The big clubs in our league are also taking center stage, busy behind the scenes after matchday one. Let’s take a look at today’s most important news.
Franck Kessié continues to keep the Juventus track alive. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Ivorian midfielder has been waiting for the Bianconeri since June, despite having a major offer from Al-Ittihad on the table.
There were reportedly fresh contacts with the player’s entourage on Monday, and talks also returned to the subject of a contract. However, both sides will need to make an effort to get the deal done: Kessié will have to lower his demands, while Juve will have to speed things up before the Saudi offer becomes definitive.
Milan are still looking for a left-footed attacking midfielder to complete their forward department and, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, the latest idea leads to Alvyn Sanches, a 2003-born Young Boys player. The Swiss youngster is considered one of the best emerging talents in his country, and Milan’s scouting department is monitoring him closely.
Sanches is appreciated for his versatility and technical quality: he can play as an attacking midfielder, but also as an attack-minded central midfielder. He has made a bright start to the season, with 2 goals and 2 assists in 4 matches, while over the last two years he has produced 25 goals and 10 assists. For now it is only an inquiry, but the profile is on Milan’s list, and it remains to be seen whether the Rossoneri will decide to push ahead.
As reported by La Nazione, Fiorentina are thinking about the possible replacement for Moise Kean, and Bonny is also on Paratici’s shortlist, along with Icardi, Emegha, Delap and Zirkzee.
Inter’s business for attacking reinforcements does not seem to be over, as Marotta himself admitted. Today, La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests some potential opportunities: Chiesa (on the way out at Liverpool), Sancho, Sterling and Mahrez (all three free agents).
A surprise name for Napoli: Adam Licina, a 2007-born Juventus talent. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Giovanni Manna knows the player very well from his time at Juve and considers him a highly promising profile for the future of the attack.
Juve, however, do not seem willing to let him go. Licina had an agreement in place for weeks to join Avellino on loan in Serie B, but Yildiz’s injury could change everything and open up space for him as soon as the next few matches. For this reason, Napoli are watching, but the road remains complicated.
Roma are at a crossroads over Malick Fofana. According to Fabrizio Romano, the contractual agreement with the Belgian winger’s agents has been outlined and the player has already opened the door to the Giallorossi. Now, it would be up to Roma to decide whether or not to push ahead with the move.
Lyon are asking for around €35 million and Fonseca, in his press conference, seemed to distance himself, at least for the moment, from the idea of a sale: "I think he’ll be a player who continues with us. He’s very motivated to continue with us."
"We are not worried about selling Malick. If we wanted to sell him now, we have offers. If other clubs want Malick, they will have to pay. The club rejected offers because it believes in this player."
Lazio are looking to the future and trying to pull off a move for Lorenz Hutchinson. According to Ben Jacobs, the Biancoceleste club has submitted a new offer to Leicester for the 2008-born forward, considered one of the most interesting talents in the Foxes’ academy.
His contract expiring next summer could help the move, because Leicester risk losing him for free in a few months. Talks are ongoing and Lazio are trying to get ahead of the competition for a young profile who is already involved with England’s Under-19s and seen as a prospect for the future.
Since Ernst Poku is destined for Besiktas, Fiorentina will turn to other targets for the wing. FirenzeViola reports that the club have always kept contacts alive for Johan Bakayoko: the Leipzig winger, with Nkunku set to be announced shortly.
The market is also active on the outgoing side: according to Fabrizio RomanoGudmundsson could be sold in the final days of the transfer window. It is precisely in his area of the pitch that a profile like Bakayoko would operate, in the role of an out-and-out winger.
