Milan bid for Martín, Lazio eye 2007-born, Chevalier-Juve

While Roma are getting significantly closer to Santiago Castro, the appointment of Pirlo remains on hold as Italy national team head coach.

Meanwhile, the transfer market for the top clubs rolls on relentlessly, also shaped by the outcome of pre-season friendlies.

Juventus, denial over Chevalier

Despite links between Chevalier and Juventus – reported by RMC Sport – there does not currently appear to be any real negotiations underway for the French goalkeeper.

According to Fabrizio Romano:“At the moment, there are no talks for Chevalier. For Juventus’ goalkeeping position, I would keep the names Suzuki and Vicario in mind.” Dibu Martinez should not be forgotten either, according to Matteo Moretto: “Next week will be make-or-break.”

Milan, offer for Martín rejected

Milan are interested in Barcelona’s Gerard Martín and according to El Nacional they have already submitted a €20 million bid, which was rejected by the Blaugrana, who are asking for €35 million.

Moreover, according to Gianluigi Longari of Sportitalia, Barça are unwilling to part with their 2004-born centre-back.

Inter, does RDZ bring Romero’s sale closer?

After Ausilio confirmed the negotiations for Romero (and denied the Perisic story), Sky Sport provided an update on the talks for the centre-back.

Tottenham’s starting asking price is €50 million, and there will also be work to do on his wages, which currently stand at €6.5 million net. Romero, however, appears to be increasingly outside De Zerbi’s plans, with the coach categorical today: “Anyone who is not happy and proud to be here can leave.”

Napoli, Lucumì is the preferred option

Buongiorno’s injury is forcing Napoli to consider signing a new centre-back: according to Il Mattino, Lucumì is one of the club’s most appreciated names.

The defender is nearing the end of his contract, and Bologna’s CEO confirmed that “he can leave because we promised him that.” His valuation is between €25 million and €30 million.

Roma, impossible to sign Rashford

While Dovbyk is talking with Domenico Tedesco over a possible move to Bologna, Matteo Moretto revealed that there have been contacts between intermediaries to assess the feasibility of a potential Rashford move to Roma. For now, however, the deal is practically impossible.

His salary costs are extremely high and, for the time being, the player has not opened the door to a move to Serie A. Rashford will also be assessed by Carrick during training camp.

Lazio, push for Markmann

According to Il Messaggero, Lazio are stepping up their move for a new defender: Noah Markmann, the 19-year-old from Nordsjaelland who is part of Denmark’s U21 setup.

The deal could be completed for €5 million plus €1 million in bonuses, given that Gattuso has already given the green light to the negotiations after watching videos of Markmann.

Fiorentina, Moreno on his way out and Dodo’s price

Matias Moreno is getting closer and closer to leaving: according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Venezia are in talks for the Fiorentina defender, who spent last season on loan at Levante.

Also on the outgoing front, according to the Corriere dello Sport, the Viola have set Dodo’s price at €15 million despite his contract nearing expiry. A renewal towards the end of the transfer window cannot be ruled out either, in order to better manage his stay over the course of the season.
