Juve want Nunez, Okafor returns, Grealish to Napoli: transfer news 🤑 | OneFootball

Sunday kicked off with Wesley's arrival at Fiumicino airport: it's a hot time for the transfer market, with August just around the corner.

Let's then take a look at today's main news related to the big Serie A teams.

Juventus, opening for Nunez

Juventus is keeping an eye on Darwin Nunez as a possible reinforcement in attack, especially while waiting for news on Vlahovic. Liverpool values the player between 60 and 65 million euros, but would be willing to negotiate a loan with a conditional redemption, according to Tuttosport. The Bianconeri remain vigilant waiting for any openings.

However, competition is not lacking: Al-Hilal has already been on the trail of the Uruguayan, having made a 70 million offer in January, which was then rejected. The Saudi club could come back with a new proposal in the coming weeks. The situation remains open on several fronts. Read the full article.

Milan, relaunch for Okafor

Noah Okafor has relaunched himself at Milan with a brilliant brace against Liverpool, attracting the attention of the new coach Allegri and the sports director Tare. After a not very incisive loan at Napoli, the Swiss striker has shown coolness and quality under the goal, suddenly becoming central in the Rossoneri's plans. His performance has ignited the enthusiasm of the fans and reopened unexpected scenarios about his future.

Despite past interest from Flamengo, Okafor has reiterated his desire to stay in Europe and play his chances at Milan. Allegri sees him as a suitable profile for his project, so much so that his sale now seems less likely than that of Chukwueze. Read the full article.

Inter, Asllani's refusal

Kristjan Asllani is officially out of Inter's plans, who have listed him among the surplus with the intention of selling him. However, the Albanian midfielder has refused a transfer to Betis, preferring to stay in Serie A. This "no" has already made 15 million disappear, complicating the plans of the Nerazzurri management.

The main problem is that no Italian club has so far made offers in line with Inter's requests. The company aims to sell abroad, where Asllani has more market, but the player remains firm in his position. If he does not change his mind, the only way forward could be the loan, a solution not appreciated in Milan: the arm wrestling continues.

Napoli, eyes on Grealish

Jack Grealish has ended up in Napoli's sights, who are considering the Manchester City winger identified as the ideal reinforcement for the wings after Kvaratskhelia's goodbye. The City would be willing to let him go for about 45 million pounds (about 50-53 M €), a more sustainable figure compared to Manchester United's requests for Garnacho. Guardiola has opened up to the farewell, stressing that Grealish "needs to play and find himself" after also being excluded from the Club World Cup.

However, the decisive knot is the engagement: Grealish currently receives about 17-18 M £/€ gross per season, a figure out of reach for Napoli. The Partenopei would have to obtain a significant salary cut or aim for a loan with co-participation of the engagement with the City. The alternative continues with Garnacho, a younger but also more expensive profile, while Napoli has allocated a budget of about 53 M € for a single external reinforcement

Roma, thinking about Palhinha

Roma is looking for a new reinforcement in midfield after the arrival of El Aynaoui, and João Palhinha is the profile that most intrigues the management. The Portuguese midfielder is leaving Bayern Munich, where he did not shine as expected after the excellent stint at Fulham. Massara leads the contacts to assess the feasibility of the operation, according to Il Messaggero.

Palhinha would guarantee physicality, experience and tactical order, ideal qualities to complete the Giallorossi's midfield. Roma aims for a sustainable operation, perhaps resorting to creative formulas. The signal is clear: the market in the middle of the field remains a priority for the Capitoline.

Lazio, last call for Belahyane

For Reda Belahyane it is the decisive moment: the young midfielder will have a month to convince Maurizio Sarri during the summer retreat. After a season with only six appearances, the Tuscan coach has decided to test him in the role of mezzala, moving him from his usual place in front of the defense. The competition with Guendouzi, Rovella and Cataldi makes the role of director too crowded.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Sarri believes in the potential of the 2004 class and will observe him carefully to assess his adaptability and tactical maturity. If he fails to earn space in the rotations, Lazio is ready to loan him out. The next few weeks will therefore be crucial for the future of the young Algerian. Read the full article.

Fiorentina, double thread with Betis

Fiorentina has shown interest in Pablo Fornals, midfielder of Real Betis with experiences in the Premier League and Liga. Despite an initial contact between the Viola management and the player's entourage, the negotiation has cooled down. Fornals, in fact, has expressed the desire to stay in Andalusia.

Betis, for its part, does not intend to deprive itself of the player given the current emergency in midfield, making the operation even more difficult. Meanwhile, on the sales front, Flamengo has offered 12 million for Lucas Beltran, according to Corriere Fiorentino, but the Argentine prefers to stay in Europe. Fiorentina remains waiting for developments on both fronts.
