MILAN – TEVEZ, IT'S NOT OVER YET! GALLIANI DOES NOT GIVE UP BUT THE DEAL IS VERY DIFFICULT. INZAGHI TEMPTED BY LAZIO, PALERMO AND SIENA: GOODBYE NEARBY?
At this point let's resign ourselves: the soap opera will end only on January 31st, obviously for major reasons (the closure of the market). Should it go badly (for Milan), we'll get ready to relive all this again next summer, vice versa the Rossoneri could announce the coup precisely at the photo finish. Yes, because a window to see Tevez at Milan immediately still exists. After the incredible split on Friday evening, Galliani and Al Mubarak have resumed contact. The crux is always the penalty introduced by City at the last moment, which had sent the AC Milan manager into a rage. By accepting it, Milan would effectively find themselves obliged to redeem Tevez in June: conversely, the loan alone would cost the via Turati coffers 12 million and the player would also return to England. In short, far from a bargain! That's why Galliani (and Kia Joorabchian) are working alongside the president of the City to remove (or at least drastically reduce) the penalty. Will they succeed in the enterprise? We don't make forecasts but a promise: we will monitor everything until 19pm on January 31st.
In the meantime, the arrival of Maxi Lopez and the simultaneous negotiation for Tevez are pushing Inzaghi away from Milan. "Superpippo" has a mad desire to play and this is no longer possible for the Rossoneri. Relations with Allegri are at minimum union levels, as demonstrated by what happened on Thursday evening in the Coppa Italia: the coach let him warm up for the entire second half, but never let him in. A (further) lack of respect for a man who made the history of Milan, but who is too much today. Inzaghi has always said he wanted to end his career in the Rossoneri shirt, but today things have changed and the temptations of Lazio, Palermo and Siena are strong. A lot will depend on tonight: if Allegri were to relegate him once again to the stands, Pippo could pack his bags tomorrow.
JUVE, TODAY THE MEETING WITH CAGLIARI FOR NAINGGOLAN! MAROTTA ADMITS: “WE WILL TRY…” ZENIT WANTS KRASIC, TONI IN DUBAI: TODAY THE OFFICIAL.
Juventus – Nainggolanmaybe we are. Today in Milan (where Cagliari will face Milan) a meeting between Marotta and Cellino is scheduled to talk about the Belgian midfielder. Juve understood that the deal is difficult but not impossible and the words of the black and white general manager prove it: "We don't hide behind a finger - said Marotta before the match against Udinese - we like the player and we will try to take it". A full-blown admission of intent that demonstrates a certain optimism: on the other hand, the previous Matri (January 2011, an apparently impossible deal and then closed) bodes well. Juventus' goal is to conclude the operation along the lines of what was done last year for the attacker: a mandatory loan and redemption in June (15 million). Cagliari could accept, but would be happier if they could have suffered an adjustment. That's why Marotta is also working on the Krasic front, requested by Spalletti's Zenit St. Petersburg. The Russians would like him on loan, but Juve need to cash in; the deal can be concluded, also because the Russian market will close on February 24th, but it is clear that the bianconeri would prefer to speed up by Tuesday.
Meanwhile, after Fabio Cannavaro, another world champion from "Germany 2006" says goodbye to Italy and emigrates to Dubai. We are talking about Luca Toni, who today will officially become a player of Al Nassr, the team coached by Walter Zenga. Tomorrow instead will be Michele Pazienza's day at Udinese.
INTER BLINDS THIAGO MOTTA, BUT PSG STILL HOP. LEONARDO WILL TRY A LAST MINUTE RAISE! JUAN JESUS ARRIVES TOMORROW, COUTINHO AT ESPANYOL.
They have decided to keep him, but no one at Inter feels safe enough to admit it publicly. The temptation psg it still exists, for the player (who would earn over 18 million in 3 and a half years) and for the club, which sees the possibility of collecting a good amount. Money is always involved in the transfer market, but this time even more so: if it weren't for that, Inter wouldn't even think of depriving themselves of their midfielder. Ranieri wants to keep him at least until June and things should actually go exactly like this. Unless Leonardo raises his offer: if the Brazilian general manager shows up with a check for 10 million plus bonuses (for a total of 13), then Thiago Motta could really leave. In Paris they are reflecting on the advisability of such a move: Leo still hopes that the player's will can save him a few million. However, the market closes shortly and in the next few hours the scenarios could change.
Waiting for (any) developments on the affair Thiago Motta, tomorrow will be the day of Juan Jesus, who will officially become an Inter player. The Brazilian will not go on loan to Novara, but will remain with the Nerazzurri at least until June. For a carioca who arrives, there is one who leaves: Philippe Coutinho will go on loan to Espanyol. Tomorrow the leaders of the Catalan club will be in Milan, who plan to return to Barcelona with the player.
