Kessié eyes Juve 🎯, Jones wants Inter, Dybala's future 🤑 | OneFootball

The World Cup has now entered its decisive stage, the knockout phase, where truly anything can happen. Germany knows that all too well, having sensationally gone out as early as the round of 32 against Paraguay.

So, it is an intense period, but one in which the transfer market still finds room as well. Let’s take a look together at today’s most relevant news.

Juve, Kessié ready to take a pay cut

After his spell with Al-Ahli, Franck Kessié is ready to return to European football. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Ivorian midfielder would also be willing to lower his salary in order to get back into a competitive league. Among his preferred destinations is Serie A, with Juventus closely monitoring how the situation develops.

At the moment, however, the Bianconeri have not yet decided to speed things up. Again according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the management considers Kessié an ideal profile in terms of experience and characteristics, but before any developments they will need to sort out some departures and rebalance the wage bill. Only after these evaluations can concrete negotiations begin.

Milan, Chukwueze wants to convince Amorim

Samuel Chukwueze has reportedly turned down an offer from Trabzonspor, choosing not to move to Turkey. As reported by the Daily Post Nigeria, the Nigerian winger would prefer to wait for a more ambitious opportunity or try to carve out a place for himself at Milan during summer training camp. Back after his loan spell at Fulham, the 1999-born player is determined to fight for his chances under Ruben Amorim.

Despite the English club not making his move permanent, Chukwueze ended his Premier League experience with 3 goals and 4 assists in 23 appearances, numbers that keep the interest of several clubs alive. Milan, however, is being called to reduce the size of the squad in order to rebalance the accounts, and the Nigerian remains among the possible departures. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, however, a stay cannot be ruled out: much will depend on Amorim’s evaluations during pre-season.

Inter, Jones turns down Nottingham!

Encouraging signs are arriving for Inter in the race for Curtis Jones. The Liverpool midfielder, who has long been on the Nerazzurri’s radar to strengthen the middle of the park, has reportedly rejected a move to Nottingham Forest, despite the English club being ready to submit an offer worth between €35 million and €40 million. The report comes from SportMediaset.

The 2001-born player’s decision is said to be linked to his desire to join Inter, considered his preferred destination for the next stage of his career. An opening that could help the Nerazzurri in the coming weeks, although an agreement with Liverpool still has to be found to define any potential transfer.

Napoli, Olivera is not on the market

Napoli has no intention of giving discounts on Mathías Olivera. As reported by CalcioNapoli24, president Aurelio De Laurentiis has reportedly set a precise valuation for the Uruguayan full-back and would not be willing to consider offers below the club’s expectations, despite interest from some foreign sides.

The club’s position is clear: Olivera is considered an important part of the squad and will only leave the Azzurri in the face of an offer deemed suitable. Again according to CalcioNapoli24, Napoli does not intend to open cut-price negotiations and will wait for any bids in line with the valuation set by the management.

Roma, growing confidence over Dybala

The future of Paulo Dybala still seems set to remain in Giallorossi colors. From today the Argentine is formally a free agent and could agree terms with any club, but, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, in the last few hours Roma has grown increasingly confident about the possibility of reaching an agreement over a contract renewal.

Talks between the club and the Joya’s entourage are progressing positively, and the goal is to finalize the last details of the agreement before the official announcement. Again according to Fabrizio Romano, both parties want to continue together, with the green light potentially arriving soon.

Lazio, Piccoli an idea for the attack!

With Gennaro Gattuso in charge of Lazio, the Biancocelesti club is working to identify reinforcements suited to the new coach’s tactical needs. Among the profiles being evaluated in recent hours is also Roberto Piccoli, coming off his first season with Fiorentina.

As reported by La Repubblica, the Viola club would not consider the striker untouchable and would be willing to let him leave on loan. A solution that could suit Lazio, who are interested in strengthening the attacking department without making an immediate investment and are ready to consider opening negotiations in the coming weeks.

Fiorentina, is Oso the chosen one? But there is competition

Fiorentina continues to move in the market in search of a new left-back, and the name at the top of the list remains Oso, a 2003-born player owned by Sevilla. The Spaniard’s profile convinces the Viola management, who would like to get ahead of the competition and bring in reinforcement on the left flank.

The deal, however, looks far from simple. As revealed by Matteo Moretto on his YouTube channel, in addition to Strasbourg, Nottingham Forest has also entered the race and is ready to challenge the Tuscan club. Despite the strong competition, Fiorentina will continue working to try to bring Oso to Serie A.
