💥 David, Gyökeres updates, Reijnders replacement: today’s transfers 🤑

The Italian football transfer market scene is dominated by the issue concerning Inter’s bench, still searching for Simone Inzaghi’s successor.

Obviously, there are many news items: here, we read the most important ones of the day.

The Canadian, released from Lille, has long been in the sights of several Italian clubs, with Juventus, Inter, and Napoli among the most interested. The Bianconeri, thanks to the work initiated by Giuntoli, have reached a preliminary agreement on a five-year contract worth 6 million plus 2 in bonuses.

La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights how – now – it is up to Comolli, the new head of Juventus’ market, to close the deal or turn elsewhere. With Inter and Napoli slowed down by other fronts, Juve can take advantage to secure the first big hit of the summer.

After the sale of Reijnders to Manchester City for 75 million, Milan aims to replace him with a physical and technical profile. The first name, as anticipated by La Gazzetta dello Sport, could be Rabiot, currently at Marseille and linked to Allegri: thanks to an informal agreement, he could leave for 10 million.

However, according to Matteo Moretto, the path may not be very feasible, so the alternative is represented by Guendouzi from Lazio, a midfielder already tested in Serie A and appreciated for his versatility. Meanwhile, Modric has also arrived, but due to his age, he won’t be the only reinforcement: another starter is needed to complete the department.

Correa is one step away from transferring to Botafogo. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Argentine striker has reached a preliminary agreement with the Brazilian club coached by Jorge.

To close the deal, only the definition of a signing bonus is missing. Barring surprises, therefore, the former Lazio player is ready to start a new adventure in Brazil.

Corriere dello Sport takes stock of Napoli’s attack situation. The big dream for the Azzurri is Viktor Gyökeres: 54 goals this season with Sporting Lisbon, but with very high costs and competition from the Premier League and Atletico Madrid, he remains in the background.

The Bonny track is more concrete: today, sporting director Manna will meet with Parma to negotiate the 21-year-old Frenchman, valued at 25 million. Inter is lurking. Also in the background are Darwin Núñez (with Atletico ready for an auction) and Sorloth, who scored 20 goals in La Liga: opportunities to seize in a high-intensity attack market.

Roma is looking at Nikola Krstovic to strengthen the offensive department. The Montenegrin closed his second season at Lecce in double figures and, as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, has attracted the attention of sporting director Ghisolfi.

The Giallorossi club follows the profile with interest but does not intend to participate in auctions. Lecce, however, starts with a request of 25 million: the negotiation promises to be complicated.

Awaiting Sarri’s official return scheduled for Thursday, Lazio reflects on the summer market, with particular attention to the left-back role.

Nuno Tavares and Pellegrini will be evaluated in retreat, but in the meantime, the club is monitoring two alternatives: Fabiano Parisi, already followed during his time at Empoli, and Junior Firpo, who could arrive on a free transfer. Milan has backed off, leaving space for Lazio to make a move.

Among the hypotheses for Fiorentina’s technical guidance, the name of Fatih Terim emerges. According to FirenzeViola.it, the former Viola coach, now at Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia, has been proposed to the Tuscan club.

Terim, turning 72 in September, is one of the most successful coaches in Turkish history. In Florence, he left a good memory despite the few months of his first stint, thanks to the brilliant play displayed. A return that would have the flavor of a suggestion.
