The year is not over yet and there are still no official signatures but the loan exchange between Milan and Torree and Cerci's Atletico Madrid is already inflaming the January transfer market.
If there are no final twists and if everything goes smoothly, Milan can well say that they have made a very important coup. With the 18-month acquisition of Alessio Cerci, he will once again bugger Inter (like this summer with Bonaventura), give substance to his offensive department and authorize us to think that conquering third place in the standings and entering the Champions League are no longer just a dream. Now Inzaghi, who already hopes to have the former Torino player Alessio Cerci available from tomorrow in Dubai, can play with the 4-3-3 formation that is most dear to him.
Torres, in turn, closes the sad Rossoneri parenthesis and returns home, to that Atletico Madrid who launched him and who has always remained at the top of his thoughts even in the good times of the Premier League.
The Cerci-Torres exchange is only the first move in a transfer market that promises to be poor in money but not in imagination. Ad hora Napoli should finalize the purchase of Manolo Gabbiadini, the tip of Sampdoria that the Ligurians and Juventus, which is the co-owner, are about to give perhaps too lightly to Benitez.
Then it will be up to Inter (with Podolski) and Juve (with Montoya) to do their part. Without forgetting Roma who need to strengthen their defense and could give in to the temptation to let go of Destro to raise cash and cancel the maulomori from the locker room.
