All eyes are on the other side of the Atlantic, but the transfer market is heating up too, with clubs hunting for reinforcements and negotiations gathering pace: let’s take a look at the biggest news involving Serie A’s top sides.

Juventus, Kessié back on the radar

Franck Kessié’s name is once again being linked with Juventus. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Ivorian midfielder rejected a contract renewal offer worth a total of €24 million over two seasons from Al Ahli.

The former Milan man is said to be keen on returning to Europe, with Italy a particularly appealing destination. His entourage has reportedly offered the player to the Bianconeri again, but Juventus would prefer to wait until their new management structure is finalized before making any definitive transfer decisions.

Milan, everything hinges on the new management: Rangnick, Glasner, or Pochettino?

Milan’s future continues to depend on the club’s decisions. Speaking to MilanVibes, Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Luca Bianchin stressed that the club’s priority is defining its management structure.

According to Bianchin, the choice of the new technical director and the new head coach are closely linked. The standout candidate remains Ralf Rangnick, who would bring with him a clear organizational and technical philosophy.

At the same time, Oliver Glasner and Mauricio Pochettino remain in the running, with both awaiting a definitive response from the Rossoneri. In the background, the issue of governance and the role of chief executive also remains unresolved.

Inter, Hornicek remains a target: Braga unwilling to negotiate

Inter continue to closely monitor Lukas Hornicek, Braga’s young goalkeeper.

According to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, the Nerazzurri have already made an initial approach for the 2002-born stopper, but without any meaningful opening. The Portuguese club see the goalkeeper as a key part of their technical project and continue to point to his €30 million release clause.

Porto, Benfica, and Leeds United are also interested in the player. In addition, after the World Cup, a renewal offer could arrive that would further strengthen Braga’s position.

Napoli, Allegri locks down Lobotka: Manna working on a renewal

Napoli’s new era starts from one certainty: Stanislav Lobotka. According to Il Roma, Massimiliano Allegri has vetoed any potential sale of the Slovak deep-lying playmaker, considering him indispensable to his tactical project.

Lobotka’s contract runs until 2027 and includes a €25 million release clause valid only for foreign clubs until mid-July. For this reason, sporting director Giovanni Manna is reportedly working on a solution that would extend the relationship between the club and the midfielder even further, definitively ruling out any transfer scenarios.

Roma, Gasperini wants Pulisic

Christian Pulisic’s future could become one of the most interesting topics of the upcoming summer transfer window. The American winger, currently involved with the United States national team at the World Cup, has in fact ended up on Roma’s radar.

According to journalist Daniele Longo, the Giallorossi have identified Milan’s number 11 as one of the ideal profiles to strengthen their attack ahead of next season. The appreciation reportedly comes directly from Gian Piero Gasperini, who sees the former Chelsea man as a perfect player in terms of technical qualities, versatility, and ability to make an impact between the lines.

At the moment, however, there are no concrete negotiations between the two clubs. It is simply an interest and a technical appreciation that could potentially turn into something more in the coming weeks. Much will depend both on Roma’s transfer strategies and on Milan’s decisions, as the club is still busy defining its new management structure and choosing a coach for next season.

The situation therefore remains at an early stage, but Pulisic’s name has been added to the profiles being monitored by the Giallorossi hierarchy to strengthen the attack and raise the squad’s technical level ahead of the new era.

Lazio, the names to replace Romagnoli

Alessio Romagnoli’s time at Lazio now seems close to coming to an end.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Al Sadd have now finalized an agreement with the defender based on a three-year contract worth €6 million per season plus bonuses. Only the final details remain to be sorted with the Biancocelesti, who have reportedly asked for the immediate payment of the €3 million fee set for the transfer.

While waiting for it to become official, Lazio are already assessing possible replacements. Among the names being monitored are Lautaro Rivero of River Plate, Fabio Chiarodia of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Dominguez of Dinamo Zagreb, and Arnau Martinez of Girona.

Fiorentina, Kanté emerges as a midfield option

Fiorentina continue their search for midfield reinforcements for the new project led by Fabio Grosso. According to Footmercato, one of the profiles being watched most closely is Mohamadou Kante, a French defensive midfielder born in 2005 and owned by West Ham United.

There is, however, strong competition for the player, with Marseille and Monaco already showing interest. A contract running until 2031 puts the English club in a strong position, and they value the midfielder at around €20 million. Fiorentina are carrying out their assessments and could decide to step things up in the coming weeks.
