Opening
On 7 July Baltika thrashed Macedonia's Tikvesh 5:0, and Nathan Gassama opened the scoring as early as the 9th minute. Fittingly, while he scores in friendlies, two European clubs are bargaining for his signature. According to Championat, Torino and Panathinaikos have already made official offers — and both were turned down. Kaliningrad want 5 million euros.
Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed the Italian interest: Torino head coach Ignazio Abate personally likes Gassama. Meanwhile Transfermarkt values the defender at 1.5 million euros. The gap between the valuation and the asking price is more than threefold. Let us work out who is closer to the truth.
