The summary of all the transfer market news of the day that has just been archived.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, BACCIN ON MISSION TO SOUTH AMERICA: EYE ON A NEW TALENT? DUEL WITH UNITED FOR MERET, JOSEP MARTINEZ’S AGENT OUTLINES THEIR FUTURE. MILAN, ALL ABOUT A MIDFIELDER: HE CAN ARRIVE IN THE NEXT MARKET SESSION. JUVENTUS, DANILO WILL NOT SAY GOODBYE IN JANUARY. EYE ON ANTONIO SILVA FOR THE WINTER MARKET. ATTACK, ZIRKZEE COMPLICATED DEAL. A GEORGIAN ATTACKER IS BACK IN FASHION. NAPOLI ALSO WORKS THE JANUARY MARKET: TWO NAMES NOTED. ROME, RASPADORI CHANCE? IT IS ON THE EDGES OF ANTONIO CONTE’S NAPLES.
Dario Baccin flew to South America to identify new talents for Inter. The right-hand man of sporting director Piero Ausilio It was thanks to a trip to the new continent last year that interest began in Tomas Palacios, a left-footed centre-back born in 2003 who was then purchased by Independent Rivadavia last summer for 6.5 million euros. Palacios has collected very few minutes up to this point, but as was the case last season for Bisseck the objective is to make him grow at Appiano Gentile in the shadow of the starters and then throw him into the fray.
Meret an idea for the door? The indiscretion, proposed by Germany, arises from the absence of the renewal of the Italian goalkeeper with Napoli, although the negotiations for the negotiation have continued for months. Without a new agreement the player could leave at zero, which is why Inter and Manchester United would be on his trail.
Josep Martinez’s agent, Sergio Barila, also spoke, saying this about his client given the limited playing time he has had in the Nerazzurri shirt this season: “He feels good on a personal level. He’s in one of the biggest clubs in Europe and he has a good opportunity to continue to grow as a player. Like all players, he is happier when he plays. It’s normal, as for everyone, but he has a high-level teammate who is playing as a starter. And you have to respect the decisions of the coach. Is it normal? that the clubs want to know the player’s situation. He is a good goalkeeper and some clubs need goalkeepers and want to know his thoughts. But the decision to go to Inter has been analyzed and at the moment his thoughts are only on the future. Inter”.
Morten Frendrup and Reda Belahyane are the two strong names at Milan to strengthen the midfield. To get your hands on the first one, from Genoa, you need at least 20 million euros, as the Ligurian club has already made known. As for the Moroccan midfielder from Hellas Verona, he has opened up to his departure in the next few months, but he will not say goodbye unless there are suitable and certainly higher offers than the previous player named.
Juventus, what are you doing on the transfer market? At least one defender will have to arrive in January and Danilo will not leave. Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus director, turns decisively on Antonio Silva: the 21-year-old Portuguese player who ended up on the bench in Benfica in the last period. With Jorge Mendes we are working on the possibility of snatching the player away on a costly loan.
The Bianconeri already had their eyes on Joshua Zirkzee in the summer and are now back on his trail for a move (on loan) in January. Unfortunately, however, with the arrival of Amorim at Manchester United, the Dutch center forward is once again a protagonist with the Red Devils and a farewell in the winter seems infeasible, for this reason the Juventus management has returned to analyzing plan B: Georges Mikautadze. Born in 2000, Georgian striker, owned by Lyon, given the economic and results difficulties of the French club, he could say goodbye just six months after his arrival and an investment of 18.5 million euros from OL.
Despite first place in the standings and a successful summer transfer market, Antonio Conte doesn’t want to stop here. He would like further reinforcements in January to fill out the rearguard, which is why sporting director Manna has pinned down two names above all: Sam Beukema, one of Bologna’s best at the start of this year, and Marcos Senesi, currently playing at Bournemouth and on the list for some time now.
Giacomo Raspadori has indirectly proposed himself to Roma in recent days. Despite the closure communicated by Napoli regarding his farewell in January, the attacker born in 2000 still hopes for a solution and the Giallorossi, unlike Juventus, could represent a solution because given the disastrous start of the season they are not currently a competitor of the Neapolitans. Another name that has been circulating in recent days to strengthen Roma’s attack in January is that of Everton’s Beto.
SALAH AWAY FROM LIVERPOOL? ALSO OPENS TO ONE YEAR RENEWAL. SKRINIAR AWAY, PSG IS THINKING ABOUT ARAUJO FROM BENFICA. EARTHQUAKE IN NANTES, KOUMARE’ CAN JUMP, SERGIO CONCEICAO’S NAME CHECKS OUT FOR THE BENCH. RISSER AWAY FROM STRASBOURG, EXPERIENCE IN LIGUUE 2. MARKET RUMOR THAT MAKES HAIR STAND UP: LEIPZIG WOULD BE THINKING ABOUT TEN HAG AS ROSE’S SUBSTITUTE.
Liverpool’s love affair with Mohamed Salah could end in June. The contract, which expires in June, opens up the worst possible scenario for the English club, which however turned a deaf ear and did not present any renewal proposals. The Egyptian was disappointed by the Reds’ management, but the £350,000 salary certainly weighs on Liverpool’s coffers. The former Fiorentina player, however, would also be willing to stay at Anfield – very close to the fans – but the distance between the parties is still there.
Paris Saint-Germain has a great target and it is Tomas Araujo, central defender of Benfica and now a cornerstone of the Lisbon team despite his young age. Born in 2002, the transalpine club had already tried to sign him in the summer and could try again in January (given Skriniar’s probable departure), but there could be an inconvenience. According to the latest from Portugal, Araujo would in fact be close to extending his contract with the Portuguese club, despite having already recently renewed it until 2028. He should therefore further extend the agreement until 2029 and receive a substantial salary increase.
Nantes must recover. The 11 points won in the championship are not enough, which is why Antoine Kombouaré’s place on the bench is very shaky. The French club is carrying out under-the-radar assessments to identify the right replacement and among the names that have emerged in the last few hours, that of Sergio Conceição, former Porto coach, close to Marseille in the summer, would have taken center stage. Released after 7 years of love affair with the Dragoes, he knows the French club very well and landing in Ligue 1 cannot be ruled out.
Change of team before the start of the winter transfer market for Robin Risser Birckel: the young French goalkeeper leaves Strasbourg and moves on loan to Red Star, a club currently second to last in Ligue 2, until the end of the season. Risser, 20, had already spent last season on loan at Dijon. A product of the Alsatian club’s youth sector, he has not yet made his first team debut.
Leipzig is going through a turbulent moment, between negative results and the dismissal of managers elsewhere. In the meantime, Marco Rose’s bench is hot and the German club is apparently thinking of a former Premier League coach to start from scratch: this is Erik Ten Hag, sacked by Manchester United, who could return to coaching soon. But first Rose will be given one last chance in the match against Eintracht Frankfurt.
