Claudia Garcia: “Garcia: “CR7-Juve, no regrets. Danilo for life in black and white”

Claudia Garcia, CEO of the Savoir Sport communication agency and journalist for RSI Sport, Rai Sport and SIC, gave a long interview to calciomercato.it. Here are her words:

On Ronaldo: “It’s difficult for Cristiano to find a team that plays in the Champions League. I don’t see him accepting contracts at Ibrahimovic or earning 1 million euros at Sporting for six months. The Arab offer is really heavy, there is talk of 200 million euros for ten years between the field and then as ambassador once his career is over. He would be a multi-millionaire, it would open several doors for him when he stops playing and he could do many things considering how important his image is worldwide. Ronaldo would become an entrepreneur, a bit like Beckham who bought a club like Inter Miami in the United States and acted as a testimonial for the World Cup in Qatar”.

Claudia Garcia continues in her interview with Calciomercato.it: “Has Ronaldo regretted leaving Juventus? In my opinion not, the same thing would have happened that then happened to Manchester United. He was already being criticized and would not always be a starter in black and white. However, the first year at United was positive, he did well by scoring many goals. The last six months have been too long and at that juncture the clash that led him to bid farewell to the ‘Red Devils’ took place. In my opinion he left Real Madrid a little too early, he could have stayed another two years and then come to finish his career in Italy. He would certainly have found a team, we are seeing that many champions who are advanced in age at 37-38 still find an important contract in Serie A “.

“Every day that passes is in favor of Leao and not of Milan. Maldini and Massara wanted to close the renewal before the World Cup, but this didn’t happen. In Qatar he wasn’t a regular with Portugal, but coming off the bench he scored and made the difference. He has shown that he can shine even on a prestigious stage like the World Cup. Many big names have set their sights on him, but as far as I know Leao wants to stay in Milan and I think they can come to terms with the Rossoneri club. To date, however, a complicated situation remains and the possibility of freeing himself up to zero in a year and a half could play in the player’s favor.”

Gonçalo Ramos also stood out in the review in Qatar, linked to Juventus in Serie A in the event of Vlahovic’s premature farewell to the Bianconeri: “In Portugal everything has a price, if you pay a player well they are willing to sell him. He will soon want to compete in football that counts, but I don’t know if it’s a suitable profile for Italian football – Claudia Garcia explained to our microphones – Gonçalo also has a physique but he’s more of a mobile, technical player who connects with the other departments. A bit like Raspadori in Naples. Obviously it depends on the style of play and the team he plays for: with Simone Inzaghi, for example, I wouldn’t see him very well at Inter, even if a striker similar in terms of characteristics like Immobile did very well at Lazio with the coach from Piacenza. I see Ramos more suited to a championship like the Premier League. There has been a lot of good talk about him for some time, he has always been highly appreciated in Portugal and many thought that he could have done even better than Darwin Nunez at Benfica ”.

Another Portuguese striker who could soon change shirt is Joao Felix, en route with Simeone and Atletico Madrid: “I see his transfer to Italy as difficult, he earns 6 million net a year and to move he will certainly want to earn more than his contract which he now has with Atletico Madrid. They took him for 120 million euros and I don’t think he’s moving for 30-40 million. They will look for a creative formula with a loan and an obligation to buy, but not less than 70-80 million euros. In Serie A, at these figures, I would rule out an arrival of Joao Felix at Juventus, Inter or Milan, considering the complicated post-Covid moment that Italian football is facing. I see it more in a team like Paris Saint-Germain who are already moving towards the future. It’s true that they have several star players, but if Messi renews he could only stay for another year while Real Madrid is always close on Mbappe”.

Claudia Garcia with her agency takes care of the communication of Danilo, now one of the leaders of Massimiliano Allegri’s Juve and close to renewing the contract currently expiring in 2024.

“He can end his career in Europe at Juventus, he is very attached to the club but also to the city of Turin and the fans. He gets on really well with the Juventus club: he has won a lot in his experience in Italy, but he wants to continue winning many trophies with the Juve shirt. This year they want to make up ground in the standings to try to undermine Napoli, while in the international arena after leaving the Champions League now the new mission is to get to the bottom of the Europa League. Juventus has always been a team full of leaders, with experienced and experienced people: it was absolutely not easy for him, who came from countries with a different football culture, to fit in as he did and become a point of reference in the dressing room. His all-round professional mentality and with a great work culture, marries wonderfully with a professionally top club like Juventus “.

Finally, again from a Juventus perspective, Claudia Garcia spoke exclusively to Calciomercato.it and focused on the future of Diogo Dalot, in the sights of the ‘Old Lady’ for the after Cuadrado: “In January it is practically impossible for him to leave Manchester United. The option has been taken to extend the contract and in the next few months he will discuss the renewal with United. The ‘Red Devils’ want to offer him a long-term contract and he is very comfortable in Manchester. They could reach an agreement, but if this does not happen, it will be a path to follow very carefully in the next summer transfer market. Juventus’ interest is concrete and confirmed, but he is a player who is also very popular in Spain. At the World Cup he was elected as the best right-back of the event and he benched a certain Joao Cancelo in the Portuguese national team… In his role he is one of the most complete in the world in terms of characteristics, he gives ample guarantees in defense as well as being incisive in the push phase. Compared to the experience at Milan, he has improved a lot in recent years, especially this year at Manchester United under the guidance of ten Hag“.
