No time is wasted. Summer, at least formally, has yet to begin, but the Inter, Milan and Juve transfer markets are already giving away fireworks, both incoming and outgoing. The reason must first be sought in the dates of the new Serie A, leaving earlier than usual (August 13) due to the November/December World Cup (in which we will not participate, but that's another story), which induce the big names to move immediately, without waiting for the last one in August .
Inter, Milan and Juve promise sparks
The gold medal of the week belongs to Inter, increasingly determined to treat themselves to a dream attack which, in addition to Lautaro Martinez, also includes Dybala and Lukaku. “We are working to set up a competitive team like Inter should be – he confirmed Marotta -. Ausilio and I want to do it by June to allow Inzaghi to work with the best possible squad, always respecting the concept of sustainability ".
Inter dreams of Dybala-Lukaku, but Skriniar and Dumfries can leave
Words from the Nerazzurri CEO that are anything but casual, because if it's true that Dybala is now to be considered a new purchase (three-year period of 6 million per season plus bonuses, announcement expected by June 20), it is also that someone will have to leave. The number one suspect, after Bastoni and Lautaro excluded themselves from the list (at least according to their agents), is Skriniar, for whom she arrived an offer of 50 million from PSG. Not many for Inter, who value the Slovak at no less than 70, but enough to open a negotiation: it is no coincidence that the Nerazzurri have already probed Milenkovic from Fiorentina, considered the ideal replacement.
The other two elements useful in raising cash should be Pinamonti (Monza wants him, also interested in Sensi) e Dumfries, requested by Chelsea in the Lukaku deal. Yes, because the dream attack would not be limited to the only ones Lautaro and Dybala, but also and above all to the return of the prodigal son Romelu, determined to halve his salary in order to leave London. Where did it arrive? Piero Ausilio, expected from a working weekend to talk to the Blues and set up a complicated but not impossible operation. Chelsea can't give away the Belgian, paid a good 115 million just a year ago, Inter have no intention of pulling out all that money, also because they don't have it: the inclusion of Dumfries, therefore, can bring the parties closer together. it being understood that the dirty work will be Lukaku's turn.
In the meantime, Marotta is also moving in the midfield, where Mkhitaryan could also arrive after Asllani from Empoli, considered ideal as Brozovic's deputy (15 million Corsi's valuation, 10 plus Esposito or Satriano for the Nerazzurri proposal). In short, Inter are unleashed, and what are the others doing?
Milan want the Belgian couple De Ketelaere-Lang, meanwhile they are negotiating the renewals of the big names
Milan continues the parallel work between new signings and contract renewals, in an attempt to lock down the current squad (apart from Kessié, obviously) and strengthen it. And so Maldini and Massara, also expiring (but with a verbal agreement with Cardinale), are talking to Leao, Tomori, Kalulu and Tonali, all in the odor of wage adjustment, without losing sight of the various objectives on the market. Zaniolo seems to have finished in the background compared to De Ketelaere and Lang, young Belgians from Bruges who have been paying attention for some time, but the games are obviously still open. On the other hand, getting to Botman is more difficult, especially after the agreement between Lille and Newcastle: the player would prefer Milan, but the English offer is unattainable. Here because Maldini returned to probe Bremer and Milenkovic, even if it is not yet the case to talk about a derby with Inter; let's say that, for now, it's a matter of a few more or less in-depth phone calls...
Juve, decisive hours for Di Maria. Morata returns to Atletico, the focus is on Simeone
Hectic days even at Juventus, where he works for close Di Maria's speech, still blocked by contractual issues. The story is known: the Argentine would like to sign a one-year contract and then end his career in his home country, the Bianconeri offer a two-year contract, which is essential for taking advantage of the Growth Decree. The agreement could be found halfway, therefore with a 13-month contract that would satisfy both parties, but it is clear that the answer will have to arrive in a relatively short time.
However, the Lady's market does not thrive on luxury zero parameters alone (in addition to Di Maria, of course, there is also Pogba), because Allegri also needs a deputy for Chiesa (in the front row is Kostic from Eintracht, with whom there is already a principle of agreement on the basis of a three-year contract worth 2,5 million plus bonuses), a deputy Vlahovic (Morata will return to Atletico to then most likely end up at Arsenal) and a reinforcement in defense. For the attack, in addition to the usual Arnautovic (yesterday, however, his brother branded Juventus' interest as "fake news"), the name of Giovanni Simeone popped up, author of an excellent season in Verona but owned by Cagliari, appreciated by both Allegri and the club. The De Ligt and Cuadrado issues should also be monitored, both in negotiation to renew: the first made statements in the national team that they did not like, the second turns up his nose at the proposal to spread the salary of Arrivabene.
Not just Inter, Milan and Juve: Roma welcomes Matic, Napoli locks down Koulibaly
The fireworks, of course, don't just concern Inter Milan and Juve, but also those who aspire to become one. This is the case of Rome, which after Matic (medical visits between Monday and Tuesday) he also wants to treat himself Fraternity, long been in Mourinho's notebook. Obviously, a lot depends on the future of Zaniolo, whose possible departure would finance the incoming market, so much so that some hypothesize an interest also for Berardi, which could end up in a maxi negotiation between the Giallorossi and Sassuolo (who in the meantime are working on the sale of Scamacca to PSG).
Napoli, on the other hand, is not making headlines for high-sounding names, but yesterday Radio Kiss Kiss, the club's official organ, let it be known that Koulibaly will remain 100%even when the contract expires. Final decision or coded message to the prosecutor? We will know soon, as this market is definitely in a hurry.
