TEVEZ - AC MILAN, AFFAIR AT THE PHOTOFINISH! NO AGREEMENT DUE TO A PENALTY. MAXI LOPEZ IS OFFICIALLY ROSSONERO!
It seems it's all over. It seems, because anything can happen in a story like this, so we wouldn't be surprised by anything anymore. What is certain is that Maxi Lopez is a new Milan player: the contract was filed shortly after 19pm. The Argentine ex Catania can thus leave the hotel where he was "locked up" for days to move to Milanello, where he will finally be able to start training with his teammates.
But the big news of the day is theyet another break between Milan and Manchester City for Carlos Tevez. We thought we had already experienced the peak of suspense two weeks ago, when the Rossoneri were one step away from the Apache, until Berlusconi's phone call which blocked the sale of Pato. This afternoon, however, the emotions were even more. Shortly after 14 pm Kia Joorabchian, Tevez's attorney, declares that his client will not leave Manchester until June. It seems like the final word, but it's not like that. Adriano Galliani "overrides" Brian Marwood, general manager of City, and deals directly with Al Mubarak, president of the club. The rumors multiply, Milan is getting closer to the Apache.
The offer is always the same: free loan until June with obligation to buy (24 million) conditional on the sale in the summer of one between Pato and Robinho. At 18.30 a certain optimism filtered through via Turati, City seemed on the verge of saying yes to Galliani. The rumors multiply, Milan Channel announces that the closing of the deal is very close, the Milan fans are anticipating the arrival of Tevez. And then comes the cold shower. Shortly after 19pm, Manchester City sent an email to Adriano Galliani. The British accept the offer, but attach a document: a very high penalty in case of non-redeemment. The email sends Adriano Galliani into a rage, who orders his collaborators to deposit Maxi Lopez's contract with Lega Calcio. He will be Milan's new Argentine, who will have the task of making the fans forget Tevez. Provided that the cards do not change again in the next few days, but this time the chances are almost nil.
