Approach & Philosophy

La Squadra targets Paraguayan and broader South American profiles that can adapt physically and tactically to Europe, often staging via Brazil or direct Premier League placements. Scouting emphasizes positional versatility, mentality and development runway. Negotiations favor clear sporting projects, structured add-ons and protection clauses, balancing immediate opportunity with medium-term growth.
