The countdown has officially begun. There is less and less time left until the opening match of the World Cup, which will see 48 national teams face off across Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
Italy will not be there for the third straight time after failing to qualify, but there is no shortage of Serie A players in the global competition, ready to make their mark.
Meanwhile, the transfer market is heating up more and more: let’s take a look at the most important news of the day.
Juventus continue working to give Luciano Spalletti a goalkeeper with top-level international experience, and the hottest name remains Emiliano Martinez.
According to Sky Sport, the Argentine world champion is the Bianconeri management’s first choice for leadership, personality, and international pedigree. However, the Aston Villa goalkeeper earns a very high salary, around €7 million net per season until 2028.

His agent is expected to arrive in Italy in the coming days and should also meet with Juventus executives to concretely assess the feasibility of the deal. Any willingness from the player would be the first step before opening negotiations with the English club.
One factor working in Juventus’ favor concerns the transfer fee: according to Sky Sport, Martinez could leave for a figure around €5 million, significantly lower than other alternatives such as Guglielmo Vicario, who is valued by Tottenham Hotspur at no less than €15 million.
Milan finally seem to have identified the profile on which to build their new technical project: Oliver Glasner. According to MilanNews, the Austrian coach would be Cardinale and Ibrahimovic’s chosen man after a long meeting that took place in Germany in recent days.

Coming off successful spells with Eintracht Frankfurt and Crystal Palace, Glasner has won an FA Cup, a Community Shield, and a Conference League in recent years, convincing the Rossoneri ownership of his qualities.
The coming days will be decisive in reaching a final agreement. His possible arrival would not necessarily be linked to that of Ralf Rangnick, who remains the preferred candidate for the technical director role but continues to ask for full operational autonomy.
Inter continue to monitor Curtis Jones with interest, but the road looks anything but simple.
According to The Athletic, the Nerazzurri club have already submitted an initial offer of €20 million for the Liverpool midfielder.

The Reds’ response, however, was very clear: the player is valued at around £35 million, or nearly €40 million, and any negotiation would have to start from a fixed base of at least €30 million plus a percentage on a future resale.
Inter hope to take advantage of the midfielder’s contractual situation, as he is tied to Liverpool until 2027 and is not yet leaning toward a renewal. However, the financial gap between demand and offer remains significant.
Antonio Vergara’s future is still completely up in the air. Speaking to CRC, agent Mario Giuffredi explained that the final decision will rest exclusively with Napoli.

“Vergara is a 23-year-old player, he has the purest class in our Serie A, he’s got great cazzimma. We need to understand the club’s thinking: if for 25-30 million they prefer to sell him, we won’t hold anyone back. But it’s not Vergara’s decision, nor his agent’s: it will be the club’s decision. At most, we could ask to discuss the contract. Como? It’s a club that has always appreciated Vergara, like others.”
Roma are working to keep Lorenzo Venturino for next season as well.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Giallorossi club have opened new contacts with Genoa to extend the stay of the 2006-born player, who arrived in the capital on loan during the final part of the season.

The talks between the two clubs also concern other transfer situations, including the one related to Tommaso Baldanzi’s buyout. Gasperini considers Venturino a very interesting profile for the future and is pushing to have him available again.
Lazio continue to invest in young international talents. According to Il Messaggero, sporting director Angelo Fabiani has identified Jonathan Asp as one of the main targets to strengthen the attacking midfield area.

The Danish attacking midfielder, owned by Bayern Munich, stood out during his loan spell at Grasshopper, attracting the attention of several European clubs.
Lazio have already opened direct contacts with the player, confirming their desire to build an increasingly young squad full of potential.
At Fiorentina, there is reflection over Roberto Piccoli’s future after a season that fell well below expectations. According to Il Messaggero, Lazio are considering the center-forward as a reinforcement for the new technical project entrusted to Gennaro Gattuso, who is looking for a more physical and robust striker.

From this comes the idea of a swap with Matteo Cancellieri, an attacking winger highly appreciated by the Viola management and considered well suited to new coach Fabio Grosso’s ideas.
Fiorentina, however, believe Piccoli’s value is higher than that of the Biancoceleste winger and would therefore ask for a cash adjustment to green-light the deal. At the moment there are no advanced negotiations, but talks between the two clubs could intensify in the coming weeks.
