Transfer market, after Honda and Nainggolan eyes on Thohir's moves. It's an auction for Pogba

After the first signings of Roma and Milan, and the imminent moves of Napoli (which after Beharmi's injury could seek two midfielders), all eyes are on Erick Thohir's first moves as Inter's new owner, who he will have to give some signal to Mazzarri…

Transfer market, after Honda and Nainggolan eyes on Thohir's moves. It's an auction for Pogba

Now it's their turn. The transfer market is carefully observing the movements of Milan and Inter, once leaders in the sector, and today reduced to acting as extras. It is the Nerazzurri team in particular that is under observation, especially as regards Erick Thohir. The new president continues to talk about the project, but in the meantime the results don't arrive and the fans are hoping for purchases capable of reversing the trend. At the moment, however, there is no trace of investments on the market: in addition to D'Ambrosio, who could arrive from Turin in exchange for the co-ownership of Duncan or the loan of Botta, the only hot name is that of Borriello. The striker is Garcia's sixth choice and he would therefore gladly leave the capital to submit to Mazzarri's orders. The deal certainly doesn't inflame the Nerazzurri, who would much prefer Osvaldo. The Italian-Argentine, however, costs much more and could only arrive in the event of an illustrious transfer. The suspects are Guarin and Ranocchia, but both seem close to confirmation. In fact, Mourinho's denial came from London ("Guarin? I don't care"), while there are no noteworthy offers on the centre-back. A difficult market for Inter, provided that Thohir does not decide to take the field himself.

The situation is different for Milan, which at least has already completed two signings. After the presentation of Honda, yesterday came that of Rami, a central defender who arrived on loan with the right to buy from Valencia. The press conference was an opportunity to listen again to Galliani, who spoke about both the transfer market and the transfer market. “It's a time when there are a thousand phone calls – explained the CEO. – In my opinion, this transfer market will move many players, because, from what I know, many want to change teams." One for example is Michael Essien, increasingly on the fringes of Chelsea, which moreover could also be used in the Champions League. All postponed instead for Fernando del Porto, who should arrive only in the summer. But Milan must also give way: in goal (one between Gabriel and Amelia will go away), in defense (with Rami there are even seven centre-backs), where Vergara will leave (his loan to Reggina skipped for regulatory reasons) and Zaccardo, in attack ( Matri is the number one suspect, on him Sampdoria, Lazio and Fiorentina).

The situation at Juventus is decidedly more serene, at least as far as the present is concerned. The future, on the other hand, is full of unknowns, especially as regards Paul Pogba. While waiting for Marotta and Raiola to find an agreement for the renewal of the contract (with a relative increase in wages, which will thus reach 4,5 million euros), Europe that counts is preparing the assault. Psg, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have in fact targeted the French star, and are ready to challenge each other to the tune of millions in what could be the auction of the summer. Juve doesn't want to give in, but faced with 55/60 million they would almost be forced to do so. We'll only talk about it in a few months, but the "noise of enemies" is already scary.
