Sabatini is a fan of both men and hopes Massara can pull off a deal for January.

On Massara, he told Il Corriere dello Sport: "He's a fixer, intelligent, well-prepared, and clear." 

Asked about Zirkzee, Sabatini insists the striker is capable of playing in any competition.

He added, "I hope Massara manages to get him, I know he's working on him like a blacksmith, with the same dedication."
