Next Friday against Sampdoria could be Federico Chiesa’s last match in purple. The official Juventus proposal is about to reach the Fiorentina table, after the contacts of the last days to understand the wishes of the parties, the intermediaries are working to prepare a negotiating base on which to discuss concretely. Time is running out, there are at most five days to decide, Fiorentina does not want to go beyond next Saturday and then have two days available to close with the objectives already identified to replace Chiesa. But Juventus before formalizing the offer must sell Douglas Costa and release Khedira to lower the salary bill. Five days of fire and entwined joints. According to rumors, last night Rocco took stock of the market with Joe Barone and Daniele Pradè at the hotel in the city center where the purple president is staying. The situation is complex and not very easy to solve.
The president knows very well that he has promised Chiesa the sale, the player is waiting to leave and if it does not happen, of course, he would not jump for joy with all the consequences of the case. Including an expiring contract. But can Juventus satisfy Rocco’s request? The point is this, but not only this. The Bianconeri are struggling to find a buyer for the Brazilian winger, having skipped negotiations with United, a trade is in the works. Douglas Costa likes Barcelona who could accept the exchange with Dembelè, but Leonardo would also like him to exchange it with Draxler at PSG. Different situation for Khedira, the Bianconeri would also let him free to save six million salaries and then divert them to Chiesa to whom they have promised five, but for now the German wants to stay in Turin. Paratici is at work, one way or another, he is convinced to close between today and tomorrow and then go on to negotiate with Fiorentina.
Rocco has restarted from the request of the seventy million, but it seems that they have convinced him that due to the contract that expires in 2022 and the coronavirus crisis, certain figures are no longer sustainable in the Italian market and as we have always told you, Chiesa does not want to go to ‘foreigner.
How far will Juventus go? The idea is to delay, as everyone does now. The initial proposal to test the land was ten million immediately for the loan, an obligation to exchange in 2021 with another twenty million and balance in 2022 with another twenty. A total of fifty million. About the last draft prepared for discussion we should talk about 10 + 20 + 25. Juventus would also be willing to discuss the inclusion of a young man in whom they believe a lot like Nicolussi Caviglia, with redemption and counter-redemption, but Fiorentina would prefer (obviously) to speak from Rugani who has already said no.
Rocco is stumped. He has always reiterated that the sale would only be guaranteed in the event of a superior offer and it seems to be oriented to hold. But is it really worth it? In sixteen months, on February 1, 2020, Chiesa may agree with another company. America’s uncle, it is understood now, but he’s a tough guy, it won’t be easy to convince him. As it does not seem easy for Juve to sell surplus players. A business still fraught with difficulties and if it is true that when there is a will, business can be done in a few hours, it is equally true that this story has gone on for too long. For Fiorentina, Chiesa has great technical and economic value and it will take a lot of diplomacy to find a shared solution on this point. Chiesa had the promise of Rocco and is really looking forward to playing the last viola game on Friday night at Franchi. The player has always shown that he is a great professional, but if this time he is not satisfied again, it will be difficult to see him again with the smile of recent weeks. He has the ambition to play the Champions League with champions, with Ronaldo, beyond the financial aspect that still counts. Going from less than two to five million a year is no small thing. I’m not a clairvoyant, but I don’t know if Chiesa would continue with a smile playing the weary player on the wing (including full-back) as Iachini asks her today. It is a question that I ask myself and I ask you knowing the dynamics of the world of football. And at the same time it is easy to support as someone does, if they do not want to play in that role and do not want to renew, send them to the stands. It would only be a Tafazzian play that would take 50 million or more from the coffers and the most talented player after Ribéry. Also for this reason I have the feeling that this story has been pushed too far. It had to be resolved first and it seems clear to me, even if there are extenuating circumstances, as Rocco had to stay away from Florence for seven months due to the pandemic.
What if Church left? The priority would be to bring a winger and in any case a level player to Florence, and then here are the names surveyed which are those of Deulofeu, as it is widely said, or De Paul (Udinese does not go below 40 million) or Callejón you are free from Naples and you can wait and get married even when the market is closed. The latter would be a great success, he is 33 years old, but in the role of winger he is still the best. He expects a big one, asks for the signing of a top player, but he did not say no to Fiorentina. On the other hand, those who, until last night, were supporting a Chiesa-Douglas Costa exchange, like Belotti or Thiago Silva, make me smile. Other than that, the player doesn’t even think about it, do you know how much he wins? Six million net, but talking and building a populist consensus is easy … From the Steak Club to the Balle Club is a short step … You can also stay in the same room, just change the sign at the entrance.
While waiting for the end of a negotiation that affects many things, the market does not seem to change its perspective after the match against Inter. Rocco has faith in Vlahovic and went to tell him personally in training yesterday morning. The purchase of a center forward was not planned until last night. The only novelty is the eyes of Bologna on Cutrone that Miha had in Milan, Fiorentina like the Japanese defender Tomiyasu, but the Rossoneri also want him and the order is for twenty million. Bologna would gladly give in to Bani, but Pradè also has reserved the Quarta card, Argentine defender of River Plate. Today could close.
Returning to the center of the front, I try to tell, as a reporter, what I come to know. For weeks I have been telling you that except for Chiesa’s departure or not and Milenkovic’s speech, which, however, should now be closed, Viola is only looking for a left-wing deputy Biraghi. If you want to know mine, instead I would send Vlahovic to play and remove someone like Llorente from Napoli, who said no to La Spezia until last night. Iachini with Llorente or similar, he would finally have that center forward he wanted and with Cutrone and Kouamè a good attack. It is clear that Vlahovic has potential, but he is immature in his movements and attitudes. A year in Verona with Juric would be good for me, but maybe I’m wrong.
However, it would also take a potential central defender, stronger (with all due respect) than Ceccherini who gives his best, but also shows limits. Ceccherini has orders, let’s see what happens in the last hours of the market. Rocco, however, likes this team, if he remains Chiesa he could also wait to understand what will happen to the stadium.
Rocco has a thousand reasons, I said it over and over again. Maybe they had made things easier, hence his bad mood, but raising his tone is useless. The idea that the stadium can become a blackmail weapon “Either you leave me or I will not strengthen Fiorentina” should not happen, because football can be done well even without a stadium (see Atalanta, Lazio, but also Naples taken by a bankruptcy and others). Rocco has to take care of the two parallel tracks, structures and soccer, without mixing. It is obvious that the stadium serves to grow, but not everything can depend on the structures.
However, I hope you understand that optimism about the new law was and is exaggerated. The Franks will never bring it down and even radical interventions will be difficult, leaving only the Tower and Stairs. Having bypassed the Superintendency, many obstacles remain, beginning with the ministry. Even Tardelli, a friend of Nardella, said yesterday that our story does not fall apart. Who wants to understand understand. And then Rocco, eventually, awaits appeals and counterclaims. I still do not bet a euro for the Franks and Nardella must have also understood that it will be difficult. It is no coincidence that he has found an agreement with the mayor of Campi Fossi that will allow him to have a solution as metropolitan mayor in the event of a second consecutive defeat after Franks Mercafir. Now there is a way out …
