The transfer market is entering its busiest weeks, and in Serie A, all sorts of things are happening: some clubs are making tweaks to their squads, while others need to overhaul their rosters just days before the start of the league season.
Now let’s take a look at today’s most important transfer news involving Serie A’s top clubs.
Juventus, Leipzig’s Raum is a target
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus would like to complete their squad with a left-sided defender as well, even though their top priority remains signing a goalkeeper.
One of the names they like most for the flank is David Raum: the 28-year-old Leipzig left-back is under contract until 2027, and that could make a potential deal easier. Meanwhile, the details are being finalized for Lucumí, who will undergo his medical on Sunday.
Milan, Dodo, Zalewski and Nuno Tavares are liked
Milan (who will face Manchester United without 8 players) will need to strengthen out wide, and La Gazzetta dello Sport linked several names, also confirmed by Daniele Longo of calciomercato.com: Dodo (on the right), Zalewski and Nuno Tavares (on the left) are all appreciated.
The Fiorentina wide man is under contract until 2027 and could arrive for an affordable fee, Zalewski does not have a clearly defined tactical role in Sarri’s Atalanta, while Nuno Tavares raises some doubts because of his physical issues.
Inter, Kamaté sale slows down
As reported by Matteo Moretto, the deal between Inter and Espanyol for Kamaté is stalling: there had previously been an agreement for his permanent transfer for €3 million plus 50% of any future resale.
In the next few days, the Nerazzurri club will consider other offers for the 2004-born winger, who this summer turned down offers from Atletico Madrid (to play for the second team) and Palermo.
Napoli, Ajax like Noa Lang
According to Fabrizio Romano, Noa Lang is one of Ajax’s favorite names to replace Mika Godts, who is set to join PSG for around €55 million.
Atalanta have also shown interest in Lang, but only on loan: a formula disliked by both Napoli and the player. The winger is also liked by Galatasaray, who however see him as an alternative, as the Turkish club’s preferred profiles are Martinelli and Leao.
Roma, Fofana’s price drops
While waiting for Porto’s final response for Rodrigo Mora, Roma are protecting themselves in case the deal falls through. According to Alfredo Pedullà, contacts for Malick Fofana have become active again: the Lyon winger born in 2004.
His valuation of €40 million plus bonuses is said to be decreasing, and the player continues to provide guarantees from a physical standpoint: three days ago he played almost 90 minutes in the Champions League qualifier against Sparta Prague.
Lazio, new name for the defense
After Gattuso’s words, which seem to move Icardi further away, Lazio are also looking at a defensive signing.
As written by La Gazzetta dello Sport, they like Stepan Chaloupek: a 23-year-old center-back for Slavia Prague, valued at around €10 million. Besides him, the name of Hautekiet from Standard Liège also remains of interest.
Fiorentina, what is missing to close Thorstvedt deal
As reported by FirenzeViola, Sassuolo are said to be annoyed by the reports linking Thorstvedt with Fiorentina. In fact, the Viola club have not yet submitted an official bid, despite having had an agreement with the player for some time on a contract until 2031.
Fiorentina would first like to sell one of Brescianini and Fabbian and then complete the move for Thorstvedt, possibly including Fortini in the deal. Sassuolo have let it be known that, in the absence of suitable offers, the midfielder could also stay until his contract expires.
