🎯 Juve, what a tangle for the striker

Juventus is evaluating new options to strengthen their attack, and among the names being followed is Darwin Núñez. According to Corriere dello Sport, an exploratory inquiry was made with Liverpool, but the Uruguayan is now close to joining Al-Hilal. The English club is still asking for 60 million euros, a figure out of reach for the Bianconeri, who are only considering a loan with a conditional buyout clause—a formula already rejected by PSG for Kolo Muani.

The track leading to Rasmus Højlund appears more concrete. According to English sources, Manchester United is considering a loan with an option to buy for around 50 million. The Dane is blocked by new arrivals, and Juve is watching closely, ready to move if there are any formal openings.

Meanwhile, Sancho has been excluded from the Red Devils’ summer tour, while the former Atalanta player will travel with the team. His future is still undecided, whereas the Englishman’s will definitely be far from Manchester.

👋 Colombo saying goodbye to Milan again?

Milan continues to work on building its squad and, among the possible departures, there is also Lorenzo Colombo. The striker, born in 2002, is coming off an inconsistent season with Empoli that ended in relegation, and is at the center of new contacts between the Rossoneri and Parma.

As reported by Matteo Moretto, the Emilian club has shown concrete interest and is seriously considering Colombo’s profile to strengthen the attack entrusted to Pepo Cuesta. The negotiation is still in its early stages, but Parma would be ready to guarantee him playing time and confidence within an ambitious project aiming for a comfortable survival and, if possible, something more.

💬 Calha’s agent "warns" Inter

The future of Hakan Calhanoglu remains one of the hottest topics of the Nerazzurri transfer market, with Inter fans awaiting concrete developments. Gordon Stipic, the Turkish midfielder’s agent, reignited speculation by speaking to TRT Sport with statements that sound like a direct message to the management.

“There are many phone calls and ongoing contacts,” he said, “and it’s normal for that to happen. But at this moment, clearer and more fluid communication is needed from those making the decisions.” With the market still long, the agent’s words fuel the possibility of a departure and place Calhanoglu at the center of a situation that risks becoming complicated.

🫂 Grealish joining KDB in Naples?

Napoli continues to be a major player in the market. After the arrival of Noa Lang from PSV, the Azzurri are decisively targeting a new attacking winger. The deal for Dan Ndoye is becoming complicated due to Nottingham Forest’s involvement, so management is considering high-level alternatives.

Among these, Jack Grealish stands out: the Manchester City playmaker is on the market, and Napoli has reportedly already started exploratory contacts. The main obstacle is his salary, but if the Citizens were to contribute to his wages, the scenario could become more concrete. A difficult move, but not to be ruled out. This is reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.

👀 Roma, Laurienté moves away

Armand Laurienté was considered by Roma to strengthen their attack, but after the failed deal with Sunderland, his candidacy has cooled. According to Gazzetta Regionale, there have been no further contacts between the Giallorossi and Sassuolo in recent days.

The capital club has shifted its focus to other targets, with sporting director Frederic Massara working to close two important deals: Wesley from Flamengo and Ghilardi from Verona. Laurienté remains in search of a new club, with his future still to be decided.

🧱 Lazio, eyes on the former Milan player

Lazio is already looking ahead to the next winter transfer window with the aim of strengthening the defense. Among the profiles being followed is Jan-Carlo Simic, a young 20-year-old Serbian defender currently playing for Anderlecht, according to La Repubblica – Rome edition.

Simic, who trained in Milan’s youth sector between 2022 and 2024, is a modern and versatile defender. With good speed, effectiveness in aerial play, and the ability to build from the back, he fits perfectly into Maurizio Sarri’s tactical system. Lazio considers him an interesting investment for the future of their defense.

📉 Three top midfielders lose ground

Fiorentina is watching the midfield market closely, but for now prefers to wait for Stefano Pioli’s decisions. It will be the coach who decides which players to keep in the squad and which to let go.

Simon Sohm from Parma remains one of the club’s most appreciated profiles. However, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, other names such as Kessie, Asllani, and Bennacer, though admired, are not currently a priority. The main goal of management is to reduce the wage bill, aiming to cut the most expensive contracts to ensure more sustainable management.
