👀 Juve, Mazraoui target slips away

It’s now clear that Juventus are looking for a reinforcement on the flanks, and Mazraoui has long been on Comolli’s shortlist. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, the situation is following the same pattern as with other players leaving Manchester United.

The Red Devils are in full rebuilding mode and have just appointed Michael Carrick as interim manager until the end of the season. This transitional period for United is making talks complicated and negotiations anything but straightforward.

❌ Milan, talent slips away: heading to the Premier League

Milan risks missing out on one of their winter transfer targets: Sidiki Chérif is getting closer and closer to Crystal Palace. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Rossoneri’s chances of landing the Angers striker are now slim.

From the start, the entourage of the 2006-born player expressed the desire to move him to other leagues, also for financial reasons. Now the situation seems set: the agents have reached a verbal agreement with Crystal Palace, making a move to Milan increasingly unlikely.

🔥 Inter, Ndoye back in fashion: possible swap deal?

The name Davide Frattesi continues to be linked with the international market, especially the Premier League. Matteo Moretto has revealed a new behind-the-scenes story, shedding light on contacts between Inter and Nottingham Forest in recent weeks.

Reportedly, during an inquiry by the English club about Frattesi’s situation, the Nerazzurri management asked for information on Dan Ndoye, a winger they have long admired. However, Nottingham put up a wall, declaring the player not for sale and immediately blocking any possibility of a swap deal. There remains a slight opening for the future, but for now, the negotiation is considered on ice.

🛑 Lucca-Benfica: what’s holding up the sale

Benfica continues to pursue Lorenzo Lucca from Napoli, but the deal remains complicated for financial reasons. The Portuguese club is closely monitoring the situation’s developments, but has yet to find a definitive agreement.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the main sticking points are the option to buy and the wages of the former Udinese player. Other clubs from the Premier League and Spain are also interested, but for now, the decisive factor remains financial.

⚔️ Roma, battle with Napoli for the full-back

After securing Robinio Vaz and Malen to strengthen the attack, the management is now aiming to give Gasperini’s Roma a reinforcement on the flanks as well.

According to Sky Sport, the Giallorossi are ready to challenge Napoli for Moris Valincic, the right-back from Dinamo Zagreb. Inter, meanwhile, had shown interest in the player around mid-December, following Dumfries’ injury, but did not finalize the deal.

🧤 Lazio, eyes on Mandas’ successor

After a period where he found more consistency, Mandas has slipped down the pecking order with Provedel’s return between the posts. The Greek goalkeeper, born in 2001, is tied to Lazio with a contract until June 2029, which strengthens the club’s position in the market: there’s no rush to sell and no openness to discounts.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, the Biancocelesti’s strategy is clear: before considering a possible sale of Mandas, they need to find a reliable second goalkeeper. Among the profiles being closely monitored, Mads Hermansen, a Danish goalkeeper born in 1999 currently at West Ham, stands out.

🧱 Fiorentina, considering the former Udinese man for defense

It’s not just about the attack in the Viola management’s plans: Fiorentina also needs to strengthen the defensive department. As highlighted by La Nazione, the club is looking for a quality profile capable of raising the level of the defensive line.

Among the latest ideas is bringing Jaka Bijol back to Italy, the former Udinese player who is currently a teammate of Harrison at Leeds (Fiorentina’s new attacking signing), as a possible reinforcement for the Viola’s backline.
