The summary of all the transfer market news of the day that has just been archived.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, THE NEW CASTING STARTS: FONSECA AND DE ZERBI ON POLE, THERE ARE SIX CANDIDATES. JUVENTUS, RABIOT’S RENEWAL IS ON STANDBY, BAYERN IS THERE. NAPLES IN PRESSING ON BUONGIORNO. LAZIO, PROPERTY INTRIGUED BY THE MLS BUT DOES NOT EXCLUDE STAY. ATALANTA, GASPERINI TOWARDS RENEWAL UNTIL 2026. ROME, SVILAR NOW AIMS FOR RENEWAL
Julen Lopetegui fades, unless there are new twists, and at home Milan the casting for the coach starts again. The last few hours have brought a sudden halt in the negotiations with the Spanish coach, dictated above all by the possibility of a real protest from the fans. Except for yet another about-turn on the former Sevilla and Real Madrid, the Rossoneri management is once again leafing through the daisy chain with the names of Pioli’s potential successors.
There are three favorites. He’ll take care of making the starting grid La Gazzetta dello Sport. He is in pole position now Paulo Fonseca, who may be freed from Lille at the end of the season and has been considered a valid alternative to Lopetegui from the start. Prices are rising Roberto De Zerbi, the name that tickles the Rossoneri fans most of all but is also the most complicated to reach for economic reasons: the contract with Brighton in fact includes a termination clause of 15 million euros. Finally there is Mark Van Bommelwho won a championship at Milan as Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s teammate, today leads Antwerp and remains a credible candidate.
The “other” three. To date, the names under consideration of Cardinale and his management, with whom there have already been at least exploratory contacts, are a total of six. To the three favorites mentioned above, three more would be added, let’s call them underdog. Two work in the Middle East: it’s about Christophe Galtieralready compared in the past to DevilAnd Marcelo Gallardo. Nor has the candidacy of waned Domenico Tedescocurrent coach of Belgium.
Forty-five days and then Adrien Rabiot he will be free to join another club. Unless the contract is renewed, which, however, is still to be defined. The future of the midfielder Juventusclose to the expiry of the annual agreement signed at the end of last season, is still to be deciphered and a question mark remains on the Old lady What will be.
Meeting with Giuntoli. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sportbefore the match against Milan played last Saturday, the Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli met mum Veronica, who has always looked after the interests of the French midfielder. Juve has not yet presented a real offer for the extension and expects the player to take the first step. The current salary – around 7.5 million euros per season – is considered unsustainable over multiple seasons and at the same time Rabiot, who last year was the first to want a bridge contract, would hardly be satisfied with a new short deal.
Thus, at Juve the negotiations will only start when Adrien formally opens up to a future together. At present, everything is on standby. At the window, several clubs: in addition to the usual and generic interests from the Premier League, there would also be the Bayern Monaco.
The Milanfor several months now, has been on the trail of Alexander Good morning, vice-captain of Torino who last summer was one step away from transferring to Atalanta before opting to stay in the grenade. Now, in addition to the interests from England, also the Naples seems to have raised the pressure for the class of ’99 in view of the summer. While waiting to understand who the next coach will be, whether it’s a 3-man defense or a 4-man defence, Buongiorno seems to be a good name just in case. Second Radio Kiss Kiss Naples the blue club would be ready to sink the blow by putting an important proposal on the plate of the grenade president Urbano Cairo: specifically, the broadcaster talks about an offer of 25 million euros in cash plus the signing of Leo Ostigard as a partial technical compensation.
The Corriere dello Sport takes stock of the future of Ciro Immobile, starting from today’s possible conversation with Igor Tudor after the only 7 minutes of play given by the Croatian coach to the attacker in the last match against Hellas (and after the bench in the Italian Cup against Juventus). The player has not yet made a decision regarding his future, explains the newspaper, also because no real offers have yet arrived. The starting point is that Immobile would only consider serious offers and to play at a high level: nothing has arrived from Saudi Arabia after the interest in recent market sessions. Just as there has not yet been a proposal from Major League Soccer, a league that could intrigue the player especially if a proposal from New York were to materialize. In the background, the never-faded hypothesis of a stay at Lazio, with the idea of honoring the contract and thus ending his career with the Biancoceleste: Immobile has a contract worth 4.2 million euros net per year until 2026. Much in this sense, however, will also depend on Tudor’s thoughts for the present and above all for the future. However, the current weeks are hot in this sense, awaiting the end of an unfortunate season from a personal and team point of view.
Ten years of Gian Piero Gasperiniwhose trophy with theAtalanta it is the exploit of the Orobic club, on the pitch and on the market. Waiting for a “real” cup in the physical sense, with the Goddess in the semi-finals of the Europa League and in the final of the Italian Cup. Ten years of Gasperini: this is the goal of Percassi, who in 2016 opted for the coach from Grugliasco and did not regret it. Towards renewal. The current agreement between the coach and the Bergamo players, however, expires in 2025. A new agreement would be needed to reach 2026 and this is what he writes La Gazzetta dello Sport, which the company would be working on. Regardless of the possible qualification for the next Champions League. At the end of the season there will be the classic comparison between coach and management, as happens every year and as happens almost everywhere. The tones will obviously not be harsh, on the contrary: the objective will be to plan the future. And perhaps permanently remove the temptations – from Napoli to the Premier League, passing through Villas-Boas’ Porto – by putting another yes on paper. The extension, to date, is not a given but probable. First, it is superfluous, we move on to the end-of-season objectives: there are many and Gasp would like to achieve them all.
The excellent performance of Mile Svilar, mainly since the arrival of Daniele De Rossi onwards, are bringing important points to Roma in this final season. Even in the last match against Napoli, the 1999 class was among the best on the pitch and his performance, writes today the Corriere dello Sportcould soon also be recognized on a contractual level. For the newspaper, in fact, the goalkeeper is just waiting for a call from Roma to put pen to paper on an extension with salary adjustment: at the moment Svilar is among the lowest paid in the Giallorossi squad, with one salary of around 800 thousand euros per year until June 2027. However, his performances are attracting the attention of other clubs and this is also why Roma have every intention of securing him further.
ARSENAL, A NEW CONTRACT IS READY FOR JORGINHO. BENFICA, DI MARIA COULD RETURN TO ARGENTINA: HE FINISHED IN THE SIGHTS OF THE RIVER PLATE. JEAN CLAUDE BLANC IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MANCHESTER UNITED. THE EX JUVE WILL BE UNTIL JULY

The existing agreement however, as reported by The Athleticwill expire in June with the club having an option for another year.
Angel Di Maria could come back in Argentina. After the insistent rumors about his possible arrival at Rosario Central where he grew up, Fideo ended up in the crosshairs of River Plate. The former Juventus player has scored 13 goals and provided 12 assists this season, a tally that has not left the Millonarios indifferent. In Portugal he was criticized a lot after his penalty miss in the Europa League quarter-finals against Marseille and this is one of the reasons that led him to be even more convinced than he was about leaving Benfica.
The wife, Jorgelina Cardosowas “forced” to intervene like this Instagram: “Today you lost, as often happens in life, but I applaud you for the strength you always have to move forward. A week ago, the same people who applauded your goal criticize you today. Without this goal there wouldn’t be any today It was a penalty shootout. Continue doing what you love without anything or anyone darkening your light. You’ve already lived this story, you know how to react.”
