Introduction and Focus on Italian Football
00:00:05
Speaker
Hello, everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Italian football podcast. My name is Niemata allo Ruzzari. And as we said last week, we will for the next few weeks do interview interview episodes where we focus on the Mercato and specifically teams.
Italian Transfers with Nicolas Quira
00:00:21
Speaker
But today we are joined by a very good friend of the show. He's been with us before to do a Mercato deep dive on many teams in Italy.
00:00:29
Speaker
He's an Italian journalist who's worked for pretty much every outlet there is. He's currently with Il Giornale, I think, and Il Giorno. He writes his on dry. He's everywhere. Welcome back, Mr. Nicolas Quira. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, everyone. It's a pleasure being here with you. And thank you for inviting me. I'm ready.
00:00:53
Speaker
Let's do it. And I'm ready to answer to all the. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's go.
Lautaro Martinez: Arsenal and Spurs' Interest
00:01:05
Speaker
I mean, let's start with Inta because there's so much being written right now and a lot of it is kind of hard to understand what's going on. Let's start with Lautaro Martinez. There's been there's been talks that Arsenal and Spurs are interested in him.
00:01:20
Speaker
and Inter are only willing to let him go for cash. I mean, what's the situation? And also because of his contract talks that they don't want to do, or he wants more money than Inter are prepared to give. Let's start there. What's the situation with Laotaro? Will he stay at Inter? Is there an interest from Arsenal? For Inter, Laotaro is off of the market, but his cloud relates close
00:01:47
Speaker
as a spear the last 7th of July. Still, we know Sunin's difficult, so it's clear that if a special offer comes, it would be taken seriously by Inter. We are talking about at least on 19 million euros of
00:02:16
Speaker
Arsenal want him, but Gunners are not playing in the Champions League, so London is not Lautau's first choice. Instead, he would prefer to go to Atletico Madrid, where Simeone is waiting for him.
00:02:42
Speaker
since three years ago, when Lautaro played for Russian Avijaneda, and Asletkomadrid wanted him, but Inter closed his deal for 25 million. At Inter, he earned just 2.2 million plus bonuses.
00:03:12
Speaker
And he wants more. He would like to earn seven or eight million. But in there don't have this money in this particularly period after covid.
Inter's Transfer Targets: Bellerin and Lukaku
00:03:29
Speaker
For sure. I mean, another arsenal link is Hector Bellerin. And there's also been been been rumors of PSVs, Denzel Dumfries and and also Calgari's Knight Anandas.
00:03:39
Speaker
who Inter and Calgari seem to never be able to find an agreement for. I mean, which of these players is closer to Inter and do you think any of them will sign for Inter? So, Inter likes a lockdown phrase. It was the first choice, but he caused too much and the PSU only want to sell him on a permanent deal. No loan with option to buy.
00:04:09
Speaker
only a permanent deal for 15 or 18 million. So Knight and Nandeth is the favorite to dress the interior, say, in the next season, because the salary has opened to sell in on loan with option, not obligation, but option to buy. OK.
00:04:34
Speaker
And I mean, there have been reports in several media that Arsenal have opened up to accepting Hector Bellerin in terms of a loan plus option to buy. Yes, but Bellerin is the third choice in this moment. It's a plane C, a plane R. The plane R is
00:05:04
Speaker
is down for it, but it's a very difficult deal. None of it is a thing, but there are a good possibility to finalize the deal, and the yearning is a plan. OK, I got it, got it. Well, let's just today and for a few days now, and this only comes from England, only media in England talks about this, that Chelsea
00:05:32
Speaker
will be able to, in the end, sign Romelu Lukaku from Inter. Now Italian media, everyone in Italy says this is not true, Lukaku wants to stay, Inter don't want to sell. What have you heard? Nicolo, did you hear me? Yes, yes. Sorry, I'm not a colleague.
00:05:57
Speaker
No, no, I said, Romelu, British media are all saying for quite a few days now that Chelsea are interested and will be able to sign Romelu Lukaku, whilst Italian media say it's not going... Yeah. It's very clear. Inter don't want to sell Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku is 50 million.
00:06:24
Speaker
Lukaku wants to continue his adventure at Inter because I think Lukaku will stay at Inter. That's what I think as well, a lot of people, a lot of Inter fans will be happy to hear this. There's also the situation of Marcelo Brozovic and Stefan Defray and their contracts, contract renewal. What can you say about that?
Inter's Contract Renewals: Brozovic and De Vrij
00:06:53
Speaker
On the next days, they are going to talk about the renewal of Marcevo Brodwich. Brodwich feels good at Inter want to keep him. It's going to ask 5.5 or 6 million a year. Inter going to offer 4.5 million. Let's see what happens. But Brodwich
00:07:22
Speaker
who would like to stay at the inter, even if he wants an important salary as a top player. Instead, Stephen de Vrai, Inter and Simon Inzaghi don't want to sell him. He is considered not transferable.
00:07:48
Speaker
They say that you want to renew, but until 2025, but at the moment, that's just a problem. It's not a sinning and in the in the customer market, it's not
00:08:15
Speaker
satisfied for a player. No, that's true. The contract, signed contracts are what matters. They are the most important thing. So if we look at Raja Naingolan, he's been rumored to Kalyari and it seems that that deal is connected to the Nahita Nandes deal. Well, what can you tell us
Nainggolan's Potential Move to Cagliari
00:08:40
Speaker
about that? Will he join Kalyari? Is it part of the Nahita Nandes deal? What's going on?
00:08:46
Speaker
Yes, for sure. Inter will be free for free. At the end of the summer, according to Mina and Golan, we will be back in Calyria and we will be at Calyria. But in this moment,
00:09:10
Speaker
He's going to review his contract because he earns too much for Julini. Nangolan, to be clear, earns 5.8 million at the winter. His contract with Inter expression in 2020.
00:09:35
Speaker
to 22, but Kalyari can give him only 1.5 million a year because he could spread his salary on two or three years. And at this moment, there are a distance between nine grand requests and
00:10:04
Speaker
I think at the end of the summer an agreement will be reached. Let's move to Juve and Juventus. The big talking point about Juventus is the status of Manuel Locatelli. Will he join Juve and what's going on? Can we have an update? What's happening there?
Juventus' New Additions: Locatelli and Caio Jorge
00:10:33
Speaker
I'm pretty sure Locatelli will play in Juventus in the next year and I think an agreement will be reached. Locatelli wants to join Bianconeri, he wants to be played by Massimilian Allegri and Locatelli as already
00:11:04
Speaker
an agreement with Bianconeri for a contract until 2026 by 3 million for a year.
00:11:16
Speaker
you're going to sense a swallow going to find a deal this week, probably. And on this Wednesday, there will be a new meeting between the U.N. swallow to try to finalize an agreement.
00:11:37
Speaker
OK, but what about all the rumors that surround Miralem Pianic? Because there's talk of him going to Inter, but that he wants Juva first and that Juva are interested. I mean, will they take Pianic and Locatelli or Locatelli or Pianic? Locatelli and Pianic in Max Allegri dreams.
00:12:05
Speaker
But because Pianic is not in the Cuman and the Bartas plants, he wants to live, and Miron and Pianic want to come back to Yugue, which would like to take him for free on Luan and not a permanent deal.
00:12:33
Speaker
No. I think Barca will give to green light, to its departure on low end within August because it's a pianist.
00:12:54
Speaker
and they don't have a good relationship. The club, you and Barcelona, will talk next week and then they could find a situation agreement probably at
00:13:22
Speaker
at the end on the Gomper trophy. So finally about Juve, I wanted to ask you about Caio Giorge. What's the status there? Because there was talk of Milan as well. It's a dandel, Caio Giorge will play for Juventus.
00:13:51
Speaker
He will arrive at Turin within Thursday. Juventus are going to play 2.5 million, plus 1.5 million as bonuses to Santos. Santos will have the 5% on a future scene, an important step to finalize the deal.
00:14:20
Speaker
Caio Giorgio will see a contrast until 2026. He will earn 1.5 million plus bonuses. It's a good deal because he's one of the most important young strikers on the American football.
00:14:47
Speaker
Milan, Benfica, Bayard de Vercous and were interested in him, but Juventus agreed personally with the player and now are finalizing the deal with Santos, will be a new Bianco Neri's player.
00:15:09
Speaker
Let's move to Napoli. And Spalletti is a big fan of Emerson Palmieri. We know this. We know that Napoli need to sign a left-back. What's the situation? What's the situation with Emerson Palmieri? I think they are pretty close. Yes, so I took him, doesn't want him to stay.
00:15:36
Speaker
And Emmer Supernier wanted to come back to Italy. He wanted to come back to Syria. And he wanted to join Spaletti's squad, because Spaletti was the coach at the Roman Steins.
00:15:59
Speaker
who changed the career of Amherson. I hope to me this deal is going to be real soon. OK, that's great for Napoli. And I think that's great for Amherson as well. Another player that they've been linked to a lot, and that's also because Paletti likes him, and especially after the injury of Demme, is Inters Matias Vasino.
00:16:29
Speaker
Is there, you know, what's the status there? Coach Spaletti knows him very well, very, very well. Spaletti wanted the casino at the Inter three years ago. And at now, this is an idea, an amazing idea for Napoli, for Spaletti, but at this moment,
00:16:56
Speaker
no talks ongoing between Napoli and Inter, only... Napoli are monitoring this situation about the visit. I've asked him for a forum with his agent Alessandro Ducci, but now open... but don't open talks officially.
00:17:25
Speaker
Okay. Just finally about Napoli, what other players are they interested in and which other players do you think will leave? And there's even been talk of Maximovich coming back. Maximovich gone.
00:17:40
Speaker
have extended his contract with Napoli. He could go to Premier League teams or Spanish teams such as with them or Sevilla have asked him for him. About Napoli, Berger and Tamara are ideas for the midfield.
00:18:10
Speaker
Koulibaly instead could live for 15, 50 millions, the same for Fabian Royds, but at this moment, Napoli are waiting for an officially live, let's see if they will arrive or not.
00:18:42
Speaker
Yeah, no, that's a good point. Let's move to Lazio, because Lazio is having an exciting summer in terms of the project there with, what's his name, with Maurizio Sarri coming there. There's been talk of Giardina Shaqiri coming to Lazio. I mean, is that just rumors or is there actual something happening? Oh, Lazio are very focused on him.
00:19:11
Speaker
contacts as well as with postage, break-aloe and the coup. But last year, after to close new meetings, they can realize an important capital gains with the sale of Korea.
00:19:41
Speaker
That's true. And that was just my next question. What's the status of Joaquin Correa? Joaquin Correa, I mean, there's been talk of PSG. We know that he was close to them, but then they pulled out or something. The deal never materialized. And now there's talk of if Laotaro leaves Inter, that Inter wants Correa. So what's the status? What do you think will happen with Correa? Many clubs have shown interest for
00:20:09
Speaker
they are looking at a player, but no made an official bid to Laxio. Laxio asked 35 million to sell him. At this moment, Iza Gentelucci and Leonardo were in touch
00:20:36
Speaker
But PSG don't have... don't make a bid. They offer... they have offered an exchange with Abu Sarabia, but that's so on the money to say...
00:21:01
Speaker
Now we will see if an offer will actually be made or not. There's also been rumors of Philip Kostich from Eintracht Frankfurt to Lazio. Is that just rumors or what's the status there? No, no, no. He talks on going between Isaac and Farir Ahmadani to try
00:21:27
Speaker
to finalize this deal on loan with option to buy, which could become an obligation upon reaching certain conditions. Isadj and Karamadani, as met last year, Saudi Latino president and sports director, Iglitare, on this Saturday,
00:21:55
Speaker
and last Saturday. And Bianco Celeste really likes Kosti, who wants to live and would like to join Bianco Celeste. Let's see, because I in fact are looking
00:22:21
Speaker
Auge from AC Milan as a possible replacement. OK, that's that's a good.
Granit Xhaka's Contract Status at Arsenal
00:22:31
Speaker
That's interesting. Yesterday, Arsenal coach Michael Arterta pretty much destroyed any rumor that Granichaka could leave Arsenal to join Roma. What do you think? Is that just him saying that to get Roma to pay more or
00:22:49
Speaker
Is this the transfer really dead? Will Chaka stay at Arsenal now? This deal is collapsed because Gannik Chaka will stay at Arsenal. I think he will extend his contract until 2025. He will earn
00:23:14
Speaker
A new salary by 3.2 million a year. And now, Estheroma will try to see a new midfielder. Cop Miners can
00:23:40
Speaker
can be the good name for them, but also Atalanta are also interested in the Dutch mid-feder. Yeah, I was going to tell, I'm glad you mentioned Atalanta, just a few more questions. I mean, there's been a lot of talk of Romero going to Tottenham, and Atalanta, you know, they will need to replace him.
Atalanta's Transfers: Romero and Demiral
00:24:05
Speaker
I mean, who do you think? Is it Sven Botemann, Demiral?
00:24:10
Speaker
Romero goes to Tottenham. Who do you think Atalanta will go after? Demiral or Botman? The first choice of coach Gasperini is Marie Demiral. You went to sack 30 million to seal him. Atalanta can offer 25 million plus three or five million as bounces.
00:24:41
Speaker
Midevial is still the first choice of Ataranta as possible, the replacement of Romero, who is almost done to talk to him because Romero is pushing to live, is pushing to join Spurs.
00:25:07
Speaker
agreed personal terms with Spurs for a five-year contract with a salary of three million net a year, plus many, many bonuses. And I think Atalanta will give them
00:25:36
Speaker
they can enlighten for departure if Tottenham will offer 50 or 55
00:25:54
Speaker
OK, that's that's that's quite that's quite a lot of money. Just before we let you go, just quickly, Milenkovich at Fiorentina and Vlawic at Fiorentina.
Fiorentina's Milenkovic and Vlahovic's Future
00:26:04
Speaker
There's been, you know, this has been the longest talking point in the summer. What do you think? What's the status and what's going to happen for Milenkovich and Vlawic?
00:26:12
Speaker
Jankovic will leave because he has decided to leave and he has reacted a bit to extend his contract with the Fiorentina experience next year. About Vlawic, Fiorentina would not want to sell him, but at this moment,
00:26:42
Speaker
There is no agreement about contest extension. Fiorentina has offered a new salary of three millions a year. But Blau which is reflecting about this bid and he would like to see Fiorentina and
00:27:11
Speaker
the movement about on the market by the other. According to me, Grawic don't extend his contract this summer and this is a situation not changed in
00:27:34
Speaker
in this in this month but it also will continue in the autumn or winter. Okay, where do you think Milankovitch will go?
00:27:51
Speaker
You can be a replacement of the mural if the mural lives for Juventus. It's a plain B of Tottenham, but Romeo is still the first choice of Paris. He has a new centre back.
00:28:20
Speaker
Of course. With them, the author had 16 million to sell, to see him, but I think to sell him at 20 million at least. Okay, just last question, final one.
Sassuolo's Transfers: Berardi and Boga
00:28:42
Speaker
Jeremy Boga, Domenico Berardi, at Sasolo. What's the situation? Will they stay?
00:28:49
Speaker
I think Domenico Biardi can say because he has a fantastic relationship with the Swallow, he loves Swallow and Swallow has 40 or 45 million tools to sell him the price inside.
00:29:15
Speaker
Even if the hardies are fantastic, it's an amazing play, but this prize is high. About Bogat, does Perini want him as a replacement of Yothi Pighicic, who he lived this summer? And I think Bogat, to Ataranta, is a possibility and
00:29:44
Speaker
Boca will leave, he wants to leave, he wants to play with the Champions League and the talent will be the perfect solution for him and
00:30:09
Speaker
That's great. Thank you so much, Nicola. I can recommend everyone to follow Nicola Skira on Twitter and on Instagram. And if you're into Fanta Calcho, then definitely follow Nicola, because he is amazing at Fanta Calcho. One of the best out there. Thank you so much for coming on, Nicola. It's been a pleasure for me. I hope to come back soon. Bye-bye. Thank you. See you later.
00:30:37
Speaker
