Bonucci-Higuain: great maneuvers between Juve and Milan

The central defender would like to return to Turin, but the Rossoneri ask for Caldara to sell him – The Pipita negotiation is more difficult, also courted by Sarri's Chelsea – Roma, mocked by Barcelona on Malcom, seek redemption – Apparent calm at Inter and Napoli Here are the possible goals

Bonucci-Higuain: great maneuvers between Juve and Milan

It's Juventus-Milan again. One year after the deal Bonucci, who moved to the Rossoneri for 40 million, the two clubs in question are back to cross each other on the market and the object of the dispute, sensationally, is still the defender. That, this time, he would like to go the other way, thus returning to wear that black and white shirt already worn for seven seasons. A possible deal given that it seems to make everyone agree: Juve, who would welcome back the "prodigal son", Milan, who would get rid of a onerous salary, and the player, the true architect of the negotiation. In fact, he is the one who pushes for the return to Turin, for reasons that are a bit personal (his family lives there), a bit technical, given that, to date, the prospects of Juve and Milan are quite different.

The Rossoneri, who officially signed yesterday Mirabelli sacked, have already activated via Leonardo, the man who, in the next few hours, will become to all intents and purposes the new technical director of the club, asking in exchange for the young Caldara. Marotta took a few hours to reflect: the ex Atalanta was in fact considered non-transferable but the arrival of Bonucci would still change the scenarios for him too.

In any case, the intertwining between Juve and Milan will not end here: this time in the crosshairs of the Rossoneri, he has entered in all respects Gonzalo Higuain. Interest of which we told you in unsuspecting times and which is now about to lead to a real negotiation, provided, however, that several factors coincide. First of all, the transfers of Milan, currently burdened by the various Kalinic, Bacca e Andre Silva, essential to scrape together the right treasure, and then there is the interest of Sarri's Chelsea, determined (he, Abramovich a little less) to make false papers in order to bring Pipita to London.

However, Juve is willing to negotiate on the basis of 60 million, a figure that Leonardo will try to reduce downwards, aware that the player will then have to be satisfied, determined not to make discounts on the 7,5 million salary he still takes: rock that Milan will try to circumvent by proposing a long contract, in order to guarantee Higuain a certain gain.

In all this Gattuso what does it do? It is evident that the "Elliot revolution" does not make him feel calm, especially now that he has been sent away by Mirabelli, his great sponsor as well as a daily point of reference. To date, Rino is in the US working with the team, awaiting a confrontation with the new ownership which, up to now, has never occurred. A few days ago we talked to you about how Elliot would like a more "international" technician, a guy Tale, which, however he will not accept due to the ongoing dispute with Abramovich. Therefore, barring sensational twists (the entry of Gazidis from Arsenal has circulated Wenger's name but, at the moment, there is no confirmation), Gattuso will remain the coach of Milan. But woe to taking it for granted, especially in a moment of total revolution like this.

The rest of Italy experiences the current market with less frenzy but this does not mean that there are no movements. There Roma licks the wounds of the deal Malcom, "snatched" from Barcelona (41 million cash to Bordeaux) right at the climax, with the fans already at Fiumicino waiting for a player who would never arrive. Monchi consoled himself (so to speak) with Olsen (8,5 million to Copenhagen), but now he will have to buy another winger (probable flashback on Berardi) and sell at least one between El Shaarawy (on him Turin and Fiorentina) e Perotti, with the first decidedly favorite to leave the Capital.

Flat calm instead, at least in appearance, however Napoli e Inter. The Azzurri, apart from the negotiation with PSV for the Colombian full-back Arias, they are not working on any top player, and neither are the nerazzurri, apart from the usual push and pull with Atletico Madrid for vrsaljko. However, the sensation is that it is only an apparent calm, almost as if the "hunters" Giuntoli and Ausilio want to move in silence and then attack their respective prey. Inter could try to buy Herrera from Porto (40 million clause but in a year it will expire), Napoli that of a great striker (Cavani the dream, Benzema the most concrete despite the public "insults" of De Laurentiis) to make Ancelotti happy. We'll see, certainly in the next few days there won't be boring.
