Inter: duel with Arsenal for Markovic; Mariga to Russia? Juve: Walcott always closer
As reported earlier today, the negotiation for the signing of Corinthians 24 year old midfielder Paulinho risks to become extremely difficult for Inter Milan, and the alternative to the Brazil national could be Schalke 04 22 year old Lewis Holtby, whose contract with the German club will expire at the end of the current season. Still regarding the midfield, interviewed by calcissimo.com, FIFA agent Peppino Tirri has confirmed to have offered Shakhtar Donetsk 24 year old Willian to the nerazzurri as well as to AC Milan and Juventus; on the contrary, 25 year old McDonald Mariga could move to Dynamo Moscow, even if his agent Federico Pastorello has declared to Izvestia that before making any decision his client will first talk to coach Andrea Stramaccioni. Stramaccioni indeed, after the Europa League game against Partizan Belgrade, has admitted to admire the Serbian team’s forward Lazar Markovic, but also Arsenal seem particularly interested in the 18 year old.
