Paulo Dybala, the market derby turns on.

Market derby for former Juve.

After announcing Kristjan Asllani, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Andre Onana and, above all, Romelu Lukaku, Inter inevitably comes to terms with the budget: the lavish buying campaign carried out so far inevitably involves some disposals, a condition moreover necessary if they want to pull off the last big score, that of Paulo Dybala.

Beppe Marotta would have long since found an agreement with the Argentine’s entourage: a four-year 5 million annual deal plus 1 million in bonuses. The problem is that the acceleration to sign the Belgian bomber as soon as possible has slowed down the negotiations for the Argentine, who, according to some, is also tired of waiting.

In this scenario, the shadow of Paolo Maldini’s AC Milan is becoming more and more threatening: the Rossoneri manager is offering less than what his Nerazzurri cousins put on the table – about 4 million plus bonuses – but he is willing to close immediately. The player would have married Inter’s project, but the wavering and waiting could convince him to a resounding about-face. Everything is set for a market derby that promises sparks.
