Italy’s morning editions hail a golden haul at the European Championships, while transfer talk centres on Inter’s pursuit of Djed Spence and Juventus’s Perth friendly.
Nicolò Martinenghi, Simona Quadarella and Nadia Battocletti claimed gold in the pool and on the track, with Sara Curtis taking 100m freestyle bronze. Marcell Jacobs’s day ended in injury in the 100m final after impressing in his semi.
Corriere dello Sport reports that Spence is Cristian Chivu’s priority to succeed Denzel Dumfries at Inter, with personal terms agreed and clubs closing on a fee of around €30m.
Corriere dello Sport also says Lyon’s Malick Fofana is being considered for the left and Curtis Jones remains an option, with funds linked to Davide Frattesi’s sale after Lazio asked for a loan. Luis Henrique is said to be nearing a €27m switch to Roma.
Juventus beat Filippo Inzaghi’s Palermo 2-0 in Perth through Kenan Yıldız and Arkadiusz Milik. Tuttosport describes Luciano Spalletti as confident, noting talk of having raised the level, Douglas Luiz being able to stay, an agreement for Jhon Lucumí and a fresh bid to Bologna. Zion Suzuki’s move to PSG is complete, clearing the way for a long-targeted loan.
Corriere dello Sport adds that Roma are close to Porto’s Rodrigo Mora on a loan with obligation, alongside the €27m capture of Luis Henrique, with Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie also targeted. In Naples, Romelu Lukaku’s exit to Fenerbahçe is sealed, freeing Napoli to chase their dream of Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus, while Benoît Badiashile remains the defensive priority.
