Transfer roundup: Juventus targets strikers, Inter exits

Transfer roundup: Juventus targets strikers, Inter exits imminent, Napoli and Milan business continues

Here is a round-up of Thursday’s key transfer stories involving the major Serie A clubs.

Juventus

The Bianconeri explored moves for both Alexander Sorloth and Randal Kolo Muani as they looked to rebuild their attack following a disappointing season. The two pursuits were not mutually exclusive, with Juventus understood to be open to signing more than one striker. Meanwhile, Juventus set their asking price for Andrea Cambiaso amid interest from Barcelona and Chelsea; the club wanted a minimum of €30 million for the versatile full-back. Dusan Vlahovic’s contract talks hit a wall, with Chelsea linked with a move for the Serbian striker as his Juventus future became increasingly unlikely.

Inter

Inter were willing to include Davide Frattesi as part of a potential deal for Roma defender Gianluca Mancini, as the Nerazzurri continued to reshape their squad. Denzel Dumfries’s move to Real Madrid appeared increasingly imminent, with incoming Madrid coach José Mourinho—who was a former head coach of Inter—closing in on a return to the Bernabeu.

Napoli

Antonio Conte’s departure from Napoli was made official, clearing the path for Allegri’s imminent appointment. The Partenopei were also being linked with Alexis Saelemaekers, with Allegri’s arrival appearing to open the door for a move for one of Milan’s standout performers.

Roma

Roma prepared to make their first formal offer to Marseille for Mason Greenwood, with the Giallorossi firmly targeting the former Manchester United forward despite an expected asking price of €50-60 million. The club also needed to raise funds to comply with financial fair play regulations before the end of June, putting players such as Evan Ndicka and Manu Koné in the shop window. Meanwhile, Real Madrid continued to be linked with Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori as president Florentino Perez confirmed the club was actively seeking another top defender this summer.
