No sooner had the three days of European cups been filed away than it’s already time for Serie A, with Inter hosting Pisa at San Siro, opening the 22nd round of the championship.Â
Field and played football, but not only: the market is heating up with many negotiations. Below, as usual, the most important news for the big teams in Serie A.
Juventus, sprint for Krediet
According to Romeo Agresti, Juventus is very close to the Feyenoord talent, the 2010-born Fortunato Krediet. The Bianconeri are indeed in advanced negotiations for the young defensive midfielder, who is highly regarded in Dutch circles.
Also according to Agresti, there is the possibility of his immediate arrival in Turin, with subsequent inclusion in Juventus’s youth teams. The operation is therefore in a very advanced stage and could materialize in the coming weeks.
Milan, monitoring McKennie
As reported by TMW, Juventus and Weston McKennie’s entourage will meet again in February to discuss the possible renewal of the American midfielder, whose contract expires in June. Luciano Spalletti is pushing for his confirmation, while the player is asking for 4.5 million net per season for four and a half years, compared to the current 2.5 million.
Meanwhile, according to TMW, Milan and Roma are observing the situation to attempt a free transfer if the renewal with Juventus does not go through. The midfielder’s future remains very open.
Inter, Besiktas’s offer for Luis Henrique rejected
The Turkish newspaper Milliyet reports that BeÅŸiktaÅŸ made an official offer to Inter for Luis Henrique, a Brazilian winger purchased from Marseille for 22.8 million at the start of the season. The proposed operation was a loan with an option to buy, but Inter’s response was negative.
Also according to Milliyet, Beşiktaş, engaged in a very active market, is evaluating alternatives while continuing contacts only with profiles approved by coach Sergen Yalçın. Other negotiations for reinforcements in defense and on the wings remain a priority.
Napoli, assault on Lookman and Maldini
According to Il Mattino, Napoli has intensified contacts with Atalanta to further strengthen the attack after closing the Giovane deal, pending official confirmation. Talks are decisively underway for Daniel Maldini, who could arrive on loan with a summer option to become the other winger available in the second part of the season.
The newspaper adds that the real target remains Ademola Lookman, who returned to Bergamo after the Africa Cup of Nations and is considered likely to leave between now and the summer. The problem is the formula: the “zero balance” until February 2 complicates any economic maneuver, which is why Napoli cannot force but relies on Atalanta’s need to sell without underselling, also in light of the role numerically covered by the return of former Azzurri player Raspadori.
Roma, distance with Tottenham for Dragusin
The Corriere dello Sport reports that there is still a distance between Roma and Tottenham on the formula of the operation for Radu Dragusin. The Spurs would prefer a permanent transfer, while the Giallorossi aim for a loan with an option to buy.
The parties will update in the coming days to try to reach an agreement. The negotiation remains open, but currently without agreement on the formula.
Lazio, idea Ranieri for defense
According to Alfredo Pedullà , Lazio is among the teams interested in Luca Ranieri, a Fiorentina defender stripped of the captain’s armband and now relegated to a reserve after the switch to a four-man defense wanted by Paolo Vanoli. The player could leave the Viola as early as January.
Pedullà reports that Torino is also on the trail of the Spezia defender. His situation at Fiorentina, combined with reduced playing time, makes the possibility of an imminent transfer concrete.
Fiorentina, Sabiri towards departure
Abdelhamid Sabiri is set to leave Fiorentina in the January market. The 1996-born attacking midfielder, on the fringes of the technical project and with only one league appearance, is among the profiles set to exit.
According to TMW, Genoa is interested in the player as a reinforcement between the lines, but it is not the only club on his trail: two other Italian clubs have also inquired. The Moroccan’s future seems to be away from Florence.
