Juve, Senesi moving away: top-level competition

Juventus strengthened their hold on fourth place thanks to the win over Atalanta and Como’s slip-up, while the management continues to work in the transfer market to strengthen the squad available to Spalletti. As reported by Matteo Moretto, however, one of the targets for the defense is now at serious risk of slipping away.

It is Marcos Senesi, Bournemouth’s center-back whose contract expires in June, long tracked by the Bianconeri as a free-transfer opportunity. The arrival of clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham has complicated the plans, slowing down a deal that had seemed well underway.

Milan, Hojlund backstory: deal collapsed!

In the Pressing studio, as reported by MilanNews, Carlo Pellegatti analyzed Milan’s difficult moment, stressing that some of the problems had already been foreseen by Allegri. The coach, in fact, knew the squad’s limitations and had already asked for targeted reinforcements in December, without receiving the necessary financial backing from the club.

Pellegatti also revealed a sensational transfer-market backstory: Hojlund was practically already a Milan player on a loan with an obligation to buy for €35 million, but the club caused the move to fall through by rejecting that formula. From there came the transfer to Napoli, a symbol of an ineffective strategy, with the Rossoneri still searching for a true top-level center-forward.

Inter, Calha heading for goodbye? Turkey is convinced

Hakan Calhanoglu’s future is a major talking point at Inter ahead of next season, with his renewal up in the air and interest coming from Turkey. As reported by A Spor, through the words of executive and pundit Taner Karaman, the midfielder is now said to be just one step away from Galatasaray.

According to the report, the operation is 99% done, with the remaining 1% linked solely to the still-missing signature. Contacts are progressing positively and the player has reportedly already given his word to the Turkish club, while Inter weigh their options between a lower-value renewal or a sale to avoid letting his contract run down.

Napoli, Pinamonti idea: possible backup to Hojlund

Napoli have started planning their attacking department for next season and, as reported by CalcioNapoli24, one of the profiles being monitored is Andrea Pinamonti. The Sassuolo striker represents a possible solution as an alternative to Rasmus Hojlund, especially in light of the uncertainty surrounding the other center-forwards in the squad.

The situations of Romelu Lukaku and Lorenzo Lucca, in fact, are still far from defined and could lead to major changes in the department. For this reason, the Azzurri club is moving early, evaluating Pinamonti as a concrete option to complete the attack, even if for now it is only a hypothesis and not an advanced negotiation.

Roma, Balerdi idea: Marseille exit close

According to French outlet Footmercato, Leonardo Balerdi is destined to leave Marseille at the end of the season, with a separation already agreed by mutual consent between the parties. The Argentine defender, coming off a complicated campaign also marked by physical problems, has attracted the interest of several clubs.

Among them is Roma, who have been following the player for some time and are considering a possible move. His valuation is around €20 million, but it could change after the summer World Cup, while his contract running until 2028 leaves room for negotiation.

Lazio, Sarri’s future: Napoli and Fiorentina in the background

Maurizio Sarri’s future is still unwritten and, as reported by TUTTOmercatoWEB also citing Il Corriere della Sera, several paths could open up in the coming months. The coach, currently at Lazio, may not be certain to stay, and both Fiorentina and Napoli are closely monitoring the situation.

La Viola are considering a possible move in the event of changes on the bench, while Napoli are an intriguing option also linked to the possible departure of Conte. For now, these are only hypotheses: everything will depend on end-of-season decisions and how the various managerial positions fall into place.

Fiorentina, Febas idea: scouts in Spain

Fiorentina are starting to make moves ahead of the summer transfer window, with the goal of rebuilding a squad that has fallen short of expectations. As reported by ViolaNews, the Viola club has sent a scout to Spain to closely monitor Elche midfielder Aleix Febas.

The 1996-born player is nearing the end of his contract and has not yet found an agreement over a renewal, mainly for financial reasons. A situation that could favor Fiorentina’s move, with the club ready to seize the opportunity on a free transfer.
