Good morning my friends! Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Wednesday 10 June 2015. Time to share a big cup of Coffee or your favorite drink…
Allow me to shout a big YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Why? Hello, I just saw La Gazzetta dello Sport main headline about forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic opening the way for a possible return to AC Milan. Say what? Really? Yep, my friends. It’s just a clamorous turning point because Ibrahimovic had said no before.. but oh well.. something must have changed.. So Milan will deal with Paris Saint Germain… Surely, you bet I am super happy with this news…..
Headlines for the Coacher Merry Go Round…. There are 6 top coaches out of job by choice nor not: Carlo Ancelotti, Vincenzo Montella, Cesare Prandelli, Luciano Spaletti, Walter Mazzarri, and Roberto Donadoni.
A good news is the headline about Bologna returning to the Serie A. Yep, Bologna playing with 10 players managed to get a 1-1 draw with Pescara and that was enough to claim their way back to the Serie A.!!!! Welcome back Bologna.
Juventus transfer market including the yes by Khedira, a World Champion, and “not sure” by Tevez…..
AC Milan player the “Baby” Gamarra called up by Bolivia to participate in Copa America.
Headlines as reported by Corriere dello Sport include Inter in Spain to get Vietto or Javier Hernandez.
Roma transfer market news include Van der Wiel for the new Roma.
Yet, the biggest headline in Corriere is about Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain! Yep, reportedly everybody wants to get Higuain. Chelsea ready to offer 40 millions, but Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain are also interested. The response by Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentis protect him saying his worth is 100 millions.
Suspense regarding the new coach for Fiorentina. Corriere’s headline saying the awaited Sousa deal is a no while Donadoni chances advancing… and Ventura still on the race…
