Juventus: still seeking a striker. AC Milan: last offer for Kakà; Abate to Zenit?
Despite the signing of 33 year old Nicolas Anelka, who has finally received the transfer and will be able to play in the next Serie A game against Chievo, Juventus keep on seeking a forward: as reported earlier, the signing of Mario Balotelli by AC Milan, could ease the transfer of 28 year old Giampaolo Pazzini to the bianconeri, while, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Piedmontese club is ready to make a last desperate attempt for Lyon 29 year old Lisandro Lopez, even if the Gones, as confirmed to calciomercato.com by their General Manager Bernard Lacombe, don’t seem intentioned to yield the player. The task seems them extremely hard, even because, still according to “La Gazzetta”, the Serie A defending champions have renounced to Genoa 22 year old Ciro Immobile and to call back from Bologna 21 year old Manolo Gabbiadini. Moreover, Fiorentina Sports Director Daniele Pradé has declared to Radio Blu that his club is not interested in 29 year old forward Fabio Quagliarella and that 23 year old Stevan Jovetic won’t leave.
22 year old striker Mario Balotelli has just arrived in Italy, and has expressed all his happiness to join his dream team. But the surprises for the rossoneri might not be over: as highlighted by calciomercato.com, in fact, despite the interest of Anzhi Makhachkala, the Lombard club is ready to make a last offer to Real Madrid for 30 year old attacking midfielder Ricardo Kakà. Regarding the possible departures, Zenit St. Petersburg seem still interested in 26 year old right back Ignazio Abate.
