When there is no money, ideas are born. Football, without distinction of borders, wonders about what will happen once the emergency is over, when the Covid-19 has left room for the inevitable rubble. There will perhaps be a championship to finish, a new one to start, but what will certainly not be lacking will be the transfer market, which has actually already got underway. "For at least a year we can forget the 100-150 million shots" Pierpaolo Marino bitterly explained, and evidently he is to be believed. However, what Udinese's technical director did not say, even if he certainly thinks so, is that this lack of money will increase ingenuity and ability, perhaps ending up upsetting hierarchies that now seemed unassailable.
Waiting to know the dates and modalities (Fifa is even thinking of a maxi window until December 31st), we try to anticipate the moves of the big names, forced to deal with austerity and financial rigor as never before. Juventus has in mind a real technical revolution, with or without Sarri. If the Tuscan coach is confirmed (probable hypothesis, given the gross 24 million contract until 2022), Paratici will try to build him a team in his image and likeness, starting with the transfers. Higuain, Khedira, Matuidi, Bernardeschi and Pjanic are on the way, some for personal reasons, others for technical incompatibility, and it is clear that much of the Juventus incoming market, already enhanced by the purchase of Kulusevski, will pass from their sales.
Sarri has in mind a 4-3-3 that can exalt Ronaldo (the rumors about his farewell destination Paris, at the moment, are not confirmed), but above all a midfield director who gives much higher times and rhythms. The post-Pjanic dream, yes towards PSG, is certainly Jorginho but it is unlikely that Abramovich will decide to deprive himself of it for a "human" figure: easier to tack on Tonali, who has been on Paratici's list for some time. Cellino has always valued him at 40 million, but now things have changed and Juve are confident they will take him for no more than 30. Another hot name is that of Chiesa, whose time in Florence now seems to have faded, but the true passion of the Juventus ds , moreover never hidden, is certainly Mauro Icardi. The Argentine will once again be the protagonist of the market, whether the PSG redeems him or sends him back to sender.
In this case Inter would auction him off and Juve would hardly have a chance, but if Leonardo cut the check for 70 million, then interesting glimmers could open up. About Leo: Paqueta continues to like him a lot and Milan is toying with the idea of an exchange with Paredes, anything but central to Tuchel's plans. The operation could go through, unless the Parisians decide to turn the page and rely on Allegri: in that case, evidently, the strategies would be reviewed. In the meantime, Rangnick's doubts continue to emerge from Germany, who is far from convinced by Gazidis's proposal, especially in a phase like this in which, evidently, it is impossible to plan with certainty.
Elliot's trusted man remains convinced that the German would be the ideal man to entrust Milan to, in the meantime, however, contacts with Spalletti have resumed, already very close to October, before Inter's veto blew everything up. This time the nerazzurri would not oppose, also because the engagement of the coach from Certaldo weighs heavily and, these days, nothing is thrown away. Conte wants a defender in Godin's place and all the clues lead to Kumbulla from Verona, who has long been in Marotta's sights. In midfield instead, in addition to the usual suspects Tolisso and Castrovilli, keep an eye on the hypothesis Arthur, that Barça could include Lautaro in the operation. The dream of the Inter coach, however, always remains Vidal, even if the 33rd birthday on May 22nd arouses more than one perplexity in the Marotta-Ausilio couple.
In attack, however, everything revolves around Lautaro, even if its sale, due to the global economic crisis, is no longer so certain. In fact, Barcelona will hardly be able to pay the release clause, therefore either a satisfactory agreement is found or the Bull is destined to stay in Milan: otherwise, however, Inter would throw themselves at one between Aubameyang and Milik, with the Pole favorite. In fact, Napoli will let him leave and in his place, in addition to the already taken Petagna, Belotti could arrive, always a passion for Gattuso, whose confirmation is no longer under discussion. In short, there will be movements, and how if there will be, only that they will move less money. And this, perhaps, will not necessarily be a bad thing…
