Milan, if you're there hit a beat. The transfer market is only a few days away (it closes on 1 September at 23pm) and the Rossoneri are continuing their hunt for the promised reinforcements. To the fans but above all to Inzaghi, who is anxiously awaiting a centre-forward, a midfielder and, perhaps, a winger. However, the news is certainly not exciting because Galliani, thanks to the austerity imposed by the Berlusconi family, is having a hard time closing the long-awaited operations. The purse, however subject to sudden upheavals, now sees Fernando Torres as the main, if not the only, objective. Falcao's dream faded (too high salary) and the more affordable Eto'o (not wanted by Berlusconi), Soldado (Tottenham asked De Sciglio in exchange), Borini (Liverpool's requests were too high) and Mitroglu (not convincing temperamentally), in fact he remains the only true striker available on the market. Here too, however, no white smoke, despite Chelsea's willingness to loan him out for free, just as Galliani asked. In fact, El Nino, in addition to turning up his nose in the face of such a form of transfer, does not want to reduce the maxi salary of 7 million net per season which, given the offer from Milan (3), is no small problem. "Perhaps I'm the only Inter fan who loves you" Mourinho would have written to Galliani in a text message but this affection, for now, isn't enough. Even the young Van Ginkel, a 21-year-old Dutch midfielder, does not want to accept the loan transfer and therefore Milan remain at stake. That's why in Via Aldo Rossi they are ready for plan B. That is, no center forward other than Pazzini (Menez would play the so-called "false nueve" if necessary) and full speed ahead on an outside forward. Lestienne and Biabiany are always in the front row (Inter are also on him) but watch out for Cerci: the grenade is contested by Atletico Madrid and Arsenal but the Rossoneri always like him. And for the midfield, the candidacy of Dzemaili cannot be ruled out, another who has been winking at the Devil for some time.
Milan monopolizes the last days of the transfer market but the other big names are also quite active. Juventus want to give Massimiliano Allegri a striker. It will be difficult to arrive already for Saturday, when the Italian champions will make their debut in the league against Chievo in full emergency (Llorente has a fever and Morata is still in the pits), but yes by Monday. The hot name is always that of Hernandez, out of Manchester United. Which however, thanks to the winks of the prosecutor Felicevich, Vidal continues to ask, finding a barred door. This does not facilitate relations between the two clubs and the operation, at least for now, is stalled. The one who certainly won't play in the black and white shirt is Kostantinos Manolas, who officially showed up for Roma yesterday. "I have rejected offers from big clubs, including Juventus" he explained in a press conference that marked the change of guard in defense after the sale of Benatia to Bayern Munich ("I'm here because Guardiola wanted me at all costs" the first words of Moroccan in Bavaria).
Last days of the transfer market also for Inter. Here, more than on purchases, we focus on sales, especially those of Alvarez and Guarin. The Argentine was sold yesterday evening to Sunderland with the formula of an expensive loan (1 million) with the right to buy (11), the Colombian is on the starting foot and the arrival in Milan of his agent Marcelo Ferreyra proves it. Zenit St. Petersburg is still on pole but the solution doesn't particularly warm up the player, despite the presence on the bench of Villas Boas, the coach who has been able to make the most of him so far. In reality Guarin is still hoping for the inclusion of Manchester United and Juve but in the end, if the two big names in question continue to be on the run, he should say yes to the Russian courtship. With the money from the two transfers, the nerazzurri could then make one last gift to Mazzarri: in the coach's dreams it is Lavezzi but, as previously mentioned, it is much easier to get to Biabiany.
