Serie A Transfer Rumors: Juventus Eyes Salah, Milan Considers Ugarte, De Vrij Delays Inter Renewal
Transfer market activity in Serie A is seeing several clubs pursue new talents and address existing contracts. Juventus is reportedly interested in Mohamed Salah, though financial hurdles remain. AC Milan is evaluating Manuel Ugarte as a potential signing, while Inter Milan's Stefan De Vrij has put a contract extension on hold as he seeks more playing time. Napoli is engaging in slow but optimistic renewal talks with McTominay. Roma is exploring options for Greenwood and aiming to raise funds through player sales. Lazio is nearing the signing of Bruno Galassi from Real Madrid, and Fiorentina is discussing Moise Kean's future.
The Serie A transfer market continues to be a focal point for Italian clubs, with several key movements and negotiations underway.
Juventus is reportedly looking to bolster its squad, with coach Luciano Spalletti expressing interest in Mohamed Salah. Previous attempts to sign Alisson and Bernardo Silva were unsuccessful. According to La Stampa, while the relationship between Spalletti and Salah is strong, the financial demands, particularly Salah's salary from the Saudi Pro League, are deemed prohibitive.
AC Milan is evaluating potential midfield targets, including Manuel Ugarte, who has been suggested by Ruben Amorim. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Ugarte's transfer fee would be considerably lower than that of Hjulmand, another player considered. Ugarte is reportedly leaving Manchester United, earns €4.1 million net, and is under contract until 2029.
At Inter Milan, defender Stefan De Vrij has reportedly paused discussions on a contract extension, prioritizing more playing time. Sky Sport indicates he has received four offers from abroad, including three from European clubs promising starting roles and one from Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Inter is reportedly close to securing the signing of Provedel.
Napoli is engaged in contract renewal talks with McTominay. Corriere dello Sport suggests that while progress is slow and salary differences exist, both parties aim to extend the deal until 2030, with a potential option for 2031. Optimism is present despite the ongoing negotiations.
Roma has reportedly had fresh contact regarding Greenwood, who is considered Gasperini’s top choice. Fabrizio Romano states that Marseille is asking for €50 million plus €5 million in bonuses, largely due to Manchester United's high sell-on percentage. Roma hopes to reduce this asking price and plans to raise funds through the potential sale of Soulé. Offers for Koné, valued between €45 million and €50 million, could also emerge before July, according to Pedullà.
Lazio is reportedly close to signing Bruno Galassi, a 2007-born midfielder from Real Madrid's Primavera side, where he made 11 appearances. Gianluca Di Marzio and LaLazioSiamoNoi indicate that Galassi will join on a free transfer, with Real Madrid retaining a 50% sell-on clause.
Fiorentina is scheduled for a meeting between Moise Kean's agent, Alessandro Lucci, and Paratici to discuss the striker's continued stay at the club. FirenzeViola.it reports that a significant offer from a Champions League club would be necessary to alter this course, but no such offers or interest approaching his €62 million release clause have materialized.
