CM EXCLUSIVE: Juve in talks with El Shaarawy
Trouble is, the Rouges et Blancs would only be obliged to cough up only if ElSha plays 25 games for them, whihc may explain why Coach Leonardo Jardim has suddenly benched him, 24 games in.
This impasse has irritated Milan’s Chief Executive Adriano Galliani, who has publicly expressed disappointment at this supposed chicanery.
The player is unhappy too, so much so that he's held talks with his former boss Massimiliano Allegri, now at Juventus.
A transfer to Turin would be ideal for the former Genoa man, who still hopes to play in the next European Championships, to be ironically held in France in June 2016.
Such a solution wouldn’t be ideal for Milan, but Galliani has yet to exclude it. It wouldn't be ideal for The Pharaoh either, a major roadblock being Allegri's inability to guarantee a starting berth with the Old Lady. However, Simone Zaza could leave, Juventus need someone who plays on the wing, and Allegri is obviously a fan of the young Azzurro.
Galliani's already refused an offer from Genoa, despite the fact that the Marassi is a good place to resurrect one's scoring touch (just ask Marco Borriello!). Other clubs interested: Roma and Fiorentina.
