And now unleash hell. After the step of co-ownership (in which, as expected, very little money is made), it's time for our big names to get serious. The common denominator is the same for everyone: first sell, then buy. With these premises, making the market is difficult, catching the top players is almost impossible. However, our managers will try, above all Giuseppe Marotta, practically obliged to give Conte at least one great striker. And given the complications for Gonzalo Higuain (Arsenal offered him 7,5 million a season, as well as 25 to Real Madrid) the Juventus general manager has veered strongly on Carlos Tevez. For the Apache it was a two-way race with Milan, but this is well known. If anything, the novelty lies in Marotta's next move, ready to leave for Manchester to get City's yes. This is the great mission of the week that is about to begin, to find an agreement with the English (perhaps also including Kolarov) and then close with the player as well. Who promised to Milan, but the contracts are known to be valid only if signed. Juve rejoiced, aware of having the advantage – time, but also of not being able to fail the operation for any reason. Spotlight on Tevez, soft lights on Jovetic. But this does not mean that there is no work in progress, on the contrary… The Montenegrin prosecutor saw Paratici in Milan on Friday. After the "shooting" of a few weeks ago, it's time to tone it down, to make a complicated but not impossible dream come true.
It's hectic hours in Turin, but even in Milan you don't mess around. Adriano Galliani looks back with nostalgia to the years that were, when, on Berlusconi's mandate, he defeated the market with the force of money. Today things have changed and Milan, if they want to buy, must first sell. Robinho, Boateng, El Shaarawy: despite the CEO's denials, these are the names on the "exit" list. However, offers must arrive at the height, otherwise the game may not be worth the candle. Let's explain better: selling for little is no use, because then the revenues would not be sufficient to buy. And then the stalemate that crosses Via Turati becomes at least understandable. Galliani hopes to unblock soon the sale of Robinho to Santos, as well as to receive an offer (at least one!) for Boateng. The situation of the Pharaoh is different, who would only leave in the event of an indecent proposal, which to tell the truth never arrived. In that case, the Rossoneri could reinvest the amount to reinforce all departments, from defense (by the way, Galliani will talk to Cellino for Astori over the weekend) to midfield (Poli, but not only), up to attack (Tevez).
It is above all the advanced department that excites the fans, and even those of Inter make no difference. Inter Milan has been daydreaming for a few days with Ishak Belfodil, already nicknamed (with Massimo Moratti's blessing) the new Benzema. A risky comparison, without disregarding the certain value of the boy. However, he cannot reach Inter until Cassano and Silvestre say yes to the ducals. And if the Pibe de Bari seems close to marriage (convict a phone call with Donadoni), so it is not for the Argentine, more attracted by the Lanterna di Genova than by the Cathedral of Parma. We'll see what happens, in the meantime Branca took precautions with Pinilla from Cagliari, another of Mazzarri's passions.
An important week also in Naples, which is anxiously waiting to know the future of Edinson Cavani. "I often talk to him, I hope to see him here" said Rafa Benitez, officially presented on Friday. “With Cavani there is an excellent relationship as before, the newspaper and TV headlines don't express his true words – echoed Aurelio De Laurentiis. – Naples is a cradle for him: he feels serenity and expresses his full potential. Of course, if he believes he has already expressed them we will talk about it ”. Maybe, but the Matador's continuous appreciation for Real Madrid hasn't gone unnoticed, so much so that banners against him have even appeared in Naples. Speaking of the blancos, Carlo Ancelotti is finally ready to sit on their bench. Laurent Blanc was decisive who, by accepting the PSG's annual contract (Wenger will arrive from 2014), effectively unlocked his future.
