Juve, PSG lowers the price for Muani

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus is getting closer to bringing back striker Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain.

The French club's asking price has dropped to 50 million, and the offer has been raised incrementally: now the gap doesn't seem insurmountable. A compromise on the mandatory purchase clause is also near. The formula will be a loan with a conditional obligation, but the conditions to achieve it should be very simple. Igor Tudor is waiting for him, the Frenchman is eager.

Milan, Kalimuendo deal is difficult

Gianluca Di Marzio mentioned last night that Milan is interested in Rennes striker Arnaud Kalimuendo, but the operation seems far from simple.

In fact, there are clubs that have been in talks for the 23-year-old Frenchman for some time and have a certain advantage. Matteo Moretto explains that Nottingham Forest and Brentford, as well as Villarreal, are ahead in discussions for the striker.

Inter, Lookman not called up by Atalanta

While Atalanta officially rejected the offer of 42 million + 3 in bonuses for Lookman (here are the details), the player was not called up for the friendly against Leipzig.

The player is recovering from an injury and, according to Corriere della Sera, could be called up for the next match against Cologne in a week.

Napoli, Fabbian is the alternative to Miretti

According to Repubblica, Napoli is looking to complete the midfield by adding a new player to coach Antonio Conte's squad. They are seeking a player with strong insertion characteristics and a great desire to prove themselves.

While negotiating Fabio Miretti with Juventus, they are considering alternatives: the most favored at the moment is Giovanni Fabbian from Bologna. Sporting director Giovanni Manna is working on a formula to lower the price. The idea is to include Alessandro Zanoli as a technical counterpart.

Roma, Enciso idea as a playmaker

According to Corriere della Sera, Claudio Echeverri from Manchester City is the priority target for the attacking midfield, although City would prefer to send him to Girona, the player would prefer to go to Italy.

Another young talent also intrigues the Roma management. It is Julio Enciso (according to FormaRoma.info), a 2004-born player from Brighton with a contract expiring in 2026. Due to this situation, the capital club could hope for a discount compared to the 25 million asked by the Seagulls in January from Atalanta.

Lazio, Taty's sale blocked

Corriere della Sera explains that, due to a series of factors, the sale of Valentin Castellanos to MLS has been frozen for the moment.

Obviously, the blocked market has an impact. Additionally, Boulayé Dia will be absent in winter for the Africa Cup of Nations, and the departure of the Argentine is considered too great a risk.

Fiorentina, difficulties with Beltran-Flamengo and Nzola news

Fiorentina had assumed the sale of second striker Lucas Beltran to Flamengo was certain. There was already an agreement between the clubs, but Corriere Fiorentino explains that the Argentine is not sure.

The player, in fact, does not intend to leave Europe. Staying with Viola is an option for him, but he would also accept a transfer if European clubs come forward.

The issue regarding Nzola seems to be resolving: according to Alfredo Pedullà, Fiorentina has given up on obtaining the mandatory purchase clause from Pisa. The deal could be closed by Tuesday.
