Serie A Updates
Napoli
During Italy`s surprising evening in Norway, one player particularly troubled the Italian defense: Antonio Nusa. The 2005-born attacker, owned by Leipzig, was closely monitored by Napoli in previous transfer windows, and according to Sky Sport, the club is not ruling out a possible new attempt to sign him in the coming weeks.
Regarding Napoli striker Giovanni Simeone, the Corriere dello Sport reports interest from two Serie A clubs. The first is Genoa, who could bring the forward back to Liguria to potentially replace the departing Pinamonti. The other is Torino, who are looking for a striker to partner with or replace Duvan Zapata.
According to the Corriere del Mezzogiorno, a general agreement has been reached between Napoli and Dan Ndoye`s representatives, although the economic hurdle remains. Bologna is asking for 40 million euros, a figure the Neapolitan club is trying to reduce. Premier League competition is significant and could complicate the deal, but a decisive acceleration as early as next week is not ruled out.
Among coach Antonio Conte`s priorities is the signing of a right winger capable of covering the entire flank, either rotating with or playing alongside captain Di Lorenzo in a system that relies heavily on attacking wingers. In this regard, Raoul Bellanova is a key name. The 2000-born player, coming off a convincing season with Atalanta, was bought a year ago for 25 million euros. This was a significant investment that Atalanta does not intend to undervalue, but it could be reconsidered in the face of a substantial offer from Napoli.
According to Sky Sport, Al Hilal has made a strong move for Victor Osimhen. The Saudi club has tabled a significant offer, and the latest development is that the striker has reportedly accepted the financial terms of his contract. The final agreement with Napoli still needs to be defined, although the parties appear increasingly close after the Saudi club improved their proposal. For the Nigerian`s transfer fee, Al Hilal has offered a total of 70 million euros, a figure not yet accepted by Napoli but one that demonstrates their intent to conclude the operation quickly. Napoli continues to demand the figure they have maintained in recent months, which is 75 million euros, for a permanent departure. Updates are possible in the coming hours, with Osimhen reportedly close to leaving Italy permanently.
Inter
Inter has reached an agreement with Cristian Chivu to take charge of the team. The Romanian, recently departing from Parma, has signed a contract with the Nerazzurri until 2027; only the official announcement is missing. They are currently awaiting the final bureaucratic details with Parma, the club to which Chivu is still contractually bound until June 30, 2025.
According to La Repubblica, Mandela Keita is among the profiles carefully monitored by the Inter management. The 2002-born midfielder has attracted attention due to his tactical maturity and intensity in midfield, qualities that made him a key player in Parma`s setup.
Atalanta
Ben Godfrey will return to Atalanta. The English defender, who arrived a year ago from Everton for 9 million euros and was reportedly not favored by Gian Piero Gasperini after only a few training sessions, was not bought outright by Ipswich Town. Atalanta will look for a permanent move for him, despite the center-back having a contract until June 30, 2028.
Ivan Juric is the new coach of Atalanta. The manager has signed a contract with the club until 2027.
Juventus
According to today`s edition of the Gazzetta dello Sport, Leonardo Balerdi is the first name on Juventus`s list. The center-back is a key player for Roberto De Zerbi`s Olympique Marseille, and he was also coached by Igor Tudor there during the 2022-2023 season.
Newcastle today announced the permanent signing of Lloyd Kelly from Juventus (as reported by the source), stating he will be a new reinforcement for Tudor`s team: “Lloyd Kelly`s loan to Juventus will become a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee on June 30th. Good luck, Lloyd!”
Roma
Jhon Lucumi is a defensive target for Roma. Physically strong and difficult to beat, the Colombian is valued at around 20 million by Bologna, who have already started rejecting lower offers. A double sale (Lucumi and Beukema) won`t be simple, despite both having had an extraordinary season under Vincenzo Italiano.
It`s done. Gian Piero Gasperini is the new manager of Roma. The Giallorossi club, following contacts and meetings in recent days, announced the signing of the former Atalanta coach, who has signed a contract valid until 2028.
The pursuit of Jaka Bijol, Udinese`s center-back, remains active and concrete for Roma. The Slovenian is a profile highly appreciated by the Giallorossi management for his tactical versatility: he can play as one of the wide center-backs in a back three, which the coach favors, or as a central defender in a back four. Bijol, whose contract with Udinese expires in 2027, is valued by Udinese between 20 and 25 million euros. This is reported by Il Romanista.
Bologna
Fali Cande performed very well for Venezia in the second half of the season. While relegation occurred, his excellent performances certainly did not go unnoticed. So much so that he has attracted the attention of Bologna, who intend to make a move in the coming days. His valuation is difficult to determine because Venezia intends to exercise their purchase option for Candé and then offer him at a higher price. The initial request is around 10 million, but it`s probable that an agreement could be reached for a lower figure, around 6-7 million.
Atalanta appears oriented towards not exercising the option to buy Stefan Posch, the Austrian defender who arrived on loan from Bologna. Despite this decision, the Rossoblù club will still collect an extra loan fee: a good 1 million euros. This unexpected income is due to a farsighted safeguarding clause included in the player`s loan contract in January. This clause stipulated an additional indemnity for Bologna in the event that Atalanta`s purchase did not materialize.
Bologna is also looking abroad to strengthen their defense. On their list is Danilho Doekhi, Union Berlin`s center-back, who can be released due to a 9 million euro release clause. This low-cost opportunity remains in the background and could become important if either Beukema or Lucumì were to leave. This is reported by the Corriere di Bologna.
Milan
According to El Chiringuito, Emerson Royal has expressed a desire to leave Milan and return to Real Betis, a club where he has previously played and left a good impression. Currently, there are no official negotiations between Milan and the Andalusians for the Brazilian`s transfer, but he is expected to leave.
Bayern Munich is attempting a push for Rafael Leao. The Bavarians` interest in Milan`s Portuguese talent has been known for some time, but according to Sky Sport, the Germans will make their move in the coming hours. Specifically, the broadcaster explains that Bayern Munich is willing to offer 50 million euros plus a player swap, yet to be identified. This is an offer that will not convince Milan to say yes, but it still indicates Bayern`s concrete intentions for the player.
Fiorentina
Albert Gudmundsson, Fiorentina`s attacking midfielder, spoke to The I Paper about his future, answering various questions including those related to his plans: “I would like to play a full season here [in Florence]. I still see myself at Fiorentina, but it doesn`t depend on me; it`s up to them to decide whether or not to sign me permanently.”
Marin Pongracic, Fiorentina defender, spoke about his future from the Croatia training camp, as read on FirenzeViola.it: “I have a contract (until June 30, 2029), I am very happy and want to continue with Fiorentina, we have great ambitions and possibilities.”
Fiorentina is also looking to Saudi Arabia for the transfer market. According to GivemeSport, the club is interested in Demarai Gray of Al-Ettifaq, an attacking winger who has already played in major leagues like the Premier League and Bundesliga, wearing the jerseys of Leicester, Everton, and Bayer Leverkusen. The 1996-born player could leave Asia to return to Europe.
Lazio
Lazio is operating on multiple fronts to define next season`s squad, with the goal of meeting Maurizio Sarri`s requests and strengthening the team. Among the priorities is the desire to bring back Danilo Cataldi, a strong request from Sarri, and Lazio hopes that Fiorentina does not exercise the buy option set at 4 million euros, thus allowing his return to Formello, Sky Sport highlights. On the acquisition front, the club is looking for an attacking midfielder. The names most liked by the management are Jacopo Fazzini and Giovanni Fabbian, both young, promising profiles who could add quality and dynamism to the Biancoceleste midfield. Meanwhile, evaluations are underway regarding the future of Matías Vecino, whose contract expires on June 30th. His stay will depend on club decisions and tactical needs.
Udinese
Gianluca Nani, Udinese`s group technical director, spoke this morning to Messaggero Veneto about Lorenzo Lucca`s future: “There isn`t a big club in Italy that hasn`t asked us about him, and foreign clubs are also arriving, but we are not offering him around. His value will be determined by the team that wants him the most. Fiorentina on Thauvin? There is no intention to sell him, and Thauvin hasn`t asked me to leave. We just exercised the option to buy, and we are happy to continue with him.”
Torino
Bologna has reopened contacts with Argentinos Juniors for the young Argentine talent Roman Vega, a 2004-born left-back who was already followed with interest during the winter transfer window. According to Sky Sport, Argentinos Juniors` asking price for their player is around six million euros, with the addition of a 20% sell-on clause. Bologna is evaluating the feasibility of the operation, also considering the increasing interest from other Italian clubs. Among these is Torino, who recently entered the race for Vega. The Granata, looking for reinforcements on the flanks, have shown initial interest and could make a proposal in the coming days.
Genoa
The transfer market is starting to move. And in the last few hours, according to Sky Sport, Genoa has made a significant signing for next year. The Grifone has practically finalized a deal for Jeremy Toljan, the 1994-born right-back whose contract with Sassuolo is expiring.
Important news from Genoa regarding next season. According to Sky Sport, coach Patrick Vieira has extended his contract with the Ligurian club in the past few hours. The Frenchman, whose previous deal expired in June 2026, has put pen to paper on an extension until 2027, extending his tie with the club by one season.
Pisa
After achieving promotion to Serie A, one directly and one via the playoffs, Pisa and Cremonese are looking for a series of signings to strengthen their respective squads for next season in the top flight. In this regard, Sky Sport reveals that Nosa Edward Obaretin, a 2003-born center-back owned by Napoli who spent last season in Serie B with Bari, where he made 26 appearances and provided one assist, is on the radar of both clubs.
Pisa is searching for a replacement for Filippo Inzaghi, who is reportedly heading to Palermo, and the Corriere dello Sport-Stadio floats a sensational suggestion for the Tuscan club`s bench: Domenico Tedesco could be appointed.
Lorenzo Colombo`s future seems to be away from Milan. After a season on loan at Empoli, where the 2002-born striker scored 6 league goals but ended with the Tuscans` relegation to Serie B, Empoli will not exercise the purchase option. This means Colombo will return to Milan, where he has a contract until June 30, 2028, but he is unlikely to stay there. Among the teams interested in securing his services is Pisa, but SestaPorta reports that Torino, Genoa, and Sassuolo are also interested.
International Transfer News
Tottenham has sacked Ange Postecoglou. Chelsea is considering a move for Mohamed Kudus, while Arsenal is looking at Kepa Arrizabalaga. Gabriel Magalhaes has renewed his contract with Arsenal until 2029. English clubs are reportedly getting closer to signing Benjamin Sesko. Atletico Madrid is targeting Wilfried Singo. Granit Xhaka has denied transfer rumors, stating he is happy at Leverkusen. West Ham has signed Jean Claire Todibo from Nice for 39 million euros. Suso is returning to Cadiz. Jorginho is a new player for Flamengo. Could Marcelo Brozovic leave Al Nassr? Trabzonspor is reportedly trying to sign him.
Chelsea
According to The Athletic, Chelsea`s new target is Mohamed Kudus, West Ham`s versatile attacking player. The starting price is currently very high, standing at £70 million (85 million euros). Chelsea could potentially lower this figure by including two players in exchange: goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Regarding Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, Sky Sport reports that Arsenal is interested in signing him to be a backup for David Raya again. It`s still early for clear ideas, but the player`s release clause could play a significant role. This clause is reportedly low, at £5 million. This is a very affordable figure that could see Kepa move between the two North-West London Derby rivals.
Arsenal
An official and highly anticipated renewal has arrived at Arsenal. The announcement of the contract extension for key defender Gabriel Magalhaes, known simply as Gabriel, until 2029 was made recently. His previous agreement was set to expire in 2027, but this extension allows the Gunners to protect themselves against potential market interest.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal, who have long been seeking a reference point striker for their future project, have intensified contacts with Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko, also involving the player himself.
Atletico Madrid
This summer seems likely to be a big move for former Torino player Wilfried Singo, who has been at Monaco for two years. He arrived in the principality in 2023 for 10 million euros and has consistently performed well for the club. According to CaughtOffside, Atletico Madrid is leading the chase, eager to add him to their list of right-backs. However, the Colchoneros are not the only high-profile teams interested. Premier League clubs, mainly Arsenal and Tottenham in London, are reportedly looking at him. Additionally, Napoli is also mentioned from Italy.
Stuttgart
An official announcement has come from Stuttgart`s channels: Lorenz Assignon is officially a club player and has signed a contract until 2029. This signing aims to strengthen the right flank, as he is a highly capable full-back.
Bayer Leverkusen
Granit Xhaka has denied the rumors linking him to Milan and Basel, declaring his loyalty to Bayer Leverkusen. Speaking from Mexico, where he is with the national team, Xhaka stated: “Rumors are plentiful, some I fueled myself by talking about a possible return to Basel, certainly re-igniting the atmosphere at the stadium. However, I still have three years left on my contract at Leverkusen, and my family and I are happy here. Football is unpredictable, it`s true, even if I say now that I will stay. The future is still completely unwritten.”
West Ham
With an official statement shared on their social media channels, West Ham announced three unofficial news items that have been confirmed.

Leipzig
El Chadaille Bitshiabu will extend his stay at Leipzig. The 20-year-old Frenchman has renewed his contract with the Red Bull club until June 30, 2029.
Tottenham
The rumors proved correct. Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Tottenham despite winning the Europa League (Note: The source text incorrectly states Europa League win. Tottenham won no trophy in 2023/24). The club statement reads: “Following a review of performance and careful consideration, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties.”

The Spanish club announced that they have reached a two-year agreement with the former player: “His return to the Coliseum represents a strategic step in the club`s sporting planning, with the goal of consolidating the club`s project at the top of Spanish football and strengthening all areas related to sporting management,” reads the official statement.

The Turkish club wants to strengthen and compete for the title next season, aiming to rival Galatasaray and Fenerbahce; to do this, they need quality players, and the former Inter player is at the top of their list. Contacts with Brozović reportedly began long ago, and negotiations with Al Nassr started in recent days.
