Before making a move for Jadon Sancho, Juventus will necessarily have to make a significant sale. The main candidates for departure are Douglas Luiz and Nico Gonzalez: the Argentine, in particular, would be destined for Atalanta if the Bergamaschi sell Lookman to Inter.
According to Sportmediaset, there is strong interest from Nottingham Forest in Douglas Luiz, who are ready to make a concrete offer. However, Juventus remains firm on the request for at least 40 million euros to let the Brazilian midfielder leave.
According to Matteo Moretto on the Italian YouTube channel of Fabrizio Romano, Javi Guerra has said no to the first renewal proposal from Valencia. Contacts between the parties are ongoing, with Milan watching with interest, although they want to close the Jashari deal first. There are also an English club and a Spanish club interested in the 2003-born midfielder.
Valencia aims to keep him for at least another season, proposing an adjustment to his salary. But in case of no agreement and a request for sale, the Spanish club would be willing to let him leave for a figure between 25 and 30 million euros. Milan is following the situation closely.
Mario Giuffredi, speaking to Radio CRC, revealed an important background: "Inter has rejected offers of 50 million and also a one-for-one swap with Lookman. Atalanta tried to make this proposal, but the Nerazzurri are aware of Pio Esposito's value."
The agent then added: "Pio has different characteristics than Lookman, so they are not alternatives. I don't know what the coach's intentions are, but I'm sure that Chivu, who knows him well, will give him trust and space."
Napoli continues to dominate the Italian summer market and has no intention of stopping. As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, the club is close to finalizing the deal for Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. The agreement with Torino should be closed between today and tomorrow for a figure of around 22.5 million euros.
As part of the operation, the Granata should receive Cyril Ngonge on loan, confirming the agreement between the two clubs. The Serbian goalkeeper is coming off an excellent season and would represent an important reinforcement for Antonio Conte's team. The closing is now imminent.
Evan Ferguson has clear ideas on the day of his official presentation in yellow and red: "Roma is a great club and we want to reach the highest possible level. When I arrived, I heard talk of a Champions League spot as a goal. I think the expectation this year is to return to this competition," said the Irish striker.
On his arrival in the capital, Ferguson explained: "When a team like Roma wants you with such conviction, it's hard to say no. It's one of the biggest clubs in Europe and this is a great opportunity for me. I thank the ownership and those who work in the club for welcoming me." Read his full words here.
Flamengo's interest in Taty Castellanos has triggered a real social media wave in Brazil. After the first rumors of a possible negotiation with Lazio, the rossoneri fans have launched a massive digital campaign to convince the Argentine striker to move to South America. Between TV, radio, and social networks, the player's name has become viral in a few hours.
On Taty's social media profiles, especially Instagram, thousands of comments have arrived from Brazilian supporters: "Come be happy in Brazil!", "Flamengo is waiting for you!", "Playing here will convince even Scaloni". A well-known strategy in Brazil, where fans often mobilize to push the management to make a move.
Fiorentina is moving to strengthen Stefano Pioli's squad and has set its sights on Alessandro Zanoli of Napoli, as reported by Gianluca Di Marzio. The Viola club has already started contacts for the 2000-born full-back, ex-Genoa, who was also followed by Bologna.
However, Zanoli could stay at Napoli under Antonio Conte's guidance, a situation that would scupper the arrival of Juanlu from Sevilla. The negotiation remains open and to be followed in the coming weeks.
