Serie A has started in the best possible way, delivering goals, entertainment, and excitement like we haven’t seen at the start of the season in years. And we’re only just getting started: now all that remains is to wait for the summer transfer window to close, which will once and for all define the faces, ambitions, and balance of the 20 teams.

Let’s take a look at today’s biggest transfer news.
Juventus are moving concretely again for Joshua Zirkzee. According to Fabrizio Romano, Massara has made a new call to sound out the situation of the Dutch striker, who is expected to leave Manchester United in the closing stages of the transfer window. The former Bologna man would welcome a return to Serie A, despite interest also arriving from the Premier League.
The main obstacle remains the structure of the deal: United want a solution involving either an obligation to buy or a permanent transfer, terms Juventus have not yet agreed to. Massara, a big admirer of Zirkzee since his Roma days, is still working to understand whether there is room to bring him to Turin.
Rafael Leao has returned to training with the Milan squad, but his future is still far from settled. The Portuguese forward remains on the market, with Galatasaray and Aston Villa both in the race to sign him, and the situation could develop in the final days of the window.
As reported by Antonio Vitiello, Galatasaray would be verbally willing to go as high as €42 million including bonuses, while Milan continue to ask for at least €50 million plus bonuses. Daniele Longo confirms the gap and adds that Aston Villa are closer to Milan’s demands, but are offering Leao €6.5 million plus bonuses, compared to the €12 million proposed by the Turkish club.
Inter have shut the door on Fiorentina for Ange-Yoan Bonny. The Viola made a move to assess the feasibility of the deal, but received a firm response from the Nerazzurri, who have no intention of parting ways with the 2003-born striker.
As reported by the Corriere della Sera, those at Viale della Liberazione consider Bonny “untouchable.” Signed from Parma a year ago for €23 million, the Ivorian has so far made 49 appearances, scoring 7 goals and providing 9 assists for Inter, and is under contract with the club until June 2030.
The track that could take Vanja Milinkovic-Savic to Atletico Madrid and Juan Musso to Napoli is cooling down. The Serbian goalkeeper currently appears to be behind Alex Meret in Napoli’s pecking order, but the idea of a swap deal involving the Argentine from Los Colchoneros does not seem close to being finalized.
According to information gathered by CalcioNapoli24, the deal is still a long way from materializing. As the hours pass, moreover, the chances of the Milinkovic-Savic-Musso swap going through seem to be decreasing even further.
Roma continue to work on Malick Fofana, but negotiations with Lyon are going through a standstill phase. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the French club are asking for a package worth €40 million, while the Giallorossi have not yet decided whether to push ahead decisively. Despite a broad agreement with the player’s agents, no progress has been made in recent hours.
There is movement in defense too: according to Sky Sport and Sky UK, if Ziolkowski leaves for Monza, Roma have identified Nottingham Forest’s Morato as a possible replacement, considering a loan deal. The Polish player has already opened the door to a move to Monza, structured as a loan with an option to buy, but the green light will come only after a replacement has been found.
Padova have landed Gabriele Artistico and definitively beaten off competition from Avellino. The Lazio striker is now set to return to Serie B, where he will strengthen the attacking department of Antonio Calabro’s team.
As reported by Alfredo Pedullà, after Avellino’s renewed bid, Padova came back strongly for the player and managed to close the deal. To secure Artistico, the Biancoscudato club will pay Lazio a fee between €3 million and €4 million.
Fiorentina have set their sights on Ali Zoma, a 2003-born Italian talent currently at Nuremberg. The forward is a particularly versatile profile, able to play as a winger, second striker, or center-forward.
According to Passione Fiorentina, contacts are already underway to understand the room for a deal. Nuremberg, however, value Zoma’s registration rights at around €15 million, the amount required to let the player leave.
