Summer Mercato

[ACMILAN1983]

Good and bad news about Iturbe. Good news is that Iturbe is impressed with Inzaghi and his proposal; bad news is that (as mentioned in Dev's post) it seems contingent on Kaka's departure but Mr. Leite might be asking a bit too much money from Sao Paulo right now.

All is rumored, of course.

I think bad news is becoming more common. The biggest problem appears to be Kaka, who apparently called yesterday about the return to training and the guy we need to sell before we can apparently get Iturbe (who has apparently been told by Pippo that he'd have an important role in his side). Here's one article on the situation:

This one is from Di Marzio, but there's been similar messages/reports by Pedulla and Gazzetta. Getting back to Kaka, I must say my view of him has declined a lot over the years. His wage demands and the regularity of which he and his father would ask for increases when previously at Milan were extortionate. Now he's not going to Sao Paolo who aren't willing to give him the same amount of money he gets with us. We've screwed ourselves over with our management of him over the years, but honestly this feels very greedy.

After this world cup i don't think we could get more than 20m for Balotelli, and I want him sold ASAP. Such a loser.

As far as we're concerned, his performances (barring England) and attitude has become a real problem now when trying to sell him. I can't imagine many will want him now. If they do, we should just sell him sooner rather than later.
