The start of the new Serie A is getting closer and closer. The countdown is coming to an end and, with it, the frenzy of the transfer market grows more intense every day.
The management offices are red-hot: phone calls, meetings, and intense negotiations to strike the right deal and provide coaches with reinforcements worthy of their ambitions.
Here is an update on the transfer negotiations and rumors involving the main players in our league.
Juventus is looking to the Premier League to strengthen their midfield and has set its sights on Andrey Santos, a young Brazilian owned by Chelsea. As reported by Corriere dello Sport, the player intrigues the Bianconeri management both for his technical potential and the real possibility of closing the deal.
The London club, looking to reduce its squad and give space to emerging talents, would be willing to let Santos go on a straight loan. This solution would allow Juve to integrate him into the team immediately without an upfront payment, while Chelsea would still retain control over his future.
Milan is preparing for their season debut in the Coppa Italia against Bari, scheduled in less than a week. During this pre-season phase, Massimiliano Allegri has often experimented with a three-man defense, a tactical solution that requires an additional signing in the defensive department, in addition to the imminent arrival of Koni De Winter.
According to Tuttosport, the main target is Caleb Okoli, a Leicester center-back with previous Serie A experience who is keen to return to Italy. The English club values him at around 20 million euros. The options leading to Berat Djimsiti of Atalanta and Ryan Flamingo of PSV Eindhoven also remain open.
At Inter, the transfer market remains lively and among the possible departures, Mehdi Taremi’s name has emerged. The Iranian striker, who arrived on a free transfer last summer after his experience at Porto, could already leave Milan just a few months after his arrival.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Fulham is in pole position to secure the player, having overtaken Leeds United in the race. Inter would not oppose a departure that would free up a spot in the squad and reduce the wage bill. The deal could be completed as a loan with an option to buy, but a permanent transfer is also still possible.
Napoli continues to push in the transfer market and sporting director Manna is working to provide Conte with the final reinforcements of this summer window. The priority remains the signing of a right-back: Juanlu Sanchez from Sevilla is still the main target, but negotiations are proceeding slowly and management is considering alternative options.
According to Daniele Longo, among the names on the list is also Arnau Martinez from Girona, a club with which relations are excellent after the Gutierrez deal, now close to completion. It remains to be seen which path will be taken, but the arrival of a defensive reinforcement is now certain.
Roma continues preparations for their Serie A debut against Bologna, but another game is being played in the transfer market. The management is focused on keeping their key players during these final days of negotiations.
Among the most sought-after is Evan N’Dicka, coming off a high-level season, who is said to have attracted interest from Neom in Saudi Arabia. As reported by Il Messaggero, the Giallorossi club would only consider a sale in the face of an irresistible financial offer. In any case, a possible departure would only be considered after finding a replacement of equal technical value.
For Samuel Gigot, the adventure with Lazio could end much sooner than expected. The French defender, who arrived with the goal of becoming a pillar of Maurizio Sarri’s backline, has not managed to establish himself in the rotation and the club is seriously considering his sale.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, there is concrete interest from Ligue 1 and attractive offers from Qatar and Dubai. A transfer to the Middle East therefore appears to be a real possibility, also with a view to lightening the squad and opening the door to new signings.
Having arrived last January at the request of Raffaele Palladino, Pablo Marì could already leave Fiorentina in this transfer window. According to the Greek portal thrylos24.gr, Olympiacos has identified him as the ideal reinforcement for their defense.
The Spanish center-back, purchased in winter for about 2 million euros, is now valued at around 3.5 million, a figure within reach for the Piraeus club. Among the options is also a loan with an option or obligation to buy. The final decision will be up to the player.
