🔥 Juve-Zirkzee, Inter-Napoli ⚔️ Roma-Koulierakis: yesterday’s deals 🤑 | OneFootball

The National Team starts again with Roberto Mancini and Claudio Ranieri. The second spell of the coach from the Marche region as Italy manager officially begins today, while for the former Roma coach and executive it is his first time in the role of Italy’s technical director.

With the press conference, then, the new Mancini-Ranieri era begins, after the chaos of recent days and the arrival—followed by the U-turn—of Maldini and Leonardo, an adventure that lasted just 16 days.

While these are very heated days in the Italy camp, the transfer market continues to deliver twists, with developments on several fronts involving the big Serie A clubs (and not only them). Here are the most relevant stories of the day.

Juve, David-Zirkzee link-up: what’s happening

Juventus continue to assess Jonathan David’s future. According to Matteo Moretto, the Canadian striker is not considered untouchable: if a suitable offer comes in, the Bianconeri could consider letting him go. At the moment, however, there are no advanced talks and the situation remains open.

As for incomings, Joshua Zirkzee remains a name to watch. The Dutchman, currently focused on Manchester United, has not yet shown any desire to leave England, but Juventus have liked him for some time. Frederic Massara rates him highly and could make a move again if a real opening emerges with United and, above all, if David leaves.

Milan, huge Fenerbahce offer for Leao: he wants the Premier League or La Liga

Fenerbahce are serious about Rafael Leao. According to the Corriere dello Sport, representatives of the Turkish club were in Milan to speak with Milan, but the sides remain far apart: the Rossoneri want at least €50 million plus bonuses and are seeking a permanent sale, while the Turks are thinking in terms of €35-40 million with a loan and a conditional obligation to buy.

The path is not easy with the player either. Fenerbahce are said to have offered Leao a salary of €10 million plus €2 million in bonuses, but the Portuguese forward does not seem convinced by the Turkish destination. His preferences remain the Premier League and La Liga, although no concrete moves have yet arrived from those leagues.

Inter, battle with Napoli for Valincic

Inter and Napoli could face off in the market for Moris Valincic. According to Calciomercato.com, the Dinamo Zagreb Croatian right-back is back on the radar of both clubs, who were already interested in the player during the last winter window.

Valincic is under contract until 2029 and is considered an interesting profile for anyone looking for a full-back or a player capable of covering the entire right flank. For Inter and Napoli, he could become a lead to follow closely, especially depending on how their other targets for the role develop.

Napoli, Zeballos on hold: agreement with the player, what’s missing

Napoli have already laid the groundwork for an agreement with Exequiel Zeballos, but the deal remains at a standstill. According to Diario Olé, the agreement between the Azzurri and the Boca Juniors forward would be locked in until 2031, but the transfer is currently on standby.

What is holding everything up is the squad list issue: before completing the arrival of the Argentine talent, Napoli would need to free up space by selling at least three or four players. It is a situation that cannot drag on for too long, also because Zeballos’ contract with Boca expires on December 31 and the Argentine club is waiting for concrete developments.

Roma, agreement with Koulierakis

A new name for Roma’s defense. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Giallorossi are in talks for Konstantinos Koulierakis, a left-footed center-back born in 2003 and owned by Wolfsburg.

Contacts are ongoing both with the defender’s camp and with the German club, with whom the player is under contract until 2029. Roma are said to have already found a basic agreement on the player’s side and will now try to understand the room for maneuver with Wolfsburg. He is a profile they like a lot because of his age, left foot, and potential.

Lazio, Broja and Füllkrug offered: Gattuso...

Lazio are looking for a striker, but the latest names put forward are not fully convincing Formello. The dream remains Santiago Gimenez, a profile highly appreciated by Gennaro Gattuso, but the deal is complicated because of the costs and competition.

In the last few hours, Burnley’s Armando Broja and West Ham’s Niclas Füllkrug have been offered, but both names are heading toward rejection. There are still some evaluations ongoing on the former, but the numbers are not convincing: just 8 starts last season and a career that has never really settled into consistent goalscoring form after his time at Vitesse. Gattuso is asking for a striker with stronger scoring guarantees.

Fiorentina, Valdepeñas ‘Nico Paz-style’: medical set

Victor Valdepeñas is ready to become a new Fiorentina player. As first reported by Radio Bruno and confirmed by Sky Sport, the Spanish defender is expected in Florence on the evening of July 29 and will undergo his medical tomorrow.

The deal with Real Madrid will be completed on a permanent basis for €8 million. The Spaniards will keep 50% of any future resale and a buy-back clause valid for three seasons, in a formula similar to the one used by Como for Nico Paz. What had slowed the deal down was José Mourinho’s desire to keep the player during the first days of training camp, but now Fiorentina are ready to close it.
