Kessie on Juventus and Rabiot's future, Soulé to Saudi? 🤑 | OneFootball

The Italian market has been shaken by the arrival of Gonçalo Ramos (who enters the TOP 10 most expensive Serie A signings), while at the Club World Cup Bielsa’s angry reaction to his Uruguay’s elimination caused a stir, along with the announcement that Messi will start on the bench.

Now let’s look at today’s most important news involving Italy’s biggest clubs.

Juventus, Kessie “promotes himself”

Franck Kessie, interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, spoke about Juventus and the transfer rumours surrounding him: “Juventus? Yes, yes, people are talking about it, I’ve seen it. I’m only thinking about the Club World Cup, but I’ll add one thing: I’m a really great signing. Fit, at the Club World Cup, and above all a free agent — it’s hard to ask for more! That’s why so many clubs want me, and they’re right to!

“But for another five days I’m still an Al Ahli Jeddah player. After the round-of-16 match, we’ll meet and I’ll tell you something. My agent is working, there are lots of calls, and I repeat, it’s normal: I’d sign myself too in these physical and financial conditions!”

In the meantime, Juve will have to book capital gains as soon as possible: according to the Corriere dello Sport, Miretti (15 million), Di Gregorio (15 million), Cabal (carried on the books for 7 million) and Gatti (20/25 million) are up for sale.

Milan, Hjulmand further away? Rabiot speaks

Adrien Rabiot did not rule out a summer transfer, saying in the mixed zone after Norway-France: “My future and Amorim’s arrival? I’m focused on the Club World Cup, then we’ll see at the end.” This was reported by Fabrizio Romano.

On the incoming side, Atletico Madrid were interested in Gonçalo Ramos (according to Fabrizio Romano), but Milan’s offer beat the colchoneros, who are now targeting another player also on Milan’s radar: Morten Hjulmand.

The player developed by Ruben Amorim at Sporting is valued at 45 million euros: according to Marca and Matteo Moretto Atletico Madrid are ready to submit an offer in the coming weeks.

Inter, renewal for Pio and F. Carboni on the way out

As reported by Matteo Moretto on YouTube, Inter have opened talks over Pio Esposito’s renewal: “He has a contract with Inter until 2030 and earns 1.1/1.2 million net per season, but I can confirm that Inter have started talks with the player’s agent, Mario Giuffredi, to try to improve and extend Pio Esposito’s contract. There is really great harmony between the parties.”

On the outgoing side, Franco Carboni is very close to Parma: “I’m told there could be a four-year contract for Carboni at Parma; we’ll see when the deal can be closed, but there is a desire to get it over the line.”

Napoli, McTominay-Real? Difficult, and a huge asking price

According to Il Mattino, The Scottish Sun (citing Italian sources) and the Corriere del Mezzogiorno: Mourinho and Real Madrid appreciate Scott McTominay’s profile. However, the player is happy in the city and is discussing a contract renewal with Napoli: the club values him at 80 million euros.

The report is also confirmed by RAI journalist Ciro Venerato: “McTominay is appreciated by Real Madrid, but he will stay at Napoli. He should renew with the Azzurri; the club from Campania have made him an interesting proposal.”

Roma, Soulé says “No” to Saudi Arabia

As written by the Corriere dello Sport, Al-Ahli had made an approach for Greenwood, who turned down the proposal. The Saudi club then moved on to Matias Soulé, who is on his way out of Roma.

However, the Argentine does not want to go to the Saudi Pro League, according to Repubblica; his goal is to stay in Europe’s top leagues and earn a call-up to the national team.

Lazio, Peruzzi returns as Technical Director

According to Il Messaggero, Angelo Peruzzi is very close to becoming Lazio’s new Technical Director. It would be a return, given that he served as club manager from 2016 to 2021.

The former Biancocelesti goalkeeper has already had a meeting with Lotito and is expected to sign a one-year contract. His excellent relationship with Gennaro Gattuso played an important role in the negotiations.

Fiorentina, Beltran close to departure

As reported by journalist Sebastian Srur, Lucas Beltran is close to River Plate: a deal worth 7.5 million plus 50% of any future resale.

After some initial hesitation, Matteo Moretto reveals that the player has also opened up to the move. In fact, according to journalist Hernan Castillo “Beltran will wrap everything up shortly.”
