Two clues that prove. The photo published on Twitter by Al-Thani, brother of the sheik owner of PSG, which portrays Cristiano Ronaldo dressed as a Parisian next to Messi, sets the market on fire again around the Portuguese, as well as the rather authoritative voices collected by the Equipe, which give him instead very close to Manchester City. The derby between sheiks therefore moves to the CR7 front, whose permanence at Juve, already questioned several times during the summer, thus becomes more uncertain than ever. It certainly can't be a coincidence that Paris put forward its candidacy on the very day when Real Madrid did the same for Mbappé, presenting an offer of 160 million. The French club, for now, has remained firm on the initial request of 180, but it is clear that things are moving: the young transalpine phenomenon, moreover, has only one year of his contract and has already officially communicated that he does not want to renew.
"Ligue 1 is not a top league" he declared in an interview, confirming in fact that he wants to leave already in this market session. And so, just as we repeated several times during the summer, PSG turned to Ronaldo, even if, it should be reiterated, there is still no official negotiation with Juventus at the moment. However, the feeling remains that the Portuguese already has one foot outside Turin, but that neither he nor the Bianconeri really have the ball in hand. After all, Jorge Mendes, as well as PSG, has also offered him to Manchester City, which after an initial coldness seems to be quite interested: first choice Harry Kane, in fact, remains blocked by Tottenham's crazy requests, while CR7 could come away for about 30 million. In the meantime, the person concerned and Juve continue to work together, but the smiles have long since disappeared: he is no longer the untouchable star of the team, as demonstrated by the Udine bench, and the fact that he has taken it unusually well he confirms that, after all, he doesn't even care that much anymore (remember the reaction after the change of Sarri a couple of years ago?).
In all of this, Juventus fans are divided between those who would agree to sell him, perhaps to definitively relaunch Dybala, and those who think otherwise, attached to the superlative numbers of these three years together (101 goals in 134 games), also because he is not clear if the club would then be able to replace him worthily. At the beginning of the summer there was insistent talk of Gabriel Jesus and who knows if the question could become topical again, especially if the Portuguese ends up right at City (a transfer to PSG instead could reopen the Icardi discussion), unless a decision is made to leave everything unchanged, considering that the Juventus attack can already count on Dybala, Morata, Chiesa, Kulusevski and Kajo Jorge. Ronaldo monopolizes the scene, but the market is not just about him. The other great news of the day concerns Inter, who have in fact concluded the purchase of Joaquin Correa. Tucu, Inzaghi's first choice, will arrive on loan with a redemption obligation set at 30 million plus 1 bonus, an operation that will allow the Nerazzurri not to burden the current budget and Lazio to collect a respectable figure, albeit in 12 months .
The will of the player was decisive, very firm in wanting to join his former coach in the shadow of the Madonnina, but also Marotta's move to option Belotti, who seemed one step away yesterday afternoon. In fact, the CEO did not want to be drawn into an exhausting negotiation by Lotito, so he contacted Cairo and found an agreement in principle for Gallo. In the evening however, thanks also to the mediation of Alessandro Lucci, the Argentine's attorney, the Lazio patron lowered his claims, accepting the 31 million from Viale Liberazione. There is no official announcement yet, but it could arrive as early as today to the delight of Inzaghi, ready to welcome Tucu for Friday's away game in Verona. Now it is difficult for Belotti to arrive too, given that the Nerazzurri budget does not allow it, but it cannot be ruled out that Inter will be able to complete the department with another first striker, a younger and cheaper deputy Dzeko: the hot name is that of Scamacca, that Sassuolo would let leave on loan with the right of redemption.
Speaking of strikers, Milan embraced Pietro Pellegri, whose signing will become official today: yesterday the now former Monaco player underwent the usual medical tests and today he will become the Rossoneri with the onerous loan formula (1 million) with the right to buy (obligation in case of a total of attendance) set at 6 (plus 15% on future resale). Bakayoko's agents also met at Casa Milan, whose return (again on loan) now seems a matter of hours, so much so that Pioli hopes to be able to call him up for the match against Cagliari on Sunday, and work continues on the attacking midfielder /external forward: the list of eligible candidates, in addition to the usual suspects Vlasic and Adli, has been enriched with the names of Corona del Porto, Sarabia del Psg and Messias del Crotone, the latter being a slight favorite if Castillejo goes to Getafe. The other news of the day concerns Lazio, which has finally concluded the purchase of Basic from Bordeaux (7 million plus 2 bonus), Atalanta, which officially presented Zappacosta, Genoa, which after taking Maksimovic is increasingly close to Caicedo and the unleashed Fiorentina, which after Torreira from Arsenal (onerous loan of 1 million with a redemption set at 15) dreams of snatching Berardi from Sassuolo, whose request however is fixed at the monstrous sum of 40 million.
