Sunday’s edition of Gazzetta dellow Sport covers various free agents who may be interesting Italian clubs.
Some big name footballers are ‘looking for a home’, and that gives clubs around Europe, even in countries where the transfer has already closed, the opportunity to sign them for no fee.
That doesn’t mean the transfers are always a bargain, and Gazzetta insinuate that’s why Yaya Toure hasn’t found himself a club yet. The midfielder left Manchester City at the end of his contract in June, and the Italian newspaper claims the latest club to approach him about a signing a contract has been West Ham.
Despite the midfielder earlier saying he’d sign for a Premier League club for a token wage, just to show he’s still got it, that doesn’t appear to be the case in reality, and is likely why the Hammers and others have been tentative.
