Milan bid for Martín, Lazio eye 17-year-old, Chevalier-Juve 👎 🤑 | OneFootball

While Roma are moving significantly closer to Santiago Castro, the appointment of Pirlo as national team head coach remains up in the air.

The transfer market for the top clubs, however, continues non-stop, also influenced by the outcome of pre-season friendlies.

Juventus, denial over Chevalier

Despite links between Chevalier and Juventus - reported by RMC Sport - there does not currently appear to be any concrete negotiations underway with the French goalkeeper.

According to Fabrizio Romano: "At the moment, there are no talks for Chevalier. For Juve’s goalkeeping position, I’d keep the names Suzuki and Vicario in mind." Dibu Martinez should not be forgotten either, according to Matteo Moretto: "Next week will be make or break."

Milan, offer for Martín rejected

Milan are interested in Barcelona’s Gerard Martín and, according to El Nacional, they have already submitted a €20 million offer, rejected by the Blaugrana, who are asking for 35.

Furthermore, according to Gianluigi Longari of Sportitalia, Barça are unwilling to part with their 2004-born central defender.

Inter, is RDZ bringing Romero’s departure closer?

After Ausilio confirmed the talks for Romero (and denied the Perisic link), Sky Sport provided an update on the negotiations for the centre-back.

Tottenham are starting with a €50 million asking price, and there will also be work to do on his salary, which currently stands at €6.5 million net. Romero, however, appears increasingly outside De Zerbi’s plans, with the coach being categorical earlier today: "Anyone who is not happy and proud to be here can leave."

Napoli, Lucumí is the preferred option. Allegri...

Buongiorno’s injury is forcing Napoli to consider signing a new centre-back: according to Il Mattino, Lucumí is one of the club’s most appreciated names.

The defender is nearing the end of his contract, and Bologna’s CEO confirmed that "he can leave because we promised him he could." His valuation is between €25 and €30 million.

After the friendly win over Carrarese, Allegri also spoke about the market: "If another defender is needed? The club handles the market, I have to coach. There are 35 days left, the club is alert. [...] we will calmly and clearly assess what needs to be done between now and the end of the transfer window." Here are his full comments.

Roma, impossible to sign Rashford

While Dovbyk is speaking with Domenico Tedesco over a possible move to Bologna, Matteo Moretto revealed that there have been contacts between intermediaries to assess the feasibility of a possible Rashford move to Roma. For the moment, however, the deal is virtually impossible.

Wage costs are extremely high and, for now, the player has not opened up to a move to Serie A; moreover, Rashford will be assessed by Carrick during training camp.

Lazio, push for Markmann

According to Il Messaggero, Lazio are stepping up their pursuit of a new defender: 19-year-old Noah Markmann of Nordsjaelland, who is involved with Denmark’s U21 national team.

The deal could be completed for €5 million plus €1 million in bonuses, as Gattuso has already given his approval to the move after watching videos of Markmann.

Fiorentina, Moreno on his way out and Dodo’s price

Matias Moreno is getting closer and closer to a departure: according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Venezia are in talks for the Fiorentina defender, who spent last season on loan at Levante.

Also on the outgoing front, according to the Corriere dello Sport, the Viola have set Dodo’s price at €15 million despite his contract nearing expiry. A renewal later in the window is also not ruled out, so as to better manage his stay over the course of the season.
