ROME Denmark forward Nicklas Bendtner was finalizing a loan deal from Arsenal
to Serie A champion Juventus and Netherlands midfielder Nigel de Jong left
Manchester City for a three-year deal with AC Milan in the two most notable
moves on the final day of a lacklustre Italian transfer window. Mike Iupati Super bowl Jersey . Juventus said
Friday that Bendtner was undergoing medical tests, while Milan announced the
deal for De Jong and included him in its squad for Saturdays match at Bologna.
Juventus will reportedly pay Bendtner €1.5 million ($1.88 million) this season,
and will have the option to pay Arsenal €6 million ($7.54 million) after this
season to keep him. “So happy and humble. A dream come true,” Bendtner tweeted.
Milan will reportedly pay City a €3.5 million ($4.4 million) transfer fee for De
Jong. With few major acquisitions, the Italian transfer window has been
characterized by departures of key players like Milans Zlatan Ibrahimovic and
Thiago Silva, and Napolis Ezequiel Lavezzi — with all three joining Paris
Saint-Germain. Bendtner scored eight goals while on loan with Sunderland last
season. De Jong helped City to the Premier League title last season and was on
the Netherlands team that finished runner-up to Spain at the 2010 World Cup.
While Juve has kept most of its squad intact after winning Serie A for the first
time since before the 2006 match-fixing scandal, Milan offloaded an entire
squads worth of players and has made several acquisitions this week. On
Wednesday, Milan signed 22-year-old Spanish forward Bojan Krkic from Roma, a day
after adding 17-year-old French forward MBaye Niang from Caen. Inter Milan also
appears relatively satisfied with its squad, having already added goalkeeper
Samir Handanovic from Udinese to replace the departed Julio Cesar, midfielder
Walter Gargano on loan from Napoli and forwards Antonio Cassano (from Milan) and
Rodrigo Palacio (Genoa). But club President Massimo Moratti is still looking for
a backup to forward Diego Milito, with Lazios Sergio Floccari among the
last-minute possibilities. On Friday, Inter introduced Uruguayan midfielder and
fullback Alvaro Pereira, who was signed from Porto to replace the departed
Maicon. “Maicon was a great and important player and he did a lot for Inter, but
Im Alvaro Pereira and Im another person,” Pereira said. Among other late deals,
Napoli, aiming for a top-three finish to get back into the Champions League, is
hoping to sign midfielder Giandomenico Mesto from Genoa; and forward Marco
Borriello could leave Roma for Genoa if Alberto Gilardino goes to Bologna.
Fiorentina has remodeled its entire squad with 15 new players for coach Vincenzo
Montella, with the final additions being Serbia defender Nenad Tomovic in a €2.5
million ($3.14 million) deal from Lecce and midfielder Giuliano Migliaccio in a
free loan from Palermo. Earlier this week, Fiorentina sharply criticized
Juventus for interfering in its negotiations with Manchester United forward
Dimitar Berbatov, who now appears set to remain in England. Sydney FC announced
Friday that former Juventus forward Alessandro Del Piero had agreed to contract
terms with the A-League club, but the players brother and agent said the deal
was not finalized. Also, troubled forward Adrian Mutu joined Corsican side
Ajaccio in a three-year deal earlier this week from Cesena. Perrish Cox Jersey . Living in Bosnia at the
