Done deal! Only the official is missing but Arturo Vidal is practically a Bayern Munich player. Agreement found within 48 hours and finalized by a blitz by Marotta, who flew to Bavaria yesterday afternoon to formalize everything with his German counterpart. Juventus will receive 37 million plus bonuses, for a total of 40, while the Chilean will sign a four-year deal worth 6,5 million per season. The black and whites thus continue the revolution which, in addition to Vidal, has also seen Pirlo and Tevez leave: three fixed points of recent years, those that have brought league titles to series and a Champions League final. Now Marotta will be back on the market in a big way, to give Allegri that much desired playmaker, but also a full-back who can give Evra some breathing room. The names are many and all of the highest quality. They range from Mario Goetze (40 million Bayern's request) to Julian Draxler (45 million the release clause set by Schalke), passing through Isco (Real Madrid is asking for 35 million), Oscar (valued at 35 by Chelsea) and Cuadrado (25 -30). On the flanks, however, Alex Sandro of Porto is very popular, the Brazilian left-back capable of playing on the right too: Marotta has already made contact with Pinto da Costa, the deal seems close to being concluded. Then Real Madrid's interest in Llorente must be recorded: the Spaniard, also requested by Tottenham, has already given the ok to the operation.
Hot day also for Inter, very close to closing a double market hit, both incoming and outgoing. A meeting in the Corso Vittorio Emanuele headquarters between Ausilio and a German football intermediary led to significant developments on the Perisic and Shaqiri fronts, at this point inextricably linked. Yes, because in order for the Croatian to be able to wear the Nerazzurri, the Swiss must move to Schalke 04. In this sense, he filters a lot of optimism, so much so that it is reasonable to expect developments in the short term, perhaps as early as today. If Shaqiri accepts the transfer, Inter will immediately transfer the money collected (about 17 million) to Wolfsburg for Perisic, perhaps including Ranocchia, highly esteemed by the German club, in the offer.
Hours of waiting for Milan as well, always very concentrated on Alessio Romagnoli. “Our offer cannot be modified if Roma accept it well if we don't make other evaluations – confirmed Galliani. – We would like to please our coach who, among other things, made a joke that I agree with: 25 million won't be worth a triple zero oyster but it's still a lot…”. The message to Sabatini is loud and clear: Milan don't want to get dragged into an upward game. That's why, while Romagnoli remain the first choice, the Rossoneri are considering the alternatives Maksimovic (Turin) and Savic (Fiorentina). To be recorded then an indiscretion (for now not confirmed) that comes from England, where there is talk of a Liverpool ready to offer 15 million for Menez.
