Milan lands the last shot, Juventus remains at the post. The last day of the transfer market didn't offer any particular surprises, if not in the negative: the inaction of the black and whites, in fact, clashes with the ambition of winning the championship again after last season's fourth place. Instead, the Rossoneri attacking midfielder in the figure of Junior messias, taken with a blitz in the night between Monday and Tuesday after the definitive refusal of Brest on Faivre, first choice of the Maldini-Massara couple.
However, the no from the French induced via Aldo Rossi to turn to the Brazilian, who has already been in the notebook for some time in the technical area, who arrives from Crotone on a onerous loan (3 million) with a right of redemption set at 5 plus 1 bonus. The Devil thus closes his summer campaign with 11 purchases (Adli however will remain on loan for a year at Bordeaux) and 77 million spent, which would become 127 if, in 12 months, all the redemptions were completed. Now the pitch will give the final judgement, but Elliot's financial commitment and, above all, the management's choices inspire confidence, even if the setback of having lost Donnarumma and Calhanoglu on a free transfer remains.
For a super active Milan there is instead one Juve who disappointedboth from a technical and economic point of view. The assignment of Ronaldo to Manchester United, numbers in hand, yielded 15 million plus 8 bonuses, registering a capital loss of 14 on the balance sheet: not good, especially when you consider that Kean could cost as much as 38, if all the appropriate bonuses are reached. The difficulties in selling then did the rest and so the Lady, in addition to the aforementioned Vercelli striker, closed the "revenue" item with only Locatelli e Kaio jorge: little for Allegri, who expected another midfielder (Pjanic hoped for it until the last moment, after which he acknowledged he had to stay in Barcelona) and, probably, a striker (the Icardi speech could come back alive in January).
The rest of the market experienced the usual ups and downs of emotion, with deals closed at the last moment and others skipped over details. There Lazio he took Mattia Zaccagni on loan with an obligation to buy, thus winning the clash with Atalanta, who had tried to enter in extremis: 7 million plus 2 bonuses go to Verona, Correa's replacement to Sarri. L'Hellas in turn he consoles himself with Goats, arrived with the same formula from Sampdoria, which she grabbed instead Ciccio Caputo from Sassuolo, for a total valuation of 3,5 million. In short, a hot day on the attacking front, also because we must add it to the list Keita Balde to Cagliari (three-year contract) e Caicedo to Genoa.
Strikers, but not only that: the last day of the transfer market also saw interesting strikes for midfielders and defenders. The Napoli closed the loan of Anguissa from Fulham, the Torino has made official the arrivals of Break it from Wolfsburg, Praet from Leicester e Winter from Slavia Prague, the Genoa he assured Fares from Lazio, Udinese Portuguese Beto from Portimonense (10 million), the Salernitana Gagliolo from Parma.
Many purchases, but also some excellent sales such as those of Tomiyasu at Arsenal for 23 million e Lammers at Eintracht Frankfurt (onerous dry loan). Also take a look at the foreign market, where everyone was waiting to know how the soap opera would end Mbappé. In the end the Frenchman, despite the assaults of Real Madrid, even going as far as 200 million, is stayed in Paris, where he will most likely remain until June, to then move to the Spanish capital on a free transfer, provided that the sheikh, in the meantime, does not find a way to renew his contract.
Florentino Perez consoled himself with Camavinga, taken from Rennes for 31 million, but he did it instead Atletico Madrid, which welcomes back Griezmann after two decidedly dull seasons in Barcelona with the loan formula with the right to buy set at 40 million. Great reinforcement for the Colchoneros, who however lose Saul Niguez, sold to Chelsea for the same amount.
