It is the season of zero parameters. More and more players are postponing the signing of contracts, rejecting offers from their clubs and waiting to free themselves to zero or to approach the deadline. It is a strategy studied by the prosecutors that is bearing fruit and the Donnarumma case was evidently a strong detonator of an increasingly penalizing situation for society.

There is Lorenzo Insigne, for example, who scares Naples. It was he himself who admitted that “the negotiation is difficult, complicated”. And we have seen it. According to rumors, the meeting that finally took place between De Laurentiis and the Pisacane prosecutor, would have ended with the classic black smoke. Yet the president figures Napoli thought he had offered an indispensable answer or almost, 4.6 million for five years, very close to the five million requested by Insigne, but he heard the answer “no, thank you”.

They would also dance several euros, there is talk of seven, for some sort of prize or bonus, call it as requested, requested by the player for the million renewal. Of course, the suspicion that there may be some other club behind it is very strong, Insigne is back from his best season with Napoli, he was a protagonist in the European Championship with the national team and the spotlight on him is on. Inter had already looked for him last summer, but in the face of a request for thirty million, there was no negotiation. From England comes the strong and clear signal that Manchester United had also thought about such a brilliant player, thinking of Zola, the Magic box of Chelsea that he was. Radiomercato tells of an important company (one of these two?) That had already made Insigne a very high offer for five years starting next summer. Of course, taking such a player to zero, at the age of thirty in full maturity, is certainly a bargain. The possibility of a transfer to Toronto, in Mls, was definitely denied, as intuited from the first minute. These are adventures that can be done from thirty-five and up. Come will it end? De Laurentiis had to move first. Insigne is too important, an agreement found before the start of the championship because now this story risks dragging on for most of the season, also affecting the climate in the locker room and the relationship with the fans.

The hope is that De Laurentiis thinks and finds the key to close as soon as possible because it would be unacceptable to create another case around a team that is playing great football, is at the top of the standings with full points and can remain in the running for the Scudetto until everything good. An unacceptable pity because already in the recent past, first the mutiny and then the cold war with Gattuso, heavily influenced the performance of this team which deserves very different conditions to express itself at its best, as it is doing up to now.

But Milan also has its problems after having just lost Donnarumma, in fact, but also Calhanoglu. This time the case is called Kessie. After declaring love for Milan during the Olympics “I’ll come back and sign”, in reality the situation has become complicated, perhaps due to the interference of some other club. And the suspicion is strong. The over six million proposed by Milan are no longer enough, now Mr. Atangana, the player’s agent, asks for eight and perhaps even more. Is there behind the PSG? Thinking about it is never wrong given the money circulating there and the team built with the Harlem Globe Trotters as a model. But someone like Kessie would be very comfortable in midfield. Some say that Juventus would also be in the running with a midfield to be refounded. Locatelli is the first step, but next summer there will have to be a revolution given the flops and doubts about McKennie, Arthur, Ramsey, Rabiot, but also Bentancur who is no longer growing. The idea of ​​waiting for Kessie and taking him to zero next summer would have matured after the difficulties born on Tchouameni, 21-year-old Frenchman from Monaco that Juve would have wanted to take already in January, but on which Real and other clubs have also thrown themselves. raise the price beyond sixty million. Speaking of Real, the blancos also need to rejuvenate and renew the midfield and the Milan midfielder is also waiting to see how the situation evolves.

However, one thing is certain: Kessie will not go to Inter. His attorney was keen to clarify that in the case of a farewell as a parameter, the further rudeness of going to the “cousins” will not be made. At least that.

In Milan that is about to expire there is also Romagnoli and even here the matter can become complicated due to the amount that the player already earns and some doubts about the last few seasons.

Staying at Juve and renewing, Dybala is also expiring. It is true that perhaps the time has come for an agreement, we would be in the details, but it is surprising that the most important player of the team has not yet said yes, four months before the possibility of agreeing with another team. But if with Cuadrado, another expiring date, the road is traced, it seems more complicated to renew Bernardeschi from whom the Bianconeri could even ask for a cut of a salary that exceeds four million.

Inter are solving the Brozovic problem while it will be complicated to renew with Perisic unless the winger does not accept a salary of less than the five million he earns now. Inter will not pass out to hold him back.

And where will Belotti go? It was President Cairo who revealed the desire not to renew, so it is to be trusted. Milan have been wooing the player for a long time, he had come to offer seventy million in the golden season, now taking him to zero would be a magical blow. Inter observes how logical it is, but also beware of Fiorentina who must replace Vlahovic. Belotti is an old obsession, always liked, contacts were wasted to the point that in an interview (remember?) Even the grandmother spoke of Fiorentina. Concrete track? Times could change, going to play in the Champions League or fighting for the Scudetto could have a charm that Fiorentina doesn’t have at the moment. But let’s wait to see how the Vlahovic case will evolve. He also does not want to renew, but the deadline is 2023. The viola hope to sell him in January, perhaps in the Premier. All the roads have long led to Turin, a possible agreement already found between his agent and Juve. There are no confirmations, but the rumors are many.

There is a though. In any case, the president Commisso has clear ideas: Vlahovic never in black and white. At the cost of losing it to zero in a year and a half. The president viola, already burned by Chiesa, had given this input to his managers, but the paths of the market and contracts are endless and the story seems only at the beginning.
