The summary of all the transfer market news of the day that has just been archived.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
JUVENTUS, NOT JUST SESKO: WITH LEIPZIG THERE ARE TWO SPECIAL OBSERVATIONS. ROME, PISILLI IS THE MAN OF THE MOMENT: THE CLUB IS WORKING ON THE RENEWAL, WITH INCREASE, UNTIL 2029. UDINESE, HERE IS OUMAR SOLET. FIORENTINA, INFANTINO SENT ON LOAN TO HERNAN CRESPO’S AL-AIN.
According to what was reported by ‘Sportmediaset’, there are two Red Bull Leipzig players that Juventus transfer man Cristiano Giuntoli will monitor with particular attention. The first is the Slovenian center forward Benjamin Sesko: born in 2003, he is the first objective of the Juventus club for next summer should the agreement with Dusan Vlahovic not be reached in the meantime for the renewal of the contract expiring in 2026. Not only that: Juventus is also in the sights Lukeba CastleFrench defender born in 2002.
Roma is very active on the renewal front and, in addition to those of Renato Marin And Mile Svilarthe company is working to secure the little gem Niccolo Pisilli. According to what was reported in today’s edition of Tuttosport, the Giallorossi club has already started contacts with the agents Giorgio Ghirardi and Miriam Peruzzi for the extension of the contract until 30 June 2029 (the current agreement expires in 20 months) with a robust increase in engagement. There shouldn’t be any problems given that the player loves the club he grew up in and is willing to embrace the Giallorossi project. Juric’s arrival helped his definitive explosion, with several games as a starter and a lot of incisiveness added to the Giallorossi midfield. His official debut almost a year and a half ago, with his substitution at the end of the home championship match lost against Inter in May 2023. A minute plus injury time, too little time to really make himself known. If the first was short, the second was unforgettable for Pisilli: on 14 December he took over in the Europa League match against Sheriff, also finding the way to the goal in the spare time available to him.
Now it’s official Oumar Solet is a new player for Udinese. The Friulian club itself announced it with a post on its social profiles: “Welcome Oumar Solet”. The player arrives as a free agent and had arrived in Italy a few days ago to undergo medical examinations and sign his contract with the Juventus club.
Another farewell at Fiorentina. Gino Infantino, a midfielder who arrived last year but who never had space with either Vincenzo Italiano or Raffaele Palladino, has in fact gone on loan to Al-Ain until the end of the season. This was announced by the United Arab Emirates club, coached by Hernan Crespo, with the following statement: “As part of the efforts of the Al-Ain Football Company to strengthen the squad and in accordance with the requirements of the squad itself from a technical point of view , we announce the signing of the player Gino Infantino, player of the Argentine national team in the recent Under-20 World Cup, from Fiorentina, for a season on loan.”
BARCELONA IS TAKING JONATHAN DAVID, POSSIBLE 0 COST DEAL IN 2025. ANOTHER ADVENTURE IN THE ARAB EMIRATES FOR AGUDELO: HE IS A NEW PLAYER FOR AL WAHDA. FEDERICO MACHEDA RETURNS TO GREECE: THE ITALIAN ATTACKER STARTS FROM ASTERAS TRIPOLIS
Always on the lookout for cheap deals given their financial difficulties and the restrictions imposed by LaLiga financial fair play, Barcelona are already keeping an eye on some players who could be released on July 1st. This is why, according to information reported by the newspaper Sport, the Catalan is following Jonathan David’s situation with great attention. The 24-year-old Canadian striker is in the last year of his contract with Lille and could be a valuable piece in the summer of 2025. If he doesn’t reach an agreement with the French, Barça could make him sign a pre-contract as early as next January, without having to pay one euro into the coffers of Les Dogues. A real bargain on paper, given that the player is currently valued at 50 million euros and is liked by many teams, especially in Italy (Milan and Juventus above all). “Barça has information on the situation but for the moment does not want to go further,” writes Sport, specifying however that this deal would not be linked to the future of Robert Lewandowski, who has a contract until 2026. If the latter remained, Jonathan David he would be seen as a better alternative to Vitor Roque, who was loaned out to Real Betis. David has scored 91 goals in 194 games for Lille, where he has played since 2020 and last weekend he scored a hat-trick against Le Havre.
Kevin Agudelo chose Al Wahda to restart after his adventure at Al-Nasr. The attacking midfielder, with a past in Italy, where he wore the shirts of Genoa, Fiorentina and Spezia, remained in the United Arab Emirates, where he evidently feels at ease. Below is the full statement: “Midfielder Kevin Agudelo expressed his pride and happiness in joining Al Wahda for the 2024/2025 season, promising to do his best to be part of the team’s journey to success throughout the season. He also appreciated the trust and opportunity he received to represent the Maroons, extending his gratitude to the fans, as well as the administrative and coaching staff, for their warm welcome.”
Federico Macheda remained a free agent after relegation with Ankaragucu last season but is now ready to start a new adventure. The Italian striker, a former promising player in international football, returns to Greece and moves to Asteras Tripolis, a club now coached by Claude Makélelé. Macheda knows the Greek championship well: between 2018 and 2022 he wore the colors of Panathinaikos, scoring 30 goals in 83 games. The player who grew up in the youth sector of Lazio and then flew to Manchester in 2007, who was also an Italian Under-21 player (4 goals in 10 appearances), is therefore preparing to embrace the thirteenth team of his long and tormented career, which began in 2009 with his professional debut with the Red Devils. He also wore the shirts of Sampdoria, QPR, Stuttgart, Birmingham, Doncaster, Cardiff, Nottingham Forest, Novara and APOEL Nicosia.
