They came to see Berardi but fell in love with Immobile. Borussia Dortmund’s scouts attended Sassuolo-Torino, they were coming to see Berardi, who cost Allegri his job by scoring 4 goals against Milan. It was raining hard but Immobile ran half way through the pitch and scored while displaying great technique, strength and speed. Borussia Dortmund’s scouts were accompanied by Italian intermediaries, they decided to come back to watch Immobile against Milan and then Bologna.
Prandelli has also been following him since December, at first there were some signals from the Azzurri coach but then nothing more. But Immobile continues to score, so far he has 13 goals with no penalty kicks, nobody has done better in Serie A this season, if he continues this way he will deserve a ticket to the World Cup in Brazil. History backs this up, before the World Cup there is always a surprise like Schillaci. Ciro has something else in common with Toto’, since he has Juve in his future.
Marotta and Paratici know they control a treasure, Conte has also always held him in high regard from their time together at Siena, and now Immobile’s price is rising. Juve is hoping to get 10 million euro for their half of Immobile, but they would probably settle for 8 million if he continues to score every weekend. In Germany they will continue to work on acquiring him: some agents close to Dortmund (Sommella and Moggi) have been alerted, they could soon make their first offer to Torino and the player. While Dortmund has already acquired Colombian striker Ramos to replace Lewandowski they need to buy 2 strikers. Immobile’s future has many different colors- a yellow jersey could be in his future, he will need to do well in Torino’s granata jersey to conquer the Azzurri color for the World Cup.
