In this period of the season the market begins to heat up, the clubs make some important choices regarding the bench and also the staff. It’s the right time to try to close some operations, for example those for players who go in expires at the end of June.
There are several interesting deals at “zero parameter”, Milan is evaluating some names to strengthen themselves, even if it is not yet completely clear who will lead the team. There are many rumors that Julen Lopetegui will replace Stefano Pioli, but in any case the squad needs to be improved in every department and it will be interesting to see what choices will be made in the incoming transfer market.
Milan, Barcelona accelerates: scoreless
There are several names linked to Milan in recent months. A couple play for Real Betis: Juan Miranda And Guido Rodriguez. The first is a left back and seemed like a target already for January, when around 4 million euros would have been enough to secure him, but then the Rossoneri club decided not to sink and it seems that he is no longer on the list of targets.
The other is an Argentine midfielder, with an Italian passport, aged 30 and also the Naples had put him in his sights. Despite the polls from Serie A, his future should still be in La Liga. In fact, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Barcelona have got their hands on Rodriguez. There is a verbal agreement for a two-year contract with an option for a further year. Nothing has been signed, because details are still missing to definitively close the deal.
Real Betis had tried to keep the former River Plate player, but he wants a change of scenery and test himself at a higher level. Barcelona is certainly a very welcome destination and would allow him both to remain in a league that he already knows and to take an important step in his career. For Rodriguez it would be the opportunity of a lifetime and he will try to exploit it, if he actually ends up in Xavi’s team.
Milan And Naples they are behind in the race for the midfielder, who has also had experience in his career Mexico with Club Tijuana and Club America. It was there that Real Betis went to find him in January 2020, spending just 4 million euros.
