The summary of all the transfer market news of the day that has just been archived.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
ROME, GHISOLFI ON ZALEWSKI: “WE ARE TALKING, WE HOPE WE CAN RESOLV THE SITUATION”. TURIN, CITY AND MILAN LIKE RICCI: CAIRO ASKS FOR 40 MILLION EUROS AND WANTS TO SECURE HIM
ROME
Florent Ghisoldi, Roma’s sporting director, gave an interview to Sky Sport, talking about Nicola Zalewski, an out-of-contract winger who the Giallorossi had put on the market in the summer and recently reinstated in the squad: “We are having a dialogue, everyone appreciates him and we hope the contractual situation can be resolved so that he can return and make his contribution.”
TURIN
Rumors of Manchester City’s interest in Samuele Ricci are spreading in England. Pep Guardiola even seems to be in love with the Italian, but he is not the only one because the former Empoli player is starting to have more and more admirers, starting with Paulo Fonseca’s Milan: the Rossoneri had already tried in the past, but the attempt had failed , now with the Portuguese we need more quality in the middle of the pitch and the grenade’s profile is also gaining the preferences of the coach himself. Anyone who shows up at the door of the club in via Viotti, however, will have to deal with the requests of the president Urbano Cairo. A year ago he was asking for no less than 25 million, now the price has already broken through 30 and is slowly approaching 40. This is why the Granata management is also starting to move to secure the boy, who has a contract until 2026 with a salary below one million euros: a way to have more power in the negotiation phase, avoiding the risk of having to sell him off during the next summer transfer market session. The Ricci situation, therefore, must be kept under observation on both fronts, that of the extension and that of the possible transfer at monstrous figures.
LEVERKUSEN, ALL CRAZY ABOUT WIRTZ: AS WELL AS BAYERN THERE ARE CITY, REAL AND ARSENAL. DORTMUND, RYERSON HAS RENEWED UNTIL 2028. ZUBIMENDI REFUSED LIVERPOOL IN THE SUMMER: “OF COURSE I DON’T REGRET IT”. MAGUIRE EXPIRES WITH MANCHESTER UNITED, THE CLUB HAS AN OPTION TO RENEW HIS CONTRACT. NEW ADVENTURE FOR GABRIEL TORJE: HE STARTS AGAIN FROM MUSCELUL CAMPULUNG IN THE ROMANIAN SERIE B. SALAH’S LAST YEAR IN ANFIELD? PSG IS THINKING ABOUT IT, THE REDS ARE TAKING ADEYEMI TO REPLACE HIM
Florian Wirtz mania has begun. The German attacking midfielder born in 2003 from Leverkusen had already attracted the attention of elite teams, including Bayern Munich. Although Werkself want to keep him – Sport BILD reveals -, they are already preparing for a possible departure and are probing the market to find someone willing to shell out at least 150 million euros: a shock figure which however fully enhances Wirtz’s boundless growth margins . Bayern have long made clear their desire to sign him, but a tussle is underway. In fact, there are 3 other top clubs in the queue who could hinder the Bavarians: Real Madrid, Manchester City and Arsenal.
After a few years, Borussia Dortmund has finally found the worthy heir of Lukasz Piszczek. Julian Ryerson, who arrived in January 2023 from Union Berlin, has quickly become a point of reference for the yellow and blacks and has deserved the renewal of his contract. The Norwegian, born in 1997, has signed until 30 June 2028.
In the summer Martín Zubimendi had a serious opportunity to join the Premier League, but in the end the Real Sociedad and Spain midfielder spontaneously decided to reject the advances and the offer to play for Liverpool: “Of course I don’t regret it, I can’t think like that after four or five games at the start of the season. I made my decision from within, I thought it was the best thing to do, the results don’t influence me. I see potential in this team, just watch us train I’m looking forward to having a good season”, the words taken from ESPN.
From next February, at least on paper, Harry Maguire will be free to agree with any other club and then leave Manchester United on a free transfer in the summer. The agreement will expire in June 2025, but the last word has not yet been said, since the Red Devils still have an option for the extension and could activate it in the next few years.
Nicknamed “the Romanian Messi” due to his height and dribbling since his debut with FCU Politehnica Timişoara, when he was only 16 years old, Gabriel Torje was one of the many promising footballers who failed to live up to expectations and they are crushed by the weight of the pressure, despite 57 appearances (and 12 goals) for the national team. The footballer has begun a new stage in his career: he has signed with Muscelul Câmpulung, a Romanian second division team, until 30 June 2025, with the option for another season in case of salvation.
In the final year of his contract at Liverpool, Mohamed Salah is expected to leave the shores of the Mersey next summer on a free transfer. In fact, there is no talk of renewal. And the Egyptian’s latest statements also go in this direction. According to what was reported by the Sun, there could be another big player in Salah’s future. Paris Saint-Germain, in fact, would still be vigilant on this issue, convinced that the Egyptian can still play at the highest levels of European football. Next summer, therefore, the long era of the former Roma and Fiorentina at Anfield could end and so the Reds will be called upon to replace him. And Adeyemi’s profile seems to be the perfect one, in terms of identity card and technical characteristics. Borussia Dortmund, however, is calm because the former Salzburg player is tied by a contract until 2027 and is ready to shoot high: the financial request is over 50 million euros.
