Last night’s defeat against Juventus was probably expected, but, as highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport, in the last ten games Inter Milan have obtained only eight points: according to the Corriere dello Sport, the team’s coach Walter Mazzarri is partly gulty; as highlighted by calciomercato.com, if he won’t obtain some positive results in the next two games against Sassuolo and Fiorentina, the 52 year old could even be fired: despite the official denials, the club’s president Erick Thohir is already thinking about the eventual substitute of the Tuscan coach: his dream remains the former nerazzurri midfielder Diego Simeone, actually training Atletico Madrid, while some more credible options are Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup, Ajax 43 year old Frank De Boer and the current coach of the Italian national team Cesare Prandelli. Moreover, as reported in the last days, 25 year old center back Andrea Ranocchia seemed intended to join Galatasaray, but, as confimed yesterday to NTV Spor by the Turkish club president Unal Aysal, the negotiation has failed: as revealed by calciomercato.com transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the reasons of the failure was the salary of the Italy international, who will then remain at “San Siro”.

As anticipated yesterday, Arsenal are keen on AC Milan 23 year old striker Mario Balotelli: according to Tuttosport, Chelsea are ready to join the city rivals in the hunt for the Italy international. Meanwhile, the club’s Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has confirmed that the signing of Chievo 26 year old goalkeeper Michael Agazzi is an option but has denied that there is already an agreement for the player.
