This time we really are. Silvio Berlusconi, by his own admission, now seems close to handing over Milan to a consortium of Chinese entrepreneurs: a veritable epochal change that will overturn the prospects of the club right from the current market. “I accepted what was offered to me without discussing the price – confirmed the president. – The only thing I have demanded is the commitment from the buyers to pay 400 million over the next two years to strengthen the team”.
Important revelations, not so much as regards the transfer of ownership (that, after all, was the "Pulcinella's secret") but for the economic discourse. If these figures were confirmed, Milan would have a royal budget at its disposal, more than enough to revolutionize the player base and really aim high again. Waiting to know the version of the buyers (although still mysterious), the facts would seem to go in this direction.
The other evening Galliani had dinner with Montella and Gancikoff, the latter collaborator of the Chinese consortium, testifying that the Rossoneri market is already shared by both parties. There are many names that come up but the ones that tease the most are Piaça and Kovacic: both young and talented (especially the former) would represent the best encouragement for the new course. However, Carlos Bacca, on whom Simeone's Atletico Madrid fell, may not be included in the project.
The Colombian, who arrived from Sevilla a year ago for 30 million, could return to Spain for roughly the same amount, a deal that would satisfy both Milan (not entirely satisfied with his performance) and the player (desiring to make the Champions League) . “There are many clubs that have asked me for information – explained the prosecutor. – Now Carlos is on vacation, when he returns we will talk and decide what to do”.
Market in full swing also at Juventus, where the rumors about Edinson Cavani continue. Some members of his entourage have been spotted at Caselle airport, and there are those who swear that they have already blocked (and renovated) an apartment in the center of Turin. The operation has not yet come to fruition but the will of the parties is clear: the wedding must be done.
But now we need to hear the opinion of Paris Saint Germain, in turn blocked by the Higuain affair. If the Argentine manages to "free himself" from Naples, the waltz of strikers can really begin, with an outlay of (huge) millions attached. Attention focused equally on the defensive department, in need of a refresh at least from a personal point of view.
Marotta practically has Mehdi Benatia in his grip, ready to wear black and white with the loan formula: whether with an obligation (18 million) or a right to buy, we'll understand soon, but certain that the blow is more than possible.
However, keep an eye on the sales front as well. After Mourinho's presentation conference (“we have already signed three players but one is still missing”) the English bookmakers literally tore up the quota relating to the Pogba-Manchester United marriage: for now, no confirmation from Turin (as well as, from remainder, since France's withdrawal), it is clear, however, that the situation will need to be carefully monitored between now and the coming weeks.
Maneuvers underway also for Inter, increasingly focused on Gabriel Jesus. The young striker (19 years old) from Palmeiras is considered the future Brazilian "phenomenon", which is why the Suning Group would be ready to invest 25 million euros. An important offer, unfortunately matched by the big names from all over Europe, testifying that the boy promises a lot but everyone really likes him.
"For now my desire is to stay at Palmeiras" glossed over the person concerned but these words should not deceive: the transfer to Italy, in fact, would still be scheduled for January.
