The transfer market never stops: who is the latest player targeted by big teams across Europe? Is there any news on the renewals of the most important players? Some luxury free agent about to find a place? Here are reported and commented by us the three most interesting news on the latest market movements collected from the newspapers on newsstands this morning and from the various specialized sites, in Serie A and abroad.
Milan: Pioli says goodbye, Fonseca “warms up”.
Today’s Gazzetta dello Sport is dedicated to the imminent change of bench at Milan: Stefano Pioli and the Rossoneri should announce today that they are saying goodbye after a consensual termination agreement. Paulo Fonseca is getting closer and closer.
Our opinion: On Saturday evening there will be an opportunity to say goodbye as we see Stefano Pioli, the coach who – let’s not forget – brought the Devil a championship against all odds: against Salernitana the last act of a story that lasted almost five years will take place (he took the team in hand in November in the post Giampaolo) and full of positive emotions. The Milan squad has grown together with its coach, but now the cycle is over and it is right to leave the reins to someone else. Paulo Fonseca? Milan appreciates his ability to deal with young people: his experiences with Shakhtar, Roma and Lille show that the Portuguese coach is very prepared and knows how to impose his own idea. Of course, Milan is no longer the youngest squad in the championship, as it was a few years ago: the fans, rightly, demand immediate results and still turn up their noses at these “foreign-loving” names (first Lopetegui then Fonseca) . Obviously the first choice of the Rossoneri people would remain Antonio Conte, who at the moment keeps a low profile with everyone, even with Napoli, another candidate to welcome him to their throne.
Lookman is now worth 50 million: Barcelona are also following him
Lookman scored three goals, deciding the final in favor of Atalanta. As reported by Sport, the footballer has attracted the attention of Barcelona observers, who are looking for a striker with his characteristics.
Our opinion: Ademola Lookman is obviously on everyone’s lips: no one can have missed the performance of the 26-year-old striker who the Dea took from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2022 for 9.35 million euros plus bonuses. Three splendidly crafted goals, which obviously caused his market prices to soar: he started at 30 million, now he could easily reach 50. It’s right to take advantage of it: if Barcelona really arrived, why say no? After all, Gasperini has already shown that he knows how to start from the players he has at his disposal. It wouldn’t be strange at all to see the Dea’s current reserve striker, El Bilal Touré, grow up “Lookman-style”. As long as Gasp is still on the Bergamo bench.
Lautaro’s agent: “He loves Inter, he doesn’t want him to talk to other clubs. But the salary must be adapted to the market”
“Lautaro Martinez wants to stay at Inter with all his heart. But an agreement must be found that satisfies all parties involved”. This is the thought expressed by Alejandro Camaño, the Argentine’s agent, to FcInterNews. “More than ten million per season? It doesn’t matter the amount of the agreement. Things change over time. Lautaro today is one of the top scorers in Europe, so we will need an agreement that makes everyone happy”
Our opinion: The Lautaro Martinez renewal issue is taking center stage, today more than ever. The Argentine is the stone on which Inter of the Scudetto is founded and can only be the basis on which to build the Inter of the future. The contract until 2026 leaves one fairly calm but there is a new atmosphere in the Nerazzurri environment, given the recent change of ownership: it remains to be verified what the intentions of the new arrivals are and how much and how they want to invest in the Nerazzurri club. The words of Lautaro’s agent go exactly in this sense: it’s true, Lauti loves Inter and would like to stay there for a long time to come, as long as the conditions are those befitting a captain and an absolute top scorer in Serie A. “We will need an agreement that makes everyone happy. We would like to stay for life. I hope and believe it can be like this“. If there is the will, there is everything.
