AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus Tickets
The arrival of former Ac Milan and Inter Milan’s tactician, Leonardo, at Paris Saint-Germain, opens the door for Serie A based players to the French outfit and after Salvatore Sirigu and Javier Pastore, another talent reportedly is set to follow.
According to Italian media, the player that will soon join the two former Palermo stars in Paris, is Federico Balzaretti, who is also a Rossonaro and Italian national team left winger.
Serie A Saturday fixtures yesterday left a bitter experience for two Serie A top teams, Inter Milan and Napoli, as both picked up a defeat while in the other hand, Ac Milan revived themselves by getting a convincing victory.
The Nerazzurri didn’t share the same result as their their city rival this weekend after being pinned back by Catania 2-1, while Napoli surprisingly were beaten by struggling Parma at San Paolo. Milan, who looked to finally found their best suited formation trashed Palermo 3-0 in San Siro, with former Rossanero man, Antonio Nocerino played an important part.
According to Transfermarkt, Juventus was the big spender in this summers transfer market, spending 85.7 million euros in total as the club completed full acquisitions on a number of players including Alessandro Matri and Fabio Quagliarella, who will be joined by fresh faces Arturo Vidal, Mirko Vucinic, Eljero Elia, Stephan Lichtsteiner and potentially the best deal, Andrea Pirlo, who arrived from Milan on a free transfer.
Roma’s new owner Thomas DiBenedetto didn’t take long to open his check book as the club spent 78.3 million euros to sign Bojan Krkic, Erik Lamela, Miralem Pjanic, Simon Kjaer, Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, Maarten Stekelenburg, as well as Gabriel Heinze on a free and Fernando Gago on loan.
Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini said sacked Stefano Pioli just three months into the job as he believed he had lost the support of the players.
With the team yet to play a Serie A game due to a strike postponing the opening weekend of fixtures, Zamparini’s stance appears surprising. However, he insists he acted swiftly in the best interests of the club.
“I saw that the team was no longer following the coach, so I had to intervene and sack him,” Zamparini said. “There was no confidence in him and I was worried that we would be heading in the wrong direction.”
Another interesting twist occurred in Serie A transfer market, notably known as”calciomercato’, after the latest report suggested that Cesare Bovo, who supposedly only a medical away from signing with Fiorentina, was hijacked by Genoa.
The Griffone have even confirmed that the currently still Palermo player will be joining the Marassi’s side training program ahead of the new season as the Sicilian club already allowed Bovo to join Alberto Malesani’s team
Despite rumors about the potential departures of their star players such as Alberto Gilardino and Riccardo Montolivo, Fiorentina keeps on making their own moves in the transfer market, with the latest news suggesting they are close to announce the arrival of defender, Cesare Bovo.
The former Palermo player’s arrival has been expected by the Italian media in the last few days, especially after the Rossanero signed another defender, Mattias Silvestre, from Catania.
Italian teams credibility in Europe gets another negative points as one of the representatives in the Europa League this season, Palermo, have to make an early exit from the competition after only managed to pick up a draw against their opponent, FC Thun. One goal from Pablo Gonzales isn’t enough to fly the Sicilian into the next round as the Swiss outfit grabbed an equalized that simply ended Frabrizio Micolli and co’s journey.
In the supposedly last year of the transfer market before FIFA implements the famous financial fair play, huge money signing still colored the football world as reports confirming that 43 million Euro is set to come out for the service of Palermo’s Javier Pastore.
Newly cash-loaded Frech side, Paris Saint-Germain is the club being confirmed as the Argentinian starlet’s buyer, a deal reportedly only lacking official statement from both PSG and Palermo, apparently could become the largest money signing so far this summer should the deal gets finalized.
Genoa’s interest on Palermo’s keeper, Salvatore Sirigu, might not materialized at all after latest reports from Italy suggested that newly rich French outfit, Paris Saint-Germain, have already made an interesting offer for the Italian international keeper.
Reports from TMW claimed that PSG sent a 3,5 million Euro offer for Sirigu to the Sicilian and ready to give the keeper a four year deal, worth about 1,5 million Euro per-season.
Disappointed with the contribution of their Portuguese keeper, Eduardo, who has been sent to Benfica this summer, Genoa confirmed that they are seriously eying a new quality goalie for the new season and the likes of Sebastian Frey along with Salvatore Sirigu becomes the top candidates.
The revealing of those two names are more than just media speculation as the Griffonne’s president, Enrico Preziosi, already confirmed the club’s interest on the two keepers adding that one of them could arrive by the end of the week.
