On the day abehind-the-scenes story involving Gonzalo Higuain and Serie B emerged, news about Serie A teams is becoming increasingly important from a transfer market perspective.
Let’s take a look at today’s updates on Italy’s top clubs.
Juventus, contacts for Igor Thiago
As reported by Matteo Moretto — in addition to theirinterest in Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Garcia — Juventus have made an inquiry for Igor Thiago, the Brazilian striker who has been one of Brentford’s breakout players.
The cost of the deal, however, is prohibitive: €60/70 million, figures that are almost unreachable for Serie A.
Milan, impossible price tag for Igor Thiago
Along with Juventus, Milan have also made an inquiry for Brentford’s Igor Thiago: this is according to Matteo Moretto, who confirms reports from Brazilian sources.
However, the asking price is €60/70 million, a fee currently out of Milan’s reach, also given the presence of Nkunku and Gimenez in attack.
Inter, Stankovic will be signed permanently but has a market
As Matteo Moretto said on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, Inter will sign Stankovic permanently for €23 million, but only €13 million will be entered into the books given the structure of the deal.
His future is still unclear because the 2005-born player has attracted interest from some major European clubs. Offers for him this summer cannot be ruled out.
Napoli, Juan Jesus will leave but the replacement…
Napoli will let Juan Jesus leave on a free transfer this summer: this was reported by Matteo Moretto on YouTube.
A possible replacement could be Rafa Marin, who will return from his loan spell at Villarreal. However, technical evaluations will need to be made on him and those will inevitably depend on the head coach in charge.
Roma, Sogliano moving further away as sporting director
According to TMW, Sean Sogliano’s candidacy to become Roma’s new sporting director is becoming increasingly difficult.
The Hellas Verona executive would like to stay with the Gialloblu, who are working on extending his contract until 2029.
Lazio, reaching the Europa League does not “cover” Maldini
As Corriere dello Sport writes, Lazio winning the Coppa Italia would automatically trigger the permanent signing of Daniel Maldini: €14 million to be paid to Atalanta.
Qualification for the Europa League guarantees €4.3 million in bonuses, while winning the Coppa Italia is worth €4.4 million: a total of €8.7 million. Still less than the €14 million needed to sign Maldini permanently.
Fiorentina, who returns against Roma and doubts over Piccoli
FirenzeViola provides an update on Fiorentina’s injury situation: Gosens and Parisi should be back available against Roma, while Fortini is out.
Balbo and Piccoli are doubts: the striker is trying to recover from an adductor problem, while the full-back’s condition still needs to be assessed.
