“Inter and Martinez betrothed.” This is the title of Tuttosport on the internal pages. The negotiations with Genoa will be finalized this week. Inter are close to finalizing the deal for Josep Martinez, valued at around 15 million euros. Even if the negotiation is well underway, it cannot yet be considered concluded, as the economic aspect regarding the evaluation of the players who will move to Genoa as part of the operation remains to be defined. Gaetano Oristanio is Genoa’s most appreciated footballer. The youngster, after a year in Cagliari, was not bought out by the Sardinian club, who could have acquired his contract for 4 million euros, despite a counter-buyout in favor of Inter. The Sardinians would prefer a discount and are interested in a further loan of the player, who Venezia also likes. However, it seems that Genoa is the most likely option. Another youngster appreciated by Gilardino is Martin Satriano, whose value is estimated at 10 million euros, but he will not be involved in the Martinez deal as Genoa’s attacking positions are already covered by Retegui and Vitinha. The arrival of the Uruguayan could overload the department. Zanotti is also worth keeping an eye on, followed by Lugano and other Swiss and German clubs, as well as the Esposito brothers.
