INTER TRY BUT TEVEZ WAITS FOR MILAN. PSG AND CHELSEA TRY PATO, MONTOLIVO WILL ARRIVE IN JUNE.
Intense traffic (telephone) on the Milan – Manchester. The soap opera Tevez is now very well known: the Rossoneri, strengthened by the agreement with the player, have offered City a loan with the right to buy, an offer rejected by the English. There had been a rapprochement before Christmas, with the Citizens having accepted the loan formula but only if linked to a mandatory redemption. Milan hasn't accepted at the moment, but it's clear that the Rossoneri will have to make an effort if they really want the player. Also because many teams like Tevez, above all Massimo Moratti's Inter. The nerazzurri, through the mouth of the manager Marco Branca, have contacted Brian Marwood, a leading manager of Manchester City, and it is safe to bet that they will soon do the same with the player too (if they haven't already done so). So far Tevez has kept his word given to Milan, but it is clear that until there is a signing, everything will be possible. In via Turati they know it well, that's why they will try to unblock the negotiation as soon as possible. A solution could be the compulsory redemption linked to performance or attendance (as for Aquilani), a proposal that could satisfy everyone. There will be no problems for Riccardo's membership Montolivo, for which you will only need a little patience. The Viola midfielder's contract will expire in June, and he has already communicated for some time that he will not renew. Montolivo gave his word to Milan, that's why he refused the advances of Juventus. Only big headlines in French and English newspapers (at least for now) those that concern Duckincreasingly at the center of controversy. PSG and Chelsea like the Brazilian very much, but at the moment no offers have been received in via Turati. Should they arrive, they would be evaluated all right.
JUVENTUS, AFTER BORRIELLO IT'S THE TURN OF PIZARRO AND CACERES! NOW MAROTTA HAS TO THINN THE SQUAD: WILL IT SUCCEED?
Unleashed, on the field and in negotiations. Juventus is undoubtedly the big name that is moving the most in this repair market, which in the plans of Marotta and Conte will have to change the black and white squad quite a bit. Taken Borriello even before the starting blocks (500 thousand euro loan, optional redemption at 7,5 million), Juve are also close to Martin Caceres, a 24-year-old Uruguayan defender already with Juventus in the disastrous 2009/2010 season. Then the "Old Lady" preferred not to redeem it, but today things have changed. Conte greatly appreciates the Uruguayan, a very flexible defender, able to play on the wing but also in the center of the box. With Sevilla there is already an agreement in principle on an onerous loan (1 million), but the agreement on the redemption is still missing: the Spaniards would like it mandatory (at 7,5 million), Juve linked to performance (minimum Champions League qualification). In any case, the deal will be done, as well as what concerns David Pizarro. The Chilean from Roma is now a separate player at home with Luis Enrique, who has never considered him useful for his project. Pizarro it will be a luxury alternative to Pirlo, even if we will have to wait a few more days before seeing him in Turin. Marotta has to sell several players: from Amauri (Fiorentina likes him, we talk about it below) to Toni (for him offers from the USA and Brazil), from Iaquinta to Grosso, without forgetting Krasic, Motta, Sorensen and Pazienza, the redundancies at home black and white are many. And if Pazienza and Sorensen have numerous offers (Udinese especially likes the former a lot, but Conte would like to keep him), the situation is difficult for the others. Marotta will have to unravel it, and then the Juventus market will be able to define itself as "scudetto".
INTER–LAVEZZI, DE LAURENTIIS DENIES. LUCAS FREEZES THE NERAZZURRI: "I'M GOOD AT SAN PAOLO".
Work is also underway at Inter, albeit with the lights off. The names that are combined with the Beneamata are many, even too many. The most captivating one (for January of course) is Lucas, Brazilian talent of São Paulo. The green-gold attacking midfielder is very popular, but costs the same (rescission clause of 80 million, feasible negotiation starting from 25). Furthermore, the young Brazilian does not seem to be in a hurry to leave his homeland, at least according to his statements: "The fans rest assured that they will see a more motivated, cheerful Lucas on the pitch with a greater willingness to play," he told the official website of the Paulista club. Circumstance sentences? It could be, but certainly the days of Brazilian "looting" are over: today, a green-and-gold player costs a lot, indeed a lot, and it's not a bluff (Neymar and Ganso are still there). Another rumor inflamed Inter Milan yesterday, the one concerning a sale of Sneijder (Manchester United) and the purchase of Lavezzi. Unrealistic hypothesis for January, but far from impossible in June. The Dutchman would have no problem leaving Inter, as would Pocho to do the same with Naples. The release clause of the Argentine Lightning is 31 million, but good relations (see Pandev's free loan) could also lead to a small discount. De Laurentiis denied (“Nobody called me, it's hot air”) but, we are sure, he will talk about it again.
ROME, CASEMIRO READY IF DE ROSSI DOES NOT RENEW. GILARDINO'S FIRST TRAINING WITH GENOA. FIORENTINA IS LOOKING FOR A FEEDER: AMAURI, FLORO FLORES OR MAXI LOPEZ?
In the Roma house, everything revolves around The Rossi. The contractual affair of Capitan Futuro (?) has been at the center of the Giallorossi world for months, and this is precisely the problem. The longed-for white smoke does not arrive, and by now many are getting used to the idea that De Rossi could leave the capital. Someone from England has even hypothesized that the farewell (destination City) could take place in January, but at the moment there is no confirmation. However, the award-winning firm Baldini–Sabatini has long since lost its optimism, and the only hope lies in James Pallotta. The powerful American shareholder should meet Sergio Berti (De Rossi's agent) over the weekend. The most probable hypothesis is that the midfielder agrees to sign a contract (five years at 5 million) enriched, however, by a release clause set at 20-25 million. Perfect parachute for everyone: for Roma, who in the event of a transfer request would earn a good amount and for the player, who would thus keep the door open to a future away from the capital. Sabatini is however taking precautions with Casemiro, a 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder who could arrive for 10 – 12 million.
Yesterday was an important day for the rossoblu Genoa. After the outbreak in Naples (with Malesani's consequent sacking), Genoa embraced its fans again in Pegli's training. Present the new signing Alberto Gilardino, bought for 8 million, who released the first words from rossoblu: “I signed for an important company, I want to repay the trust of Preziosi. I also thank Fiorentina for the great seasons we lived together."
Yes, Fiorentina. The assignment of Gilardino he has left a void in the hearts of the Viola fans, which Corvino will have to fill as soon as possible with a new striker, also because Delio Rossi needs him like bread. There are three names: Amauri, with whom there have already been contacts, Floro Flores (name that took off yesterday evening) e Maxi Lopez, already followed in the summer. The Argentine would be the favourite, but Catania are asking for 8 million, a figure that the Della Valles consider too high. More difficult (although not impossible) to get to Zarate: Inter could transfer him to Florence until June, then the discussion would be between Della Valle and Lotito (the player is all from Lazio). But the high salary (1,5 million for six months), the uncertainty about the future (negotiating with Lotito is not easy) and the poor performance of the Argentine make the hypothesis very unlikely.
