👀 Mbangula to Bundesliga, Insigne-Lazio, Theo’s replacement: today 🤑 | OneFootball

The transfer market has finally entered its most exciting phase, with Serie A clubs moving intensely to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.

Between done deals and market strategies, the race for big signings is becoming increasingly fierce. Let’s discover together all the latest news animating the market of Italy’s top clubs.

👋 Mbangula says goodbye

Samuel Mbangula, a young Belgian forward born in 2004, is one step away from a transfer to Werder Bremen. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus and the German club have reached a general agreement, although the deal has not yet been finalized in detail.

Werder has offered around 12 million euros, but the Bianconeri are aiming for a higher figure. The total valuation could rise above 15 million with the addition of bonuses linked to performance and objectives. New contacts are expected in the coming days to close the deal.

📈 Milan raises bid for Estupiñán

After missing out on Archie Brown, Milan has decided to target a more experienced profile for the left flank: the first name is Pervis Estupiñán from Brighton. The Ecuadorian full-back, born in 1997, has already expressed interest in moving to the Rossoneri.

The club from Via Aldo Rossi has submitted a 12 million euro offer, rejected by the English side who are asking for at least 23. Milan is now preparing a new bid of 15 million, excluding bonuses, with optimism that the player’s desire could help the deal go through. This is reported by MilanNews.it.

🇹🇷 Fener-Calha: offer ready

Fenerbahce is ready to make an official offer for Hakan Calhanoglu: according to SportMediaset, the Turkish club will put 20 million euros on the table to convince Inter to negotiate. The Nerazzurri, however, value the midfielder at at least 30 million.

For Calhanoglu, a three-year contract worth 6 million net per season plus bonuses is ready. At the moment, the player has not informed Inter of his intention to leave, but a signal could come soon.

⏳ Napoli, Juanlu getting closer

Napoli is close to finalizing the signing of Juanlu Sánchez, a right-back born in 2003 from Sevilla and a key player for Spain’s Under 21 team. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the player is expected in Italy by Tuesday to undergo medicals and join Antonio Conte’s squad at the Dimaro-Folgarida training camp.

The negotiations, which began in early June, have been settled on a basis of around 15 million euros: 12 million fixed, 2-3 million in bonuses, and a percentage on future resale. Sevilla, initially firm on a 20 million asking price, lowered their demands for budgetary reasons, thus opening the door to an agreement with the Azzurri. Juanlu will be an important piece in Napoli’s new technical era.

🧱 Roma, attempt for Ghilardi

According to Tuttosport, Roma has set its sights on Daniele Ghilardi, a young Verona defender, to strengthen their backline. The Giallorossi have reportedly made a total offer of 10 million euros, but Verona considers it insufficient.

The Verona club is asking for at least 12 million, also considering that 50% of the proceeds from a potential sale would go to Fiorentina, the player’s former club. The negotiations could therefore continue in the coming days, with Roma needing to raise their offer to try and close the deal.

👀 Is Insigne waiting for Lazio?

In a summer marked by a largely stalled transfer market, one of the few openings to strengthen coach Sarri’s squad seems to be represented by Lorenzo Insigne, fresh from his experience at Toronto FC in Canada.

The situation remains complex: if the club-imposed block is not resolved soon, the former Napoli player may have to wait until January to officially debut in the Biancoceleste shirt.

A possible solution, however, could allow him to start training early, as reported by Il Messaggero. Insigne could in fact train at the Formello training center, provided that the necessary insurance coverage is guaranteed. Contacts between the parties are ongoing, but it will be essential to convince both sporting director Fabiani and president Lotito to unlock the situation.

🪄 Fiorentina, three names for midfield

Fiorentina’s transfer market continues to focus on strengthening the midfield to offer coach Pioli an extra option in the center of the pitch. The priority remains Simon Sohm, for whom the latest Viola offer has reached 13 million euros, but negotiations with Parma remain complicated and Fiorentina is considering other solutions.

Among the most concrete alternatives is Kristjan Asllani, put on the market by Inter after Ausilio’s comments. Fiorentina remains interested, although it will be difficult to meet Inter’s demands, which are between 18 and 20 million.

A similar situation applies to Hugo Larsson: the young midfielder is appreciated, but Eintracht Frankfurt’s asking price, ranging from 25 to 30 million, remains a difficult obstacle to overcome. This is reported by Il Corriere dello Sport.
