TEVEZ'S ATTORNEY VISITED INTER.
ANZHI OFFERS 20 MILLION A YEAR TO ETO'O!
SNEIJDER TO THE FANS: "IF I DECIDE TO STAY, I'LL TELL YOU"
“Meeting Tevez was absolutely casual and fortuitous. We met on the beach (in Sardinia, as documented by some images, ed), but there will be no sequel". Marco Branca was very clear, but his statements contrast with what has been happening in recent days, especially yesterday. In fact, Kim Joorabchian, agent of the Argentine, showed up at the Inter headquarters. Officially, as mediator for Anzhi who want to buy Samuel Eto'o (we'll talk about it shortly), but it's clear that the presence of Tevez's agent, at a time like this, can only cause discussion. Especially if, really, the Cameroonian were to leave. Yes, because yesterday afternoon some emissaries of Anzhi showed up at the Inter headquarters, the Russian club which, some time ago, had seriously tempted Gattuso with a shocking offer (10 million a year). This time the goal is even more prestigious: Samuel Eto'o. The Russians have tried to tempt Inter by offering 40 million, but above all the Cameroonian, with a sensational offer of 20 million per season. However, it is unlikely that the Nerazzurri will be able to give up someone like Eto'o, equally unlikely that the attacker will be tempted by the Russian championship (despite the salary offered to him). That's why the "big" most accredited to leave Milan is always Wesley Sneijder.
The Dutchman never misses an opportunity to question his stay at Inter. On Wednesday in Appiano Gentile, he had the opportunity to exchange a few words with the Nerazzurri fans who were present to follow training. But to the fans who asked him not to go to Manchester United, the Dutchman replied coldly: "If I decide to stay, I'll let you know officially." As if to say that staying in Milan is anything but certain.
Inter's intense market day also saw a new idea with Genoa. Branca admitted that "With the rossoblu players are being evaluated who can serve now in Genoa, and in the future in Milan". The identikit responds to the name of Casemiro, the San Paolo midfielder that the Nerazzurri could buy together with Genoa, leaving him for a year in Liguria, to then evaluate what to do next summer. The negotiation (a Boateng-style operation, but in reverse) would finally bring Rodrigo Palacio to Inter.
PASTORE SIGNS FOR PSG TODAY!
LEONARDO WILL GIVE ZAMPARINI 45 MILLION!
The foreign club that will win Pastore is called Paris Saint Germain, but has the refined face and manners of Leonardo. It was he who spun the strings of what, like Aguero – Manchester City, will be the most expensive negotiation of this market. The agreement has been found in all respects, therefore the Italian championship will lose one of its brightest jewels. Between today and tomorrow, the parties should meet in London (where PSG will be playing a tournament) to put the deal in black and white. Zamparini was convinced by Leonardo's proposal of 45 million, the real showman of the last days of the transfer market. Therefore, the president of Palermo was not lying when he valued Pastore at 50 million, a figure which, more or less, will end up in his club's coffers.
AC MILAN, PASTORE WAS ONE STEP AHEAD!
PALOSCHI THE KEY TO MONTOLIVO?
BRAIDA OPENS ON THE RETURN OF KAKA': "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE"
Adriano Galliani often cites the film "Sliding doors", the one in which he demonstrates how a door, open or closed, can really change the course of a life. The door in question, returning to football and the AC Milan transfer market, was the sentence of the Lodo Mondadori. The 560 million sting that hit Fininvest prevented the Rossoneri from finalizing the purchase of Pastore. This is the sensational background that emerged yesterday, when, investigating Flaco's transfer to Paris, we learned that Milan, a few weeks ago, had already reached an agreement with Zamparini on the basis of 35 million. Yesterday, among other things, Ariedo Braida had lunch with Marcelo Simonian, the agent of the Argentine attacking midfielder, who, by virtue of the past negotiation, wanted to inform him in person about the developments with PSG.
Now, having definitively vanished Pastore, we turn the page (or if we want to go back to Slinding doors, another door opens). The name (much less captivating) is that of Montolivo, for which there may be new developments.
In fact, the Viola, not very interested in Cassano (especially due to the current salary of 3,5 million a year), might instead like Alberto Paloschi, the young Rossoneri striker who has just returned to base after the year spent in Genoa. That's why Milan is about to present the following proposal to Fiorentina: 5,5 million plus half of Paloschi to have Montolivo. The Viola, despite the facade declarations, do not have many paths to follow. Either they sell the player immediately (at the price offered by Galliani) or they will lose him next year on a free transfer. It is clear that the second possibility does not suit anyone, not even the player who, despite having the prospect of signing with anyone in 2012, would have a very difficult year from an environmental point of view.
In the meantime, the rumors about a possible return of Kakà do not subside. To feed them, this time, Ariedo Braida. The Rossoneri director, on the sidelines of compiling the calendars, left a small crack open: “We all love Kakà, and he loves us. I see buying him unlikely, but in football everything is possible… ”.
JUVE, GOODBYE TO ROSSI.
WHAT AN ACCELERATION ON VUCINIC!
SUMMIT WITH DIEGO LUGANO.
The sentences pronounced on Wednesday evening by Giuseppe Marotta, ("Villarreal no longer wants to sell Rossi"), smack of early surrender. All the more so, as the Spaniards are now negotiating the transfer of Nilmar with Roma (we'll talk about it below). So, the film has almost reached the end credits, without, unfortunately, there has been any happy ending. This was confirmed by Pepito's agent, Federico Pastorello: “Villarreal has informed me that Giuseppe is no longer for sale. He is serene, at least the weight of uncertainty has been removed”.
But Juventus fans could console themselves soon. Giuseppe Marotta has decided (finally!) to launch the decisive attack for Mirko Vucinic. Until now, the Juventus CEO had only spoken to Alessandro Lucci, the Montenegrin's agent, receiving, among other things, more than one opening. But now the turning point has come. In fact, Marotta has given a mandate to Lucci (on the false lines of what happened with Pastorello for Rossi) to organize a meeting with Sabatini as soon as possible. According to some rumors, the meeting could take place as early as the weekend. It really suits everyone for the deal to go through as soon as possible, for Juventus, which must buy the striker/winger for Antonio Conte as soon as possible, and for Roma, which needs to monetize to move on the market. Marotta will propose an interesting offer to Sabatini: 15 million straight away plus 2 in bonuses, for a total of 17. Up to now, Roma have valued Vucinic at 20 million, therefore, the parties don't seem as distant as they were a few days ago.
But yesterday was not just an important day for the attack. In the afternoon, in Milan, Marotta and Paratici met Juan Figer, Diego Lugano's attorney. The Uruguayan defender, currently with Fenerbahce, could be the right man to bolster the Juventus central team, currently reduced to just Chiellini (who could however be diverted to the left), Bonucci, Barzagli and Sorensen (departing). Lugano has a release clause of only 3 million, so the price is anything but prohibitive. The problem could be represented by the salary (3 million a year) that the Uruguayan receives in Turkey.
ROME, NILMAR IS AFTER VUCINIC.
CLAMOROUS: PROBLEMS FOR STEKELENBURG, MAYBE JUMP EVERYTHING!
CLOSING BETWEEN UNICREDIT AND DIBENEDETTO STILL SLIDES.
Vucinic hasn't left yet, but Roma's moves suggest that the Montenegrin should pack his bags in the short term. In fact, Walter Sabatini has made contact with Villarreal for Nilmar, the Brazilian striker who has done so well in tandem with Giuseppe Rossi. Roma would be willing to transfer the entire sum collected for Vucinic (17 million) to Villarreal, in order to bring home a player Luis Enrique dotes on. We will see what the Spaniards' response will be, what is certain is that Roma will not sell Vucinic until they have found a replacement first. For a coup that lies ahead, there is one that could, surprisingly, jump. We are talking about Stekelenburg, who, due to Ajax's taxation, risks not getting to Rome anymore. The Dutch, burned by the Chivu case (there were problems with payments, the companies ended up in court), want the money before the transfer (something never seen before). Roma are waiting, because the will is to take Stekelenburg at any cost, but in the meantime they are taking precautions with the Argentine Romero, from AZ Alkmaar. In the meantime, as already anticipated by Roberto Cappelli (interim president), the highly anticipated closing of the deal between Unicredit and Thomas DiBenedetto will not take place today. Sources close to the bank, however, let it be known that there will be no problems with closing the deal.
