Elia to Juventus is officially official. 9mil+1mil in possible bonuses, which brings our summer spending up to 88mil. His first words in Bianconero.

(13:00)
Pasquato did not train at Vinovo today. Reports state he is on his way to Lecce on loan.

(13:30)
Marotta continues to hunt for a central defender. Speculation today is heavy on Bocchetti from Russia.

(14:00)
Giandonato has been linked with Lecce as well, though there are reports he could end up in Serie B, the Corriere suggests Vicenza as a destination.

(14:30)
Juventus are also interested in Gastaldello of Sampdoria, but Samp seem unwilling to let him go.

(15:00)
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL- Juventus sign Yussif Raman Chibsah of Sassuolo in full. Midfielder from Ghana born 1993.

(15:30)
There’s still the big question of where does Amauri go. Genoa signing Caracciolo seems to indicate their interest in him is gone, as well as meaning Gilardino might stay at Fiorentina. Marseille is still interested.

(15:45)
Amauri has reportedly rejected a return to Palermo. Parma are still interested and will hope to get him on a free transfer.

(16:30)
Marotta has told the Gazzetta dello Sport “our mercato is closed.” Doubt it. Still a few sales/loans left in the team.

(16:45)
Parma speaking with Bianchi of Torino and Floccari of Lazio. Could mean Marseille or Juve for Amauri.

(17:00)
Two hours to go in the Italian mercato. Amauri and Motta still on the books.

(17:15)
Giandonato to Lecce is being confirmed by most news sources. Juventus shifting CB interest to Andreolli of Chievo, a player who promised much but hasn’t delivered. Tuttosport claiming Iaquinta is close to Bordeaux, though I believe that’s very unlikely

(17:30)
Elia’s signing brings Juve’s summer spending up to a staggering €88 million. I don’t have any statistics in front of me, but this could be our biggest mercato ever. PSG still hunting for a striker, with Borriello staying in Rome, one hopes Leonardo brings Amauri to the French capital.
