Costa to Turkey, 2009 talent to Roma, Loftus-Cheek price: transfers🤑 | OneFootball

With the arrival of July 1st, the 2025/26 season has effectively kicked off for Italian clubs. Between contracts ending and new projects on the horizon, all the teams are diving headfirst into the new season.

With Inter eliminated from the Club World Cup and Juventus playing against Real Madrid tonight, news also comes from the football field. However, many headlines are dedicated to negotiations. Below are the most relevant of the day involving the top clubs.

Juve, Galatasaray eyeing Alberto Costa

According to Sportmediaset, Galatasaray has set its sights on Alberto Costa, a Juventus defender who arrived in Turin during the winter transfer window. The young talent, born in 2003, has attracted the interest of the Turkish club thanks to his convincing performances.

However, Juventus has no intention of letting him go and has responded with a firm refusal to the proposal. The Bianconeri consider Costa a valuable asset for the future and intend to continue betting on him.

Milan, Pobega heading for goodbye

Tommaso Pobega could say goodbye to Milan in this transfer window, with Cremonese having already made concrete moves for the midfielder. According to TMW, the gray-red club has indeed initiated the first contacts to understand the feasibility of the operation.

In the meantime, Bologna remains vigilant and continues to monitor the situation without making official steps. Pobega represents an interesting profile for several teams looking for midfield reinforcements.

Inter gives up on Fabbian: the decision

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, Inter has decided not to exercise the right of repurchase on Giovanni Fabbian, who will therefore definitely stay at Bologna. In the past, a clause had been established that allowed the Nerazzurri to take him back for 12 million euros.

Bologna's management had already anticipated this choice, but now the deadline set for June 30 has made the decision official. Consequently, the young midfielder becomes a firm point for the Emilian team.

Napoli, eyes on Yarmolyuk

According to Corriere del Mezzogiorno, Napoli has started to move for Arseniy Yarmolyuk, a young midfielder born in 2004 who plays for Brentford. The Neapolitan club has initiated the first contacts to understand the feasibility of the operation. The idea is to invest in an emerging talent, aiming to strengthen the midfield.

The Ukrainian player, currently engaged with the Under 21 national team, is considered a prospect of great potential. Napoli evaluates the operation also with a view to rejuvenating the squad for the future. Despite the interest, the negotiation is still in the early stages.

Roma, incoming talent born in 2009

As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma is now close to closing the deal to bring Antonio Arena to the Capital. The young Pescara striker has already made a name for himself by scoring a record among professionals, becoming the first born in 2009 to do so in Italy.

Arena also holds the record for the youngest debutant in the history of Serie C, having debuted at just 16 years and 25 days. The yellow-red club is thus preparing to welcome a prospect of great value, which will however have to be managed with great care to promote his growth.

Lazio, price set for Loftus-Cheek

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has attracted the attention of several teams, including Lazio, some Turkish clubs, and Premier League teams. However, as reported by journalist Daniele Longo on X, Massimiliano Allegri, the new Milan coach, considers the midfielder a fundamental piece.

Allegri firmly believes that Loftus-Cheek can become a reference point for the future of Milan. For this reason, the club seems intent on keeping him, unless offers exceed 25 million euros. Only a proposal of this magnitude could shake the Rossoneri club.

Fiorentina, Betis insists on Mandragora

According to Diario de Sevilla, Real Betis has intensified contacts for Rolando Mandragora, a midfielder currently playing for Fiorentina. In recent hours, the Spanish club had a meeting with the player's agents, who were favorable to a transfer.

Now it remains to convince the Viola club, an obstacle that Betis hopes to overcome by presenting a significant offer. The figure on the table should be around twelve million euros, an amount considered adequate to try to close the operation.
