Let’s take a look together at the most important news of the day.
Juve, deal done for Ličina from Bayern Munich
Juventus has finalized the agreement for the immediate arrival of Adin Ličina from Bayern Munich. According to Fabrizio Romano, the German club will retain a 30% sell-on clause, while the player is set to sign a long-term contract. This is a deal set up with a clear perspective for growth.
Behind the negotiation is the agency that also brought Kenan Yildiz to Turin in 2022, again from Bayern. A direct line that is renewed and confirms Juve’s focus on young international talents.
Milan-Maignan, signing today: he’s at the headquarters
The long negotiation between Milan and Mike Maignan has reached its decisive moment: the announcement comes from Matteo Moretto. After complex months and a negotiation that at times seemed destined to collapse, today the final act is expected with the French goalkeeper arriving at the headquarters to sign.
The agreement provides for the extension of the contract until 2030, with an option to further extend it to 2031. A strong move by the Rossoneri club, securing their seasonal MVP and considering his stay the real coup of the transfer market.
Inter, Liverpool closes the door on Curtis Jones
Liverpool is not open to selling Curtis Jones in the January transfer window. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the Reds first rejected an inquiry from Tottenham about three weeks ago, and then turned down a loan proposal from Inter in the last few hours.

The midfielder has a contract valid until June 2027 and the club does not intend to let him leave on loan without a contract renewal. A clear stance from Liverpool, determined to keep the player.
Napoli, waiting for the Lookman-Sulemana domino
Napoli remains on standby awaiting developments regarding Lookman’s future, a key piece in a possible domino effect in Serie A. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that a potential sale of the winger to Atletico Madrid would lead Atalanta to keep Sulemana, effectively closing any room for maneuver for the Azzurri club.
A different scenario would arise if Lookman stays in Bergamo: in that case, Kamaldeen Sulemana would become a concrete target for Napoli, ready to close the deal on a paid loan with an option to buy. In the background, the candidacy of Alisson Santos from Sporting also remains on hold.
Roma-Besiktas, first contacts for Vasquez
Besiktas continues to monitor the Roma market and, after rumors about Tsimikas which were later denied by Trigoria, has shifted its attention to another Giallorossi profile. At the center of discussions is Vasquez, the third-choice goalkeeper who arrived in the summer on a free transfer and has not yet played in any official matches.

The Colombian has only played in the friendly against Cannes, while Gollini has already made his seasonal debut. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Turkish club has initiated first contacts with Roma and news could emerge in the coming hours regarding the goalkeeper’s future.
Lazio, Diogo Leite off after Romagnoli?
Given the failed negotiation for Romagnoli, who stayed in the capital, the deal for Diogo Leite—identified as the right profile to replace him—may also fall through.
According to transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the agreement with Union Berlin was very close: the deal should have been finalized for around 2.5 million euros. We must wait for updates.
Fiorentina, all-in on defense: Dragusin on top
Fiorentina is ready to go all-in during the final hours of the transfer window to strengthen the defense. According to La Nazione, the Viola management has decided to strongly focus on Radu Dragusin, identified as the ideal profile to complete the defensive department, choosing to wait until Monday before turning to other solutions.

The wait, however, is not without alternatives: contacts remain alive for Niakaté and Bijol, profiles considered reliable in case of a breakdown in negotiations. In the background, the name of Diogo Leite also returns, a center-back who has never really left the Viola radar.
