In a fund on the Sports Courier, Ivan Zazzaroni he spoke about the timing of the summer market: “Since last Monday, and in the space of a few hours, Napoli has in fact closed Lukaku and McTominay, while Juve has finally taken Nico, Koopmeiners and Conceiçao, sold Chiesa to Liverpool and De Sciglio to Empoli (and is not finished yet). Milan has added Vos to Fofana and (re)targeted Abraham, Roma has given De Rossi Danso and Abdul and has committed to completing the squad with Koné and Saelemaekers; Atalanta has signed Rui Patricio (for Musso to Atletico) and Kossounou and is now negotiating Raspadori; Bologna has found the missing centre-back, Casale, after having courted in vain – and for weeks – Hummels and Logan Costa (Sartori likes the less frequented markets, however)”.
He continues: “But that’s not all, Fiorentina took home Adli and baby Moreno (Atalanta were also after him) and Inter Palacios. Furthermore, Osimhen has started talking to the Arabs of Al-Ahli. Previously, for a little less than two months, only fluff: two socks, a pair of boxers, slippers for the night, a Neapolitan-style tie and a swimsuit at the outlet for next summer”.
Closing on Juve: “At the center of everything there is punctually Juve: I have the feeling more and more that Scanavino, Giuntoli and Thiago intend to change its history, updating the Boniperti assumption: no longer, winning is the only thing that matters, but breaking even is, to then go back to winning. And this despite a market that has no precedents in the last three years: 200 million spread out like Crema Novi to keep the accounts in order in the immediate. Because there is no future without a present. The objective of the new management is paradoxically very ambitious: to fix the cash and the balance sheet, make three consecutive changes on the pitch, enter the Super Champions every year and lay the foundations for other successes in the space of 36 months”.
