JUVENTUS, PRIORITY TO DEFENSE: ANTONIO SILVA IN POLE, LOAN IDEA WITH REDEMPTION IN JUNE. BETO AND DOUCOURE: ROME LOOKS AT EVERTON TO STRENGTHEN THEMSELVES IN THE WINTER MARKET. NEW RUMORS FROM ENGLAND: LIVERPOOL WANTS KVARATSKHELIA OR SANÉ FOR THEIR TRIDENT. BOLOGNA, EYES ON BULGARIA FOR THE FUTURE: THERE ARE TWO YOUNG DEFENDERS IN THE SIGHTS. MONZA, RENEWAL UNTIL JUNE 30, 2027 FOR LEONARDO COLOMBO
Priority to defense. The January transfer window is approaching and Juventus is studying the first moves to strengthen the team available to coach Thiago Motta. The many injuries, especially in the back department with Bremer and Cabal in the pits, will force Giuntoli to work to purchase elements that can cover these defections. We work tirelessly in the Continassa area to arrive in just over a month with clear ideas and be able to purchase without fail. The most popular name for the rearguard always seems to be the young man Antonio Silva of Benfica. Despite his young age, we are talking about 2003, the Portuguese central defender is a player who already has several seasons behind him as a starter for the Lisbon team. In the current season, however, he has made 11 appearances in the league and cups, scoring one goal and one assist. The young age of the boy, which does not affect his value on the pitch, may also lead the management to make some more reflections as the boy could take a few more months to adapt to a completely new football. The purchase hypothesis, reports today’s edition of Tuttosport, would be that of a loan with redemption in the summer.
The Guinea-Bissau striker, Beto, and the Mali midfielder, Abdoulaye DoucoureI’m in Roma’s sights. According to what was confirmed today in England by the BBC, the Giallorossi club is interested in strengthening its squad with these two Everton players during the winter transfer market session. Beto, who has shown good performance in the Premier League, is seen as a possible addition to Roma’s current attack, where coach Claudio Ranieri is looking for a quality alternative or reserve to the very starting Dovbyk. The former Udinese player showed good ability to score and great physicality, characteristics that could adapt well to the game of the Giallorossi team. Doucoure, a midfielder with considerable experience, also ended up under Massara’s observation. The Malian international, known for his solidity in midfield and his ability to recover the ball, would represent an important reinforcement in a sector that absolutely needs new faces. With the intention of strengthening the squad in January, Roma are carefully monitoring the situation of both Toffees players and could therefore soon start concrete negotiations to bring them to Trigoria in the next transfer windows. If the attacker has made 12 appearances so far this season with 4 goals and 1 assist, the midfielder has accumulated 13 appearances and 1 goal.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia attracted the attention of Liverpool (and beyond). The young Georgian talent, who stood out in Serie A with extraordinary performances but who today no longer finds the continuity of the Scudetto year, has ended up in the sights of several top-level clubs, with the Reds who seem particularly interested in even buy it by return post. In addition to Kvaratskhelia, Liverpool are also monitoring the situation of Bayern Munich’s 28-year-old German winger Leroy Sane. Sane, who already has a past in the Premier League at Manchester City, could be sold by the Bavarian club as early as January so as not to be forced to lose him on a free transfer in the summer, when his current contract expires.
In recent months, Bologna has looked at the Bulgarian market with particular interest, signing two young talents such as the winger born in 2006 Dimitar Papazov and the striker Dimitar Mrankov. Now, according to what was gathered by TMW, Giovanni Sartori and Marco Di Vaio are once again looking to Bulgaria to add quality and potential to the rossoblù youth sector. Specifically, there are two names in the notebooks of those responsible for the Bologna market: the first is that of Martin Dimitrov, central defender born in 2007 owned by CSKA. The other is Bozhidar Zhechev, another central defender born in 2008 owned by Cherno More.
AC Monza announces that it has extended the contract for the sporting services of Leonardo Columbus to 30 June 2027. Arriving in the summer of 2018, the midfielder born in 2005 has completed a splendid journey in the red and white youth sector. With the Primavera he made 97 appearances and scored 8 goals, playing a leading role in the Promotion in Primavera 1 and confirming himself in the following seasons.
LIVERPOOL, NEW CONTACTS WITH BAYER LEVERKUSEN FOR FRIMPONG: HE WOULD REPLACE ALEXANDER-ARNOLD. ALEXANDER ISAK AT THE CENTER OF THE MARKET: LONDON DERBY FOR THE NEWCASTLE ATTACKER
Liverpool are in contact with Bayer Leverkusen about a possible transfer of Dutch winger Jeremie Frimpong between the winter and summer. According to Caught Offside, the Premier League club is intent on strengthening its defensive options and Frimpongwho impressed everyone in the Bundesliga in the ranks of coach Xabi Alonso’s Aspirin, has emerged as a key target. The Dutchman attracted the attention of Mr. Slot and the management for his speed, his great technical ability and his constant offensive contribution from the wing. Having already shown his value in Germany, Frimpong could thus add further quality to the Liverpool team. Leverkusen, however, will require a very significant sum for their jewel, a factor that suggests a difficult negotiation between the parties. Liverpool’s interest in Frimpong reflects its ongoing search for a right-back to complement or potentially replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has played in a more central position this year. As negotiations progress, it remains to be seen whether Frimpong will move to Anfield in the near future, but his home club’s transfer plan at Anfield hints at his intention to build a team capable of competing again and again on multiple fronts.
Arsenal and Chelsea are both looking for a striker and the two London clubs have a similar list of targets, which includes Newcastle United’s Swedish striker, Alexander Isak. According to Caught Offside, both clubs are in fact strongly interested in the player born in 1999, who has proven to be a center forward of great talent and perspective. Isak, due to his physical ability and his innate ability to score, has become one of the main targets to strengthen the offensive department of the Gunners and Blues. Manchester United have also put the purchase of a striker for the January transfer window at the top of their priority list. The Mirror reports that the Red Devils are on the hunt for a new centre-forward who can bring greater depth and quality to new manager Ruben Amorim’s attack. The January transfer window therefore promises to once again be very competitive in England, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United ready to fight to secure one of the most sought-after strikers in the Premier League.
