Let’s take a look at today’s biggest stories.

💣 Juve pushing for Zirkzee and Kessié

Juventus are preparing their final transfer moves and are aiming to bring in two major reinforcements. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, contacts are continuing for Franck Kessié and Joshua Zirkzee: for the Dutchman, however, a solution must first be found for David, whose sale remains complicated at the moment.

The Kessié track is more concrete. According to Sky Sport, the Ivorian wants to return to Europe and is prioritizing Juventus despite other offers received. Arthur’s departure has freed up space, but another midfield exit may be needed before the Bianconeri make their final move.

💥 Milan, Nkunku pushing for Leipzig! Ricci, Estupinian...

Milan are working on the possible sale of Christopher Nkunku, who has expressed his preference for Leipzig and is open to a return to Germany. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the clubs are making progress on the basis of a loan with an option to buy, for a total package worth €33-35 million. Newcastle and other English clubs remain interested, but the Frenchman’s priority is Leipzig.

There are also developments on the outgoing front involving Ricci and Estupinan. As reported by Corriere della Sera, Como still like the midfielder and are offering a loan with an option, while Milan would prefer an obligation to buy or a permanent transfer. As for Estupinan, the situation has changed: according to Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto, staying at Milan is now a concrete possibility after his departure had seemed close.

🆕 Inter, Martinelli if Luis Henrique leaves?

Inter’s transfer market could heat up even more if Luis Henrique leaves, with Roma and several Premier League clubs interested in him. According to Tuttosport, if the Brazilian departs, Chivu would want an attacking wide player capable of also playing as an attacking midfielder, with traits similar to Perisic or Chiesa.

There is also attention on Bonny’s situation: faced with an offer of at least €40 million, the Nerazzurri could consider a sale and move for a top-level striker. Among the profiles under consideration is also Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli, a possible target should the financial conditions for a major investment arise.

⚔️ Napoli, strong competition for Guiu

As revealed by Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli are looking at Marc Guiu as a possible attacking reinforcement, but there is no shortage of competition. According to SportES, the 20-year-old asked Chelsea to let him leave in order to find more continuity, even going so far as to ask not to be registered and not to be assigned a squad number for the new season.

In addition to the Azzurri, Sevilla and Deportivo La Coruña are also said to be tracking Guiu, with the Andalusian club reportedly already having made positive initial contact. In the background, possible Premier League options also remain for the Spanish striker, who is coming off a loan spell at Sunderland.

👋 Roma, is Man City also dropping the Koné track?

Manchester City seem to be moving definitively away from Manu Koné in order to focus their attention on Ayyoub Bouaddi, identified as a possible heir to Rodri. According to Matteo Moretto, the Citizens are pushing for the Lille midfielder and the deal is said to be close to completion, despite the French club’s €100 million asking price.

A situation that suits Roma, with the English route for Koné now set to lose momentum. The Frenchman should therefore continue his adventure in the capital and remain available to Gasperini: he is expected to be on the pitch as usual on Monday against Fiorentina for the Giallorossi’s league opener.

💪 Lazio, Ratkov wants to convince Gattuso

Petar Ratkov’s future is still unwritten. The Serbian striker, who arrived from Salzburg, did not have much luck under Maurizio Sarri and is not considered the first choice even by new coach Gennaro Gattuso, who is instead looking for forwards with different characteristics. Despite this, however, as reported by Il Messaggero, Ratkov does not seem to have any intention of leaving Lazio.

The former Salzburg player has in fact reportedly turned down every offer made to him in order to stay with the Biancocelesti. His intention is therefore to convince Gattuso and earn a place in the starting eleven. The Serbian striker rejected offers from Dynamo Moscow, Red Star and Southampton.

🔥 Fiorentina, Poku now very close

Fiorentina continue to strengthen the squad, with sporting director Fabio Paratici now closing in on yet another signing in a transfer window that has so far been full of deals. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the move that would bring Ernest Poku to Florence could be unlocked soon on the basis of a loan with an obligation to buy. Talks between Fiorentina and Bayer Leverkusen are progressing quickly, and Grosso could soon have his new attacking winger.

Again according to the Rosea, Viola’s idea is to increase the paid loan fee and then include a mandatory purchase in June 2027, reaching a total cost of around €20 million, therefore less than the €25 million initially planned with an option to buy.
