Juve transfer market: Milinkovic and Savicresta first goal, hopes for Pogba

TURIN. Paul Pogba sweats on the Continassa fields, he wants to be ready for the start of a season that will have to sanction a turning point after the problems and oblivion. He is determined and his agent Rafaela Pimenta reiterated it yesterday in a new meeting with the managers. The Arab sirens, however, continue to sound: the midfielder ignores them and does not waver, however a small question mark flashes because the sovereign wealth fund that manages the main Saudi League clubs has infinite resources and can reshape the offers making them indispensable. Juve, trusting in full recovery, counts a lot on the Octopus, but even in the event of a farewell, at the remote moment, or delay in condition as a aftermath of physical problems, they would not be unprepared: the negotiation for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in fact proceeds independently, untied that is, from the future of the former Manchester United, and if the president Claudio Lotito lowers the demands – difficult not to do so in the absence of renewal and with the contract expiring in a year – the operation will close. Juventus likes the player, on whom Inter has in the meantime kept quiet, and has already identified Luca Pellegrini as a counterpart to mitigating the outlay: «Sarri would be very happy to keep him after he has seen his qualities. There are still some quibbles to sort out, but the boy would be happy to return,” agent Vincenzo Raiola told Sky.

On the second name – Nicolò Rovella – there is no agreement, Juve wanting to keep him, while working on the placement of the redundancies to finance the operation in cash without affecting a suffering balance sheet. The closest to farewell is Denis Zakaria, for whom West Ham has formulated an offer of 19 million including bonuses, while the managers of Weston McKennie – who rejected Galatasaray – establish contacts with Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa and Arthur’s agent, Federico Pastorello, confided to Tuttomercatoweb: “We are working to return to the Premier League”.

Leo Bonucci is also out. Despite the contrary indication of an Instagram story that accompanies a training video with the black and white colors, the captain, aware that he is not central to the plans, is considering the hypothesis of leaving Turin to find the continuity necessary to keep alive the dream of reach the European Championship in the blue shirt. Newcastle knocked, polls also from a couple of Ligue1 clubs. Operations set up by Giovanni Manna and carried out now with the coordination of Cristiano Giuntoli, naturally operational even if the signature on the contract will only arrive today. —
