This time it really seems like the right time. One of the hits of the summer is coming to an end, with the Swiss Shaqiri ready to move to Stoke City. The Swiss full-back has already carried out the medical tests which will be followed by the signing of the contract. However, in the last few hours Shaqiri has been at the center of a real case: spotted in the stands on Sunday afternoon to watch Stoke-Liverpool for what seemed to be the prelude to the transfer, within a few hours the rumor from England bounced according to which Newcastle would have made a sensational overtaking, complete with a visit to St. James' Park. Shaqiri he then preferred to keep the commitment made with Stoke thus closing the deal. 17 million euros will go to Inter.
Among the other nerazzurri Guarin is also on the starting list, who however refused the transfer to Al Ittihad: “The only real offer came to us from Arabia – explained Marcelo Ferreyra, the Colombian's agent – but Fredy decided to refuse. Everything else around Guarin is calm, no one else has asked for it".
Inter also continues on the incoming market front, with Perisic closer to this point after the completion of the Shaqiri affair. In the next few hours, Ausilio will return to office, being able to count on fresh money and on the agreement already found with the player to close an operation that has been going on for weeks now. Mancini also keeps an eye on the situation at Lazio, especially as regards Keita, disappointed and angry after the exclusion in the Super cup. To try to keep him in the blue and white Pioli has included him in the UEFA list in view of the Champions playoff against Bayer Leverkusen, as well as Biglia. The new Lazio captain wants to leave, but the offer presented by Manchester United (25 million) is deemed insufficient by president Lotito, who would like him to sign a contract extension until 2020.
Il Milan he enjoys the latest market hit, that of Alessio Romagnoli. The courtship, which began over a month ago, led to the passage of the 20-year-old central defender to the court of Mihajlovic, who had indicated him as the first choice for defence. In the next few days Galliani will think about the midfield. The strong name remains that of witsel, but Zenit are asking for 35 million (Silvio Berlusconi has so far spent 83: 25 for Romagnoli, 20 for Bertolacci, 30 for Bacca and 8 for Luiz Adriano). The alternative is Soriano of Sampdoria, another player coached by Sinisa Mihajlovic last season. To carefully evaluate what will happen in Paris on the front Ibrahimovic: a new meeting between the player, his agent Raiola and the club management is expected in the next few days. Milan remain at the window knowing full well, as Galliani reiterated, that "if the player leaves PSG, Milan is in pole position".
With the arrival of Alessio Romagnoli at the Rossoneri, Paletta and Alex could soon say goodbye to Milan. Atalanta and Bologna like the former, while the Brazilian is in the sights of Santos and Olympiacos.
Roma, at this point, must replace the departure of Romagnoli (and most likely that of Yanga Mbiwa, one step away from Lyon for 10 million euros), and he is exploring various ways to do so. On the one hand, Sabatini has already asked Inter for information about Ranocchia (valued at 12 million), but among the various profiles followed in these hours there are also those of Ezequiel Garay of Zenit St. Petersburg and the Belgian Thomas Vermaelen, returning from a difficult season at Barcelona. All done, however, for the arrival of Lucas Digne from Paris Saint Germain. The formula is that of the onerous loan with the right of redemption. Doumbia's farewell is official, returning to CSKA Moscow 8 months after his arrival in Rome. Doumbia will go on loan to CSKA until the end of 2015 and then there are two options: either the transfer, which has already begun, to Beijing outright, or the possible extension of the loan to the Russians.
After the victorious Chinese away match for the Italian Super Cup, Marotta and Paratici have already got back to work to complete the squad. The purchase of will be finalized first Guilherme Magdalena Siqueira. The agreement with Atletico Madrid already exists: one million immediately, another eight for the obligatory redemption. The 29-year-old Brazilian left winger has given his availability for a transfer to Juventus, where he will sign a three-year deal worth 2,2 million plus bonuses per season. The next few days will be fundamental for the assault on the midfielder-playing midfielder so desired by Allegri. The roads at the moment lead to Germany: a new contact with Schalke 04 for Draxler (Marotta will re-propose the offer of 15 million fixed plus 9 bonus), but Marotta awaits fresh news from the front Gods, taking advantage of the tension between the player and Guardiola (but not wanting to exceed the 25 million mark). The last idea is that of Gundogan (24 years old), which however Borussia Dortmund values at no less than 20 million.
