And now it's Juve's turn! The defeat in the Super Cup highlighted some limits that were already visible before but which now, in the light of what happened in Rome, can no longer be ignored. The bianconeri have revealed gaps in defense and in midfield and must take advantage of the final phase of the transfer market to fill them in the best possible way. The first objectives, ironically, are found right in the Lazio house: De Vrij and Keita in fact would respectively bring experience and athleticism, moreover without disdaining the qualitative aspect at all. However, Lotito doesn't give anyone discounts, not even in the face of the two contracts expiring in just ten months: the price for the couple is 50 million, not one euro less. Up until now Marotta has tried to negotiate, but now time is running out and it is time to make a precise choice.
In between then the hot names are those of Matuidi and Emre Can and here too the stalemate has been going on for several weeks. Allegri has sketched it out without arguing but it is clear that Juve's competitiveness, especially in the international arena, depends above all on what the club will do in the last two weeks of the transfer market. Even at Milan it's time to complete the squad, even if here we are mainly talking about the attack. In the last few hours, the track that leads to Kalinic has become hot again, so much so that many now consider the deal concluded. The Croatian should move to Milan in the next few days for 25 million euros, although it is not yet clear whether they include Antonelli's transfer (much appreciated by Pioli) or in addition to it.
At the same time Mirabelli negotiates the transfer of Bacca, now to all intents and purposes a separate player at home as evidenced by the 4 hour delay in pre-August 29 training. The Colombian would like to return to Sevilla, however it is probable that he will settle down in Spain but at Villarreal, who have come to offer an onerous loan with an obligation to buy at 100 million: a formula that suits Milan, but now it's up to the player to give his consent . Berry outgoing and Kalinic arriving, which however does not definitively exclude the purchase of another weight point, one like Aubameyang. The Gabonese came out inviting Milan "not to sleep", the problem however, more than the lack of readiness of Via Aldo Rossi, remains the price, given that Borussia Dortmund continues to ask for XNUMX million. We'll see if the last days of the transfer market will bring the parties closer together, but that's not how Roma did with Leicester on the Mahrez front: the English have defined their player as non-transferable and the game is to be considered closed. Now it is probable that Monchi will turn to Berardi, who has always been a protégé of Di Francesco.
Hectic days also for Inter, who arrived close to the championship with a real emergency in defense. At the moment Spalletti has only Miranda and Skriniar at his disposal (Ranocchia is injured), which is why the sale of Murillo has been temporarily blocked: the deal with Valencia (with whom he is also negotiating for Kondogbia) will take place but only in case a substitute. At the moment Sabatini, having received the no from PSG for Kimpembe and given the difficulties in reaching Fazio (Roma does not want to sell him), is probing the English market in search of opportunities. Otamendi is more than an idea but Manchester City, who also fielded him as a starter in the first league match, do not intend to loan him out without the obligation to buy and the argument, euro plus euro minus, also applies to Mangala. Hence the "freezing" on the sale of Murillo, in the hope that mid-August will not only bring the classic fireworks on the beaches but also some good market opportunities.
