mazzarri has worked with, Inler & Capoue. Theres players only mentioned as a comparison to two other players they want.
TLDR: he's not after Capoue, the article is just drawing a comparison with a former player he used within his hypothetical ideal pink.
In short it implies Mazzarri likes a physical presence in midfield. At Napoli he had Inler, Watford he had Capoue. Full translation; Calciomercato, Bremer and Meite: Torino makes a "big" double blow The point / The two negotiations are about to finish: here are the muscles and the centimeters requested by Mazzarri Bremer and Meite: now we are here. We enter the hottest hours, probably the crucial ones, to understand the future of both negotiations. Torino has the second and third shots of its summer transfer market. Two players with an important physical structure: two real giants, ideal for the style of play and the tactical idea of Walter Mazzarri. COLOSSO - The physical data concerning the two players leaves no room for imagination. Soualiho Meite, in the last 6 months played at Bordeaux impressed by physical strength and dynamism. On the other hand, the 187 centimeters and 80 kilograms of which it is equipped would make him the "maximum weight" of the garnet midfield. An element of discontinuity not to be underestimated, with the grenade club that felt that the median of last season was lacking from the point of view of physical prowess. Speech amplified further if we analyze the data concerning Gleison Bremer. The Brazilian class 1997 is a real colossus: 86 kilos for 190 centimeters, a good 8 more than Nicolas Burdisso; of which he could soon take his place. THE IDEA - But let's take a step back. Because if from a purely statistical point of view they impress the physical abilities of the two players, these negotiations would have an end also from a tactical point of view. In the last experiences of Mazzarri, in fact, the technician of San Vincenzo has never renounced the centimeters within his hypothetical ideal pink. Especially in the middle of the field. In Naples was Inler the keeper of the keys of the median (183 cm, 80 kg), at Watford he touched at Capoue (189 cm, 80 kg). And at Turin? At Turin this task could be up to Meite. Now all that remains is to wait for the white smoke. Market contingencies permitting.
I would like to see us play Capoue, Chalobah and Doucoure together. Good luck keeping them from the ball for long.
