Not even the time to bring down the curtain on the World Cup that the transfer market immediately unleashes, with a more sensational twist than the other. What triggered the domino effect in a summer already full of storms was a bolt from the blue: after the clearing at the end of the championship, when a tweet from Andrea Agnelli had in fact reassured the Juventus fans about Antonio Conte's permanence on the bench Juventus, the Apulian coach has second thoughts and says goodbye.
While for him, according to some, the doors of the national team could open wide (it will be decided in August), his resignation has opened up unthinkable scenarios: on the bench of the Italian champion team Massimiliano Allegri will now sit by surprise (two-year contract worth 2 million per season for him) and the long-awaited and now taken for granted market coup, that of Juan Manuel Iturbe, suddenly vanished. Perhaps Conte had sensed something in the air, but the fact is that a few hours after his press conference, the Verona striker signed with Roma: 28,5 million plus Romagnoli go to the Venetians, while Juve had stopped at 25+Sorensen.
However, the shock for Juve could not stop there: after Conte's farewell and the failure to buy Iturbe, the departure of Arturo Vidal now seems ever closer, for whom Manchester United, fresh from an agreement with Adidas for almost 100 million per season to invest in the market, he has put 44 million euros on the plate. They could have been used to get to Iturbe, but will there be a plan B?
