Juventus, Kelly may leave at the end of the market
Juventus could move several pieces in this final phase of the market, both incoming and outgoing. Among the possible departures is Lloyd Kelly, who arrived just eight months ago and might already say goodbye to Turin to return to England.
According to SportMediasetCrystal Palace is strongly interested in the defender born in ’98. Juve would earn slightly more than the 17 million spent, after the 15 appearances collected by the central defender. For Tuttomercatowebhe is not considered central to Igor Tudor’s plans (Tmw).
Milan, Demiral idea for defense
Milan continues to evaluate reinforcements for the defensive department, and among the names considered is also Mehdi Demiral. The former defender of Juventus and Atalanta, now at Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, could represent a concrete option for the Rossoneri.
As reported by Corriere dello Sportthe central defender born in ’98 would like to leave the Saudi Pro League to regain continuity ahead of the World Cup. A return to Serie A would be the ideal choice, with Milan closely following the evolution of the situation.
Inter, three names for defense
After the arrival of Diouf, Inter aims to provide Chivu with another reinforcement in defense, young but already ready for the leap. On the Nerazzurri’s notebook are three profiles, with hot tracks and others more complicated.
The first target was Yusuf Akcicek from Fenerbahce, but the 16 million offer was rejected: the Turks demand at least 20. Alternatively, as reported by Corriere dello Sportthey like Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes (valued at 50 million) and Joel Ordonez from Bruges, also followed by Juventus and estimated at 40 million.
Napoli, push for Højlund: is it closing?
Napoli accelerates for Rasmus Højlund: according to Fabrizio Romano, the Neapolitans are negotiating with Manchester United for a loan with an obligation to buy. It would be the chosen move to strengthen the Azzurri’s attack in this final phase of the market.
In the last hours, positive talks have taken place between the Danish striker and the club, with a general agreement on the technical project. United has been informed and is waiting for the parties to reach a final agreement to close the deal.
Roma, backstory on Boniface and Dovbyk
Before finalizing with Milan, according to La Gazzetta dello SportBayer Leverkusen had offered Boniface to several European clubs, including Roma. The German club proposed an exchange with Dovbyk, both valued at 30 million, to give the Giallorossi a striker more suited to Gasperini’s game and with a lower salary.
Massara considered the operation, but doubts about the Nigerian’s physical condition and off-field issues led Roma to decline. The choice also avoided a hurdle related to non-EU spots, keeping the search for a replacement for Dovbyk open.
Lazio, Gigot towards goodbye: remains on the sidelines
The future of Samuel Gigot seems marked: the French defender, excluded from the provisional list for Serie A, risks being left out of the final one as well. With the market running out, no concrete offers have arrived, and the former Marseille player could end up among the surplus.
Sarri has never considered him central to his plans, and physical problems have worsened the situation. Followed by Arab, Qatari clubs, and Paok, Gigot risks remaining in Formello as a separate entity, along with Fares and Kamenovic.
Fiorentina, Parma moves for Beltran
Fiorentina is pushing for the sale of Lucas Beltrán, now sidelined by the arrival of Piccoli. CSKA Moscow had presented an offer of 10-12 million, already accepted by the Viola club, but the striker is not convinced of the Russian destination and prefers to wait for possible openings from River Plate, which has not yet made concrete proposals.
According to Repubblica Firenze, Parma has also come forward, asking for information about the player. Meanwhile, the announcement of Piccoli has been postponed until after the match with Cagliari, although the operation remains solid.
