In a compelling analysis of the football transfer landscape, La Gazzetta dello Sport today scrutinises the futures of Sporting Directors set to make moves in the market. Several high profile names are in the fray, looking to settle into new roles.
1) MASSARA – Previously linked with a return to Roma or a potential move to Napoli, there had been whispers about Massara moving to Liverpool in England. “His name was recently attached to Liverpool. Still, Richard Hughes, who is currently at Bournemouth, has seen his candidacy gain traction in the last few hours,” reports La Gazzetta dello Sport.
2) TIAGO PINTO – The former Roma executive must look for a new team to work with, in Serie A (perhaps Napoli?) or elsewhere.
3) MODESTO – He remains the favoured choice to join Roma. “Modesto, who is now in charge of transfers at Monza and was previously the Sporting Director of Olympiacos, worked with Lina Souloukou, who is now the CEO at Roma,” the Italian newspaper revealed.
4) TARE – The ex-Albanian striker left Lazio in June, and he remains an attractive profile to many clubs, states La Gazzetta dello Sport.
5) TOGNOZZI – Although the former Juve executive is currently comfortable at Granada, he could move to Parma if the Northern Italy club manage its expected promotion to Serie A.
6) MANNA – As the current Sporting Director and right-hand man of Cristiano Giuntoli, he could potentially follow Tognozzi’s footsteps and look for his independent role in the summer transfer window.
