Bastoni, Juve eye Catanzaro 💎 and ZERO bids for Leao: today 🤑 The 2026 World Cup officially kicks off tomorrow with the opening match between Mexico and South Africa. The spotlight of international football will be firmly on North America, though a little less so for us given Italy’s absence. In the meantime, let’s take a look at the day’s most important transfer news involving the big clubs in our league. Juve enchanted by a Catanzaro gem Juventus continue to monitor promising young players to strengthen Luciano Spalletti’s squad and, according to Sky Sport , they have set their sights on Mattia Liberali. The Catanzaro talent has caught the attention of the Bianconeri scouts thanks also to his performances in the two-legged playoff clash against Monza. The Calabrian club values the 2007-born player at around six million euros, while Milan retain a 50% sell-on clause. Competition for the player remains strong from Bologna, Como, Sassuolo and Cagliari, with the Sardinian rossoblù currently appearing to be the team closest to completing the deal. Milan, no real negotiations for Leao Rafael Leao’s words continue to fuel doubts over his future at Milan. The Portuguese forward reiterated that he is satisfied with what he has done in the Rossoneri shirt, but he also left the door open to a possible departure in the coming months. According to Matteo Moretto, the player’s desire for a change of scenery now seems clear, but there is currently no real negotiation underway. The only club to have shown concrete interest is Galatasaray, while Leao would prefer to wait until after the World Cup and assess any bigger offers. As things stand, there are no top-level suitors ready to make a serious move for Milan’s number 10. Inter-Bastoni, renewal signs: Tinti reassures everyone Alessandro Bastoni remains one of the cornerstones of Inter’s present and future. In recent hours, his agent, Tullio Tinti, visited the Nerazzurri headquarters to discuss the defender’s possible contract extension as well. According to Sky Sport and TuttoMercatoWeb , the possibility of a move to Barcelona can now be ruled out. Inter consider Bastoni a pillar of the project and are working to tie him down long term. Tinti himself confirmed it: “ Bastoni is staying in Milan, he has the shirt sewn onto him ,” a statement that further strengthens the prospect of an imminent renewal.  Napoli, Zeballos pushing: pressure on Boca Exequiel Zeballos continues to send signals toward Napoli. According to CalcioNapoli24 , the Argentine winger is putting pressure on Boca Juniors to facilitate a move to the Azzurri, confirming his desire to test himself in European football and, in particular, with the Naples club. The negotiations have remained open for weeks. The 2002-born player is involved in talks over a renewal with Boca, but he has reportedly asked for a relatively low release clause, between 8 and 9 million euros, precisely so as not to shut the door on a move to Napoli. The Azzurri have been following the player for some time and remain in contact, while in Argentina there is growing belief that the deal could gather pace during the summer. According to several reports, Napoli are confident they can land Zeballos, with Boca preferring to sell him now rather than risk losing him on less favorable terms in the coming months. Roma, not just Greenwood: here are all the backup plans Mason Greenwood remains Roma’s main target to strengthen Gian Piero Gasperini’s attack, but negotiations with Marseille look set to be complicated. For this reason, the Giallorossi management are already evaluating several alternatives in case their move for the Englishman does not succeed. According to Corriere dello Sport , the profiles being tracked include Torino’s Nikola Vlasic, RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa, Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis, West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville and Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa. Mathys Tel, fresh from his experience at Tottenham, is also on the list. In addition, one of the most appreciated options is Igor Paixao, already identified as the main alternative to Greenwood should the path leading to the Marseille winger become definitively too complicated. Lazio, eyes on Asp Jensen: 4 million deal Lazio continue to monitor young international talents, and among the profiles being followed most closely is Jonathan Asp Jensen. The Danish attacking midfielder, born in 2006 and owned by Bayern Munich, is coming off a very positive season at Grasshopper, ending with 9 goals and 6 assists, numbers that have attracted the interest of the Biancocelesti club. Contacts between the parties have been ongoing for weeks, and the deal could be completed for a fee close to 4 million euros. Developed between Vejle and Midtjylland, Asp Jensen has already made his first-team debut for Bayern under Tuchel. Gifted with great technical quality and attacking versatility, he has been compared in style to De Ketelaere and, in terms of progression, to Iličić. It remains to be seen, however, whether Gattuso will prefer to focus on another young prospect or ask for more ready-made reinforcements. Fiorentina, Grosso insists on Thorstvedt Fiorentina are beginning to build the team of the future under Fabio Grosso, with Fabio Paratici working on the transfer market. Among the names at the top of the new Viola coach’s wishlist is Kristian Thorstvedt, the Sassuolo midfielder considered perfect for the technical project. According to Corriere dello Sport , however, the negotiations are expected to be complicated. Despite the Norwegian’s contract running until 2027, Sassuolo value the player at around 15 million euros and do not seem willing to offer any discounts. Paratici is already said to be working to lower the Neroverdi club’s demands and bring the parties closer together, with new contacts expected in the coming hours.
