Alvaro Morata and Juan Manuel Iturbe are from Juventus. There is no official announcement yet (it should arrive today or at the latest tomorrow for both) but the deals are practically concluded. Now it's just a question of waiting for medical examinations and signatures, after which Antonio Conte will be able to welcome the two new Juventus signings into retirement.
“After the holidays, tomorrow (today, ed) we start again for a new challenge – tweeted the Argentine from Verona -. Let's hope it's like I've always wanted." Juventus is never named but the reference is as clear as daylight. Morata, on the other hand, has not yet exposed himself personally but it doesn't matter: Fernando Llorente thought about it for him, in theory the most penalized by the arrival of his young compatriot. "He's born in 1992 but has already shown great things in Madrid" explained the Lion King, effectively welcoming the attacker.
In short, the new Juve is taking more and more shape, now all that remains is to complete the squad with the latest additions (Pereyra from Udinese is always liked, Inter is also about him) and, above all, with transfers. The first to leave should be Quagliarella, not called up by Conte to retire given the requests from Verona and Turin. The Venetians could take advantage of a preferential lane derived from the Iturbe affair, while the grenades rely on the Europa League, which would guarantee the attacker a more intriguing stage. Marotta asks for 4 million, Verona and Toro offer 2: it's a deal to the bitter end.
Then with Setti's club there is always a discussion relating to Romulo, on which, however, there is also Milan. Apart from that relating to Vidal: Juve wouldn't want to deprive themselves of him but if the big offer were to come from Manchester (United side)… “Who wouldn't like to play in a club like this? – Winked the Chilean. – I have heard many voices, as soon as I return to Italy we will talk about it”. In short, the question is far from closed, if anything only postponed.
Hot hours also at Inter, where the Medel deal is holding the court. The Chilean from Cardiff is the number one target for the midfield, already strengthened by the purchase of M'Vila, but we must pay attention to the competition from Marseille. The Welsh want 9 million, Ausilio, for now, offers 7 but in the meantime he is negotiating with the agent. The interest for Pereyra and Balanta is still alive: on the Argentine there is competition from Juve to win (10 million plus two young players to choose from the proposal of the Italian champions), perhaps by including Ruben Botta in the negotiation, who is rather appreciated by Stramaccioni, while for River's Colombian defender the obstacle is called Naples.
And then there is always the problem relating to non-EU citizens: the first "box" of the two available should be occupied by Medel, the second could be vacated pending a last-minute coup (Jovetic?).
"National" maneuvers instead for Milan, who seem to have identified Criscito as the number one target for defence. All favored by Zenit's interest in Abate, which could lead to an equal exchange between the two players. The operation is not very simple (the AC Milan player's contract expires in 2015, which decreases his market value) but the clubs are working on it. The interest in Romulo from Verona is still alive: "I'll talk to Sogliano and we'll see what to do" glossed over Firmino, the Italian-Brazilian agent. On the other hand, there is no news on the Cerci front: the Toro winger is very popular, but the negotiation is far from being concluded.
