Juve, O’Riley closer: but sales are needed
Juventus are once again pushing for Matt O’Riley, the Danish midfielder from Brighton who has been followed in the past. According to Tuttosport, after initial positive contacts, the player has agreed to the move and is ready to sign a five-year contract worth around €3 million per season.
To complete the deal, valued at €30 million, the newspaper emphasizes that the Bianconeri will first need to sell at least two players among Douglas Luiz, McKennie, and Miretti. Standing over 1.90 meters tall and possessing good technique, O’Riley is notable for his effectiveness both defensively and offensively.
Milan, Saelemaekers set for renewal
After his loan spell at Roma, Alexis Saelemaekers has returned to Milan and is impressing during pre-season. His positive performances under Massimiliano Allegri are increasing the chances of him staying.
As reported by Daniele Longo of calciomercato.com, the club has started initial talks to renew the contract of the versatile winger.
Inter, Galatasaray targets Pavard
Inter are open to the possible sale of Benjamin Pavard, considered more expendable than Bisseck. According to Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray have initiated contacts through intermediaries to assess the feasibility of the deal. At the moment, no official offer has been made, but the Turkish champions could soon step forward.
As reported in recent days by Matteo Moretto, the former Bayern Munich defender is also considering an experience in Saudi Arabia, while it remains to be seen if the Turkish club’s interest will lead to a transfer in this window.
Napoli, Gutiérrez clause and thoughts on Elmas
Napoli have finalized the deal for Miguel Gutiérrez, with all documents already signed with Girona. The Spanish full-back will soon arrive in Italy for his medicals.
As revealed by Fabrizio Romano, the contract will include a €45 million release clause, valid for all clubs only at the end of the 2026/27 season, that is, after the first two years. The deal will also be communicated to Real Madrid, who will receive a percentage of the transfer fee.
Gianluca Di Marzio and Alfredo Pedullà also report Napoli’s interest in Elmas; the former Napoli player did very well at Torino in the second half of the season. He has now returned to Leipzig and his price is around €18/20 million.
Roma also in the race for Sancho
The Italian options for Jadon Sancho remain alive. Roma, in particular, conducted a concrete and in-depth inquiry yesterday, confirming their interest in a profile highly appreciated by Gasperini: as reported by Sky Sport and Alfredo Pedullà.
Talks will continue in the coming days to assess the feasibility of the deal. Juventus, who had been waiting for the player in recent weeks, now see him free to choose without constraints, while Inter have moved through an intermediary, but for now their priority remains Lookman.
Lazio, Gigot’s future uncertain
Samuel Gigot is dealing with sciatica that is keeping him sidelined, but his future at Lazio remains uncertain. According to cittaceleste.it, the French defender, not entirely fitting Sarri’s tactical needs, could leave despite a good past season. The club is willing to consider offers between €3 and €4 million.
There is interest from the Arab world, but at the moment there are no concrete proposals: the next few weeks will be decisive in clarifying his future.
Fiorentina, moves for the midfield
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Fiorentina do not plan new midfield signings without first making sales. The arrival of Simon Sohm has already strengthened a department full of options for Stefano Pioli. The focus remains on Rolando Mandragora, whose contract expires in 2026 and who has yet to agree on a renewal.
Among the profiles being followed are Harry Winks, now at Leicester but targeted by Valencia, and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, owned by Venezia. Any incoming transfer will depend on possible departures.
