But while everything is being decided on the pitch, the transfer market is already starting to move behind the scenes: the first departures, contacts, summits, strategies, and names destined to light up the summer. Let’s take a look at the most important news of the day.

Juventus, derby and decisive summit

According to TuttoJuve, Juventus took a day off after the win over Fiorentina and will return to training at Continassa tomorrow to begin preparations for the derby against Torino, a key step in the race for the Champions League.

Bremer will miss the city derby due to suspension, while Gatti is still doubtful to start. At the same time, the club front continues to make headlines: a meeting between John Elkann and Luciano Spalletti is scheduled for this week and is considered important for planning Juventus’ future.

Milan, is Cardinale really changing everything?

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, these are crucial days at Milan: Gerry Cardinale is said to have called a summit to analyze a season considered below expectations and to plan the new structure of the Rossoneri club. 

At the center of the discussions are the roles of the executives and the technical area, with ongoing evaluations also regarding Ibrahimovic’s future influence and the club’s organizational setup. Cardinale wants to speed things up so he can be fully prepared for the summer and immediately begin shaping next season’s Milan, amid possible internal changes and new sporting strategies.

Inter, everything changes in goal

Inter have reportedly already made an important decision for next season: according to Sky Sport, Cristian Chivu has given the green light to the promotion of Pepo Martinez as the Nerazzurri’s new first-choice goalkeeper.

At the same time, the club is working to identify a new backup goalkeeper. The track leading to Guglielmo Vicario now appears to have gone cold, while among the profiles being considered for the deputy role, the name of Ivan Provedel is also gaining traction. Sommer’s future remains to be understood.

Napoli, Manna steps up pursuit of signing

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Napoli are pushing hard to complete one of their first signings for next season: in their sights is Anan Khalaili, the 2005-born Israeli winger from Union Saint-Gilloise..

Sporting director Giovanni Manna is said to have already opened concrete talks both with the player’s entourage and with the Belgian club, which values him at close to €20 million. Khalaili is appreciated for his attacking versatility and for the qualities he has shown in the Champions League as well, but Napoli will have to move quickly to beat competition from several English clubs interested in the Israeli talent.

Roma, Gasperini targets Pinamonti

Roma continue to move in the market to reshape their attack and, according to Tuttomercatoweb and echoed by several sources close to the Giallorossi environment, one of the profiles being monitored is also Andrea Pinamonti. The Sassuolo striker has long been liked by Gian Piero Gasperini, who had already asked for him during his time at Atalanta.

The 1999-born center-forward is considered an economically sustainable option and one suited to the ideas of the Roma coach, who wants a more physical and dynamic attack. Pinamonti ended the season with convincing Serie A numbers, and his name remains one to watch ahead of the summer, especially if the Giallorossi make major moves up front between departures and new arrivals. 

Lazio, Thiago Motta leading the race for the bench

Lazio are beginning to plan the future of their bench ahead of the possible departure of Maurizio Sarri, who is increasingly close to leaving the Biancoceleste club. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the name at the top of the list is Thiago Motta, followed by Raffaele Palladino and Fabio Pisacane.

More complicated, however, is the path leading to Miroslav Klose, which is currently considered difficult to pursue. Lotito’s club wants to make a decision quickly in order to open a new technical cycle and define the strategies for next season.

Fiorentina, Bournemouth interested in Fortini

Bournemouth are looking at Fiorentina and have set their sights on Niccolò Fortini. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the English club have already made initial contact for the 2006-born Viola full-back, considered one of the most interesting young players on the Italian scene.

However, evaluations by Bournemouth’s new coach, Marco Rose, who has been tasked with deciding the strategy for the left flank, will also weigh on Fortini’s future. In the meantime, Fiorentina remain on alert: the player is under contract until 2027 and in recent months had already attracted interest from several Italian clubs, including Roma, Juventus, and Napoli.
