Backstage – From Bonucci-Inter to Niang. Negotiations behind the scene

Several deals were not sealed. We’ll tell you something more

TRANSFER MARKET / Certainly, the past transfer window set a record for deals finalized and super expensive negotiations sealed. However, several other deals did not end as expected. We are going to unveil something more about these operations. 

BONUCCI – INTER: When Juventus decided to sell the Italian defender, Bonucci had to choose between Milan and Inter. He picked the Rossoneri for two main reasons. Montella and the captain armband. Bonucci's agent is the same of Montella's. The Italian coach was desperately chasing him for months. The armband was definitely appreciated, albeit Bonucci would have received it from Buffon shortly if he had decided to stay at Juventus.

PEROTTI: Milan and Inter were chasing the Argentine winger but Perotti confirmed his intention to stay with the giallorossi.

NIANG: Before the player signed a contract with Torino, Spartak Moscow and Lazio were interested in him as well. In the last few hours of the transfer window, in a secret room at the Hotel Meilià in Milan, two agents were trying to push Niang toward Lazio. However, Mihajlovic's role in this negotiation has been exceptional. Torino's coach has been in contact with the player for a long time and convinced him to accept the Granata.
