They have already renamed her "Cyclone Wanda". It's her, Wanda Nara, wife but above all Mauro's agent Icardi, to disturb the dreams of the fans and the Inter management. After Sunday's fuss with tweets, the issue seemed somehow destined to deflate, but it didn't. Ausilio, sporting director of Inter, limited himself to defining what happened as "out of place", avoiding further controversy.
Wanda Nara, on the contrary, increased the dose with even more poisonous words: “I'm disappointed because you don't give the right value to a player like Icardi – said his wife-prosecutor -. To stay at Inter we turned down several offers with much more important salaries than the current one. But if from one year to the next Inter value Mauro three times as much, it's only right that this importance be recognized also with the adjustment of the promised salary. He has been able to earn much more for two years and play in the Champions League. Now if a team arrives with the right offer and an adequate salary, Mauro would take it into consideration with the idea of leaving while thanking Inter for everything. Today he doesn't feel valued for his growth. If it had only been a question of money, we would have accepted the 25 million a year that a Chinese company offered us two weeks ago. Icardi would simply like to feel valued by Inter, because there are funds for new signings, but not for his signing. And that's not good."
Words destined to be discussed for a long time to come, but which could have generated a rift that is difficult to heal, despite the further facade declarations ("I'm working on his renewal, he loves Inter"). In the meantime, on the exit front, Inter completed the sale of Juan Jesus to Roma. The Brazilian defender, paid 10 million by the Giallorossi, will join Pinzolo shortly to join the new teammates under Spalletti's orders.
Even Juventus sweats cold at the thought of losing Paul Pogba. In recent weeks, the rumors of a possible farewell have followed one another day by day, and even his agent Mino Raiola does not help to clarify, on the contrary. If one day he circulates rumors about a sensational offer from Manchester United (willing to pay 123 million to Juve), the next he lets it be known that Pogba is happy in Turin and wants to stay.
The latest statements, however, cast new shadows on the Frenchman's future: “The truth is that Juve don't want to sell Pogba – said Raiola -, on the contrary they want him to stay for a long time and there is the possibility of talking about a renewal. But the transfer market is long, it closes in September and if a project comes up that will lead the boy to want to leave Juve, we'll sit down with the club and talk about it. I do not exclude anything, neither a transfer nor a permanence”.
The concept is quite clear: if some club offers him a contract at crazy prices Raiola will do everything to take him away, unless Juve takes the first step and sits down at the table willing to substantially adjust his salary.
Speaking of market soap operas, even in Naples they are experiencing days of fire for the issue Higuain. Arsenal's offer came from London: 60 million plus striker Giroud. The Argentine thinks about it, in the next few days the decisive meeting between his brother-prosecutor and the Neapolitan management is possible.
Mickael Manuello, agent of Giroud, he said: "Naples is a magnificent square, and the football proposed by Sarri could enhance its characteristics". As if that weren't enough, Hysaj's agent is also cashing in (“If Napoli thinks that Hysaj deserves a contract adjustment, it must be done quickly, otherwise we'll look around”).
On the arrivals front, however, the news of the day concerns Jackets. The playmaker has said yes to Napoli, that he will pay two million euros to Sunderland.
Se Juan Jesus he has now said goodbye to Inter, the same fate for Carlos Bacca with Milan (who consensually terminated the contract with Mauro Tassotti after 37 years spent with the Rossoneri). For the Colombian forward there is West Ham, with whom Milan has already reached an economic agreement on the basis of 30 million. The real problem concerns the player, because Bacca would have refused the proposal of 4 million a year against a request for 5. Here then are the slopes of Atletico Madrid (absolutely the attacker's favorite destination) and Valencia making a comeback.
With the money deriving from the sale of Bacca Milan should be able to close the two deals they've been working on for some time: Zielinski and Musacchio. Villarreal has lowered the economic demands for the defender and could accept the 25 million (payable in three installments) offered by Milan. Udinese, on the other hand, found an agreement with Milan for Zielinski: 18 million. The Polish midfielder's agent, Bartlomiej Bolek, is expected in Milan on Friday and will meet Galliani for the details of the contract.
Montella, however, also indicated the midfielder Soda a very welcome reinforcement. Favio Bilardo, the Argentine's agent said: “Sosa is happy at Besiktas, but he ended up on the list of goals of many European clubs. We have already met Milan, who offered us a contract worth 2,2 million per season. At Besiktas, on the other hand, we earn 1,5”.
The response of Besiktas is dry. Rebecca Wood, president of the club, replied: “We have offered up to 1,9 million euros, trying to increase Sosa's contract by 400 euros. Doing more is impossible. If Milan were to offer him more, the player can leave. But the Rossoneri will also have to pay what is required for his transfer." That is 8 million euros.
From Spain, Real Madrid freezes Antonio Conte, defining Morata "non-transferable". For now, therefore, the Merengue club wants to keep the attacker picked up by Juve for itself by exercising the right to "repurchase". But with an adequate offer (between 50 and 60 million) he will be able to talk about it again.
