Juve eye Lookman, Inter-Lucca twist, Napoli renewals: today’s news 🔥 | OneFootball

The international break is behind us and Serie A teams are preparing to return to the field: the third matchday of the league is just around the corner.

Clubs are working on multiple fronts: not only on the pitch but also in the transfer market, which never really closes and always offers new insights with behind-the-scenes stories and possible deals ahead of January.

Let’s take a look at the main news concerning the top teams in our league.

Juventus, crazy idea Lookman

Juventus remains active even with the transfer window closed. Dusan Vlahovic, whose contract expires next summer, will be free to negotiate with other clubs from January, and according to Tuttosport, Inter has already approached the Serbian striker.

The Bianconeri, led by Comolli, seem determined to respond decisively and have set their sights on Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, in a transfer saga that risks igniting new rivalries.

Milan, the truth about Origi

Matteo Moretto spoke about Divock Origi’s future in a video on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel. He clarified that “it was not my understanding that the Belgian was in advanced talks with Milan for a contract termination, and I can confirm that now.”

The striker, under contract until 2026, will not terminate immediately, but the separation is expected in January. According to Moretto, “I expect everything to be concluded in January.”

Inter, behind the scenes on Lucca

A transfer market backstory concerns Lorenzo Lucca. Before joining Napoli, the Italian striker was scouted by Inter, who had included him on their list of possible attacking reinforcements.

As revealed by Matteo Moretto, the Nerazzurri had considered both the then Udinese striker and Santiago Castro from Bologna, but ultimately decided to go for Bonny, formerly of Parma, chosen as the final piece for Cristian Chivu’s attack.

Napoli, 4 contract renewals on the way

Napoli is planning contract renewals. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Matteo Politano will extend until 2028 with a salary of around three million euros.

After him, it will be the turn of Antonio Vergara and midfielders Zambo Anguissa and Amir Rrahmani, who are already tied to the club until 2027 but are ready to discuss a further extension.

Roma, the plan for FFP

Roma needs to recover about 90 million to comply with the settlement agreement signed in 2022 with UEFA. La Gazzetta dello Sport reminds that by the end of the three-year period, the deficit must be reduced to within 60 million, or else face harsher penalties than the fines already received.

To achieve this goal, the Giallorossi are focusing on sales (Ndicka, Koné, and Soulé are the main candidates), sponsorships, and sporting results. The Friedkin family’s investments, although substantial, do not count towards the Fair Play calculation.

Lazio, an ‘old’ name for defense

The failure to sign Jan-Carlo Simic, who ended up at Al-Ittihad with an offer of 20 million plus bonuses, forced Lazio to change targets. As explained by Corriere dello Sport, the swift deal caught the Biancocelesti management off guard.

Now the hottest name is Wout Faes, Belgian defender from Leicester born in 1998, previously linked to the capital club and once again proposed as a reinforcement ahead of January.

Fiorentina, double striker and Nicolussi from the start

According to La Nazione, Stefano Pioli wants to turn Roberto Piccoli into a sort of new Mateo Retegui, focusing on a two-striker system. In Turin, however, the Moise-Bobby tandem did not convince.

Looking ahead to the match against Napoli, the coaching staff has insisted on the 3-5-2 formation, with Nicolussi Caviglia starting from the first minute, who could become a central element of the new setup.
