Today's transfer market: Neres off, Juventus exits, Khalaili to Inter 🤑

Juventus are trying to offload a few surplus players, Milan are assessing a youngster, and Inter hope to reach an agreement with USG to hand Chivu the long-awaited replacement for Dumfries. 

The transfer market never sleeps, as we know, and even in the middle of the World Cup there is no shortage of interesting developments.

Let’s take a look at today’s most relevant updates.

Juventus, Gatti and Kelly on the way out! Thuram...

Juventus continue to work on outgoing transfers to trim the squad and make room for upcoming signings. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri will evaluate any offers for Gatti and Kelly, while the future of Koopmeiners also remains up in the air, with his sale potentially providing fresh financial resources to reinvest.

Among the players with one foot out the door is also Khéphren Thuram, although he could leave only in the face of a significant offer, while Openda appears closer to departure, with his time in Turin seemingly already over. 

Milan, two out and Valdepenas in?

Milan continue working to strengthen the defence and, in addition to Mario Gila, are considering another addition to the back line. As reported by Tuttosport, the club could also move depending on the possible departures of Fikayo Tomori and David Odogu, both currently under evaluation by the club.

The future of the latter seems the most uncertain: after limited playing time last season, the defender could leave on loan to find more consistency. In the event of a departure, according to Tuttosport, Milan have already identified a possible replacement in Victor Valdepenas, a 2006-born Real Madrid player who has been followed by the Rossoneri management for some time.

Inter, Khalaili also misses the second friendly

The transfer of Anan Khalaili to Inter now seems increasingly close. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Israeli winger has decided not to take part in the next Union Saint-Gilloise friendly either, with the aim of avoiding any risk that could slow down his move to the Nerazzurri. It is a choice also shared by the Belgian club, ready to secure a major capital gain from his sale.

An agreement between Inter and the player’s entourage has already been reached, while the financial terms with Union Saint-Gilloise still need to be finalized. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the parties are closing the gap: the Nerazzurri want to keep the investment within €25 million, while the Belgian club are looking to maximize the fee. The goal is to complete the deal in the coming days.

Napoli, not only Lang: Neres could also leave

Napoli could sacrifice one of Noa Lang and David Neres during this transfer window. According to CalcioNapoli24, the possible sale of one of the two wingers would be linked to the requests of Massimiliano Allegri, with the aim of financing new signings.

The final decision will be made after the coach’s assessments during the training camp, but neither player is considered untouchable. As reported by CalcioNapoli24, an offer deemed suitable could convince the club to part ways with one of Lang and Neres, thus opening up new transfer scenarios.

Roma, wage issue for Greenwood

Roma continue to track Mason Greenwood, but for now they have chosen to wait. As reported by Alfredo Pedullà, the Giallorossi still want to try to complete the deal, although the positions of the other interested clubs, including Atletico Madrid and Fenerbahce, remain to be seen.

The main issue concerns his wages: Greenwood is asking for more than the €5 million per season offered by Roma, including bonuses. According to Alfredo Pedullà, the profile appeals both to the club and to Gasperini, but the club must assess whether it can support such a major investment.

Lazio, Cataldi heading for renewal

Danilo Cataldi is celebrating his twentieth year at Lazio and is aiming to continue his Biancoceleste adventure. As reported by Il Messaggero, the midfielder has made himself available for a long-term renewal, with the aim of ending his career at the club that developed him.

After a difficult period, Cataldi has become central once again to Lazio’s project and will also be assessed by Gattuso upon his return. The player is currently recovering from surgery for osteitis pubis, but is working to be available again soon. His contract expires in 2027, but the future could still continue together.

Fiorentina, the alternatives to Koleosho

Fiorentina are waiting for Burnley’s decision on Luca Koleosho, who is also attracting interest from Paris FC. The 2004-born winger has expressed a preference for the Viola, but the final decision will be up to the English club, which are evaluating the best offer after relegation to the Championship.

While waiting for developments, Fiorentina are considering some alternatives: the most closely followed name is Johan Bakayoko of Leipzig, although the cost of the operation is around €20 million. Also in the background is Cristian Volpato of Sassuolo, a profile appreciated for his characteristics and lower cost. According to Calciomercato.com, the Viola continue to monitor several tracks to complete the attacking department.
