Only one will remain. Juventus has decided to dissolve the Ronaldo-Dybala duo and the choice, at the moment, seems to fall mainly on the second one. The drafts of the Juventus house, in fact, tell of an Argentine who ended up on the sales counter, both for economic and technical reasons. By selling him, the Bianconeri would collect a figure of around 100 million, but above all they would put an end to the tug of war over the renewal of the contract, which has now been underway for several months. Dybala, perhaps poisoned last summer (Juve tried to sell him to both Manchester United and Tottenham), is asking for an engagement of 15 million, therefore double the current one: too many according to the Lady, determined to monetize her price tag to finance the new course led by Pirlo.
Who, in the summit with Paratici, has already indicated the name of the substitute: it is Paul Pogba, a former teammate during the Juventus four-year period, considered ideal for putting the midfield in order. In recent days there was also talk of Isco, another passion of the former director from Brescia, but at the moment the first choice is French, in turn unhappy in Manchester and eager to return to Juve. The hypothesis of an equal exchange with United is plausible, given that Dybala had already ended up in Solskjaer's sights a year ago and even Pogba's monster signing is not scary: the 15 million, in fact, would still be given to the Argentine to renew his contract.
The hypothesis of selling Ronaldo therefore seems to have been avoided, even if the words of his biographer ("Juve are offering him to half of Europe" he had declared to the BBC) still echo in the air. The truth is that the Portuguese's salary (30 million net per season) weighs heavily on Exor's coffers, but this, combined with his 35 years of age, makes him more difficult to place. Agnelli also has a lot of respect for him and would like to continue another year, to then sell it next summer. In short, a renewed Juve is looming above all in midfield, where in addition to Pogba Tonali continues to be liked. Here, however, Inter comes into play, determined not to let Brescia's talent escape.
The nerazzurri, at the moment, are ahead, one strong agreement with Cellino around 35 million: the blue-and-white president however, aware of the interest of Juve and Milan (the Rossoneri are also his admirers), is stalling, in the hope of unleashing an auction. It is unlikely that this will happen because Inter also have the player's approval in principle, but until the signings it is good not to take anything for granted, especially after Kulusevski's precedent. The other hot name on Marotta's notebook is that of Emerson Palmieri, indicated by Conte to reinforce the left wing: Chelsea are asking for 25 million, the Nerazzurri CEO, for now, does not go beyond 20.
They also like Ndombelé from Tottenham, so a negotiation could be entered into with Skriniar and Kumbulla from Verona, even if Lazio are also involved here. Finally, it is difficult to arrive at the Kanté dream, which has always been Conte's passion: Abramovich in this case would ask for a very high amount even just to start talking about it. On the other side of the Naviglio, however, contract renewals hold the court, coincidentally with the usual Mino Raiola. In particular, that of Ibrahimovic is still late, given that the parties, despite the mutual desire to continue together, are struggling to find an agreement. The Swede asked for 5 million net fixed base plus 1 bonus linked to performance, a figure that far exceeds the ceiling set by Gazidis.
The problem is that Raiola is also Donnarumma and Romagnoli's agent, the others that Milan would like to lock down: the balance is therefore delicate and does not allow for tears, otherwise you risk losing the jewels of the house. A very active market also in the Napoli home, where we are looking for the yes of Reguilòn, Real Madrid winger on loan to Sevilla. Giuntoli managed to make inroads in the player, but now we need to convince the Merengues, stuck on a request for 25 million that doesn't convince the Azzurri. Koulibaly's money might help, seeing as it's about him Guardiola's Manchester City is back, ready to offer more than 60 million.
Treasure that Napoli, in addition to the aforementioned Reguilòn, could invest in Under and Veretout, in a deal that would push Milik to Rome. In fact, the Giallorossi have entered into the order of ideas of selling Dzeko, whose salary is too heavy, and the Pole, who left Juve after Sarri's sacking, would be right up their alley. We are only at the beginning, but the market is already in full swing and promises surprises as in any self-respecting summer.
