The transfer market wearily drags towards the end of the first month, between ambitions and economic impediments due to the crisis linked to the pandemic.
The Italian clubs cannot be crazy, but also in other countries the situation is far from flourishing.
And there are champions who feel somewhat trapped by the crazy demands of their clubs, such as Erling HAALAND, who broke a long silence by using rather critical words with Borussia Dortmund.
"I hope it's just rumors, because 175 million for someone is a lot of money," said the Norwegian striker, who still has a three-year contract with the German club and likes the big players in the Premier League.
In Italy Massimiliano Allegri admitted that a player who is good at throwing free-kicks from the right could arrive at Juventus, and this reinforces the hypothesis of a return to Juventus of Miralem PJANIC from Barcelona. Meanwhile, Juventus is close to the sale of Marko PJACA to Turin, on loan with obligation to redeem. Atalanta continues to move both in and out: the day after the medical examinations, the Bergamo club has formalized the arrival on loan of Giuseppe PEZZELLA from Parma. The formula provides for the right of redemption and the obligation in the event of at least 20 overall appearances, plus qualification for the Champions League 2022/23. The Bergamo players then seem willing to give up permanently to Cristian ROMERO, who remains Tottenham's main objective to reinforce the defense. The ds of the 'Spurs', the former Juventus player Fabio Paratici, would be intensifying contacts with the Atalanta executives to find a definitive agreement, at least according to the Telegraph.
The newly promoted Venezia is looking for reinforcements for the offensive department: he is interested in Graziano PELLÈ, who ended his adventure at Parma and is also liked by the Dutch of Feyenoord.
LYANCO has found an agreement with Betis Sevilla for some time, but the Andalusian club has not yet reached an agreement with Turin for the transfer formula.
For Gennaro TUTINO, the newly promoted Salernitana wants to obtain the renewal of the loan from Naples, but on the young striker there is also Parma which seems willing to buy the card for 5 million.
Stevan JOVETIC is a new player from Hertha Berlin. The Montenegrin playmaker, who wore Fiorentina and Inter in Italy, had released himself from Monaco and signed a two-year contract (with option for a third season).
So the idea of Lazio fades.
