Juve Make First Official Move for Argentine Striker

Juventus have lodged an initial bid for Mateo Pellegrino, targeting the Argentine forward from Parma. The proposal is a loan with an obligation to buy at €30 million if Juve finish 10th in Serie A.

Milan坚定态​度：不会出售拉比奥

Adrien Rabiot shows no desire to force a departure from Milan despite recent Napoli links. The midfielder remains under contract until 2028, and only a very substantial offer could change his status. Owner Gerry Cardinale has made it clear he wants the Frenchman to stay, and coach Amorim sees him as a key part of the 3‑4‑2‑1 system.

Inter Keep Watch on Khalilli While Doué Looms Large

Inter are awaiting further medical tests on Khalilli, hoping for a positive result that would finalize the deal.

Napoli Near Completion of Zeballos Signing

Napoli are on the cusp of finalizing the transfer of Exequiel Zeballos from Boca Juniors.

The deal is in its final details stage and could be concluded imminently.

Roma Plot Garnacho Deal with Performance Triggers

Roma continue to monitor Alejandro Garnacho, especially after he was left out of Chelsea’s training camp. The Giallorossi find the €45‑50 million valuation too steep for a permanent purchase.

Lazio Eye Free‑Agent Doekhi as Defensive Solution

Following the departures of Romagnoli and Gila, Lazio are exploring low‑cost defensive options. According to Fabrizio Romano, the club have set their sights on Danilho Doekhi, a free‑agent former Union Berlin defender. Initial contacts have already been made, positioning Doekhi as a potential short‑term reinforcement.

Fiorentina Stuck in Price Gap Over Oulai

Fiorentina’s interest in Trabzonspor’s Christ Inao Oulai remains a topic of speculation despite the club stating it is not a concrete target. The Turkish side values the midfielder at about €40 million, while the Viola are prepared to exceed €20 million. The significant price difference keeps the deal from moving forward at present.
