INTER, NOW PALACIO IS ONE STEP AWAY!
SNEIJDER QUIETS THE FANS: "I'LL STAY HERE".
SANTON – NEWCASTLE, IT'S OFFICIAL. MUNTAR REFUSED 3 TEAMS!
Despite the customary denials (above all by Moratti and Branca) Inter are one step away from Rodrigo Palacio. In fact, the Nerazzurri have decided to raise the offer to Genoa from 5 to 8 million, effectively reducing the distance with the Rossoblu to a minimum (who are asking for 10 million). The proposal left Milan yesterday evening, after Massimo Moratti had kept his market men Branca and Ausilio in contact for about two hours. Now we are just waiting for Preziosi's response, which should be positive.
For a winger who arrives, there should be no departure, at least in the advanced department. Wesley Sneijder will in fact remain in Milan. This was confirmed by the Dutch player himself, who with a curt: "I'm staying at Inter" shut down all market rumors. Of course, the feeling of a failed divorce remains only due to the total absence of suitable offers (true Ferguson?), but now Sneijder will have to put aside the disappointment of the difficult summer and think about the Nerazzurri season.
Finally, the transfer of Santon to Newcastle on a permanent basis for 6 million is official, while there are complications for the sale of Sulley Muntari. Yesterday the Ghanaian refused even 3 offers (!): Palermo, Fulham and Galatasaray in fact had made very concrete polls, but the midfielder didn't listen to reason. We'll see if Inter can make him change his mind by 19.00 pm tonight.
JUVENTUS, WITH ELIA'S OFFICIAL MARKET IS ALMOST CLOSED.
BONUCCI BLOCKS BRUNO ALVES, BOCCHETTI AND GASTALDELLO THE ALTERNATIVES.
AMAURI REFUSED GENOA, MAROTTA WANTS TO SELL HIM AT ALL COSTS.
Eljero Elia is a new Juventus player. The Dutchman underwent medical tests yesterday, then signed a four-year contract for 1,3 million a season. He smiles Antonio Conte, who can now boast a respectable outdoor park.
However, this is not the case for the defence, given that a central defender is still missing. With Zenit, the agreement for the exchange Bonucci - Bruno Alves has been found, but the Juventus player is blocking everything. In fact, there is no agreement with the Russians on the signing, which a few hours after the end of the transfer market damn complicates the negotiation. The candidacies of Salvatore Bocchetti and Daniele Gastaldello remain alive, even if at the moment the priority remains Bruno Alves. Today, inevitably, will be the decisive day. Marotta can't risk leaving the defensive department uncovered, the real Achilles' heel of last season, that's why everything suggests that in the end a centre-back will arrive.
An important day also on the sales front. After having mutually terminated Grygera's contract and with the Ziegler issue still at stake (the full-back did not reach an agreement with Trabzonspor), the most thorny issue concerns Amauri. The Italian-Brazilian also refused the transfer to Genoa, on the Rossoblu side, because he is not interested in Preziosi's club project. Marotta has a good offer from Marseille in hand (5 million) but the player is pushing to return to Parma, where he relaunched last year. Too bad, however, that the Ducali have not yet reached an agreement with Juventus.
ROME – PJANIC, HERE WE GO! KJAER MESS FIXED.
SABATINI BEWARE: PALERMO “STOLES” YOU GAGO!
PSG HOLDS BACK: BORRIELLO STAYS IN ROME.
The quality midfielder that Luis Enrique has longed for is about to arrive. We are talking about Miralem Pjanic, the Bosnian full back of Lyon, who should officially become a Roma player in the morning. The agreement with the French was found on the basis of 10 million cash, given that the president Aulas refused the inclusion of Fabio Simplicio in the operation. Now it is negotiating with Pjanic, who has asked for a five-year contract at 2 million per season, while Roma had remained firm until yesterday evening at 1,5 million plus bonuses. In short, a matter of details and then it will be white smoke. The same arrived (finally) for Simon Kjaer, protagonist in recent days of a real market mess. Rome and Wolfsburg have finally found an agreement, on the basis of a loan with the right to buy (as the Giallorossi wanted) set at 7 million (in addition to 3 immediately, as the Germans wanted).
A tangled situation instead that of Fernando Gago, at the center of a duel between Rome and Palermo. In fact, the rosanero sensationally found an agreement with Real Madrid yesterday afternoon, only to stop due to the refusal of the Argentine, who only wants the capital. This is why today the deal should go through on the basis of a loan with right.
However, the sale of Borriello to PSG will not be completed. The club directed by Leonardo did not go beyond the request for a loan with the right to buy, an option not appreciated by the player, who therefore, barring sensational twists, will remain in Rome as a separate home.
MILAN, DOES THE MARKET REALLY CLOSE HERE?
EL SHAARAWY REMAINS WITH ROSSONERO (AT LEAST UNTIL JANUARY).
TAKEN THE YOUNG PELE' IN JOINT OWNERSHIP WITH GENOA.
He also arrived for Milan on the last day of the transfer market. However, unlike last year, when the Rossoneri experienced an extremely hectic August 31st (with the signing of Robinho and the sales of Huntelaar and Borriello), the 2011 summer session will end without surprises. At least this is what Adriano Galliani keeps repeating last night at dinner in the famous Milanese restaurant "Giannino" with Giuseppe Marotta. The feeling is that this time the Rossoneri CEO is telling the truth, even if last-minute operations cannot be ruled out 100%.
The young Stephan El Shaarawy will not leave the Italian champion club. Yesterday evening the rumor had spread of a return of the Italian-Egyptian attacker to Genoa, with the formula of the outright loan. Hypothesis flatly denied by Galliani, who in no uncertain terms reiterated that El Shaarawy will remain at Milan.
With Genoa, however, an operation was made. The Rossoneri have taken the young Portuguese Tuncara Gomes Judilson, better known as Pele, into co-ownership deals with the Rossoblu. The player, coming from Belenenses, will be loaned to Gubbio, and will therefore have the opportunity to shine in our Serie B.
GENOA, NO GILARDINO. PRECIOUS VIRA ON MAXI LOPEZ.
NAPLES, HERE IS FIDELEFF, DE LAURENTIIS' LAST STROKE.
DELIO ROSSI'S REVENGE: "ZAMPARINI, I WON'T COME BACK TO YOU!"
In the end, Preziosi had to give up: Gilardino won't arrive in Genoa. In fact, Fiorentina has also rejected the latest proposal from the rossoblu, which arrived yesterday evening: 10 million cash plus half of Kharja's price tag. But Corvino has remained firm on the initial request of 16 million, so the deal seems to have definitely fallen through. However, Genoa are looking for a center forward and with the money collected from the sale of Palacio they will try to sign Maxi Lopez from Catania, valued at 10 million.
The market is closed instead for Napoli, which after having sold Victor Ruiz to Valencia (8 million) has practically bought the Argentine defender Igacio Fideleff, 23-year-old from Newell's Old Boys, who is expected in the morning in the Campania capital. However, Bigon took precautions just in case, blocking Pescara defender Marco Capuano.
It seemed made for Delio Rossi's return to Palermo, but yesterday afternoon the former Rossoneri coach froze the fans and, above all, his former president Maurizio Zamparini: “Going back to Palermo? Absolutely not!" said Rossi, who later admitted that he had been contacted by the club: "I spoke to Zamparini and Sogliano, and I told them that I don't feel ready to return to Palermo: too little time has passed, and then I'm in contact with other teams". In short, a perfect revenge on the part of the man who last year, despite the good results obtained, was exonerated, recalled and again left at home. As if to say: whoever does it, wait for it.
