Plan B has now become the A plan. Sfumato the arrival of Edin Dzeko, who had long had the agreement with Inter but was fed up with the tug of war with Rome, preferred the rich renewal of Trigoria until 2022 , the Nerazzurri now have to move to give Antonio Conte the second international level striker after the blow Romelu Lukaku, already ready to support Lautaro Martinez in the first of the championship with Lecce, next Monday at San Siro. The choice of the last piece of the Nerazzurri attack, beyond Sanchez, revolves around the future of Mauro Icardi. The former captain, officially out of the technical project from the beginning of July, is the needle of the scale, as his announced goodbye could bring not only money into the Nerazzurri but also important technical counterparts that can change the cards on the table. At the moment one thing is certain: Maurito and his entourage only want Juve as an alternative to Inter. In this scenario, Marotta would willingly accept (not only for economic reasons ...) the exchange with Paulo Dybala, a hypothesis that has always been strongly rejected from Juventus shore and that for this reason remains very difficult. Here then is that after the departure of the Rome scene - due to Dzeko's confirmation - the only club officially running for Icardi remains Napoli. The president Aurelio De Laurentiis is trying to put pressure on Mauro and Wanda, still far from giving the opening to the transfer under the Vesuvius: for the Argentine striker a rich offer is ready on the table for 65 million euros, with cash payment or inserting Arkadiusz Milik into the affair.

THE DEAL WITH ADL - The arrival of Milik would be very intriguing: if in the end Icardi were to succumb to the lure of De Laurentiis, the agreement that brings the Polish center forward to Appiano would be an easy easy consequence. A year younger than Maurito (25 at 26 for Arkadiusz), Milik was very unlucky in the first two Neapolitan years. The double rupture of the ligaments of the knees has limited him but in the end, though criticized for the lack of cynicism under the door, he has nevertheless proved to be a joker player who can play more roles in attack. With Sarri and Ancelotti he has always dressed as first striker, scoring 27 goals in 67 Serie A matches; with Poland he makes the second striker, turning around the star Lewandowski. In short, a flexible player who next to Lukaku and Lautaro would give depth and experience to the attack of Antonio Conte.

THE GIANT OF PAMPLONA - But on the shopping list of the Nerazzurri leaders the first name is that of Fernando Llorente. After a day of farewell to Tottenham, the former Juventus striker at 34 is a safe and reliable used who can change Lukaku. Bianconero with Conte and Marotta, Fernando does not cost anything (that's why his arrival is the simplest) and is attracted by a new important adventure in the Champions League, where last year he reached the final with Spurs. Look for a two-year contract, a solution that Inter is seriously considering, even if the typhoon dreamed of Dzeko's arrival and does not get too hot in front of the name of the Pamplona giant.
