The summary of all the transfer market news of the day that has just been archived.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.
MILAN, FONSECA HAS NOT MOVED ANY PARTICULAR VETOS. NOT EVEN LEAO’S PERMANENCE. LAZIO, KAMADA IS EVER CLOSER TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE. 5 MILLION ANNUAL CONTRACT. NAPLES, THERE’S A BACKFIRE FOR PEREZ IN THE DEFENSE: AND IN ATTACK THERE IS THE LUCCA HYPOTHESIS. NAPLES, LUKAKU IS ALWAYS THE NUMBER ONE SUSPECT FOR THE ATTACK: GUIRASSY THE ALTERNATIVE. ROME, DE ROSSI’S RENEWAL ON RETURN FROM AUSTRALIA: THREE-YEAR PERIOD AND STEP BY STEP OBJECTIVES. OFFICIAL – HELLAS VERONA, TCHATCHOUA REDEEMED. IN CHARLEROI ABOUT 2 MILLION EUROS. TURIN, REVOLVING DOORS: ARAB SIRENS FOR MILINKOVIC-SAVIC, JORONENE FROM VENEZIA LIKES. INTER, THE ELECTION OF THE NEW PRESIDENT ON TUESDAY: CORRIDOR RUMORS REVEAL OF AN ITALIAN
Paulo Fonseca has not placed any particular vetoes on the Milan management, not even on the transfer front. So if offers arrive for the big names, they will all be listened to, from Maignan to Theo Hernandez: for both there is a contract expiring in 2026 and requests from the top, much higher than what they perceive at the moment at the Rossoneri. Bayern like them, but it will all depend on the offers that may arrive in a few weeks’ time. The goalkeeper is valued at around 70 million – and earns 2.8, demand around 8 – as is the full-back, floating on five million wages and the demand is still almost double.
However, Fonseca didn’t even ask for Rafael Leao to stay. The winger renewed his contract a year ago and has said several times that he is happy at Milan, but if an offer were to arrive it will be taken into consideration. Both because the valuation is very high – difficult to reach the clause of 175 million – and because he has a decent salary of 6.5 million per season which, however, can easily be improved in the best clubs in Europe. In short, we’ll see, but the news is that Fonseca, in this case, wouldn’t raise too many objections.
Also because the external battery is still of high quality, between Pulisic and Chukwueze, but also Okafor who could be used in case of need.
Daichi Kamada is one step away from saying goodbye to Lazio. Because the Japanese decided not to exercise the three-year option to continue with the Biancoceleste club, preferring a new adventure in another championship. It could be the Premier League, given that – as our colleagues at Tuttosport explain – Crystal Palace has an agreement in principle for Kamada for a three-year deal at 5 million euros.
A situation that has already irritated Tudor, considering that he thought he would restart Lazio from the Japanese.
The re-foundation in Naples is ready to start. After winning the title of Italian champion last season, the Neapolitan team disappointed expectations by finishing the championship in tenth place and therefore out of European competitions. Via Francesco Calzona, who would have been just a ferryman, and forward to the new coach who should be Antonio Conte. Meanwhile, the club is starting to work on building the team that will come with various additions that should arrive from the summer transfer market.
Return of flame for Perez An old interest could be rekindled in defence. According to today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport, the Azzurri could return to Udinese’s Nehuen Perez. A glimmer of hope had already opened in the January transfer market but in the end the negotiation did not take off. So the Friulian central defender could be back in fashion for the summer.
Good relations between the presidents The two number ones Aurelio De Laurentiis and Gino Pozzo have a relationship of mutual respect, we always read in the newspaper, and in recent days they would have met in Formentera to reopen the chapter that only five months ago seemed to be closed. There could also be the possibility on the table for Lorenzo Lucca who Udinese will buy from Pisa.
Napoli is ready to change a lot in attack. Next season will be very important for the Neapolitan club which is looking for redemption after a disappointing championship which ended in tenth place. Lots of outgoing and incoming movements. With the departures of Osimhen and Simeone, president Aurelio De Laurentiis’s Azzurri could insert quality pieces onto Antonio Conte’s board. Given that Lorenzo Lucca is a player of interest, his eyes would focus on something from the Salento coach.
Lukaku idea According to today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport, the Azzurri are monitoring the name of Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker will return to Chelsea after a season spent in Rome where he scored 21 goals in 47 games played. The player is tied by a contract until 2025 with the Blues and by a clause worth around 44 million euros (37.5 million pounds) but 20-25 million could most likely be enough.
The alternatives However, there should be several names in the notebook. The first is Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart. The striker has a clause of 17.5 million euros but has high salary demands. The other names are Jorgen Strand Larsen of Celta Vigo and Nicolò Cambiaghi owned by Atalanta.
Roma restarts from Daniele De Rossi. It’s nothing new. The Giallorossi coach has changed the team since his arrival, leading the chase in the championship with a sixth place finish, one step away from qualifying for the Champions League, and reaching the semi-final of the Europa League. We said his stay was a given but the club is working to sign a new contract with the former 2006 world champion midfielder.
The details Everything will be sorted out upon returning from the tour in Australia, when there will then be the definitive break ranks before thinking about the summer negotiation window. As reported in today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport, everything is ready. De Rossi will join his favorite club on a three-year contract worth 2.5 million euros per season. The goal is to proceed step by step, grow over the years and at least return to play in the next Champions League.
Then the transfer market. Once De Rossi’s situation has been resolved, with Ghisolfi also signing until 2027, we will think about the summer negotiation window. The coach obviously expects new additions to better face next season. In fact, De Rossi will be involved in the decisions. He will not have an English-style managerial role, we read, but he will certainly have a say in the choices.
Hellas Verona have signed Jackson Tchatchoua from Charleroi. Two million euros that the Veronese will pay into the Belgian club’s classes.
Here is the official press release. “Hellas Verona FC announces that it has bought the Belgian defender Jackson Tchatchoua permanently from the Royal Charleroi Sporting Club. The player will remain with the yellow-blue club until 30 June 2027. He arrived in Verona in the last days of the summer transfer market, the 2001 class was the protagonist in the ride that led to salvation, contributing to the achievement of the objective by taking to the field on 26 occasions, starting on 19. Furthermore, in total, the yellow-blue defender collected 1,725 minutes of play. Hellas Verona FC wishes Jackson good luck for the continuation of his yellow-blue career.”
New reinforcements for the Torino goal in sight? The Granata team will change a lot on the market in view of next season. The objective of President Cairo’s club is to build a team that can follow what Ivan Juric has done and, who knows, try to appear in a position that guarantees participation in the next European cups. The road is very difficult but we are working hard in the Philadelphia area to put together the squad. In all likelihood we will start from the role of goalkeeper.
Joronen likes goalkeeping The first piece will be that of the coach with Paolo Vanoli who should be one step away. The coach who is now fighting with Venezia for promotion to Serie A could also bring the goalkeeper. According to today’s edition of Tuttosport, the main suspect is Jesse Joronen.
The other goalkeepers The question that arises, however, is what will be the fate of the goalkeepers under contract. As regards Gemello, his contract will expire while for Mihai Popa there could be offers from Romania. The doors of Saudi Arabia could open for Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, where his brother Sergej already plays, with Vagnati who could ask for a figure between 7 and 8 million euros.
Go-go declared in Viale della Liberazione in Milan for the beginning of June. The Board of Directors will meet on Tuesday to elect the new Board of Directors and the president of Inter. Rumors – reveals Sky Sport – say that the chosen one may be an Italian, but the precise identity still remains a mystery. After that, the renewal of Mr. Simone Inzaghi will be addressed, already touched upon – albeit marginally – in the first meeting in which he met the owners and first he thought about setting the stakes for next season, with the team’s needs for the resumption of training and the start of next season.
We will get to the heart of the negotiations in terms of the salary figures for the Piacenza coach, to adapt the new contract, but there will be no problems. The renewal of Nicolò Barella, like that of Inzaghi and Lautaro (now on the verge of closure) are pieces that will soon be fitted together.
CHELSEA, EXERCISED THE OPTION TO RENEW HUTCHINSON UNTIL 2026. NOW THE NEW LOAN. BURNLEY, MANAGEMENT WORKING TO FIND KOMPANY’S HEIR: FRANK LAMPARD LIKES. OFFICIAL – ANKARAGUCU REMOTED, EMRE BELOZOGLU IS NO LONGER THE MANAGER. OFFICIAL – FENERBAHCE ANNOUNCES KARTAL’S FAREWELL. EVERYTHING READY FOR MOURINHO’S LANDING
Omari Hutchinson, an attacking winger born in 2003, spent last season at Ipswich Town, who achieved promotion to the Premier League after 22 years. Chelsea believes a lot in the Anglo-Jamaican boy and for this reason they have exercised the renewal option until 2026.
Hutchinson, however, should not remain at the court of Enzo Maresca, who will be the new coach of the Blues: in all likelihood he will be welcomed by the Ajax of another Italian, Francesco Farioli.
After relegation to the Championship, Burnley lost their manager. Vincent Kompany was in fact hired – somewhat surprisingly – by Bayern Munich and now the English club will have to plan the new season with a new manager.
President Alan Pace has already contacted several coaches but the name that seems to be in the lead is that of Frank Lampard: according to The Telegraph, the former Chelsea player has already given the OK and is ready to get back into the game on the bench of one of the teams favorites for promotion to the Premier League.
Emre Belozoglu’s adventure as coach of Ankaragucu has sadly ended. The former Inter and Galatasaray midfielder was unable to save the Turkish club from relegation, which reached the last day.
Thus, the paths diverge: Emre arrived in October and in 34 games he had a very negative balance sheet, with only 7 victories achieved compared to 13 draws and 14 defeats.
Ismail Kartal is no longer the manager of Fenerbahce. The Turkish club announced it through its official channels; The third stage of the 61-year-old Istanbul coach at the helm of one of the city’s three historic clubs thus ends.
Now everything is “set” for José Mourinho’s arrival on the bench: the negotiations are at a good stage, we are just waiting for the white smoke.
