As the Lookman soap opera continues and Son announces his departure from Tottenham, the market remains abuzz. The headquarters of the main teams are bustling as they strive to create the most competitive squad possible.
Let’s take a look at the main market news of the day related to the major Italian teams.
Juventus, Weah on his way out
Juventus is about to part ways with Timothy Weah, according to Matteo Moretto.
The American winger had reached an agreement with Marseille in recent days: it now seems that the two clubs are close to a deal for around 13 million euros. Read the full article.
Milan, the update on Doué and Musah
There are clarifications on some points related to Milan’s transfer market: once again, the source is Matteo Moretto, who spoke on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel.
On one hand, there is confirmation of interest in Doué, a player who is economically out of reach for Milan, given Strasbourg’s demand of 30 million. There are also denials regarding outgoing operations, as Moretto states that the negotiation with Nottingham Forest for Yunus Musah is currently not on the table, as the English club has other priorities in midfield.
Inter, plan B activated
With the negotiation for Lookman still stalled and seemingly close to a definitive halt, Inter might consider some alternatives to the Atalanta forward.
According to Tuttosport, the Nerazzurri have several names in mind, and Christopher Nkunku, who has been mentioned recently, is not a priority.
The suspect could be Lois Openda from Leipzig, a player already replaced by the German club with the signing of Johan Bakayoko and with a strong interest in joining a team that allows him to play in the Champions League.
Napoli, Simeone wants to stay…
The future of Giovanni Simeone is also being decided these days, as he is set to leave Napoli following the arrival of Lorenzo Lucca.
Nottingham Forest had also shown interest in the Cholito, but the Argentine reportedly turned them down as, for personal and family reasons, he intends to stay in Italy. Thus, there are two main contenders for him: Torino and Pisa, with the former trying to reach an agreement with the Neapolitans after having found a preliminary agreement with the player.
He is not the only name on the way out: according to Matteo Moretto, there is a verbal agreement between Napoli and Ipswich for Jens Cajuste on loan.
Roma, a forward says goodbye
Ola Solbakken’s adventure at Roma has definitively ended: the Norwegian forward, formerly of Bodo, is now close to joining Denmark’s Nordsjaelland.
The Norwegian arrived in January 2023 in the capital, but failed to impress and couldn’t revive his Italian experience even during the year spent on loan at Empoli.
Lazio, midfield secured
The end of a nightmare at Lazio: with the start of the new month, the exit clauses of two important midfielders in the Biancocelesti squad have expired.
Both Rovella and Guendouzi had a clause set at 50 million, which could only be activated in the summer market and only until the end of July. Guendouzi had admirers in the Premier League, while Inter showed interest in Rovella.
Fiorentina, Mandragora uncertainty
At the beginning of the summer, Rolando Mandragora’s contract renewal seemed a formality, especially given Pioli’s intention to keep him as a key player for his Fiorentina, but now things seem to have changed.
According to La Nazione, the stalemate between the club and the player over extending the current agreement could result in the midfielder’s sale, valued by Viola between 8 and 10 million. Read the full article.
