There is room for international football, but there is no shortage of news involving Italian teams, busy between the pitch and the transfer market ahead of the final fixtures of the season and the summer window.
Juve, Pavlidis among the options for the attack
The striker market looks set to be lively, and one of the rising names is Vangelis Pavlidis, who has starred for Benfica. Signed in 2024 from AZ for €18 million, the Greek forward has seen his value soar to €35-40 million thanks to a goal-filled season.
According to TMW, the player is ready to make the definitive step up to a more competitive league and, in addition to the Premier League (currently the frontrunner), Juventus are also monitoring him closely.
The Bianconeri are in fact looking for a new starting centre-forward for next season: much will depend on Vlahovic’s situation and the club’s transfer decisions, but Pavlidis represents a profile who is already ready and still has room to grow.
Milan, Lukaku offers himself
The most surprising name is Romelu Lukaku, who according to Tuttosport has offered himself to Milan after his break with Napoli. The idea intrigues Massimiliano Allegri, who has always been an admirer of physical, dominant strikers.
However, MilanNews is cooling the excitement: his recent fitness issues and, above all, his very high wages make the operation complicated. For now, it is more a suggestion than a concrete negotiation, but Milan are evaluating several profiles to rebuild the attack, and Lukaku remains a name to keep in the background.
Inter, transfer derby for Koné?
Sassuolo midfielder Ismael Kone continues to earn praise after a very solid season.
According to Matteo Moretto, Inter are also monitoring him. He is not the first choice, but he represents a concrete alternative should other tracks fail to lead anywhere.
Milan remain the club most interested, but precisely for that reason a real transfer duel could emerge between the two Milan sides.
Napoli, Juanlu back in their sights
To strengthen the right flank, Napoli have turned back to Sevilla’s Juanlu Sanchez.
According to the Corriere del Mezzogiorno, the 2002-born player is considered an ideal profile as an alternative to Giovanni Di Lorenzo: young, dynamic, and with good room for growth.
The deal is still at an early stage, but the interest is concrete and could develop quickly over the coming months.
Roma, Israel Reyes on the radar
Roma are also looking beyond Europe and are following Mexican defender Israel Reyes.
According to TUDN, the player is already in Italy and could meet with the Giallorossi management. Dutch and Portuguese clubs are also interested in him, a sign that the competition is already active.
His move to Europe seems imminent after the World Cup in any case, and Roma want to be ready.
Lazio, more tickets at the Olimpico for the final?
The atmosphere is red-hot among Lazio fans ahead of the Coppa Italia final.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, the roughly 25,000 tickets initially available were almost sold out in a very short time. However, there are still several seats left in the sections reserved for Inter.
If they remain unsold, some of them could be reallocated, further increasing Lazio’s presence in the stadium.
Fiorentina, Fortini renewal stalled
Fiorentina must resolve the issue regarding the renewal of Niccolò Fortini, born in 2006 and targeted by Roma, as soon as possible.
As reported by the newspaper La Nazione, there have been no substantial developments in recent weeks regarding a contract extension.
According to the Tuscan outlet, if the renewal does not arrive, Paratici will be forced to sell him in the summer to avoid losing him for free.
