Abroad the barrels, here…little or nothing. This winter market session ended under the banner of "lots of smoke and no fire", at least as far as our Serie A is concerned. Because the big coups Inter e Napolithey simply did not arrive and also there Roma (but all in all this is good news) she spent the last day as a spectator. However, if the Giallorossi can console themselves with Dzeko's stay (the way things had turned out, it's almost a new signing) so it's not for the Azzurri and the Nerazzurri, the most disappointed in this winter negotiation session.
La Spalletti's team dreamed Pastore, found herself with a match in her hand and yet another bad impression in front of public opinion. Pass the Financial Fair Play, as well as the restrictions of the Chinese government, but here it was a question of releasing 5 million for the loan of an important player, one of those able to make a difference.
In short, a necessity, all the more so with a fourth place within reach but far from certain: should he fail, Suning will find himself having to deal with yet another season without the Champions League which, in addition to the loss of income of at least 30 million, will lead farewell to those few top players already in the squad, Icardi above all. Sabatini and Ausilio therefore come out with broken bones and even Spalletti, beyond the arrivals of Lisandro Lopez and Rafinha, doesn't have much to smile about.
Just better climate in the house Napoli but only by virtue of a ranking which, currently, also allows the luxury of not giving too much weight to the market. Between now and the end of the championship, however, the theme could become topical again and the fans, however passionate, will not forgive De Laurentiis for anything.
Sarri had asked for reinforcement in attack, someone who could really alternate with the usual Callejon and Insigne, but he got nothing. Verdi refused him, all right, but one between Deulofeu and Politano could have been taken, at least that's what they hoped in the shadow of Vesuvius and to think that the young Younes also died (postponed to June) only increases the dissatisfaction of the square .
For the rest not much to say: Juventus e Milan, albeit for different reasons, they didn't need to intervene, Roma only sold Emerson Palmieri but Dzeko kept and this, beyond the purchase of the young Jonathan Silva (full-back borrowed with the obligation to buy 6 million from Sporting Lisbon) is the real great news that makes the yellow and red people rejoice.
However, things change if you look abroad, in particular at Premier League English, once again queen of the world market. Up there a real one has unleashed strikers waltz, which after the already known steps of Sanchez to Manchester United and Mkhitaryan at Arsenal, he saw Aubameyang to the Gunners themselves (64 million plus bonuses), Giroud to Chelsea (18) and batshuayi to Borussia Dortmund (loan).
Everyone happy? Not a chance. Antonio Conte wanted Dzeko and the absence in the presentation of Emerson Palmieri (which he branded with a curt "I don't know him") made a lot of noise. The signs of a farewell to June are all there, but that's another story. Which, of course, we will not fail to tell…
