In the meantime, let’s look at today’s biggest transfer news. Juve thinking about Zaniolo if Diaz doesn’t arrive Juventus are considering Nicolò Zaniolo as a possible alternative to Brahim Díaz to strengthen the attacking midfield area. According to Tuttosport , the Bianconeri have already made initial contact with the player’s entourage and could make a move if the trail leading to the Real Madrid Spaniard becomes too complicated. Helping this scenario is the situation with Udinese, where renewal talks are stalled because of the gap over the salary requested by the player. In the event of a sale, the Friulian club would start from a valuation of around €15 million. Juventus are not the only club tracking Zaniolo, though: Como are also closely following developments. Milan, Antonio Silva closer: Benfica’s moves Milan are pushing for Antonio Silva and talks with Benfica are getting more and more serious. According to Fabrizio Romano , the Rossoneri have already reached an agreement with the Portuguese defender, who is strongly wanted by Ruben Amorim, while the good relationship with Jorge Mendes could help the deal go through. Aware of the possible departure of the 2003-born player, Benfica are already moving in search of a replacement. The dream remains Milan Skriniar, although the Slovak’s salary and his desire to stay at Fenerbahçe complicate the deal. More concrete, however, is the trail leading to Clément Lenglet, who is close to arriving on a free transfer after the end of his spell with Atletico Madrid. Inter, Liverpool still standing firm over Jones Inter continue to track Curtis Jones, but talks with Liverpool remain anything but simple. As explained by Fabrizio Romano , the English club have no intention of letting the midfielder go cheaply and are even ready to keep him, addressing the issue of a contract renewal rather than accepting offers they consider insufficient. A lot will depend on Inter’s next moves. A possible improved bid up to €30-33 million, including bonuses, could change the balance of the negotiations, but for now Liverpool are holding a firm position and do not seem willing to offer any discounts for the 2001-born player. Napoli, squad needs trimming: seven on the way out Napoli will have to slim down a squad that has become very large after their recent transfer market investment. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , with Massimiliano Allegri arriving, several departures will be inevitable to rebalance the squad, already strengthened by the signings of Hojlund, Alisson Santos, and Lucca. Among the main candidates to leave are Romelu Lukaku, whose heavy salary could be a useful burden to remove, as well as Cajuste, Lindstrom, Ngonge, and Giovane. The positions of Milinkovic-Savic, seen as a possible capital gain, and Anguissa, who is being followed by Turkish and Saudi clubs and is also considered expendable because of the player’s own wishes, also remain to be assessed. Roma, fake news on Koné-Atletico! Freuler fading away? The rumors linking Manu Koné with Atletico Madrid have been firmly denied by Matteo Moretto . On Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, the journalist explained that the midfielder was simply offered to the Colchoneros , but the Spanish club have other technical and transfer priorities: as of today, it is Atletico who are not considering the move, making this trail one to rule out. Meanwhile, Roma do not seem intent on targeting Remo Freuler to strengthen the midfield. According to the Corriere della Sera , the Swiss midfielder, ready to leave Bologna on a free transfer, is not a priority for the Roma management, who continue to evaluate different solutions to complete the department. Lazio, eyes on Sevilla: two profiles being tracked Lazio continue to monitor the Spanish market to strengthen the defense. lalaziosiamonoi.it underlines that - through some intermediaries - Sevilla have offered the Biancocelesti two profiles: the new name is Andrés Castrín, a 2003-born center-back valued at around €6 million, considered an investment in line with the club’s strategy in terms of age, cost, and room for growth. The name of Kike Salas, already followed by Lazio in the past, has also returned to the table. The left-footed Sevilla defender, coming off a season with more than 2,200 minutes in La Liga, remains an appreciated profile for his versatility. For the moment, however, no concrete opening has come from Formello: the club are evaluating opportunities without having made any decisive moves yet. Fiorentina, battle with Napoli for a South American talent Fiorentina and Napoli are battling for Ezequiel Zeballos, the Argentine talent from Boca Juniors who has ended up on both clubs’ radar. The winger, whose contract expires at the end of 2026, is being followed with great interest, as reiterated by  La Gazzetta dello Sport : Fiorentina are aiming to exploit the contract situation to lower the transfer fee, while Napoli continue to keep contacts with Boca alive to find the right formula. The €18 million release clause is the starting point, but both Fiorentina and Napoli hope to complete the deal for lower figures. In the meantime, Fiorentina are also protecting themselves by evaluating Matteo Cancellieri as an alternative, although Torino are applying strong pressure for the Lazio player.
