Juventus, battle with Napoli for Ugarte
According to TuttoJuve.com, as reported by Il Mattino, Manuel Ugarte, the Uruguayan midfielder born in 2001 who is set to leave Manchester United, remains a hot name for Juventus in the transfer market. Juventus are monitoring the player closely, but they will now have to deal with new competition in Serie A.
Napoli have also reportedly entered the race, attracted by the holding midfielder’s tactical versatility, as he can also adapt to a defensive role. The main issue remains the transfer fee, valued at around €30 million: it remains to be seen whether United will be open to lowering their demands to help the deal go through.
Milan, attacking overhaul: big names out, 2 targets in sight
According to Repubblica, as relayed by MilanNews.it, Milan are preparing a real attacking overhaul ahead of next season. After the struggles that also emerged against Sassuolo, the Rossoneri will not make Fullkrug’s move permanent and will also part ways with Nkunku, while Leao’s future remains highly uncertain, as he could leave if an important offer arrives.
Evaluations are also ongoing for Pulisic and Gimenez, while PSG’s Ramos and Fiorentina’s Kean are among the names liked to strengthen the attack. In defense, meanwhile, eyes are on Udinese’s Kristensen: the Dane costs around €25 million and is also liked by Aston Villa, with a summer departure looking increasingly likely.
Inter, move back for Leoni: Marotta’s plan
According to FC Inter 1908, after the title celebrations, Inter are already looking ahead to the transfer market and could return for Giovanni Leoni, the 2006-born defender they were already tracking last summer. The name fits into the strategy outlined by Marotta, focused on investing in young Italian players to integrate with more experienced ones.
As also reported by Daniele Mari, everything will depend on Liverpool’s willingness to negotiate, having bought him from Parma for around €30 million. Inter’s plan would be to bring him to Milan on loan with an option to buy, but the player’s wishes also remain to be understood.
Napoli, Meret heading for the exit: Premier League interest
According to Cronache di Napoli, Alex Meret is expected to leave the Azzurri this summer after falling down the pecking order behind Milinkovic-Savic. The goalkeeper, who played a key role in the club’s two Scudetto wins, has also been hampered by some physical problems that have limited his performances.
There is no shortage of suitors, however: Tottenham are said to have made a strong move for the Friulian goalkeeper, especially with Vicario potentially on his way out after attracting interest from Inter.
Roma, Barça interested in Ndicka: summer idea
According to Tuttomercatoweb and as explained by Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma will have to sell at least one big-name player to comply with Financial Fair Play restrictions. Among the players who could be sacrificed is Evan Ndicka, who arrived on a free transfer and is therefore ideal for generating a significant capital gain.
The Ivorian defender has ended up on Barcelona’s radar, with the club seeing him as a more affordable alternative to Bastoni. As Di Marzio underlines, this is a lead worth monitoring, with the Blaugrana ready to look to Serie A even as Atletico Madrid follow other Roma profiles.
Lazio, Motta global sensation: overtakes Yamal
According to TUTTOmercatoWEB and data from Transfermarkt, Edoardo Motta has become a true global media phenomenon. The Lazio goalkeeper, after his night in Bergamo with four penalties saved, was the second most searched player in the world in the month of April.
A surprising result that puts him ahead of names such as Lamine Yamal, who sits in fourth place, while Michael Olise is at the top. The breakout of the 2005-born player has put the international spotlight on him, turning him into one of the most closely followed profiles of the moment.
Fiorentina, Goretti on a mission: hunting for talent
According to FirenzeViola.it, Fiorentina are already making moves ahead of next season, with Roberto Goretti involved in several scouting missions abroad. The Viola executive, Fabio Paratici’s right-hand man, was spotted in Porto, but Portugal is only one stop on a broader tour across Europe.
The club has entered the stage of directly evaluating profiles after the work done by the scouts, with the aim of identifying young talents already ready for the international level as well. The idea is to build a squad that combines emerging prospects and experienced players, laying the foundations for the Fiorentina of the future.
