Bojan yes, the rest ... we'll see! Rossoneri Tuesday gives Allegri a new striker, but he turns off the spotlight on the transfer market, at least according to Adriano Galliani. “Bojan is certainly a good coup and with him our transfer market closed – said the Milan CEO – I won't go to Madrid for Kakà and we won't deal with Diarra and De Jong. They also offered Palombo, but we declined. I repeat for the umpteenth time: the market is closed”.
Maybe, but it doesn't add up. If the Rossoneri are really fine like this, why then do they continue to test the waters for a midfielder? In fact, contacts continue with both De Jong and Diarra, even if the Dutchman seems to have taken the lead due to engagement issues. Market secrets, which in any case will be revealed by this Friday. It is unlikely that the Devil will reach Kakà, whose operation has been blocked by the well-known fiscal problems, but reinforcements are needed in the middle of the field and Galliani knows it well. Waiting for developments, let's go back to the protagonist of the day, that Bojan Krkic who just turned 22 yesterday and who decided to celebrate by signing with Milan. The Spaniard's long day began at 10 in the morning, when Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini entered the Rossoneri headquarters in Via Turati. Waiting for him were Adriano Galliani, Ariedo Braida and Massimiliano Allegri, as well as Giuseppe Riso, the intermediary of the operation.
The summit, which lasted about two hours, ended amidst smiles and handshakes: the agreement for Bojan at Milan has been found! From then on it was a long wait, which involved journalists and fans, who literally camped under the offices in Via Turati waiting for the Spaniard. Which arrived around 18.30, after a direct Rome-Milan flight that landed in Linate. A few photographs with the new fans, the signing of the contract and the first declarations as a Rossoneri: “Great birthday, I must say! I'm very happy, we can always do better than last year. I haven't spoken to Allegri yet but I'm very happy to be at Milan." Bojan's Rossoneri evening then continued in the inevitable "Giannino", where Galliani welcomed him with a celebratory cake.
The party continued late, but today it will be time to go back to work again. Because at the end of the market, whatever Galliani says, there are still three days to go. And Milan fans are still hoping for a big deal.
