ROME, LAMELA IS ALREADY IN TRIGORIA!
RIISE COLLECTED TO FULHAM, GIFTS TO LIVERPOOL
Only signatures are missing for Erik Lamela at Roma. The Argentinian striker has been in the capital since yesterday evening, where, together with the managers of River Plate, he will meet Walter Sabatini this morning. El Coco, who arrived in Milan yesterday from Buenos Aires, boarded the last Frecciarossa train yesterday evening, heading for Rome. Then, accompanied by the organizational director of the Tempestilli club, he arrived in Trigoria, where he spent the first night in what will become his sports centre. The deal, as confirmed by Daniel Crespo, the Argentine club's lawyer, will close on the basis of 12 million plus 3 in bonuses, while the player will sign a five-year contract at 1,5 million per season. Great coup therefore, given that the player was liked by numerous teams throughout Europe. However, the relegation of River forced the president Passarella to lower the economic demands (from 20 to 12). Rome is also very active on the transfer front. Yesterday Sabatini sold Norwegian full-back John Arne Riise to Fulham for 2,6 million. His replacement will be Josè Angel Valdes, who will arrive from Sporting Gijon for 4,5 million. The transfer of Doni to Liverpool is official: the meeting held last night between Sabatini, Claudio Fenucci and Paolo Rodella, the legal guarantor of the operation, was decisive. News on the Stekelenburg front is expected in the next few hours, but it is probable that the closing of the deal will arrive only in the next week.
INTER, EVERYONE WANTS SNEIJDER.
MALAGA OFFERS 35 MILLION! AND IF IT HAD TO LEAVE…
It's not just Manchester United on Wesley Sneijder. In fact, the Dutch attacking midfielder is also very popular with Malaga. The news may make you smile, given that the Spanish club is certainly not one of the most important in football, but we must not forget that since last summer it has been controlled by Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nassar Al-Thani. A 43-year-old member of the Qatari royal family, he sits on the Board of Directors of the Bank of Doha, as well as owning hotels and shopping centers around the world. Yesterday evening Soren Lerby, Sneijder's agent, had dinner with the Malaga executives. It was an interlocutory meeting, in which the player acknowledged the sheikh's interest. Today we will probably know more, certainly it should not be forgotten that Manchester United is also on the Dutchman, who, according to news from England, would have offered as much as 39 million. Sneijder is likely to prefer Sir Alex Ferguson's glorious club, but the power of money shouldn't be underestimated. According to the latest rumors, it seems that the sheik has even proposed 10 million net per season for the next 5 years, a figure that would have at least made the Nerazzurri attacking midfielder greedy. And what does Inter say? The feeling is that with these figures Massimo Moratti would deprive himself of his number 10, and then reinvest his capital in a Champion with a capital C. The purchase of Sanchez would thus become possible again (it would have to be done very quickly though) or that of Tevez, eager to leave the gray Manchester. The city that could instead adopt Sneijder, provided that the Dutchman does not prefer the money of warm Malaga to the glorious United.
JUVE, ROSSI EXCEEDS AGUERO!
SISSOKO OFFERED TO ROME FOR VUCINIC.
Giuseppe Rossi put the arrow on Sergio Aguero. Given the complications to get to the Kun, Marotta decidedly turned to Italian, which costs less (about 30 million) and earns less (3 million). Aguero still remains a target, but if the big European teams (Real Madrid and Manchester City above all, with Florentino Perez's men favourites) continue to court him, bringing him to Turin will be almost impossible. Marotta still hopes that the big names mentioned above decide to turn to other objectives, but at the moment the scenario does not allow for optimism. And then Juve decided to talk to Rossi, who certainly doesn't have the appeal of Aguero (we are a nation of xenophiles) but has scored in the Spanish Liga almost as much as him (18 goals against 20). Furthermore, Pepito would rush back to Italy, while Kun, with Real Madrid in the running, would certainly not put his foot down for the transfer to Turin. Another big dream of Conte is Mirko Vucinic, who has already communicated to Roma that he wants to leave. Tottenham have offered 15 million, but the Montenegrin would much prefer to go to Juventus. The bianconeri are ready to present an offer similar to that of the English, but with the addition of Momo Sissoko. We already told you yesterday that the Malian hadn't been called up for the retreat in Bardonecchia. Maybe today we can understand why.
NAPLES, IF A BIG LEAVES THE PASTORE COMES!
TAKEN BRITOS FROM BOLOGNA.
Aurelio De Laurentiis never ceases to amaze. Everyone wants his jewels and what does he do? He tries to buy the best that is on the market. After Pozzo's declarations, which revealed Napoli's interest in Sanchez, those of Zamparini arrived yesterday: “I don't know exactly De Laurentiis' intentions, I haven't heard from him for 20 days. Tomorrow I will meet Marcelo Simonian (agent of Flaco ed.) to take stock of the situation, however I believe that Napoli's interest in Pastore is concrete". And so the Azzurri fans are officially authorized to dream, not so much about Sanchez, who beyond Pozzo's sentences is very close to Barcelona (but watch out for Inter), but about the Argentine, who could really get to the shadow of the Vesuvius. Pastore costs 40 million, more or less the same amount that De Laurentiis is asking for Hamsik. However, the great starter for Napoli seems to be Ezequiel Lavezzi. Pocho have a release clause of 30 million, a figure that Manchester City would be willing to pay. But if Pastore really did arrive, it's a safe bet that the Azzurri fans wouldn't cry too much for his departure.
Waiting for the big maneuvers, Bigon scored a good shot for the defense. In fact, last night a general agreement was reached with Bologna for Miguel Angel Britos, a central defender in great demand from Mazzarri. About 10 million euros will go to the rossoblu, it remains to be established whether all in cash (which Napoli has said is willing to do) or with some technical counterpart.
MILAN WORKS IN SILENCE.
DREAMS ARE ALWAYS IN BRAZIL.
No news yesterday on the Milan transfer market. Mister X still remains unnamed, but this doesn't mean that the Rossoneri aren't working on negotiations. Galliani particularly dotes on the two Brazilians from Santos, playmaker Ganso and winger midfielder Danilo. On the first, however, in addition to the almost inaccessible cost (50 million, negotiable) there is a veto from the Brazilian club until January. In fact, in December Santos will participate in the Club World Cup, which is why they would prefer to postpone any outgoing negotiations to the winter transfer market session. The same speech was also made at Real Madrid for Neymar, but it may not be true for Danilo. The right winger costs less (release clause of 20 million, negotiating you can go down by at least half) and above all he has already exposed himself. "I can't promise that I will stay – he said a few days ago at the press conference – if offers come from big European clubs I will evaluate them". Milan, which has registered Taiwo as a non-EU player occupying the first "box", must choose: either Ganso or Danilo. There are many scenarios, but right now the most probable is only one: Danilo and Hamsik in the summer, Ganso next year. Unless Adriano Galliani, as an old fox of the market, amazes us once again.
LAZIO, HERE'S CISSE'!
SIENA, MEZZAROMA GIFTS YOU D'AGOSTINO.
Lazio has closed another deal. Since yesterday evening Dijbrill Cissè is to all intents and purposes considered a biancoceleste player. 5,8 million will go to Panathinaikos (spread over three years), while the player will join Lazio for 3 years, with a salary of 2 million per season. Now the incoming market can be said to be almost complete (even if Lotito still wants a midfielder, and there is a run-off between Parolo from Cesena and Konè from Brescia) while the outgoing one remains open. Next week all the attentions of sporting director Tare will be on Sergio Floccari, who Parma likes very much.
Massimo Mezzaroma was also unleashed, who, having just returned to Serie A with his Siena team, has every intention of staying there. After having entrusted the team to Sannino (revelation coach of last Serie B) and bought Almiron and Destro, the Juventus president bought Gaetano D'Agostino in co-ownership deal from Udinese (who just two summers ago was followed by Juventus and Real Madrid). Half of the card went to the Friulians for 2,5 million euros, while the player will soon sign a four-year contract worth 800 thousand euros per season.
Waiting to place some shots to strengthen the team, the Della Valle family reinforces the corporate structure of Fiorentina. Gianfranco Teotino has been the club's new communications manager since yesterday.
Surprise signing of Atalanta, which reinforces its youth sector with a new coach. This is Giuseppe Bergomi, who will lead the Berretti team for the next two years.
