The summer transfer market is heating up. Teams are starting their friendly tests and coaches are waiting for reinforcements – and also for players who have extra vacation from their commitments in the Copa America and Euro 2024 – to be able to refine the game system and strategies to approach the new season in the best possible way. Of course, the transfer market is one of the reasons that interests football fans the most at this time of year. People dream of the big move or hope to build a squad that can guarantee a regular place in Serie A or a place in Europe. Between rumors from managers and coaches, indiscretions launched by market experts and negotiations and/or officials, this is the news of today, Saturday, July 20, 2024.

Extension suspended for Kenan Yildiz. The Turkish talent currently earns 300 thousand euros, Juventus has proposed a contract of 1.2 million euros. The parties are working on an agreement. The Bianconeri are betting heavily on the player, so much so that they want to transform him into the image man of the club, and also want to give him the number 10 shirt. After a brief renewed interest in Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal has decided to close the deal by accepting Bologna’s request.

On the incoming side, negotiations with Atalanta for Teun Koopmeiners seem to be getting even more complicated. The coach of the Godin has already signed the player. Only a shocking offer of no less than 60 million euros can convince the club from Bergamo. On the outgoing side, McKennie and Szczesny have not been called up for the summer retreat of a week in Germany. A placement is being sought for both players. Also on the outgoing side are Dean Huijsen and Daniele Rugani, who have also been excluded from the call-ups of Thiago Motta.

Milan have officially signed Francesco Camarda. The striker, born in 2008 and currently starring with Italy U19 at the European Championship in that category, will play for the Rossoneri’s second team, Milan Futuro in Serie C. The footballer has signed his first professional contract, which expires in 2027.

For the attack, Niclas Fullkrug has come into Atletico Madrid’s sights. Colchoneros They are angry with the Rossoneri for the purchase of Alvaro Morata. They abuse the release clause and have thrown themselves at the German striker, who Milan likes very much.

Inter has put on hold the operation with Venezia for Tanner Tessmann, which was well underway. The midfielder seemed close to signing with the Nerazzurri, with the option to loan the player to Di Francesco for a year. The negotiations have been definitively put on hold. However, in terms of renewal, there is optimism about the arrival of Denzel Dumfries, whose contract expires in 2025: the Nerazzurri’s offer remains stuck at 4 million euros per season, while the player is asking for 5 million, but the impression is that he could turn back and accept the amount offered by the Inter club.

The new name for the defense is Robert Renan, a player from Zenit St. Petersburg. The player has a clause of 26 million euros, but the Russians would accept even 20 million euros. Valentin Carboni is still on the way out: Inter’s latest incoming moves also depend on his transfer. Marseille continues to push, but an agreement must be found, starting with the transfer formula.

Lazio is at risk of having to give up Gila. The Spanish central defender has landed in the sights of Real Madrid, who have brought him up. The Spaniards have 50% of the player’s resale price, so they would only pay half of the price asked by the Biancocelesti. Fiorentina, on the other hand, have Andrea Colpani in their sights. Despite Galliani’s denials in recent days, the Brianza manager is in a situation where he has to extract the highest possible amount from the Viola. The deal could be closed for 15 million euros plus bonuses.

With the departure of Ciro Immobile, Lazio is looking for a first striker and the sights are set on Cholito Simeone. The little space he has found at Napoli in recent years could convince the Argentine to change air. Empoli makes a double deal: Mattia Viti and Lorenzo Colombo. The first comes on loan with the right to buy back from Nice, the second on a dry loan from Milan.

Bologna have chosen Thijs Dallinga from Toulouse as a replacement for Joshua Zirkzee, who left for Manchester United a few days ago. Napoli have the yes-word of Romelu Lukaku who has accepted a lower salary than what he earns at Chelsea, but there is still a distance with Chelsea (but everything depends on the sale of Osimhen to PSG).
