All eyes are on the other side of the Atlantic, but the transfer market is heating up too, with clubs hunting for reinforcements and negotiations starting to catch fire: let’s take a look at the biggest stories involving Serie A’s top teams.

Juventus, Kessié back in the frame

Franck Kessié’s name is once again circling around Juventus. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Ivorian midfielder turned down a renewal offer from Al Ahli worth a total of €24 million over two seasons.

The former Milan player is said to have expressed a desire to return to Europe, with Italy seen as a particularly appealing destination. His entourage has reportedly offered the player to the Bianconeri once again, but Juventus would prefer to wait until their new executive structure is finalized before making definitive transfer decisions.

Milan, fresh contacts with Jaissle

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Oliver Glasner track for the Milan bench is not as clear-cut as reported by the media. The Rossoneri are also closely evaluating Matthias Jaissle.

There was reportedly a new meeting today between Jaissle and the club’s management, following an initial exploratory contact in Spain. The German coach is considered a real and current candidate, not just a simple alternative.  

Inter, Hornicek remains a target: Braga won’t negotiate

Inter continue to closely monitor Lukas Hornicek, Braga’s young goalkeeper.

According to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, the Nerazzurri have already made an initial attempt for the 2002-born player, but without receiving any significant encouragement. The Portuguese club considers the goalkeeper a key part of its technical project and continues to refer to his €30 million release clause.

The player is also attracting interest from Porto, Benfica, and Leeds United. In addition, after the World Cup, a renewal offer could arrive that would further strengthen Braga’s position.

Napoli, Allegri puts a lock on Lobotka: Manna working on renewal

Napoli’s new era starts again from one certainty: Stanislav Lobotka. According to Il Roma, Massimiliano Allegri has vetoed any possible sale of the Slovak playmaker, considering him indispensable to his technical project.

Lobotka’s contract runs until 2027 and includes a €25 million release clause valid only for foreign clubs until mid-July. For this reason, sporting director Giovanni Manna is said to be working on a solution that would further extend the relationship between the club and the midfielder, definitively ruling out any transfer scenarios.

Roma, Gasperini wants Pulisic

Christian Pulisic’s future could become one of the most interesting topics of the upcoming summer transfer window. The American winger, currently involved with the United States national team at the World Cup, has in fact ended up on Roma’s radar.

According to journalist Daniele Longo, the Giallorossi have identified Milan’s No. 11 as one of the ideal profiles to strengthen the attack ahead of next season. The appreciation reportedly comes directly from Gian Piero Gasperini, who sees the former Chelsea player as perfect because of his technical qualities, versatility, and ability to make an impact between the lines.

At the moment, however, there are no concrete negotiations between the two clubs. For now, it is simply interest and technical appreciation that could eventually turn into something more in the coming weeks. Much will depend both on Roma’s transfer strategy and on Milan’s decisions, as the club is still working on defining its new executive structure and choosing a coach for next season.

The situation therefore remains at a preliminary stage, but Pulisic’s name has been added to the profiles being monitored by the Giallorossi management to strengthen the attack and raise the technical level of the squad ahead of the new technical cycle.

Lazio, the names to replace Romagnoli

Alessio Romagnoli’s time at Lazio now seems close to coming to an end.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Al Sadd have now finalized an agreement with the defender based on a three-year contract worth €6 million per season plus bonuses. Only the final details with the Biancocelesti remain to be sorted out, with Lazio said to have requested immediate payment of the €3 million set for the transfer.

While waiting for it to become official, Lazio are already evaluating possible replacements. Among the names being monitored are Lautaro Rivero of River Plate, Fabio Chiarodia of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Dominguez of Dinamo Zagreb, and Arnau Martinez of Girona.

Fiorentina, Kanté emerges as a midfield option

Fiorentina continue their search for midfield reinforcements for the new project led by Fabio Grosso. According to Footmercato, one of the profiles being watched most closely is Mohamadou Kanté, the 2005-born French defensive midfielder owned by West Ham United.

There is, however, strong competition for the player, with Marseille and Monaco having already shown interest. His contract until 2031 gives the English club a strong position, and they value the midfielder at around €20 million. Fiorentina are carrying out their assessments and could decide to accelerate in the coming weeks.
