The summary of all the transfer market news of the day that has just been archived. Between rumors, negotiations and behind the scenes, here is the most important news.
INTER, GREAT MANEUVERS, INZAGHI LIKES GUDMUNDSSON. BUT EXITS ARE NEEDED. MILAN, NOW FONSECA: A BIENNIAL WITH OPTION IS READY, THERE IS NO LACK OF CONTROVERSY. TMW – NAPLES-CONTE, CLOSE PARTIES: A THREE-YEAR DEAL FOR 6.5 MILLION PLUS BONUSES IS READY. TMW – NAPLES, FOLORUNSHO PERFECT FOR CONTE. THE CLUB WANTS TO SECURE THE MIDFIELDER. INTER, IF DUMFRIES LEAVES THE FAVORITE TO REPLACE HIM IS THE JAPANESE SUGAWARA
Idea number one has a first and last name: Albert Gudmundsson. The Corriere dello Sport on newsstands today dedicates ample space to the future maneuvers of Inter, champions of Italy, the change of ownership – from Zhang to Oaktree – does not clearly change what were the company’s strategies regarding the market: “Oaktree does not is different from that of Suning, on the contrary: the incoming market will have to be financed by the outgoing one and the final balance of the purchasing campaign will have to be at least in balance, if not in the black.” A way to deal with the debt situation, a point from which to start again in order to build the squad of the future.
However, first we will have to give in (Denzel Dumfries seems to be the number one candidate) then we will think about possible revenue. Not only Gudmundsson, a profile that Simone Inzaghi likes a lot, the Nerazzurri have targeted Bento for the goal given that Audero will most likely leave the Nerazzurri after just one season. Then we also think about a central defender, the objective is to strengthen the defensive package in such a way as to be competitive also in the next Champions League. And the renewals? Time passes, then we will talk about the coach’s contract and the permanence of Lautaro Martinez. I’m talking about sustainability, without forgetting the budget.
For the post-Pioli period there is now no doubt, room for Paulo Fonseca. Yesterday the now former Rossoneri coach greeted the entire AC Milan public (despite the controversies of recent weeks Pioli was greeted with much applause), from tomorrow the club will begin to put together the new season: La Gazzetta dello Sport on newsstands this morning reiterated that Milan and Fonseca will come together and try to create a new cycle together, but the official announcement should arrive after the friendly match in Australia against Roma, scheduled in Perth. A two-year contract with an option for a third or directly a three-year contract would already be ready for the coach, worth around three million per season.
However, there is no shortage of controversy over the choice of coach. After the protests over the possible arrival of Lopetegui, the Rossoneri people could also welcome the former Roma player with skepticism: the fans would prefer a coach with a higher quality pedigree and a fighting spirit. In July, however, a new cycle will begin at Milanello, with Fonseca sitting in Stefano Pioli’s place.
Details are missing, but the parts are close. In fact, very close. The forcing by Napoli continues to convince Antonio Conte to accept the blue bench: according to what has been learned by the editorial staff of TuttoMercatoWeb.com only the details are missing, the Neapolitan club has offered a three-year contract at 6.5 million euros per season which will added bonuses. White smoke could arrive in the next few days, now the former Juventus and Inter coach is one step away from the Neapolitans.
The choice of De Laurentiis After the contacts that took place in recent weeks, president De Laurentiis managed to find the right squaring of the circle: Conte has always sent signals of appreciation towards the project and the square, after Gian Piero Gasperini’s no – the Orobic coach will remain in Bergamo after the Europa League victory, in the next few days the renewal until 2027 – the club has decided to bet everything on the former Tottenham player. Three years at Juventus and two at Inter, Conte won a total of four Scudetti (three with the Bianconeri and one with the Nerazzurri) and two Italian Super Cups. After Inter, Conte chose to return to England, but his adventure at Tottenham ended with his dismissal in March 2023. Now the former Azzurri coach returns to Italy with the desire to erase a bad year.
Michael Folorunsho has been one of the great protagonists of Hellas Verona this season, so much so that he earned the call from coach Spalletti for the pre-summit squad for the European Championship. The player is owned by Napoli and the Italian club intends to make him one of the cornerstones of the future, even more so with the possible arrival of Antonio Conte on the bench.
According to what TMW gathered, in fact, Napoli intends to secure the player with a contract renewal also to put a stop to the many requests that have arrived.
Denzel Dumfries could leave Inter this summer, the European Championship against the Netherlands will be an important showcase for the right winger who could increase his market value even if the contract expiring in 2025 does not allow the Nerazzurri to ask for huge sums . There is no lack of interest, especially from the Premier League, for the Dutch winger and Inter want to avoid another Skriniar case so as to lose him on a free transfer next summer.
According to Tuttosport, Simone Inzaghi is rooting for the renewal of Dumfries. He doesn’t want to start the fixed points of this Inter and among these there is also the Dutchman but in case of farewell there is already an alternative track: the favorite is the Japanese full-back Yukinari Sugawara of AZ.
OFFICIAL – CHRIS COLEMAN DEPARTS FROM CYPRUS. THE FORMER WALES COACH IS THE NEW COACH OF AEL LIMASSOL. ATLETICO MADRID WILL NOT SELL JOAO FELIX: THE MEETING WITH MENDES, BARÇA VIGILE, IS COMING. DEAD MARKET OPPORTUNITY: LOW CLAUSE TO GET FREE FROM ATLETICO MADRID, THE DETAILS. REAL MADRID WILL NOT ANNOUNCE MBAPPÉ BEFORE THE FINAL: HERE’S WHEN THE OFFICIALITY IS EXPECTED
Chris Coleman finds a team after his experience in Greece riding Atromitos Athens. The former Wales coach is the new coach of AEL Limassol, a Cypriot team that finished the last championship in ninth position.
Coleman, 53, began his career managing Fulham and then also managed Real Sociedad, Coventry, Sunderland and Hebei FC.
Already when he played for Atletico Madrid, Joao Felix was clear: his dream was to play for Barcelona. Thus, according to what Sport reports, his goal for next season is to stay in Catalonia. However, it is not yet known how many margins there are for a stay at the Blaugrana.
The Catalan newspaper writes that Jorge Mendes, the powerful agent of the Portuguese striker, wants to see clearly and in the next few days he will meet both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona to discuss the various options for the future. The Colchoneros – we read – do not intend to sell off a player paid the beauty of 127 million euros in 2019, therefore if no suitable offers arrive – from Barcelona or any other club – the former Benfica player will remain employed by Diego Simeone.
In the last season Alvaro Morata scored 15 goals in 32 appearances in LaLiga plus another 5 in 10 appearances in the Champions League and another in 5 appearances in the Copa del Rey. From a statistical point of view, the season of the striker born in ’92 was definitely positive. And this summer his name could make the market hotter.
Yes, because according to what Fabrizio Romano told, starting from this summer there is a very low clause in his contract to free himself: with 12 million euros any club could buy Morata, clearly convincing the latter to leave the team coached by Diego Simeone.
The Madrid-born center forward has been linked to Juventus again, but there are several clubs that are said to be interested in him. And now, in light of this insignificant clause, they have one more reason to think about it and snatch it from the Colchoneros.
Kylian Mbappé leaves Paris Saint-Germain as the best scorer in the club’s history, with 256 goals scored in 308 appearances, plus 95 assists for a total of 351 goal participations, one every 78 minutes. Mind-boggling numbers. And he also leaves with a trophy, the Coupe de France, won yesterday by beating Olympique Lyon in the final in Lille.
Now Real Madrid is in his future. But when will his purchase by Los Blancos be announced? As As writes, Florentino Perez’s club would like to do it in the first week of June. There will certainly be no announcement in the hours following the Champions League final, as some had hypothesized, also because the management wants this Sunday, June 2, to be dedicated to the possible celebration of the title. Just as they don’t want to announce Mbappé immediately after a possible defeat… It is therefore from June 3rd that we will finally have the official press release from the club from the Spanish capital.
Mbappé himself spoke on the topic yesterday, after the Coupe de France final: “There is a trophy to celebrate, I think there is a time for everything. I will announce my club in due time. I think I will do so in a few days. If it will arrive before the European Championship with France? I don’t know yet, there are still some details to iron out.”
