It will be Edinson Cavani's week, but also the rallies of many teams, above all Milan, Inter and Juventus. In short, the holidays (for them, of course…) are over, which also applies to the transfer market. In fact, in the next few hours one of the most expensive transfers in the history of football will close, that of the Matador to PSG for the modest sum of 64 million, even 1 more than the release clause. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (90 million), Zinédine Zidane (70 million), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (69) and Kakà (68) have done better. Cavani isn't joking, either, given that he will sign a five-year deal worth 10 million net per season! In short, everyone is happy, apart from Josè Mourinho, who according to the English press is trying to convince Abramovich to relaunch. Difficult for this to happen, also because Leonardo is really ahead in the negotiation. Contacts with De Laurentiis have been going on for some time, furthermore the Brazilian general manager wasted no time, just as the Napoli patron likes. That, once the maxi sum has been collected, he will throw himself on the market in search of a substitute. It's no mystery that Benitez likes Edin Dzeko very much, but how will City (rejected by De Laurentiis on Cavani) behave in the face of a possible request for a discount? In fact, Napoli considers the assessment given by Begiristain (30 million) excessive, which is why they are looking around for alternatives. A hot name could be that of Jovetic, even if the Montenegrin is not a pure center forward.
Cavani aside, the low-cost market is on stage in Italy. Money is what it is (ie few), so you have to invent something. In this Galliani is certainly one of the best, that's why the surprise blow is always expected from him. This time it could be Ljajic (contract expiring with Fiorentina in 2014), provided Robinho is sold. “We sent Santos our latest proposal which is less than 10 million, the player has agreed to reduce his salary – the CEO said at the press conference. – If he leaves, the striker who will replace him will be young. Ljajic is part of our plans, as is Honda, but we consider him a playmaker." So Serbian does not exclude Japanese, indeed it is possible that both will arrive.
There is no doubt about Belfodil, officially an Inter player since Friday. “I've arrived in a great team, I'm really happy and I hope to do very well here – the first statements of the French-Algerian. – I greet all the Nerazzurri fans.” The purchase of him (co-ownership) will certainly not be the last. Mazzarri still wants at least one defender, a winger (if not two…) and a central midfielder, the classic man of rupture capable of giving balance and weight to the department, without however disdaining insertions in the goal area. The identikit corresponds to Nainggolan, who has always had a passion for the new Nerazzurri coach. Roma also liked the Belgian with Indonesian origins a lot, but Cellino, at Moratti's request, declined Sabatini's advances. Now all we have to do is wait for Erick Thohir, the only one capable of accelerating the Inter transfer market from times gone by. And perhaps to that of all Italian football.
