Juve: no from Drogba; duel with Liverpool for Isco. Milan: Ramos the key for Guardiola
As well known, in the last hours of the Summer transfer window, Juventus have made a desperate attempt to obtain Shanghai Shenhua striker Didier Drogba, and, as reported in the last days, the Serie A champs are ready to swoop again on the 34 year old in January, considering the difficult situation of the Chinese club, but, interviewed by Football Focus, the Ivory Coast national has declared to be happy in China and that he has no intention to leave. As reported yesterday by the Corriere dello Sport, the Piedmontese club’s agent Lorenzo Giani has flown to Spain to observe Malaga 20 year old attacking midfielder Francisco Roman Alarcon Suarez “Isco”, but, according to Metro, also Liverpool are tracking the Spain Under 23 national.
Also AC Milan can say good-bye to one of their “historical” targets: tonight, in fact, 22 year old attacking midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso has left Santos to sign a five-year deal with Sao Paulo FC. In any case, at the moment the priority for the Lombard club is still the position of its coach Massimiliano Allegri. Mauro Tassotti, assistant of the 45 year old, remains the main option in case Allegri will be fired, and, according to Tuttosport, Milan honorary president and major shareholder Silvio Berlusconi has contacted FC Sion midfielder Gennaro Gattuso to ask him if he was available to become Mauro Tassott's assistant , but the former Italy national doesn't seem intentioned to quit the Swiss club. In any case, if now or later, Allegri’s experience at “San Siro” can be considered over, and the rossoneri keep on dreaming of former Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola. And it would be easier to convince the 41 year old if Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos would move to Milan. Signing the 26 year old, with a high evaluation, five more years on his contract and also tracked by Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, will be extremely difficult, but, as sublined by calciomercato.com, not impossible considering the good relations between the rossoneri and the merengues.
