Market, the right wingers: the negotiations, from Palestra to Holm

There is traffic on the right wing. They start from afar and often get to the end: they are the smartest wingers in Serie A. And inevitably they are at the center of the transfer market. It is no coincidence that in recent months the full-backs (as they were once called) are making the difference. With positive effects also for the national team. In blue Gattuso continues to place his trust in the proven Di Lorenzo, protagonist of Napoli’s championships and interpreter of the role in an evidently effective manner. In the meantime, however, Andrea Cambiaso’s star has begun to shine at Juve: to tell the truth, he also does well on the opposite flank, he is an eclectic interpreter, capable of carrying out the offensive phase at his best, as well as disengaging himself in coverage. And it is no coincidence that the Bianconeri were tempted by the Premier League last summer. In particular, Arsenal courted him, with a price close to 40 million euros. Then, however, he decided to swear loyalty to the Juventus colours. It will be interesting, however, to see what will happen in the summer, considering the developments at Continassa. And taking it for granted that his name continues to be highly appreciated.

For this reason, Raoul Bellanova also stood out in Atalanta, coincidentally also having joined the senior national team. In Bergamo he is developing further curriculum after fruitful experiences in Cagliari and Turin. In any case, first with Gasperini and now with Palladino, he appears destined to increasingly refine his repertoire. It goes without saying that there are countless cross-border interests in him too. But this start to the season has above all highlighted the progress of Marco Palestra, playing for Cagliari. The powerful winger from Buccinasco grew up in Atalanta, but after the positive seasons with the Under 23s he is also proving himself in a concrete way in the top league. And inevitably his performance caught the attention of our big teams, as well as the eyes of the Premier League scouts. Both Inter and Juventus are certainly following him closely, both on the hunt for new resources in that role. In Turin they have to actually verify Cambiaso’s loyalty, but even if he were to stay with Spalletti it would be more than convenient to have two interchangeable arrows on the two lanes.

from Dumfries to Norton-Cuffy

Instead, the crisis in the relationship with the Dutchman Dumfries is current at the Nerazzurri. It can therefore be deduced that Marotta and Ausilio are also focusing on Palestra. No less important is the opportunity at Genoa. The reference inevitably is to Brooke Norton-Cuffy, the English talent who is also tempting Inter and Juve, as well as Napoli themselves. However, a final in England for him should not be overlooked. In short, it is inevitable that the powerful clubs of the richest league in the world dive into emerging names in Italy. In this regard, it is also worth taking a look around Bologna. At the school of Vincenzo Italiano, the Swede Emil Holm is standing out for his skills as an assist man: 4. Behind him, the performance of Nadir Zortea, who has just arrived from Cagliari after a more than satisfactory season, is also growing. Even in their case there are very interested observers. And it is true that the Emilian club is aiming for ambitious goals, but the courtships are evidently tempting.

Also noteworthy is the progress of the Portuguese Danilo Veiga, who landed in Lecce a year ago and is now the protagonist of absolutely convincing performances at the school of Eusebio Di Francesco. In general, it is interesting to note how the progress in this delicate role is the result of overall technical-tactical work. In midfield the spaces are increasingly clogged. This is why those who play on the flanks are given ever greater responsibilities. They are now universal footballers, good at doing everything. This is also why they are starting to be envied almost everywhere.
