The Inter market is finally moving, with the Nerazzurri management very close to giving another reinforcement to Walter Mazzarri: Taider, in fact, is one step away from changing shirts, after an intense day of telephone contacts between the two managements. 5,5 million euros will go to the rossoblù club for half of the French-Algerian midfielder plus Diego Laxalt's loan with the right to buy, after the names of Khrin and Mbaye were also mentioned in the deal (who instead will go to Livorno , together with Duncan, while Longo, last year at Espanyol, moved to Verona) unwelcome counterparts to Bologna. After the usual medical examinations, the signature and the official statement will arrive.
The next few days could also bring big news on the Thohir front, with the legal offices of the two parties fully operational again after a few days of vacation. The Indonesian tycoon plans to return to Italy, but not before the beginning of September, by which time things could be done. Both Moratti's and Thohir's lawyers are finalizing the final details, for an operation that will eventually hand over 70-75% of Inter to the new owner, and with Moratti who, at least initially, will remain in the Nerazzurri orbit.
The now completed recovery of Simone Pepe is convincing Conte to give the green light for the sale of Mauricio Isla, in the context of a rather complex operation. Half of the Chilean player belonging to Udinese will be redeemed by Juventus with the co-ownership sale of Marrone, to then be sold to the Nerazzurri for between 6,5 and 6,9 million euros. The next 48 hours are decisive, when the negotiation will be finalized.
Once the Nerazzurri check has been cashed for just under 7 million euros, Juve will come back to knock on Napoli's door for Zuniga, who still hasn't renewed his contract expiring in 2014. Money that certainly won't be enough. considering that De Laurentiis could also ask for double.
Milan (who loaned Kingsley Boateng to Catania with the right to buy) are in the Netherlands for the first leg of the Champions League playoff against Psv Eindhoven. Fundamental match, also because any access to the group stage would guarantee the AC Milan coffers the money needed for the long-awaited transfer market, which Massimiliano Allegri also spoke about: “Gift from Galliani only in December? Maybe I'll write a letter to Santa Claus. Let's see, now there are many of us”. The coach (who dismissed the renewal argument at the press conference by saying "I don't want to talk about my contract until May 18, 2014: it's never been my problem and I've never asked my club to extend it") hopes that one of Ljajic and Honda arrive by 2 September, the closing date of the summer market, even if none other than Adriano Galliani thought of cooling his hopes: "We have an ultra-competitive team, we have done the operations that needed to be done - said the managing director before leaving for Holland – and in any case there is no news on Honda and it has not been proposed to us by PSG Sakho. PSV? It's a noble team, in its history it has had Ronaldo, Romario and Van Nistelrooy, but I see Milan clearly. It's one of the most important playoffs but we don't push things beyond measure”.
At Roma the words of the now ex Osvaldo will cause much discussion, who on the day of his presentation in Southampton said: “I couldn't wait to escape from Rome, I couldn't take it anymore. I left because I couldn't stand the environment I was living in anymore. In Rome, some of the fans treated me very badly and I don't understand why it happened like this. I gave everything to the Roma shirt, and I was badly reciprocated by some of the fans. They had targeted me, everything was my fault."
Meanwhile, the Giallorossi sporting director, Walter Sabatini, is on the hunt for an attacker to re-establish the technical and numerical balance. The ideal would be a compact player, waiting for the full recovery of Mattia Destro. The names that have emerged in the last few hours, however, do not seem to follow this line, since Alberto Gilardino seems to be in pole position, for whom Roma are still hoping for a swap with Genoa for Borriello, but Matri could also emerge. pursued for some time by Napoli who have already presented an offer of 12 million to Juve and are still awaiting an answer from the player.
The negotiation for the passage of Astori from Cagliari to Naples is complicated. Indeed, Cellino has raised the bar, asking for 15 million euros for the defender, while Napoli had presented an offer of 12 million in recent days.
