Lukaku and more. The transfer market axis between London, Chelsea side, and the Rossoneri side of Milan is heating up. In addition to the Belgian centre-forward, the Rossoneri are aiming for Chalobah for the defence and Chukwuemeka for the midfield, so as to immediately gift three top-tier signings to Fonseca.
Juventus – For Thuram we are now at the details and this could be the decisive week. Khephren is ready to challenge his brother Marcus, following in the black and white footsteps of his father Lilian. For the post-Chiesa, the name of Jason Sancho, already sought last winter, resurfaces. The Englishman – after the loan at Borussia – has returned to Manchester, but his desire is not to remain at the court of Ten Hag.
Italy – After the sensational Italian debacle at Euro24, we are moving towards early elections for the next FIGC president, which could be moved from March 2025 to November 4th. Intently, outgoing president Gabriele Gravina, disappointed by the criticism, is considering not running again.
Europeans – Jan Oblak’s Slovenia surrendered only on penalties against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, in tears at the end of the first half of extra time after missing a penalty shortly before. A super Diogo Costa was providential for the Portuguese, who first stepped on a Sesko shot and then neutralized three penalties out of three. Now for Portugal it will be France, who eliminated Belgium in the afternoon, with Vertonghen bringing the competition’s own goal tally to nine.
