Let the market begin! The winter negotiation session, once defined as a "repair" session, begins today, at least officially has become now, thanks to the globalization of football, a simple continuation of the summer one. Only those in immediate need will not move: the operations, in fact, will also concern any business for June. This is the case with Juve, already sufficiently structured for the current season but always on the lookout for what concerns the future. The idea is to retrace what was done a year ago with Emre Can: the midfielder, whose contract was about to expire, did not renew with Liverpool and the Lady thus got an excellent deal. History could repeat itself now with Ramsey, especially since in June the farewells of Khedira and Matuidi are increasingly probable for personal reasons. Replacing them with the 28-year-old Welshman would be a great coup even if a large salary offer will be necessary to overcome the competition from PSG: it is no coincidence that the Times tells of a five-year contract worth 7 million per season. On the other hand, at least according to Paratici, it is impossible to get to Mbappé, the purchase of De Ligt is much more feasible: the Ajax centre-back would greatly enhance the defense, which is why the Juventus director is ready to sacrifice Kean's card, as well as obviously a substantial cash offer.
But let's come to the present and to the market that concerns this season. Who has to move more and better than the others is certainly Milan, however forced to deal with the limitations imposed by UEFA. Leonardo, waiting to understand how the appeal to the Tas in Lausanne will go, is looking carefully at all the leads concerning forwards and playmakers, roles in which the Rossoneri need more intervention. Sfumati Muriel (expected today in Italy for medical visits with Fiorentina) and Fabregas (closer and closer to Monaco), Milan studies the "practices" Gabbiadini and Sensi, with the hope of finding the best possible purchase formula. The ideal would be a loan with the right/obligation to buy, a scenario that Southampton does not like, however, which, for the former Napoli striker (able to play both inside and outside), wants 12 million. Even the Sassuolo workshop is quite expensive (Squinzi asks for 25 million), which is why Leonardo will not move quickly, in the hope that prices will fall and that the redundancies, in the meantime, will find a new accommodation, thus allowing them some more money. The first to leave could be Borini, on whom there is already a negotiation in place with the Chinese of Shenzen: between demand (8 million) and supply (7) he dances little and the announcement could arrive at any moment.

Maneuvers underway even in Rome, where the methods of intervention are substantially the same: first sell, then buy. Monchi evaluates offers for Marcano and Coric, is preparing to loan Karsdorp to Feyenoord, has officially removed Schick from the transfer market. On the revenue front, defenders like them Maidana (San Paolo) and Kabak (Galatasaray) and midfielders Berge (Genk), Dendoncker (Wolverhampton) and Weigl (Borussia Dortmund), in addition to the much better known Ashley Young, whose contract with Manchester United is about to expire. There is also Inter on English, currently stopped at various polls and the management of the Nainggolan case. In fact, the Belgian's future is a puzzle: disciplinary and physical problems are undermining a marriage that, just 4 months ago, seemed solid. We'll see what happens, what is certain is that the Nerazzurri market, barring twists and turns, will not offer names to scream, just like that of Napoli. Beyond the usual Asian sirens for Hamsik (this time from Japan), the winter one will be a study session, waiting for the big promised by De Laurentiis in June. We look forward to the moves of the big names, aware that anything can always happen in the market. And that a match may be enough to start the fire.
