Le jeux sont faits. Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are now to all intents and purposes considered PSG players, to the delight of Carlo Ancelotti (who yesterday blessed the arrival of the two top players) and with all due respect to the Milan fans. The weekend will be used to finalize the final contractual details, but the white smoke arrived yesterday after the long confrontation between Leonardo and Raiola. The latter prevailed (were there any doubts?), obtaining a three-year contract worth 12 million a year plus bonuses, against an initial offer of a four-year contract worth 9 million a season. But Ibra, who is in Ibiza in the company of Abate and Inzaghi, was categorical: he would never have agreed to lower his salary. It's hard to blame him, given that the PSG is one of the richest clubs on the planet, the richest if we only consider the current summer.
While Zlatan relaxes in the Balearic sun, Raiola remained in Paris to file the last details, children of the different French tax systems. Monday will instead be the day of the signings, with the Swede who will land in the capital for medical examinations and presentation to the press and fans, while for Thiago, in training camp with the Olympic national team, the times will be longer. Thus the Milan of the future will officially be born, even if Galliani has already been on the move for several days. The CEO met the agent of Rolando, central defender of Porto, the first goal for the Thiago post.
The Portuguese club is asking for 15 million, Milan, with the help of the intermediary Davide Lippi, is trying to lower the price to around 10. Next week will then be that of the forwards: the agents of Tevez, Dzeko and Leandro Damiao (forward of the Internacional de Porto Alegre) will parade in Milan. prediction? The favorite remains the Argentine from Manchester City, Galliani's real passion since last winter, but we need to understand if Mancini is still willing to sell. The Destro track also remains hot, albeit disconnected from the post Ibra.
In fact, the young Italian striker would only arrive if Robinho, who Santos likes very much, leaves. However, the Brazilian club doesn't have the money to pay him (10-12 million), which is why they proposed 5 million plus Rafael, a young goalkeeper already in the Seleçao tour, to Milan. The deal seems complicated, because the Rossoneri are not looking for extreme defenders and because the Brazilian transfer market (inbound) will close next Friday. There is little time left, but nothing is impossible. Especially in this crazy Milan market.
