Tudor backs favourite, Allegri-Dusan tension, Inter eyes Saudi 🇸🇦🤑

All eyes will be on tonight’s match between Italy and Norway, but before that, the market is taking center stage as usual.

Not only Chivu to Inter and the official announcement of Kelly to Juventus: there are many market news that have emerged during the day and here are some of the most important ones.

After Juventus decided not to extend Renato Veiga’s loan, who is set to return to Chelsea, the Turin club is looking for a substitute in defense. Among the names considered with greater insistence is that of Balerdi, central defender of Marseille, already trained by Igor Tudor in the past.

The Argentine, class of ’99, who also holds an Italian passport, represents a welcome profile for the former Bianconero coach. His experience in Ligue 1 makes him a solid option for the defensive department.

Milan is particularly active in this phase of the transfer market, with the clear goal of inserting a striker capable of scoring in double figures into the squad. The name at the top of the list, according to what is reported by Calciomercato.com, is that of Dusan Vlahovic.

The Serbian center-forward, who is leaving Juventus, has been one of Massimiliano Allegri’s favorites for some time. The Tuscan coach, now involved in the Rossonero project, would have requested to deepen contacts with the Bianconeri. The first talks, already started for Cambiaso, could facilitate the negotiation.

Inter will be able to invest in the market again thanks to a positive budget and revenues exceeding 500 million euros. To these revenues will be added those deriving from possible sales. Among the concerns of the fans is the risk that Inzaghi’s arrival at Al-Hilal will attract profiles like Bastoni and Barella.

The first was already probed by Al-Nassr in January, who stopped in front of the request for 80 million. Barella, on the other hand, said no to a monstrous offer of 30 million per year, but Al-Hilal insists. The Saudi club is also aiming for Osimhen, Ederson, and Theo, with the goal of delivering a star-studded team to Simone Inzaghi by June 18 for the Club World Cup.

Antonio Conte has already made up his mind about the Napoli that will be: the club is ready to formalize the arrival of Kevin De Bruyne at the beginning of next week. The club aims to complete the squad with seven other signings to face the four scheduled competitions. This is reported by today’s edition of Il Mattino.

One of the coach’s priorities concerns a right winger capable of guaranteeing width and coverage along the entire flank, in support of Di Lorenzo. At the top of the list is Raoul Bellanova, protagonist of a positive season with Atalanta. Bought for 25 million, he could only leave in the face of a significant offer.

Roma has set its sights on Jhon Lucumí to strengthen the defensive department, considering him a primary target. The Colombian central defender is valued at around 20 million euros by Bologna, which has already rejected lower offers. This is reported by TMW.

However, it appears complicated that the Emilian club will decide to sell both Lucumí and Beukema in the same transfer window. The next few days will be decisive in understanding whether there will be room for negotiation. The situation remains evolving.

Taty Castellanos is not among the unsellable players of Lazio and could leave the club in the summer. According to what is reported by alfredopedulla.com, the company would be willing to evaluate offers starting from 30 million euros to reinvest in a bomber with different characteristics.

Castellanos himself also seems to be considering the idea of a change of shirt, evaluating possible alternatives. From the Premier League and Saudi Arabia, the first surveys have arrived, but so far without concrete developments. Only concrete offers could start the negotiation for the farewell.

Fiorentina has initiated contacts for the contract renewal of Dodo, expiring in 2027, but the Brazilian full-back has not yet provided an answer. The club’s proposal provides for a salary adjustment only at the end of the agreement, a hypothesis that does not fully convince the player. The situation is therefore at a standstill, as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport.

This uncertainty has attracted the interest of several European clubs, including Barcelona, Milan, and Inter, ready to monitor the evolution of the case. In the last few hours, Juventus has also entered the race for the full-back. Dodô’s future remains open to possible developments.
