PAPER TALK – Candreva forces Lazio exit, AC Milan’s sale deadline day revealed, Juventus close to signing Benatia
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli have made the best offer so far, but Candreva wants to move to Inter and that’s what his agent Federico Pastorello will tell Claudio Lotito tonight in Bordeaux’s Stadium where they will meet to watch Germany v Italy in the European Championship’s quarter finals.
Candreva only wants to move to Inter and Claudio Lotito has to deal with it. Will he allow the player’s departure for less than € 25 million?
On the other side of Milan, the rossoneri are still negotiating the club’s sale. The new deadline has been set for mid July as Silvio Berlusconi is undergoing rehabilitation after a heart surgery. Berlusconi will be dismissed from Milan’s San Raffaele hospital next week and will consider the Chinese consortium’s offer shortly after his return at home.
Berlusconi seems intentioned to accept the Chinese consortium’s proposal. If Berlusconi will agree to sell the club, he will sign a binding contract with heavy penalties should any of the two parties decide not to close the deal before the 30th of September.
