From Juventus still searching for a striker, to Inter possibly strengthening their right flank, and Napoli looking to add more quality: there are many negotiations that could open up in the coming days.

Juventus, Chelsea wants D. Luiz

As reported by David Ornstein of The Athletic, Chelsea is considering taking Douglas Luiz on loan from Nottingham Forest.

For the player – who is owned by Juve – the obligation to buy for €28.5 million remains uncertain, which would be triggered upon his 15th appearance of at least 45 minutes in the Premier League: so far, the player has completed only 5 matches with this playing time in the league.

Milan, Onstein cools off!

A few days ago, Matteo Moretto had good news for Milan fans regarding Juwensley Onstein. The Genk defender seemed very close to wearing the Rossoneri shirt, so much so that Moretto even said the "club was finalizing details with the player."

Today, however, the situation has changed. In the last few hours – as Moretto reports – just as the Rossoneri club was preparing to welcome the player to Milan for his medical and signing, the negotiation has effectively stalled and is currently on stand-by. Moreover, the possibility that Onstein does not sign for Milan is now high.

Inter, talks reopen for Mlacic

Inter continues its work in the transfer market: after securing the arrival of young Leon Jakirovic from Dinamo Zagreb, the club is now decisively targeting another Croatian talent, Branimir Mlačić.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, a meeting has been confirmed between the Nerazzurri directors and agent Fali Ramadani, who represents the 2007-born defender from Hajduk Split. An agreement with the Croatian club has already been reached, but the final decision rests with the player: if Mlačić accepts the proposed terms, the deal will be completed; otherwise, it risks falling through.

Napoli, three names for the post-Lang

Napoli is searching for a new attacking reinforcement to replace the departing Noa Lang. To the names already linked to the club, such as Giovane, Daniel Maldini, and Raheem Sterling, a particularly interesting profile has now been added.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Azzurri are keeping a close eye on Abde Ezzalzouli of Real Betis. Born in 2001 and among the most promising talents in La Liga, the Moroccan is admired by the Italian champions both for his technical qualities and his significant room for growth.

Roma, Venturino signed and new funds!

As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma has completed the signing of Venturino from Genoa: a loan with an option to buy for 7 million euros.

Furthermore, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Friedkins have approved an increase in Roma’s share capital, raising it from €650 million to €800 million. These are fresh resources that will be reinvested in the final two weeks of the winter transfer window.

Now, the ball is in Massara’s court. The club’s main targets are Niccolò Fortini for the wing, for whom more than €15 million will be needed, and a striker. The shortlist includes Mathys Tel from Tottenham and Leo Sauer from Feyenoord.

Lazio, watch out for Ranieri as Romagnoli’s replacement

With the possible departure of Alessio Romagnoli, Lazio is looking for a central defender capable of taking over his role.

According to Messaggero, several names are on sporting director Fabiani’s list. In addition to left-footed defender Kike Salas from Sevilla, who was already tracked last year, Diogo Leite and Danilho Doekhi, both from Union Berlin and out of contract in June, have also emerged. The strongest candidate – revealed in the last few hours – comes from Serie A: Luca Ranieri, who has been consistently left out of Fiorentina’s starting XI for several weeks now. Contacts could open soon.

Fiorentina, if Fortini leaves, all in on Maldini

Fiorentina continues to look for quality in the market. According to Il Corriere dello Sport - Stadio, the Viola are considering Daniel Maldini, but the deal depends on the possible departure of Fortini.

Interest in the 2006-born player is high and the club’s asking price is between €15 and €20 million. Juventus and Roma are also considering him. If Fortini does leave, Fiorentina could immediately redirect those funds towards Maldini. The former Milan player – now at Atalanta – is a favored profile, and the fact that he is represented by the same agent as Brescianini could facilitate the negotiation. As mentioned in the section dedicated to the Azzurri, Napoli is also interested in the player.
