To the Argentine goalkeeper 1.6 per year to replace the departing Gollini. Pozzo looks to Matheus del Braga as well as Rossi and Maximiano
UDINE. Twenty million for Udinese and a three-year contract of 1.6 per year a Juan Musso, or the goalkeeper of the Zebretta of the last three seasons. These are the figures that are about to define the sale of the Argentine to Atalanta, a deal given even in closing after the acceleration given yesterday to the negotiation by the Bergamo Goddess, who never made a secret of looking with interest at the 27-year-old from San Nicolas that Gino Pozzo taken in 2018 by Racing Avellaneda, for a figure close to 6 million.
After three seasons that expense has undoubtedly paid off, because if today Musso is in the Argentine national team aiming to win the America’s Cup, in close contact with that Rodrigo De Paul from which Udinese will earn 40 million for the announced transfer – but still to be formalized – to Atletico Madrid, it is because the goalkeeper has grown in Udine, still showing ample room for improvement.
For this reason, Inter followed him with insistence, only to “let go” before the renewal of Samir Handanovic (until 2022) and then of that economic crisis that has defeated the plans of the Suning group. In short, until a few months ago Musso was really convinced that the Nerazzurri would be in his future, without imagining that it would be that of Atalanta.
In Bergamo they say that Gian Piero Gasperini has been crazy for Musso for some time, and was only waiting for the sale of Pierluigi Gollini to advocate the lunge. Now that Gollini is given ever closer to Lazio (with Roma oriented to close for Rui Patricio), the negotiation with Udinese has indeed taken off, but at the same time it raises a good question mark for the future of the Friulians. Who will be the next holder to guard the Juventus goal after the arrival of Daniele Padelli, destined to be second?
The question is always answered by “radio market”, which has definitely tuned in abroad. The first goal always leads to Argentina and that Agustin Rossi of Boca Juniors, whose cost would have risen in recent times, almost doubling the 3.3 million on which Udinese was dealing.
This is why the Portuguese track must be taken into consideration, where it was probed Luis Maximiano of Sporting Lisbon, before interest in the Brazilian appeared Matheus, since 2014 at Sporting Braga. Compared to Rossi, the 28-year-old from Belo Horizonte has a double passport (Brazilian-Portuguese) and therefore would not occupy one of the two slots as a non-EU citizen, the one that Rossi would take (unless he also has another “document” in his drawer European as often happens in South America) and above all it would cost less, given that Braga values it 6 million.
