The new "10" is about to arrive. Juventus has now reached an agreement with Fiorentina for Bernardeschi and is preparing to welcome one of the greatest Italian talents in the squad. An important purchase and obtained after a long negotiation, which lasted at least two months and made even more complicated by the environmental problems typical of a transfer from purple to black and white. 40 million plus bonuses will go to Fiorentina, 4 net to the player for the next 5 seasons. In addition, obviously, to the number 10 shirt, that of Del Piero but also of Tevez and Pogba. With this blow, Juventus put in place a battery of wingers among the best in the world, already enriched by the recent arrival of Douglas Costa. In short, a week with strong black and white colors, which began with Szczesny, continued with De Sciglio and ended with Bernardeschi. Now we need to fix midfield and defense, and if for the first we are stuck with the usual polls (N'Zonzi, Matuidi plus the Kroos dream), for the second there is a new name: it is José Gimenez, Atletico Madrid central defender perfect to replace Bonucci. The parties had an initial interim meeting and it is probable that they will meet again over the next week to decide what to do.
Patrik Schick will certainly not wear the black and white, but he is ready to move to Inter for what would really be a sensational affair. The young Czech striker was already virtually from Juve, but then the medical visits came and from there the about-face that blew up a contract that only needed signatures. “After a heart strain he had an inflammation – explained Pavel Paska, Schick's attorney. – However, all the doctors agreed that there is nothing serious, now he will rest for 5 weeks and then everything will be fine". Inter, ok from the doctors permitting, is ready to shell out the 30 million requested by Ferrero and take one of the best talents to appear in the last Serie A, thus closing a case that risked becoming hot. At the same time the negotiations concerning Vecino and Keita will be carried forward, and if the former is in the pipeline (24 million payable in two tranches), the latter still has some unknown factors, above all the Lotito factor. The president of Lazio, despite the contract expiring in 2018, does not want to drop the initial request of 30 million and is ready to arm wrestle with the player, not surprisingly already left in the pits during the last friendly.
Meanwhile, a former biancoceleste is ready to land in the capital to sensationally "jump" the Tiber and dress in yellow and red. It's about Aleksandar Kolarov, bought by Monchi for 5 million plus 1,5 bonus and already greeted by Manchester City ("I don't keep anyone unwillingly" Guardiola's farewell). The purchase, in addition to dividing the square (many Roman fans don't forgive him for his Lazio past), closes the doors to Barreca, for which Cairo has never dropped the initial price of 18 million. It's also hard to convince Leicester to sell Rihad Mahrez: Claudio Ranieri's former team, while not closing their doors, is asking for at least 50 million, far too much for Monchi, who is willing to reach a maximum of 30-35.
Important distance but less than the one that separates Milan from Andrea Belotti, the last object of desire of the Fassone-Mirabelli couple. Cairo's words a few days ago reaffirmed a very clear concept: Turin didn't like the optimism shown by the Rossoneri (moreover publicly), especially since the Gallo has a contract until 2020 complete with a monstrous 100 euro termination clause millions. The declarations of the grenade number 1 would suggest a non-transferable Belotti, in reality there is still room to mediate but one thing is certain: Milan, not surprisingly remained silent in recent days, will have to raise the cash offer (at least 60 million), insert some technical counterparts (Paletta, Niang, perhaps Bacca) and work a little more in the shadows. In the meantime Mirabelli could accelerate on the Kalinic front, for which an acceleration is expected at the beginning of the week. The Croatian continues to miss Fiorentina's withdrawal for "personal reasons", a clear sign of his desire for Milan. The purchase would not exclude that of Belotti, but he would postpone it for some time. After all, you have until August 31st to buy…
