The Champions League is just around the corner, with Inter and Napoli kicking off the round for the Italian teams today. Tomorrow, it will be the turn of Juventus and Atalanta.
But—as always at this time—today is also a day for negotiations.
Below, as usual, are the most important news items from the transfer market of Serie A’s top clubs.
The deal between Juventus and Crystal Palace for Mateta’s move to Turin is far from closed and, in fact, risks falling through. This is according to Alfredo Pedullà, who highlights that the gap between the two clubs is clear. The English side, in fact, have never budged from their initial demand of 35 million plus 5 million in bonuses, totaling 40 million. Juve, represented by CEO Comolli, could make a final decision by tonight.

Meanwhile, there’s the threat posed by Aston Villa: the English club is looking for a striker and their first target—Abraham—has not yet been released by Besiktas. For this reason, Mateta could really become the second choice for the Villans to pursue.
It seemed like it could be a quick deal, but the Kostic transfer could turn out to be more complicated than expected. According to Matteo Moretto, the gap between Partizan Belgrade and Milan is significant.

The Serbians are asking for 12 million plus a percentage on a future resale, while the Rossoneri do not want to move from the 4.5 million already offered. Furthermore, Partizan has a 20 million release clause, which does not work in Milan’s favor.
Inter continues to work behind the scenes for the big return of Ivan Perisic to San Siro. The Croatian, currently at PSV, has already had two stints in Milan, tallying 55 goals and 50 assists in 254 matches.

The latest updates on the negotiations come from Fabrizio Romano, who emphasizes that the player’s intentions are clear: Perisic wants to wear the Nerazzurri shirt again and intends to do so in this transfer window. The problem, however, is PSV, who do not want to let the nearly 37-year-old go for free.

The Brazilian’s name had already come up around Vesuvius as part of a potential swap with Al-Hilal that would also have involved Lorenzo Lucca. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, however, the Azzurri are now considering accelerating for the 2003-born striker even without including the former Pisa player in the deal.
Clear signals are coming from England: Tammy Abraham has already given his approval for a move to Aston Villa. As reported by Ben Jacobs, the English striker has reached an agreement with the Birmingham club, while Roma is ready to authorize the transfer.

The only real obstacle remains the management of the loan with Besiktas, considered the most delicate part of the operation. However, the parties are already working to unlock the situation and find a shared solution.
After the sales of Matteo Guendouzi and Taty Castellanos, Lazio may have to say goodbye to another key player.

According to Il Messaggero, Al-Sadd managed by Roberto Mancini has renewed its pursuit of Alessio Romagnoli, presenting an offer between 5 and 6 million euros. The proposal was immediately rejected by the Biancocelesti management, deemed too low. Sarri’s stance was also decisive; according to the newspaper, he has let it be known that he is even ready to resign if the center-back leaves the club.
Important update from ViolaNews regarding incoming transfers. According to the portal close to Fiorentina, the Viola are leading the race for the former Hellas center-back, Diego Coppola.

The 2003-born player is not having a lucky season in England, at Brighton, and is considering a return to Italy. Remember, Coppola left Verona for 10 million euros.
