Now it really begins! After the football season with the Champions League final, it's time to dive seriously into the crazy world of transfer market. Which in reality has already started for a few weeks, limited however to the coaches and some contract renewals. But now we are getting to the heart of it and fireworks are expected as never before. The viewfinder is focused above all on Milan, which after years of lean seems determined to strengthen itself with great fanfare.
La sale of 48% to Mr. Bee Taechaubol will lead Fininvest to a substantial economic advance: the (confirmed) rumors speak of 150 million, a nice treasure that the Berlusconi family holding will recover in some time, when the club will be listed on the stock exchange. However, this is of little interest to the fans, busy as they are in fantasizing about a market that is very different from the last ones. Waiting to make it official Mihajlovic as new coach (the contract with Inzaghi will have to be terminated first), Galliani is already on the hunt for players. The partnership with Doyen Sport, the investment fund supporting Mr. Bee, is opening up rather interesting fronts especially with Portugal. The Rossoneri CEO aimed at the centre-forward Jackson Martinez and the offensive fuller Brahimi, both from Porto and represented by Doyen: there could be news soon. The track is also always alive Ibrahimovic, although at the moment colder than the others. Then record the opening of Dani Alves, who will not renew his contract with Barcelona. “I confirm that there have been contacts with Milan – admitted his agent. – Now they have to speak directly with the player, at the moment I can't add anything". “I prefer not to name names otherwise the negotiations will get complicated – Berlusconi glossed over to Swiss television. – I can only say that we will be great again, with me Milan won 5 European Cups while Juve, in the same period of time, only won one...".
A barb that aroused amazement in the Turin area, where the defeat in Berlin must be archived and think about the future. Tevez, Pirlo, Pogba and Vidal, here they are the thorns of Marotta. The first two could ask for the transfer (almost certain the farewell of the director from Brescia, a little less that of the Apache), while the usual uncertainty reigns over the midfielders. But Juve will not be found unprepared: to replace Tevez (on him Boca Juniors and Psg), in addition to the already purchased Dybalawould come one between Mandzukic, Van Persie, Cavani and Higuain (however, De Laurentiis is unlikely to sell it to a direct competitor).
Important names, just like those that rotate in orbit Inter. Which, first of all, points to the renewal of Handanovic, getting closer. “The percentages of this happening are very high – explained the prosecutor Federico Pastorello. – Important steps have been taken in recent weeks, Samir wants to win at the Nerazzurri." In the meantime, Ausilio is working on various fronts. The ds has already started contacts with Chelsea for Cuadrado: the Colombian, bought in January and never settled in Blue, could arrive on loan with Mourinho's blessing. Almost impossible now to get to Yaya Tourè, Mancini has already indicated in Kondogbia the substitute but Monaco are asking for 40 million. Many, too many, that's why, in the end, the coach from Jesi risks having to "settle" with Thiago Motta and Felipe Melo, unless a monstrous offer arrives from Liverpool for Kovacic, which would bring fresh money into the Nerazzurri coffers.
Closure dedicated to Naples, Fiorentina and Lazio. The blues, after reaching an agreement with Maurizio Sarri (Giampaolo will go to Empoli) have formalized the change of director: via Riccardo Bigon (who moved to Verona), inside Cristiano Giuntoli, who stood out for his excellent performance in Carpi. The big news, however, comes from Florence, where after several days of waiting it is arrived the exemption of Vincenzo Montella. “We acknowledge that the relationship of trust has broken down – Fiorentina wrote on their website. – We would have expected clearer, more respectful and less ambiguous behavior from the coach towards a shirt, his fans and a club that have given him so much”. Harsh words, which certify a clear and cutting break, so much so that aftermaths in court are hypothesized. Montella risks being out for a season, meanwhile Viola should take precautions with Paulo Sousa: the former Juventus and Inter midfielder, now Basel coach, has already been contacted for some time. Good news instead in Lazio house: Miroslav Klose will stay again next year. "My family and I are fine in Rome, staying is a choice of the heart" explained the German. A very important "reinforcement" who could give a big hand in view of the Champions League preliminaries.
