English bookmakers bet on Tevez at Inter if Sneijder goes away

JUVE, ATLETICO MADRID IS ALSO ON ROSSI.
VUCINIC HOT TRACK, BUT BEWARE OF THE FOREIGN BIG.
STORARI, NO PSG

No news on the Giuseppe Rossi front. And this cannot be read as a positive message towards the negotiation. In fact, yesterday there was supposed to be a meeting between Federico Pastorello, the player's agent, and the Villarreal managers. But the match didn't take place, also because Atletico Madrid are also interested in the player. The Colchoneros, who are about to sell Aguero to Manchester City, would have offered Villarreal 30 million. This explains, therefore, the upward game of the Yellow Submarine. Marotta for his part is waiting, but Juve's position is clear: the offer of 20 million plus bonuses will not be raised. Furthermore, the Juventus CEO is well aware that Pepito will not accept Atletico's proposal, a team that is more or less worth Villarreal.
Given the complications for Rossi, Juventus are increasingly focused on Mirko Vucinic. The Montenegrin has long been a separate player at home with Roma, which is why he wouldn't think twice about moving to Juventus. But the Giallorossi would like to monetize his sale well (20 million), or replace him with a respectable technical counterpart. "The only Juve player I'm interested in is Marchisio," said Walter Sabatini on Sunday, launching a provocation which, on balance, could also be an idea. But Juve at the moment does not seem interested in the Marchisio – Vucinic exchange, given that, at the moment, there are other players made redundant. Furthermore, the deal could get complicated, because on the Montenegrin there would be the interest of a large foreign club (still unidentified), which could present the classic indecent proposal to Sabatini. In the meantime, on the transfer front, Marco Storari's move to Paris Saint Germain has been canceled. The deputy – Buffon will not go to France, given that the negotiation between the two companies, which has just begun, has already ended (badly). Marotta has asked for 5 million, Leonardo does not intend to offer even half. Alexander Manninger, Sampdoria's number one goal, should pack his bags.

ROME, IT'S MADE FOR STEKELENBURG!
MENEZ TO PSG, HERE'S THE OFFICIAL.
DIBENEDETTO – UNICREDIT, WORK IN PROGRESS.

For one who leaves, there is one who arrives. Menez was officially sold to PSG for 8 million (yesterday the Frenchman signed a three-year contract), Sabatini bought Marteen Stekelenburg. Ajax will receive 6 million plus bonuses (for a total of 8), while the player will sign a four-year contract for 1,5 million per season. That the negotiation was one step away from conclusion, it was already clear from the declarations of Frank De Boer, coach of Ajax: "There is a very big possibility that Stekelenburg will go away – he told a Dutch site – and I hope that the operation closes as soon as possible, so that a replacement can be found”. Now that the deal is closed, Stekelenburg will soon join his teammates to start working with Luis Enrique. Meanwhile, Julio Sergio is ready to move to Lecce (loan). The Brazilian, also contacted by PSG, therefore kept his word given a few weeks ago to Semeraro, patron of the Apulians.
But the news does not only concern the transfer market. Thomas DiBenedetto and Unicredit continue to work to close the sale of Roma. The closing, scheduled for July 29, risks being postponed, because the Americans, once they see the company's accounts (in their opinion worse than expected), would like a 10 million discount on the purchase price. Mark Pannes and Sean Barror of James Pallotta's Raptor Evolution Fund landed in the capital yesterday to find an agreement with Unicredit's top management.

KAKA' AT MILAN? DIFFICULT, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE…
FROM SPAIN THEY "PUSH" FABREGAS TOWARDS BARÇA.
GALLIANI DENIES, BUT MONTOLIVO COMES CLOSE.

The echo of Gattuso's phrases (“I wish Mister X was Kakà”) continues to echo in the ears of the Milan fans. The return of the Brazilian is certainly a suggestive hypothesis, even if the person concerned was rather chilly ("I want to demonstrate my value in Real"). According to some, however, Kaka's remarks are only circumstantial. Ricardo couldn't wait to leave Madrid (where he has so far spent more time in the infirmary than on the pitch) to return to Milan on the AC Milan side. The operation is difficult (Kakà cost the Spaniards 67 million euros), but not impossible. Florentino Perez is well aware that Mourinho, who has now become "Manager Deportivo", no longer focuses on the Brazilian. Therefore, keeping an element like Kakà (with a salary of 10 million per season) in the squad could be counterproductive. That's why Real could also accept the only possible offer from Milan (at the moment not yet received), ie a free loan, with the right to buy fixed at 20 – 25 million. But, for The Return to take place, a (big) step back also by Kakà is needed. In fact, the Brazilian's salary is too high, which is why Milan would ask him to cut him by at least 40%.
From one dream to another, we pass to Cesc Fabregas. The real Mister X could be him, even if, from Spain, the newspapers insist on associating him with Barcelona. According to "Marca", the Blaugrana have raised the offer to 36 million, against the 40 requested by Arsenal. Therefore, an understanding is close, but not yet reached. That's why Milan shouldn't be considered out of the game.
Situation similar to that of Riccardo Montolivo, who despite Galliani's denials ("We have never dealt with him"), is ever closer to becoming a Rossoneri. The purchase of Aquilani by Fiorentina (not yet official, but practically done), frees the midfielder, who, among other things, has refused to renew his contract (expiring in 2012). Milan wait to sink the blow, because, despite the price made by the Viola is anything but prohibitive (10 million), Galliani would like a nice discount (5 – 6).

TEVEZ – INTER, FOR THE ENGLISH IT'S DONE!
PREZIOSI INSISTS: "PALACIO AWAY ONLY FOR PANDEV".
MUNTARI SAYS NO TO GALATASARAY.

The English are sure, Carlos Tevez will go to Inter. As evidence of this, just look at the bookmakers' odds, often a real mirror for the negotiations across the Channel. Up until a week ago, the English betting agencies gave Tevez's move to Inter as 10. Today, after the meeting between the Argentine and Branca (which is absolutely accidental), the odds have dropped to just 1,20. A vertical collapse, which could mean something. But, at the moment, there can't even be talk of negotiation, given that the sine qua non is the sale of Sneijder. At the moment, however, apart from Malaga, the offers for the Dutchman are on the run, even if this absolutely does not mean that they cannot arrive by August 31st.
Meanwhile, Enrico Preziosi confirmed what we wrote yesterday: “We were talking about Viviano, the agreement had practically already been reached. But then, unfortunately, he got hurt” (now Genoa will take one between Frey and Sirigu). And so, Inter will not be able to make money with its goalkeeper (who will be out for at least 6 months), and, moreover, will have to recreate the foundations to bring Rodrigo Palacio to Milan. Preziosi was very clear: "Without a technical counterpart I won't sell the Argentine to Inter." And the player in question can only be that Goran Pandev already asked by Genoa in the past. But the Macedonian has no intention of leaving Inter, which is why the negotiation has become very complicated.
However, Sulley Muntari's move to Galatasaray was cancelled. The Turks, on the occasion of Sunday's friendly, offered Inter an offer of 5 million. The nerazzurri have asked for 8, in any case the negotiations were interrupted by Muntari himself, who vetoed a transfer to Turkey.

LOTITO – PJANIC, CONTACT!
PRECIOUS WANTS FLOCCARI.
NAPOLI THINKS OF IAQUINTA, BUT OFFERS FLORO FLORES.

He has already bought a lot, but Claudio Lotito has no intention of stopping there. In fact, the president of Lazio would like to give Reja a quality midfielder. The name is that of Miralem Pjanic, a talented Lyon player. The Bosnian has not yet renewed his contract with the French club (expiring in 2013), which is why the president Aulas would like to sell him this summer. The Lyon number one values ​​Pjanic as much as 12 million, but given the club's financial problems, he could lower the price and open a deal. The novelty is that Lotito would have contacted the father of the player, to understand the possible willingness to move to Rome. The answer would have been encouraging.
Lazio who, however, also wants to sell. The first name on the market is that of Sergio Floccari. On him, there are three teams: Cagliari, Fiorentina and Genoa. The favorite club seems to be the Ligurian one, as confirmed yesterday by Enrico Preziosi himself: “I like Floccari a lot – he told Sky Sport 24 – and I don't exclude that he could arrive”.
Despite the denials, Napoli are also looking for a striker. The new idea concerns Vincenzo Iaquinta, who could arrive on loan, with the Neapolitans who, however, would pay for the salary of the Juventus striker (even if Andrea D'Amico, his agent, has denied everything). But the hottest name could be that of Antonio Floro Flores. The attacker, last year on loan to Genoa and now back to Udinese, would rush under Vesuvius, as confirmed yesterday by Paolo Palermo, his agent: "I'll meet Bigon in a few days, an interest from Napoli would automatically exclude all other teams". Meanwhile, the Azzurri have officially sold Josè Sosa to Metalist Kharkiv (the player has signed a four-year contract).
