Doors ajar, not to mention barred. Apparently the Milan office in Via Turati is far from ready to receive top players. “We are no longer working for Kakà's arrival, there are no possibilities. Drogba? We will remain as we are." It was Adriano Galliani who spoke, who after Berlusconi's words decided to increase the dose. But many things can happen in the transfer market, therefore it is forbidden to brand an operation as impossible until the final gong. In fact, the rumors say that the Rossoneri CEO will make a new attempt with Real Madrid, and in the meantime he will hopefully await news from Shanghai and Manchester. But if no news has arrived from China, the words of Mourinho and Mancini have bounced back from Spain and England. "I think Milan is a good solution for Kakà" opened Special One (moreover in the midst of the Madrid storm), "Balotelli isn't moving, we've never received any offers" concluded the Jesi coach.
While awaiting news (provided they arrive…), Milan have formalized the purchase of Cristian Zaccardo, who arrived from Parma in exchange for Djamel Mesbah. The defender's arrival unlocked a surprise transfer, not so much for the sale as for the destination. Francesco Acerbi returns to Genoa on a permanent basis, and in his place the Rossoneri get the remaining half of Kevin Constant, wholly from Milan at this point. An operation set up yesterday afternoon, when in Via Turati, welcomed by Galliani and Braida, the top management of the rossoblu presented themselves, in addition to the players' agents. And when Constant also revealed himself in the office, the film was clear.
Albeit with less spotlights, Inter also continues its transfer market. Branca and Ausilio's match is played out entirely on the transfer front, necessary to confiscate the treasure intended for Paulinho. In this sense there is good news from England: Liverpool and Southampton want Coutinho at all costs. So far it has been i Saints to submit the best offer (11 million), but i Reds (so far stuck at 8) could raise soon. The impression is that at 13 he will close, even if the will of the Brazilian must be considered, much more attracted by Liverpool. As known, the treasure will be diverted to Paulinho, for which at least 15 million are needed, even if Corinthias starts from an 18-20 base.
Meanwhile, Inter is also working on minor operations. Carrizo, the Argentine goalkeeper whose contract with Lazio is about to expire, was blocked in June, and the Nerazzurri would like to do the same with Joaquin Correa, director born in '94 for Estudiantes. The references are excellent and come from a sacred monster like Juan Sebastian Veron, now the director of the Argentine club. However, despite his past as an Inter player, he doesn't want to make any kind of discount.
