Transfer market, Rome on Pasalic. And El Shaarawy returns for Atalanta

M. Cecchini – A. Elefante

July 13
– Milan

Probably, in this historical phase, there is one thing that unites Roma and Atalanta, which is that in front of a suitable offer there are no non-transferable players. Well, if for the Giallorossi club (perhaps) the only exception could be that represented by Lorenzo Pellegrini, the Nerazzurri have made his fortunes in selling well and buying back even better. From this point of view, therefore, in the wake of the Roman successes obtained by the former Atalanta Cristante and Mancini, now between the two companies there is a feeling for Mario Pasalic, redeemed two years ago by Chelsea for 15 million. And that’s not enough. It is possible that a negotiation for El Shaarawy will also take off.

As we said, for Atalanta there are no non-transferables regardless and in this case there is also a speech of abundance in midfield: De Roon and Freuler are very loyal to Gasperini and declared hinges of the department, because this is what their minutes say; Koopmeiners, already in his first year at the Nerazzurri, has earned the trust of the coach who has often used him with the other two; Ederson is the investment – also economic – of this transfer market session: also for him, who obviously can also play as a midfielder in front of the defense (as in the first friendly of the season last Sunday), the coach could study a more playmaker role. That is what made Pasalic a fundamental weapon in the past seasons. And in the last one, with “digressions” from an offensive winger and even, in moments of emergency, even as a false striker, the top scorer of Atalanta, with 13 goals scored in the league. But Gasperini prefers to allocate more “pure” attackers to the three attacking roles and therefore would not oppose a sale of Pasalic, considering the good coverage in midfield: where Scalvini will probably also find a place often and where a prospective talent like Warren Bondo – provided that Atalanta choose to sink for the free 18-year-old, who played for Nancy last year – could be considered a prospect to grow at home and nowhere else, on loan. And the technician’s ok would be even more convinced if the renunciation of Pasalic served to reinvest the proceeds, allocating it to the other reinforcements he is waiting for: on the flanks, but also in attack, where he hopes to have an extra piece, especially if he were to be sold. one between Muriel and Zapata. And this is why El Shaarawy could be useful to Gasperini, who knows him well. In the context of the chat, even if in a minor key, there was also talk of Perez and Miranchuk.

Frattesi and Kluivert

At the moment, however, there is an important gap between supply and demand. However, these days GM Pinto will be in Milan and maybe the negotiation could take off. Not the only one, however, given that he will return to talk to Sassuolo di Frattesi, who is only waiting for Roma, even if Sassuolo will have to lower their demands, otherwise the Giallorossi could turn to Aouar of Lyon. while waiting for the Zaniolo joint, Zaha of the Crystal Palace is also probed in the casting. Finally, Kluivert did not leave for Portugal. The Dutchman is getting closer to being sold, as is Villar at Monza (see elsewhere). Oxygen for the speakers.
