There was great expectation, as well as the hopes of the Inter fans, who were hoping to receive good news from Madrid, where the eagerly awaited match between Luka Modric and Florentino Perez was scheduled. The meeting took place, but according to what was leaked from the secret rooms of the Bernabeu, the Madrid president convinced the Croatian to stay. Both "As" and "Marca", newspapers very close to the things of the Casa Blanca, confirmed the successful outcome of the meeting, giving the news of the agreement for the renewal of the contract which will lead Modric to earn 10 million euros at the year.
Inter's hopes were also fueled by Real Madrid's choice not to include Modric among the five testimonials for their social network profiles, which had aroused some suspicion. The person concerned limited himself to a quick communication on Instagram: "Back to work". In the next few days we will understand if the negotiation has definitively vanished or if the Inter management has some other card in store to play to hit the sensational blow.
Meanwhile, it is almost done for Keita Balde. The former Lazio player was not called up by Monaco for the first league match against Nantes, a sign that the transfer to Inter is now one step away. With or without the consent of Candreva for an exchange of cards. In the worst-case scenario, in fact, Ausilio is ready to complete the operation with an onerous loan and the right to buy 30 million for next year.
An important moment also for Milan, which after having completely redesigned the top management of the company is preparing for the final sprint of the transfer market (the new captain, who will be Romagnoli, has also been made official). At Milanello, on the occasion of the presentation of Reina and Strinic, Leonardo took the opportunity to take stock of the Rossoneri market, starting with the strong interest in Bakayoko: "I don't deny that we are talking – admitted the new technical director -, but you know we have stakes and levies, and every new deal has to be measured in detail. However, it is a possibility, we are thinking about it ”.
On the other hand, he doesn't even think about selling Suso, despite the rumors of the last few days that have spoken of a strong interest from Roma and the hypothesis of selling him for a figure close to 40 million: "There weren't any offers - said Leonardo – we have to meet all the players individually, which is normal with the arrival of a new property. But we have never speculated on his departure, for us he is a very important player and he will stay here ”.
A week after the end of the market, something could still happen, both in terms of income and expenditure: “Milinkovic-Savic? Half of Europe wants it, but it is not feasible because it does not fall within our parameters. Berry? He knows about the situation, he has his own needs and he has made his decision (Milan want at least 15 million, Villarreal won't go beyond 10-12, ed). Locatelli we never thought of selling him, but there were some misunderstandings. I'll try to understand the moods, but you only stay here if you're happy".
Andrè Silva, who has not been called up for the friendly match against Real Madrid, is ready to undergo medical tests for Sevilla, where he should move on loan with a purchase option set at 35 million.
Sturaro's transfer to Sporting Lisbon is official: after the failed transition to the Premier League, the midfielder has landed in Portugal. For Juventus two million euros arriving for the payment of the annual loan.
Leonardo Bonucci was re-presented at Juve, again in black and white: “I returned to Juve because I missed my home, now I have grown on a human level and I return with new motivations. Here we win and our goal is to reach the final in Madrid next year. Cheerful? We clarified and solved everything with a hug. The boos of the fans? I understand them, but I will try to turn them into applause”.
Roma front: Monchi will try in the next few days to tighten up on N'Zonzi from Sevilla, but he must also think about some transfers in attack. On the possible list of starters El Shaarawy and Perotti, who in confirmation of a very precarious position has put his hands forward: "I won't finish my career in Rome, but before leaving I would like to raise a trophy".
