It's always transfer market time. Not even the time to get used to the new championship that there is already a break and so, as usual in these cases, we go back to talking about the topic that, more than anyone else, fascinates fans and insiders. Of course, the winter reopening is still a good three months away but the negotiations, as we know, are born well before the official windows. Furthermore, the January 2019 session promises to be as interesting as ever. There are two reasons: the first is that all new signings will be able to play in the Champions League even if they have already started it elsewhere, the second is that there are never more players out of contract than ever before. We are not talking about "old bullshit" but about players in the prime of their careers who, for one reason or another, have not yet renewed their contract with the club to which they belong and who therefore, according to the rules of the market, will be able to move elsewhere for free in a few months. It is therefore easy for several clubs to accept paltry figures in January (so to speak, of course) to avoid losing them to zero, with consequent jolts in all the main championships, Serie A included.
Reading the list of those expiring in 2019, a respectable formation emerges. Let's try to imagine it with a nice 3-4-3: De Gea in goal, Alderweireld, Godin and Vertonghen in defence, Ramsey, Khedira, Rabiot and Brahimi in midfield, Di Maria, Balotelli and Martial in attack. A lot of stuff also on the bench: David Luiz, Evra, Fabregas, Dembelé, Herrera, Correa and Giroud. In short, big names capable of shifting the balance both nationally and in Europe. Some will renew the contract, there is no doubt about this, but the big names will still be able to make various attempts to entice the most coveted preys. But under the radar, other operations are also being worked on, regardless of the duration of the contracts. The biggest, once again, could concern Juventus, determined to bring home that Pogba sold for his weight in gold in thesummer 2016. An important attempt has already been made in the summer but Mourinho's veto prevailed, but now things have changed and the deal is anything but impossible. Also because Manchester United has set its sights on Dybala, other than that, from non-transferable, it has become a valuable commodity. Power of the market, the only "game" capable of making people talk always and in any case, in defiance of any date. Because dreams, as we know, make the imagination fly and for that there is no logic that holds.
