One more week, then it will start to get serious. The countdown to the premiere of championship is now winding down, the market instead has just entered its last month, the one that usually offers the juiciest news. This year however, thanks to the premature start of the Serie A, many big names have already moved a lot, even if the argument does not apply in the same way for all. So let's see how the various negotiations proceed, with the awareness that things can change at the speed of light in the market.
Allegri is in a hurry: assault on Kostic, Paredes and a deputy Vlahovic
At the beginning of July, Juventus seemed to have moved better than the competition, but then it arrived Pogba's injury (by the way: the French chose conservative therapy, with faster recovery times but greater risks for the meniscus) and Allegri he rediscovered the emergency. It is above all the midfield that needs an important intervention, although they swear from Turin that Paredes had been in the crosshairs for some time, regardless of Pogba's problems.
However, the negotiation with PSG is not simple, because Campos would like a permanent sale (25-30 million), while the Juve, stronger than what just happened between Wijnaldum , Roma, pushes for a loan. What is certain is that the Argentine is no longer part of the plans of the French; therefore, the bianconeri have a certain optimism on the success of the operation, even if the times are far from certain.
A similar argument can also be made for the deputy Vlahovic, another piece requested loudly by Allegri: the favourite, as we have been telling you since the beginning of summer, is Morata, only that theAtletico Madrid, with whom Juve will play a friendly on Sunday evening, no longer wants to hear about loans and wants 25 million. There is an alternative Luis Muriel, but the bianconeri will still try to establish a dialogue with the Spaniards, thanks to the player's liking. In the end, Costic, another element loudly requested by the coach from Livorno. The Serbian would come running and Eintracht has already given its consent, but it is a pity that there is a rather large difference between the request (15) and the offer (7): here too we will try to limit the distances until the end, even if Allegri pushes to speed up the times. A helping hand could be Arthur, now promised to the Valencia, as confirmed by his agent Pastorello: Gattuso he wants it, we will see if the operation goes through in the next few days.
Milan treats Diallo from PSG, Inter greets Sanchez and meets Acerbi
Stalemate instead for the Milanese, who do not seem to be in a particular hurry to move on the market. Milan, after finishing the soap opera De Ketelaere, look for a central defender and the choice seems to have fallen on Diallo, also by virtue of the resistance of the Tottenham su Hands. The crux is always the same: PSG wants a permanent sale or, alternatively, a loan with an obligation to buy, the Rossoneri instead do not want to go beyond the right.
Maldini however he continues to look around, so much so that in Germany they tell of a video call with Evan N'Dicka of Eintrachtbut valued at no less than 20 million. Also Inter he moves with caution, giving priority to transfers or, as in the case of Sanchez, saving part of his salary. The Chilean still has one year on his 9 million gross contract, Marotta she will give him 7 and he will be free to marry at Marseille, where they await him with open arms.
The case will come with instead Pinamonti, disputed by Sassuolo e Atalanta: the price is 20 million, the figure to which the Salernitana by Iervolino, before the refusal of the attacker who prefers other squares. In entry, the priority is a defender who completes the department and here too Marotta works on several fronts. The favorite remains Milenkovic but Fiorentina does not intend to sell him off, there is an alternative Acerbi, at break with Lazio and very loyal to Inzaghi: his agent Pastorello talked about it face-to-face with the Nerazzurri top management, now we'll see if the deal goes through.
Roma mad with joy for Wunaldum, but Zaniolo can go to Tottenham
However, the gold medal of enthusiasm rightfully belongs to Rome, which after the coup Dybala she also gave herself Georgino Wijnaldum, thus making a very important purchase, moreover in advantageous ways. Mourinho he is silent, but in his heart he rejoices: Special One had asked for players of quality and international experience and the Friedkins satisfied him (let's not forget that Matic also arrived). The square is literally excited, as evidenced by the huge crowds that accompanied the new signings and even dreams of the Scudetto.
The transfer of could come to dampen the enthusiasm a bit Zaniolo, long in Juve's sights (which however, as we have seen before, seems to have other priorities) and now finished on the list of Tale, decided to take him to Tottenham. The Giallorossi, who would gladly keep him, are willing to sit around a table, aware that Nicolò's contract expires in two years, but the Spurs, at the moment, don't want to put 50 million cash on the plate, but some counterparts techniques. We will see what happens, but to date it is not (yet) the case to go overboard on Zaniolo's stay in the capital.
Napoli-Sassuolo, gray smoke for Raspadori: 10 million are dancing
Going further south we find a very different situation, with a square like Naples, usually very hot and rather inclined to dream big, depressed and angry with De Laurentiis, guilty of having let several players leave (Insigne, Koulibaly, Mertens e Ospina) without having replaced them with high-sounding names. The first two have been replaced with Georgian kvaratskhelia and Korean Kim, Spalletti but he needs more, especially in attack. Hence the idea of betting everything on Breakers, enough to put 30 million cash on the plate: a lot in a market like this, but not enough for Sassuolo, which after settling the score with Scamacca has no intention of making discounts for the young Italian striker, rated 40.
In the meantime, Mertens, author of a video greeting during the week that moved the blue people, seems ever closer to the Galatasaray, who came to offer him 4 million and thirty flights to return to Naples, where the Belgian will keep his house: yet another demonstration of a story that deserved a very different ending.
