Il Chelsea sorpassa l’Inter e mette le mani su Marco Palestra. Pochi dettagli prima della chiusura definitiva. I Blues ha accelerato nel tardo pomeriggio di oggi offrendo 60 milioni all’Atalanta e un ingaggio da circa 7 milioni di euro totali bonus compresi al ragazzo. Il club nerazzurro aveva un accordo con il calciatore intorno ai 2,5/3 milioni di euro. La proposta all’Atalanta era di circa 50 milioni di euro. L’Inter non ha intenzione di rilanciare.

Translated: Chelsea overtake Inter for Marco Palestra, offering Atalanta €60m plus wages of around €7m including bonuses, with Inter unwilling to counter their earlier €50m bid

Newcastle like Marco Palestra but they have not made any attempt to sign him at this stage and believe he is heading elsewhere anyway. Suspicion their name has been used to flush out others. Welcome to another summer transfer window #nufc
