Doubts about the deal with the PSG for the French, now tightens with Leipzig. Nico Gonzalez at Atletico unlocks the Kosovar of Lilla: the visits during the day

September 1 – 01:52 – MILAN

Last day of the market, last shots. Juventus closes with a bang a summer market session so far not very lively with two reinforcements for the attack and a great surprise: except for other reversals, Randal Kolo Muani will not be the extra man for the offensive department of Madama but Lois Opennda, the second Belgian tip of the Leipzig. Opennda faced Juventus in the last Champions League as well as Edon Zhegrova, the other purchase of the last hour that comes from Lille. The bianconeri hope to place even a last piece as fifth of midfield, Jonathan Clauss of Nice, who aim to borrow.

Italy in fate

Zhegrova discovered Italy when he was just a boy: at 12 years of age the funambolic boy Kosovaro was noticed by Milan during a Camp and invited to visit San Siro and to attend a game. Thirteen years later he embarked on a flight with destination Turin to make a dream come true: playing in Serie A and wearing the Juventus shirt. By now only the signature on the three -year contract with the lady is missing, who will arrive after the ritual visits this morning. To unlock the incoming operation was the white smoke from Madrid for the sale of Nico Gonzalez to Atletico (loan with the right of redemption for a total of 33 million).

Last minute deal

Zhegrova is a dribbling specialist who mixes technique, rhythm, precision in assist and danger within the penalty area. The courtship started from afar (he already liked Cristiano Giuntoli) but the operation has materialized in recent weeks. The exterior, contract expiring in 2026, did not want to renew and immediately told the lady, who offered him a salary of 2.5 million euros per season. The lilac was more difficult to convince, which initially wanted to hold it back, but then gave in front of an offer around 15 million.

Openda overtaking

Nico greets after only one year, like Douglas Luiz, the Bianconeri scored the third blow of the summer (after David and Joao Mario) and today they aim to close the practice open after the sensational overtaking on Kolo Muani of the last few hours. The negotiation for the French, which began in the spring, lasted until the last day. There had been talk of an opening of the PSG to the onerous loan (10 million) with the right of redemption of 50 million, but Juventus took time and then veered on something else, being a very expensive operation also for the 8 million salaries that Kolo asks for. Thus the technical and economic assessments led to leaning for the Belgian, younger (25), with lower salary, equally ductile. For him, a 4 million euro contract is ready per year while the cost of the tag is around 50 million. The Juventus market may not end here: Tudor would also like a right outfit and Juventus has re -established the contacts for Clauss of Nice, which the Croatian has already trained at Marseille.
