MILAN - TEVEZ, GALLIANI ATTEMPTS THE LAST MINUTE STRIKE! THE ROSSONERO CEO BELIEVES IT: "UNTIL TUESDAY ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE...". EMERGENCY IN CENTRAL FIELD, MUNTARI OR RIGONI ARRIVAL.
It is difficult, but not impossible. Milan knows that convincing City to accept their terms is a difficult undertaking, especially less than 48 hours before the end of the market. Paradoxically, however, the Rossoneri's strength may just be time. Manchester City have never given the feeling of bluffing, but what could happen if the sheikhs realize the costs that Tevez's (unwilling) stay would have? It's clear that money isn't a problem in those parts, but nobody likes giving away millions, especially if there's the risk of ending up in court. In recent days, the Apache had threatened a lawsuit for bullying, only to tone down when the negotiations with Milan seemed to be in the pipeline. Willingness to peace or simple opportunism? In Manchester they are leaning towards the second hypothesis and are still hoping to find an agreement with Galliani, who for his part dreams of a finale from a thousand and one nights: "I'll be in the office from 9 to 19 on the last day of the transfer market - said the CEO AC Milan – I keep my cell phone on even at night. But I can't read the future…”. So the door is ajar, despite the considerable difficulties. In the meantime, Milan is grappling with yet another bad news from the infirmary: Merkel will have to be out for at least two months! And so, yet another injury in midfield forces the Rossoneri to look at the transfer market. The warmest idea is to anticipate the arrival of Muntari by 6 months, already blocked for June, but first we need to find an agreement with Inter. The alternative is a new name: Luca Rigoni, a 26-year-old Chievo matchmaker.
JUVENTUS – NAINGGOLAN, IT CAN CLOSE! MAROTTA VERY CLOSE TO THE BELGIAN MIDFIELD. TONI-AL NASSR, TODAY THE OFFICIAL.
We are almost there. The last hours of the market should allow Juventus to present their last shot, the purchase of Radja Nainggolan. Despite Cellino's public denials, seasoned among other things with tacky jokes ("We are limited, we can't leave anyone. And then Cossu told the boy that if he leaves he'll be like Schettino..."), the agreement between Juventus and Cagliari seems really close. The Sardinians value the Belgian at 15 million and agree to sell him on loan with an obligation to buy. An operation along the lines of Matri's, who exactly one year ago moved from Cagliari to Juve. The bianconeri have understood that Cellino is not interested only in money: the Sardinians need to worthily replace Nainggolan, otherwise they will be forced to postpone the deal until June. For this reason, Juve has said it is willing to loan Marrone, a young midfielder who enjoys great esteem from Conte. In addition to the baby talent, however, the bianconeri will try to help Cagliari take Parolo from Cesena. As? Giving him Kasami, already bought by Palermo (for June). In short, a real intrigue, which will make the last hours of the market particularly hot. No pathos instead as regards Luca Toni, who today will officially become a player of Al – Nassr, the Dubai team coached by Walter Zenga. The attacker will sign a contract until 2013.
THIAGO MOTTA STAYS, THE CASE IS CLOSED! RANIERI'S WILL THAT WOULD LIKE ANOTHER MIDFIELDER IS DECISIVE. BRANCA TREATS GUARIN AND CANDREVA, COUTINHO TO ESPANYOL.
Defeated on the field but successful on the transfer market. Claudio Ranieri can console himself after the fall in Lecce: Thiago Motta remains at Inter. There is a lack of alternatives and even the offer (8 million) is tantalizing but not completely convincing. At this point it is unlikely that PSG will raise, which in all likelihood will buy the Italian-Brazilian player in the summer. With the Thiago Motta puzzle solved, Inter could still give themselves a shot on the transfer market. Branca continues to work on Fredy Guarin, but at the moment there are no official offers to Porto. The Lusitanians are asking for 12 million, an important but not prohibitive figure. We'll see if there are any developments today, in any case Inter must hurry. But there is a new name that tickles Moratti's imagination: Antonio Candreva. The Cesena midfielder costs less and, compared to Guarin, he is more flexible (he can play both inside and outside). Campedelli wouldn't want to deprive himself of it, but could soften up with the loan of Luc Castaignos, who rejected Pozzo's Granada in recent days. The one who will soon move to Spain is Philippe Coutinho, who should now become an Espanyol player. The Brazilian attacking midfielder will go away on loan to gain experience and play a few games. On the other hand, even in the light of these transfers, it is unlikely that Mauro Zarate will leave, the "prisoner" of a very high salary.
