The swap between AC Milan and city rivals Inter involving 30 year old Antonio Cassano and 27 year old Giampaolo Pazzini seems, as reported by Sky Sport, always more probable: the rossoneri are thinking about an exchange of loans, while the nerazzurri for Pazzini require Cassano plus 8 or 9 million euros, or could sign the player no matter what will happen to their forward. Interviewed by Mediaset, Milan Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has confirmed that there is a negotiation going on, while coach Massimiliano Allegri has declared that he can’t keep Cassano against his will and that his team needs a center forward.  Regarding the defense, OM 22 year old Nicolas N’Koulou has confirmed that he could leave the French club, while, regarding the possible departures, also Fiorentina, in addition to Torino, are keen on 27 year old left back Djamel Mesbah.

According to La Gazzetta Sportiva, 25 year old forward Edinson Cavani wants to meet next week Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis to talk about his new contract. The player is tempted by Chelsea, who are ready to offer 35 million euros to the Italian club, but to let the Uruguay national leave De Laurentiis requires at least 50 millions. As reported by Il Mattino, Napoli are interested again in Real Madrid 22 year old midfielder Nuri Sahin, while for the defense the new name is the one of Cologne 27 year old Pedro Geromel.
