Daily Transfer Rumours – June 25-26
- Mediaset: Mudingayi close, there will be an agreement
Albano Guaraldi, Bologna president, has made it clear that Gaby Mudingayi could soon be an Inter player as the Nerazzurri have been wanting him for some time. According to Sport Mediaset, both clubs will find an agreement without problems.
Meanwhile, the Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Mudingayi could be with the team as early as mid July in Pinzolo for training camp.
“Inter already have the Belgian midfielder in their hands and could have the player already in Pinzolo. The problem? As revealed by the Bologna president, Albano Guardaldi: ‘We will only talk after the sentences of the betting scandal.’ So is everything suspended? Yes, it won’t be a big deal.”
- Genoa President: “Destro either to Siena or Genoa”
“My position is quite clear. Destro will not play with another shirt other than that of Siena.” That was Genoa president Enrico Preziosi to Tutto Mercato Web after the Bianconeri decided to exercise their option of getting half of Destro.
Siena sporting director, Antonelli, said that it is a utopia for his club to keep the player.
“I do not have to answer to Antonelli. I will reiterate that the player for me can only wear the shirt of Siena or Genoa. There are no other possibilities.”
What if, presented to Siena, is an interesting offer from other clubs?
“Siena will not sale. To me, the player can only wear those two shirts.”
- Agent: “Destro’s future already decided. Roma? Nothing…”
Mattia Destro and the future? It has already been decided. To ensure, this is his agent Renzo Contratto to RomaNews.
Are you still in contacts with Roma. Could Destro end up here?
“No, there is no contact of any kind and I have never heard from sporting director Sabatini.”
What other teams are interested in the player?
“He is a player that has many requests and not just from Italy but also from abroad.”
So where would the player want to go?
“The player has in mind what he wants to do and has already decided his future. I cannot say more at this moment and in the coming days, we will know more about this situation.”
- Stramaccioni wants to keep Longo and Sneijder
Andrea Stramaccioni would like to keep two players: Samuele Longo and Wesley Sneijder. For the first one, there are many offers from teams in Serie A like Bologna and Atalanta but the Inter coach seems determined to focus on him as well as Philippe Coutinho.
For Sneijder, the issue is more complex. His high salary of 6 million net per season could force Inter to sell. A sale, for now, seems not very likely because there is no offer. Something that makes Stramaccioni happy.
- Lucio’s agent in Turkey, meeting with Fenerbahce on wednesday
Lucio’s agent, Sandro Becker, has arrived in Turkey and it is the Turkish press that has ensured us the presence of Becker in Istanbul. A meeting is expected to be on Wednesday between Lucio’s representative and Fenerbahce directors. Inter are waiting for his sale to free up payroll.
- Sky: Paulinho waiting for Inter
Gianluca Di Marzio has updated us on all negotiations regarding Inter.
“For Lucio, the final outcome of negotiations with Fenerbahce is not obvious but there is confidence between the Turks and agent Becker to find an agreement. And at that point, Inter would go straight to Silvestre. For the Argentinian, the agreement has been reached. No movement at this time for other possible sales such as Julio Cesar, Maicon, Pazzini and Forlan. Coming in, there is Paulinho who has said no to other clubs and is waiting for Inter.”
- Sky: Watch out for Cissokho if Maicon leaves
Maicon is one of the most likely names that could leave Inter this summer and so, the Nerazzurri have been searching for a replacement and there are many names such as Kolarov and Debuchy. And now, adding to that list, is Aly Cissokho, Lyon left-back. According to reports, there have already been contacts between Inter management and the player’s agent. If Maicon leaves, a very likely scenario, Inter could turn their attention to Cissokho.
“There is also Inter for Aly Cissokho. The left-back is on his way out of Olympique Lyon and now Inter are thinking of this solution. However, the Nerazzurri must sell Maicon first and then get serious for Cissokho. Even Napoli are interested but before anything, they want to sell Dossena. For Inter, if a left-back arrives, Zanetti and Jonathan will be right-backs while the newcomer will start on the left with Nagatomo as an alternative. For the right side, Debuchy remains a possibility while Cissokho is not the only candidate for the left because there is also Kolarov. For the Serbian, there is no agreement with Manchester City who is asking for 12 million.”
- Roma are serious, meeting planned for Destro
A meeting has been planned for Mattia Destro. Roma are serious and ready to strike. It is no secret that Roma are interested in the Italian and the Giallorossi would like to acquire Destro as a gift to Zeman. According to Sky, sporting directors of both clubs will start negotiating in a meeting between tomorrow or Wednesday. The Gialorrossi will try for Destro via Siena, the club that recently acquired half of the player. Inter, meanwhile, have a strong agreement with Genoa. So this situation remains in balance.
- Moratti: “Sell before buy”
In just a few words, Massimo Moratti has basically summed up the transfer market strategy for this summer window. “There is nothing regarding the transfer market, there is nothing to say.” This is the thought of the Inter president talking to the press in front of his Saras offices. “Sales first? Absolutely…”
The one prime example of this is the Silvestre situation. A few weeks ago, it seemed all done with Zamparini’s words (“99% chance Silvestre will come to Inter”), but a couple of days ago, the same Zamparini suggested that things are on hold. Why? Well, Inter are waiting to understand what the future of Lucio is. The player’s agent is in Turkey to negotiate with Fenerbahce and once Inter have the green light, incoming transfers will come.
- Milan back in for Silvestre?
Thiago Silva is suddenly back on the market. After the decision of Berlusconi to stop negotiations with PSG for the Brazilian defender and ultimately remove him on the market, Thiago Silva has asked the Rossoneri to have a retouch on his salary (increase). Too high for Milan and everything is now back in question. According to Rai Sport, Galliani will meet Berlusconi to figure out what to do. With this latest development in the Thiago Silva saga, it is believed that Milan, if the sale of Silva comes to tuition, will go directly to Matias Silvestre, one that, according to the same source, Inter have offered 8.2 million for. However, the Rossoneri management believes that they still have some room for negotiation and ready for a transfer market derby.
- Inter said no to Lucio’s request Of Golden Handshake
Lucio is on his way out of Inter and his agent is already working to find him a club in Turkey and today there was an approach from Lucio’s representatives with Inter to see if there is a possibility of a golden handshake (buyout) because the Brazilian’s high salary has slowed down negotiations with Fenerbahce. Inter did not come to an agreement. So if the player has an agreement with the Turkish club, he is free to go but without a buyout.
- Loan requests for Juan Jesus stopped momentarily
Juan Jesus has a lot of interest, especially within Italy, from teams like Catania, Cagliari and Bologna. However, the possible transfer of Juan Jesus has been stopped by Inter, at least momentarily. According to Sky, all the loan requests for the Brazilian defender are now in stand-by because the Nerazzurri want to evaluate the position of Ranocchia and Lucio.
- Agent: “Gomez Has Requests”
Speaking to TMW, Leo Rodriguez, the agent of the Catania talent Alejandro Gomez, discusses the future of his like that is followed by Inter. “Alejandro is a player that is liked and requested (by other clubs). However, we will have to wait because the transfer window has just begun.”
- Bologna want Longo on loan
Inter are considering a loan move for Samuele Longo. According to Sky, the Primavera striker is very appreciated by many clubs , especially Bologna, who is negotiating to bring him to the Rossoblu on loan. Inter are now evaluating this possible solution after acquiring all of Longo from Genoa.
- Inter have decided to keep Ranocchia
Inter have decided to keep Andrea Ranocchia according to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky. There was supposed to be a meeting between Inter and the player’s representatives today (requested by the player’s representatives), but there was no need as Inter are planning to have Ranocchia at the start of the training camp in Pinzolo. An important confirmation in this situation because this gesture would surely give the boy some confidence and he should feel more important and trusted.
If there is a big offer, Inter would still evaluate it (the same goes with every player on the team) but at the moment the message is clear: Andrea Ranocchia is not on the transfer market.
Similar report coming from Mediaset. Inter have decided to remove the defender from the transfer market where he has many admirers in PSG and Manchester City.
