Looking for Vicario's deputy, Napoli sale and Roma issues 🤑 | OneFootball

While FIFA has banned Paredes for 10 matches (and not only him), and Serie A edges closer to the start of the new season, the transfer market is entering its most frantic hours.

Let’s look at today’s biggest transfer stories involving Italy’s top clubs.

Juventus, Musso liked and enquiry made for S. Beltran

With Di Gregorio close to Bournemouth and Perin seemingly bound for Palermo, Juve are looking for a backup goalkeeper, and one of the names they like is Juan Musso. Tuttosport reports this.

However, there is strong competition from Napoli for the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, and according to Fabrizio Romano, the player has already given them his preference. Napoli are also said to be trying to put together a swap deal involving Milinkovic-Savic and Musso.

In addition, as reported by Sky Sport, Juve have made an enquiry for Santiago Beltran, River Plate’s goalkeeper, although the club have asked for a fee Juve consider too high.

Milan, no squad numbers for Fofana, Nkunku, Gimenez and Tomori

The list of excluded players had already been unofficially known, but now the break is crystal clear: Milan have officially announced the squad numbers for the new season (here is the full list).

The names of Tomori, Fofana, Gimenez and Nkunku do not appear on the list and therefore remain without a squad number even though the league starts this weekend. Their departures now seem certain.

Inter, will Pavard and Bovio stay?

Benjamin Pavard’s stay at Inter is looking increasingly likely. From a technical point of view, the player is satisfying Chivu, as he said in a press conference: "He’s doing a great job, he has made himself available to the group. He has played matches at a certain level."

Meanwhile, Bovio’s contract renewal has been confirmed and, according to Fabrizio Romano, he should stay with the Nerazzurri, although the matter will be reassessed in the final hours of the transfer window depending on the opportunities available.

Napoli, Obaretin sale completed

As reported by Alfredo Pedullà and Fabrizio Romano, Napoli have completed Obaretin’s sale to Lorient, beating competition from Sturm Graz after he had been linked with Genoa in July.

The player will join on loan with an option to buy for €3.5 million, plus a percentage on any future resale.

Roma, issues over the latest signing

According to Il Tempo, Fofana came very close to joining Roma, but the €35 million plus bonuses deal was reportedly blocked by the owners, given the immediate outlay for Rodrigo Mora and the club’s financial situation.

According to Il Messaggero, there are similar issues with Luis Henrique: the player is liked, but there is still no agreement on the structure of the deal.

Lazio, Mandas heading towards staying

As written by Corriere dello Sport, Lazio want to rely on Mandas as their first-choice goalkeeper after Provedel’s departure.

This therefore dismisses the rumors claiming the Biancocelesti were in talks with Juventus over Mandas, a profile appreciated by the Bianconeri as a backup goalkeeper behind Vicario.

Fiorentina, search on for a worthy replacement for Kean

As written by FirenzeViola, Fiorentina are looking for a replacement in case Moise Kean is sold to Como. However, his departure would only happen if a suitable replacement is found.

Paratici, in fact, does not want to sign a striker of a lower level than Kean. On the contrary, he wants to raise the level even further, just as has been done in other areas of the squad during this transfer window.
