Un Milan wild. After cashing in on Ibrahimovic's availability, the Rossoneri took an important step, perhaps decisive, to also get Jackson Martinez. “His future is practically defined, he will go to a top European club which will be announced shortly – the words of Luiz Henrique Pompeo, agent of the Colombian. – Porto will receive the full 35 million of the release clause, everything will be resolved in the next few days. Milan is never named but the presence of Galliani, a great admirer of him, in Porto seems to leave little doubt: Jackson is about to wear the Rossoneri. His arrival, as previously mentioned, will not preclude that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swede, contacted by telephone by the CEO, said he was enthusiastic about the return to Milan, as demonstrated by his willingness to reduce his salary by almost 50%. From PSG's 14 million net to Milan's 7,5 million, all obviously with a longer contract: here are the foundations of an encore marriage, for which, however, the French's approval will be necessary. Who will not put particular vetoes (in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower even Cristiano Ronaldo is dreamed of!), in the face, obviously, of an offer deemed fair. But the Milan transfer market won't be limited to just attacking: the team needs substantial adjustments across the pitch and the Berlusconi-Bee duo seem determined to intervene.
For the defence, the names of Miranda from Atletico Madrid, Hummels from Borussia Dortmund and Savic from Fiorentina are mentioned, without forgetting the "local" candidacy of the young Romagnoli, who came to light precisely in Mihajlovic's Sampdoria. Attention also to the flanks (Dani Alves faded, the alternatives are Bruno Peres, Darmian and Kolarov) and to the midfield, the true Achilles heel of the squad. Galliani's dream is called Kondogbia but Monaco, for the moment, are asking for 40 million: who knows if the Doyen fund, new ally of the CEO and owner of part of the price tag, cannot mediate between the parties.
Spotlight also on Juventusdealing with the Tevez case. The Apache seems far from certain of staying in Turin and this, in itself, is nothing new. If anything, it is the fact that the next destination may not be Boca Juniors but Cholo Simeone's Atletico Madrid. News that has a little annoyed Corso Galileo Ferraris, however intent on satisfying the will of the player. Paratici, meanwhile, is looking around to replace him: Mandzukic, Cavani and Van Persie are the hottest names, Higuain the dream probably destined to remain that way. A twist instead on the Pirlo front who, given as a departure until a few days ago, could instead remain black and white.
“He never asked us to leave – glossed over Marotta. – It's easier for Tevez to leave than for him”. He took a fairly clear position, more or less like on Morata ("he will stay with us until 2016") and on Allegri ("no problem for the renewal of the contract").
Hazy market at home Inter, where there are currently more polls than concrete moves. After the first choices Yaya Tourè and Dybala faded, Ausilio is moving to decidedly less media fronts. For the attack they like Vietto del Villarreal (15 million valuation, on him also Atletico Madrid) and Chicharito Hernandez (same cost as the Argentine) but the hottest track seems to lead to Eder. The Italian-Brazilian was the subject of a conversation between Inter and Sampdoria: the blucerchiati appeared to be open to the deal provided that Andreolli, Nagatomo and Puscas enter the deal. Almost made for the Chievo full-back Zukanovic (he's only dancing for 1 million but keep an eye on Udinese), but Stephan Mbia who preferred the two-year contract offered to him by Trabzonspor faded.
Little yellow in the house Napoli, where the official status of Maurizio Sarri as new coach is slow to arrive. Yesterday the news spread that De Laurentiis, once he heard the news of the exemption, would have contacted Montella to offer him the bench, however receiving a blunt refusal. Having escaped the danger, the now former Empoli coach hopes to sign as soon as possible, perhaps by the end of the week. His Napoli will be very different from that of Benitez: in addition to Higuain (on him Chelsea, Manchester United and Psg) Callejon (Atletico Madrid) and Zapata (Turin) could leave. Meanwhile, De Laurentiis is very close to Allan (15 million to Udinese) and El Kaddouri (4,7 to Toro for the redemption) and dreams of Saponara (Sarri's cue) and Jerry Mbakogu, decisive bomber in Carpi's promotion to Serie A.
Hot hours also for the Roma, one step away from Nainggolan's redemption. Sabatini will pay Cagliari 15 million plus Verde's card, fresh money that will arrive from Al Jazira, now close to buying Gervinho. The Giallorossi sports director also aims for Bertolacci (half of him already) and Iago Falque, the Ivorian's possible heir.
Closure dedicated to Lazio, which after Klose's words of love received those of Felipe Anderson. “Next year I will play for the biancoceleste – he explained from the training camp in Brazil. – I recently renewed and I'm not interested in offers from other teams."
