Juventus fans will expect the old mighty team Allegri had in past years. The 2021-22 season is going to be one of the toughest seasons because almost all the Italian teams are in a difficult economic situation.

Antonio Candreva

The 34 year old right winger or right midfielder, has been on loan from Inter Milan to

had a great season, playing in 35 games and scoring five goals. Also he had eight assists which made him contributing to 25 percent of Blucerchiati’s goals this campaign. After

from Real Madrid, and Matteo Darmian from Parma, joined Inter, Candreva couldn’t get near the pitch, so the loan move gave him the play time he wanted.

Considering his age and his performance and despite the fallout with Sampdoria coach Ranieri, Sampdoria made a great deal. Candreva’s contract is until 2024. There has been some talks about interests from his former club, Lazio, and also from

. The seriousness of this ideas will become apparent over the coming weeks when it’ll be seen if there are any further developments or not.

Matteo Darmian

Given his excellent form in 

,

was included in the national team. In 2014 World Cup, Italy’s coach at the time was Cesare Prandelli. He used Darmian as Right-Back, whether in three defender system or the popular 4-3-3 formation. In the next year, he joined Manchester United and

used him frequently, but he had a hard time to adapt to the Premier League and, more importantly, Manchester United style of football.

In Euro 2016, Antonio Conte used him in the same role he had in Torino as a Wing-Back. His brilliant performances persuaded the English club to give him more chance, it didn’t turn out well. After United, in 2019, Darmian wanted to return to Italy to restore his form. Both Inter and

was eager to sign Darmian, but Parma didn't have enough money. Inter Milan came up with an agreement with Parma that if Parma buy Darmian, Inter will buy him from Parma in the next season with a certain transfer fee.

Inter kept the promise and Darmian joined the Nerazzurri in the best possible time. He won the Serie A title with Inter in the last season and scored three important goals in 26 apperences. His transfer in the last summer was loan and in the 

Serie A 21/22 transfers

, he became an Inter player at last.

Matteo Politano

Like Antonio Candreva, 

 was on a two year loan to 

from Inter Milan for the last season with an obligation to make the deal permanent. The 27 years old winger joined Inter in 2018 and despite his good performance, he had to leave the club when Conte became the manager. He was not compatible with the 3-5-2 formation Conte used in Inter. In the 2019-20 winter transfer window, Politano moved to Napoli.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio,

has shown interest in Politano for a permanent transfer this summer. The new Lazio manager is trying to improve his offensive line. Sarri wants Politano as his first forward signing, but Politano has three more years with Napoli on his contract. We have to wait and see if Napoli would plan to sell him in the long Serie A Summer Transfer Window of 2021-22.

With the approval of the new Napoli manager, Luciano Spalletti, his contract turned permanent on May 1. In 52 Serie A caps for Napoli, Politano scored 11 goals and made seven assists. The transfer fee is reported €19 million.

finally left Milan. He was a youth squad player for Rossoneri before Siniša Mihajlović saw his potential in 2015. Donnarumma is the second youngest goalkeeper to start a match in Serie A. The 17 years old was the third choice after Christian Abbiati and

, but in a brave action, Mihajlović made him the first goalkeeper. Since then, Donnarumma remained Milan's main keeper and made 215 caps in six Serie A seasons.

Born in 1999, the goalkeeper currently is the trustworthy replacement for Gigi Buffon in Italy national team 2020-21 campaign was pretty good in results for both Milan and Donnarumma. Milan qualified for the Champions League after years with Donnarumma as the Best Goalkeeper of the Season. In the same season, the club's board failed to meet Donnarumma's high demands to extend his contract in several attempts.

His agent, Mino Raiola, is believed to have a big role in ending the young keeper's departure from Milan. The destination is going to be

Mike Maignan

Milan hired the goalkeeper of the Ligue 1 champion team to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma. Mike Maignan's contract with Milan is five years long.

and Milan agreed on a €13 million transfer fee for the 25 year old keeper. It didn't take long for Milan to introduce their new goalkeeper. The process of negotiation with Mino Raiola overextending Donnarumma's contract was disappointing for Milan.

The club's executive board decided to let the contract expire and sign with Mike Maignan instead. The French keeper has a hard job to fill in for the Best Goalkeeper of Serie A 2020-21. Milan fans should hope for a new shine for their new goalkeeper because his high quality has been proven many times. In Paris Saint-Germain youth, he was promising, so he joined Lille to get more chances to play.

The first manager who put his trust in Maignan's hands was

. In the 2017-18 season, the Argentinian coach promoted Maignan to the main goalkeeper role, the role he kept for three more seasons. Given he was chosen as Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of 2018-19 and his last season performance that ended with Lille's championship, it is not naive to looking forward to seeing him in Serie A.

Ashley Young

was one of the several sign-ins which Antonio Conte made for inter from Premier League. He now will go back to premier league on a free transfer and join his old club,

 and in the summer window earlier Romelu Lukaku joined Nerazzurri.

center back Fikayo Tomori. The 23 years old made his debut for England national team in 2019 even though he was not given many chances in Chelsea. Born in Canada, he joined Chelsea's academy when he was eight and in the 2015-16 campaign reached the senior squad. He only made one appearance in the Premier League in that season.

After a string of loans to Championship teams in 2019-20, he was included in Chelsea's first squad and had 15 caps. In January 2021, Tomori went to Milan on another loan. Followed by

's injury, Milan hired him to not let their good half-season turn to disaster. Tomori made 17 appearances in Serie A. He scored his first and only goal in a 3-0 win against Juventus. 

The Italian side paid Chelsea €29.2 m to sign a four years long contract with Tomori. Given Simon Kjær's wonderful summer with Denmark national team in Euro 2020, Tomori could be a perfect match for Stefano Pioli's defensive thoughts. 

Gianluigi Buffon

"Superman Returns" is the term Parma used to announce the return of

. Parma is the club where Buffon started his professional career. Buffon joined Gialloblu when he was 13 years old. In the 1995-96 season, the 17 years old Buffon made his debut in Serie A. The debut match was against Milan. Buffon saved a penalty and kept the clean sheet resulted in a goalless draw.

At first, he was a backup for Luca Bucci, but in the next season, their new manager

made him the first goalkeeper. After a 3-1 defeat against Inter in the 7th matchday of 1996-97, Ancelotti put Gigi in the starting line-up and after that, he didn't miss a minute until the end. He did a great job that Parma only lost four games in the rest of the season and finished in second place. He spent four more seasons in Parma and won UEFA Cup, Coppa Italia, and Supercopa Italiana before his move to Juventus.

In 2001, he replaced Edwin van der Sar in a transfer that made him the most expensive Goalkeeper ever. He kept the title until 2017 and meanwhile became an idol in the Turin club. After years of pride and glory in Juventus, he returned to Parma on a free transfer. He may be the hero Parma needs to get back to Serie A.

Marlon is De Zerbi's third purchase of Shakhtar. There are 11 other Brazilians in Shakhtar's squad. Having this many compatriots may help Marlon to adapt faster to the Ukrainian Premier League. 

Hakan Calhanoglu

No one would believe that

Alex Cordaz

is a product of Inter Milan youth system, who have won the championship with the Primavera team. He is now back to Intenazionale after almost fifteen years. Inter had brilliant goalkeepers like

and Francesco Toldo at the time, so he could hardly find any place in the senior squad.

Inter loaned Cordaz a couple of times and in 2005 he left Inter and joined 

 in Serie C. In 2013, Cordaz joined the top tier club, Parma, but he didn’t had many chances there either. He finally became a crucial player when he left Parma and joined Crotone. In Crotone, not only he was the main man in the goal, but they made him the captain.

Cordaz made 248 appearances for Crotone including 110 games in Serie A. After Daniele Padelli move to Udinese and the relegation of Crotone to Serie B, he came back to his first club, Inter. Italian champions successfully hired their homegrown keeper on a free transfer.

. He left Inter in the 2019-20 winter transfer window for Hellas Verona. Dimarco's debut match was a home win over Juventus. In his first match against Inter, he made his first assist. The first time Dimarco played the full time was against SPAL where he made 2 assists. In 2020-21 Ivan Juric made him the left wing in his 3-5-2 lineup.

Like Juric and Conte, Simone Inzaghi uses a 3-5-2 formation and Dimarco quite suits Inter in the upcoming season. His loan spell turned out really great and he had the second highest number of big chances created by full back in the last season. He is now on his best form and it is enough for Inter to give him a shot. After Achraf Hakimi and Ashley Young’s departure, Inter could use the 23 year old in their squad.

In the 48 Serie A appearances, he scored 5 goals and provided 9 assists. Dimarco played 15 games as a centre-back in 3-5-2, so same as Darmian, 

, and Kolarov he has the capability to play in all defensive roles. Having an academy player is very beneficial for the Champions League squad list because the teams must contain at least 8 homegrown players.

Daniele Padelli

The return of Ionut Radu from Parma to Inter after finishing the loan contract was another reason Padelli left. He claims to be originally an Inter fan but Radu would probably be Handanovic's substitute and in that case, Padelli might not receive playtime in Inter.

 was one of the names Italian press suggested to be Samir Handanovic's replacement. Handanovic was an Udinese player before joining Inter. Musso left Udinese but he joined the other Nerazzurri. Atalanta signed the praised goalkeeper and now he has the chance to be the main goalkeeper of the Bergamo team in the Champions League.

In 2011-12 and 2012-13, Padelli was Udinese goalkeeper. He made 9 caps in Serie A, 2 in Europa League, and one in Coppa Italia. The only non-Italian team Padelli played for is

Franck Ribéry

In 2019 when Rocco Commisso purchased Fiorentina as the new president of the club, he promised the fans to bring back the former glory to the Florence club. Franck Ribery was the resemblance to that promise Commisso gave.

and Martin Caceres were the other well-known transfer Commisso made that summer.

Ribery made his impact and became the Most Valuable Player of September. He was doing great but after the infamous sent-off after the defeat against Lazio, everything turned ugly. Soon he was struggling with an ankle injury which caused him to skip lots of matches.

In the first season,

Juan Musso

Juan Musso left Udinese after three amazing seasons. The 27 years old goalkeeper joined Atalanta and will be their number one in 2021-22.

Achraf Hakimi

​​The biggest one in the

 list of Italian football transfers in summer 2021

up to this moment is Achraf Hakimi's move to Paris. Hakimi's transfer fee is reported €60 million which could, potentially rising by €11 million in add-ons. The transfer is currently Inter's second biggest departure after

's move to Barcelona with €69 million.  

The 22 years old winger had a great season in Inter and was one of the best players in Serie A. Hakimi was a key player for Inter Milan in Serie A Campain because of his versatile skills and pace. He joined Inter last year on a €40 million transfer from Real Madrid. At the end of the season, they won a precious Scudetto, and Achraf played a big role. He only missed one match through the season and scored seven goals. 

Inter had to make money because of the financial balance and the only way to fill the gap in their accounts was in the transfer market. Inter decided to sell Achraf Hakimi because he was one of a few players who had big market value and some clubs were interested in him. Other players, like Lukaku and Martinez, had the same factors, but finding a replacement for them could be impossible.

While all the big European clubs are dealing with economic problems, Paris Saint-Germain is the only team dominating the market. The French team has already signed with

and

on free transfers and after Euro 2020 ends, Gianluigi Donnarumma will be the next free sign-in for them. In some transfer talks about Hakimi, there were some rumors about him wanting to rejoin Real Madrid after his journey in PSG.

Felipe Anderson 

will fly from London to Rome to sign up for Lazio. The Brazilian first came to Italy in 2013 from Santos. Anderson's top performance started in his second season in Serie A. He continued to shine in 2015-16 and many big offers were received from Lazio for him.

The most notable offer was from Manchester United. The Red Devils made €60 million for the attacking midfielder and the Italian club initially was agreed, but soon they canceled the deal and kept him. Anderson's form started to decline and the tear in the abductor muscle injury sped it up. He finally went to Premier League in 2018, but not to Manchester United.

paid £36 million for Anderson, making him the most expensive arrival for the Hammers.

The 25 years old is currently the second record deal, surpassed by Sebastian Haller one year later. Anderson faced many troubles in London and never fit in the English football. He spent the last season on a loan in Porto, but he didn't fit in there too. Maybe return to Rome, where he had his best performance in Europe, will help him restore his balance and form. 

Keita Balde

There have been some talks about the Senegalese forward’s intention of leaving Monaco. Inter Milan could be a viable option for Keita especially since he has worked with the manager

before.

The 26 year old striker started his senior career at Lazio in 2013 for a €300,000 transfer fee, of which 10% went to Cornellà. After four successful seasons, he joined

on a five-year contract for a reported €30 million transfer fee. In his second season in the french club, he was loaned to Inter Milan which he played in 24 games and scored five goals for the Italian club. In the previous season he also was loaned to another Serie A club and again had a wonderful season. 

Inter might not be able to buy him at first, but a loan move with a buy option could work for the Italian club. Inter could do worse for a fourth striker and with the Lukaku and Sanchez/Lautaro front, Keita wouldn’t be a reliable backup for Lukaku.

Olivier Giroud

According to Sky Sport Italia, Chelsea has finally reached an agreement with AC Milan on

in 2012, and in five seasons he became the club’s eighteenth highest all-time goalscorer. In 2018, Chelsea made his transfer with a transfer fee of €20.7 million, at first for 18 months. In 2019 he was Chelsea’s top scorer and in the last season he scored 11 goals in 31 competitive games for Chelsea. The contract has cost more than what Milan would hope, but considering Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s injuries, they had to secure the offensive line in their primary transfers.

Emerson Palmieri 

Napoli is keen on

’s transfer from Chelsea. The 26 years old Left-Back had an amazing season and won the Champions League with Chelsea. Napoli's new manager, Luciano Spalletti, was Palmieri's coach in Roma.

's departure opened up a full-back vacancy in Spalletti's squad.

Despite being a constant Italian national team player, joining Chelsea never became the first choice in Chelsea. After joining on a €20 million transfer from Roma, he made 32 appearances in two and a half Premier League seasons. There is only one year left from his contract with London Blues and he will become a free contract after the upcoming season. The Move to Napoli will prevent the free departure of Emerson. 

Sandro Tonali

Milan turned

's loan contract into a permanent. Tonali was considered one of the most brilliant Italian talent when he was

player. He made his debutin Serie A at the age of 19 in a victory against Cagliari in 2019-20 Serie A.

All the big Serie A clubs kept an eye on Tonali and he received many offers. Both Milanese teams were eager to sign him and both Brescia and Tonali were negotiating with two Milan giants. Despite Inter was in advanced negotiations with the club, Milan was in a better position with Tonali himself. At last he went to AC Milan on a €10 million loan for  a season and Rossoneri had the option to buy.

Tonali played in 25 Serie A matches for Milan in 2020-21. The born in 2000 midfielder is usually compared with

but in his debut season he was far away from the Italian legend. Rossoneri didn't lose his trust in Tonali though and making his the contract permanent is the sign that Stefano Pioli counts on Tonali for 2021-22.

His market value is about 5.5 million currently, and selling him would be profitable for Inter Milan. But the most probably way, if he leaves the club, would be on a loan deal.

Isco

AC Milan is approaching

's Isco to be the replacement for Hakan Calhanoglu.

joined Real Madrid in 2013 and since then has made 336 caps for Real in all the competitions. Unlike the first few seasons, his role in Real is fading and his playtime is declining.

Carlo Ancelotti used him in 4-2-3-1 formation as an attacking midfielder. His dribbling skills and creative play makings as well as are suitable for the number 10 role. Isco has the ability to play as a winger too. Italian manager in his second season in Madrid added more versatility to Isco's playing style. But giving him more teamwork tasks he needed to participate in defense more than before. He often was the pair of

Despite the ability to play various roles, Isco is a backup plan for

Darian Males

Inter Milan keeps its academy running by giving the talents a chance to play in European leagues. Nerazzurri is known for its prolific academy and scouting talents.

Cristiano Ronaldo

is looking for the options outside Turin. Despite Juventus denying all the rumors about Ronaldo leaving Turin, he is a big name in the Serie A 21/22 transfers.

, Juventus president, had the idea of winning the Champions League title with the help of the Portuguese superstar. Agnelli had the idea of changing the club's philosophy and introduce a more attractive style of football. These two ideas were followed by the departure of Massimiliano Allegri.

Practically none of the ideas of Andrea Agnelli were achieved. Allegri criticized Ronaldo for disturbing the team's balance while he was departing Juventus. Allegri's replacement,

, won the Scudetto, but he was sacked too, and replaced by the club's former player Andrea Pirlo. With Pirlo, Ronaldo finally became Serie A top scorer and added Capocannoniere to his massive trophy locker. Allegri's return sounded the alarm bells for Ronaldo, but it seems Juventus is unable to change the Ronaldo-Oriented plan into what is ideal for Allegri.

There are a few teams that can afford Ronaldo's salary and Paris Saint-Germain is definitely one of them. PSG has already been active in the transfer market. They hired Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid and it raised the idea of hiring his old friend Ronaldo. If the transfer process of

to Real Madrid becomes more serious, PSG will consider Ronaldo as his replacement. The contracts of both Ronaldo and Mbappe expire at the end of 2021-22.

Radja Nainggolan

is currently at the Inter Milan's trainings, but he is listed for transfer. Most likely he is going back to Cagliari, where he was loaned for the past two seasons. Cagliari is the first team the 33 years old midfielder played for in Serie A. After the stunning performance in approximately four years in Cagliari, he moved to Roma.

Nainggolan's career peaked in Roma and he was in Serie A Team of the Year in four consecutive seasons. After joining Inter, he was a shadow of his former self and Milan never became his home. Cagliari is unable to purchase Nainggolan from Inter because he's too expensive.

The only ways that Nainggolan could return to the Sardinian club is either by another loan or release by Inter. Inter is paying the Belgian player €2 million per season and Cagliari is clearly not going to pay him that much. The two teams continuing the negotiation until finding the solution to make the move happen.

Brahim Diaz

AC Milan is satisfied with

's performance and wants to extend his loan from Real Madrid. The Spanish midfielder capped in 39 matches in all the competitions for Milan. Diaz has scored four goals in Serie A, including the goal in a 3-0 victory over Juventus. The position Diaz usually plays is attacking midfielder or simply number 10, but he has the ability to play as a winger.

Due to the departure of Hakan Calhanoglu, Diaz can receive more playing time in Milan. In the negotiation with Real, Paolo Maldini will expect new terms as Milan's technical director. Two clubs have a history of excellent relationship and there is no major obstacle to this transfer. Maldini prefers a two-year contract and on the other side, Real Madrid will have a buyback clause in the new contract. Isco is another Real Madrid player that Milan is interested in. The transfer of Diaz wouldn't have an effect on Isco's negotiation.

. He was loaned to Hellas Verona in 2017-18 and had 19 league caps there.

and made 26 caps. Kean started 22 matches in Ligue 1, the exact twice amount of Icardi's appearances. The 21 years old was also very successful in scoring goals.

Federico Chiesa

Bayern Munich's new manager confirmed his interest in

. Following his brilliant performances in Euro 2020, the Italian winger is targeted by many big European clubs. Fabrizio Romano reported that

praised the 23 years old: “Chiesa is a great player, I think he's extraordinary. He's very fast, with very good dribbling, and finishing…" but he is untouchable. One of the reasons to put Chiesa off the market is that he is technically on loan and Juventus have to pay Fiorentina about €50 million in order to make the deal permanent.

Another reason is that Fede had a great season at Juventus and in his debut season scored 14 goals and provided 10 assists. He had a key role for Juventus to qualify for the Champions League. Juventus' new boss Massimiliano Allegri has secured Chiesa foe the next season before he won the Euro 2020 with Italy national team. Federico has the potential to become a bigger player than his father and his story in Juventus is far from closure.

Mikkel Damsgaard

Sampdoria's

has attracted a lot of attention  due to his excellent form in Euro 2020. The Danish winger played in 35 Serie A matches for Sampdoria in his debut season. He scored his first goal in his third appearance against Lazio. The immediate impact in Sampdoria led to call up for Denmark national team.

In Euro 2020, Damsgaard didn't play in the first match, but he was in the starting line-up for the rest of the tournament. He scored two goals and delivered an assist in Euro 2020. His first goal in the 1-4 victory over

set the record for the youngest Danish player to score at the Euro competition. Damsgaard scored the only free kick goal of Euro 2020 in the Semi final match against England.

Sampdoria has to decide whether to keep the stunning talent for the season or sell him to the highest offer. Liverpool, Everton, and

are the teams interested in bringing Damsgaard to Premier League and Juventus is the one wanting him to stay in Serie A. The Spanish giants are in the battle, too. Real Madrid is ready to make a €40 million offer to be the replacement for Brahim Diaz. Diaz is probably going to stay in Milan.

Hector Bellerin

is still on Inter's transfer list.

’s Spanish winger is one of the potential replacements of Achraf Hakimi, who recently joined Paris Saint-Germain. Bellerin and

are two transfer targets on Giuseppe Marotta’s table.

Marotta is known to be a proficient director of the transfer season and always has some good alternatives in Serie A. Bellerin himself is interested in the transfer to the Italian champion, but no agreement has been reached by the two clubs. The Spanish right back has informed Arsenal that he is willing to join Inter. The Italian side has offered a loan transfer with an option to buy which didn’t accept by the English side.

Cedric Soares was Arsenal’s first choice in the last months of the last season. Bellerin wants to revive his career by playing in the Champions League for Inter. Inter may convince Arsenal to let Bellerin play for Nerrazurri by making the buy-in option an obligation. In this case, Bellerin’s transfer failed Inter will bring Denzel Dumfries to Milan.

Daniele Rugani

is set to leave Juventus and Lazio is a potential destination for him. The 27 year old defender had a horrible season. Half of it was on loan in

. Rugani only made one appearance in the Ligue 1, and in the middle of the 2020-21 season, Juventus recalled him. He went on another loan to Cagliari and recovered his form by making 16 Serie A caps.

The Italian defender joined Juventus in 2013 as a promising talent but he couldn't compete with

and Giorgio Chiellini. The only chance he had was in the case that one of the two legendary defenders wasn't available. His best season in Juventus was 2017-18 when Bonucci moved to Milan for a season. The return of Bonucci and the singing of

leave no chance for Rugani to be a crucial player for Juventus.

Rugani's former coach in Juventus, Maurizio Sarri wants him in Lazio. The 2019-20 season wasn't the first time Sarri was coaching Rugani. Back in Empoli, where he started his professional career, Sarri was the coach. Between 2013-15 under Sarri, he played in 78 league matches for Empoli, including the 38 caps in the Serie A debut season. Rugani could be a low budget solid transfer for the new boss of Lazio.

Andrea Belotti

is targeted by Roma for Jose Mourinho. The 27 years old striker, who won the Euro 2020 with Italy, is about to make a major decision in the Serie A summer transfer window of 2021-22. Belotti joined Torino in 2015 and since then he has played 228 games for Torino in all the competitions. With 103 goals, he is the 8th goalscorer of the club of all time.

The 2016-17 campaign was Belotti's top performance scoring 26 goals in 35 appearances. Followed by his excellent form, he received many offers. It made Torino extend Belotti's contract with a heavy €100 release clause that only non-Italian teams can use. There is only one year remaining of his contract and he has to decide between extending the contract with Torino or leaving the club. The tag price of Torino captain is reducing due to his recent form and aging.

Some Serie A teams are interested in Belotti but it seems that Roma has the upper hand. Roma's new manager Jose Mourinho doesn't feel confident with

's unclear future and needs a striker in his squad. Milan was another team wanting Belotti for a long time, but they changed their target to Olivier Giroud.

Gabriel Jesus

is on the radar of Juventus. The Italian club extended

's contract yet needs another striker as an alternative for the Spanish player. Jesus has been a

player since 2017 but he has been under the shadow of Sergio Agüero. At the beginning of the transfer window, Agüero was officially introduced to Barcelona fans.

Despite

's departure, Man City's forward line is still very crowded. Citizens hired

on a record breaking transfer and this is threatening Jesus' playtime more than ever. The Brazilian striker has scored 82 times and delivered 34 assists in his 195 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions. He is one of the strikers on the transfer list of Juventus. The list of Italian football transfers in summer 2021 for Juventus also includes Moise Kean and Mauro Icardi as Jesus's alternatives.

Rodrigo de Paul 

has signed for the Spanish champion Atlético Madrid. The 27-year-old midfielder joined his new club right after winning the Copa America with

. De Paul has been one of the best midfielders of Serie A in recent years. In 184 caps for

, de Paul has scored 34 goals and provided 37 assists. He has also been a key player for Argentina’s national team as well.

The play style of the former Udinese captain seems to be a perfect match with

's team. Atlético Madrid signed a five year contract and paid €35 million for the Argentinian midfielder. De Paul has become the highest priced departure of Udinese. He has experienced the La Liga atmosphere when he was playing for Valencia. Atlético Madrid has reinforced their squad, meanwhile, Real Madrid and Barcelona are spending a rough summer window.

Rui Patricio

Portugal's number one joined Jose Mourinho in Roma. AS Roma unveiled the new goalkeeper

. After an impressive spell with

in Premier League, he opens a new chapter in Italy's capital. The 33 years old doesn't change clubs that much, so Roma could be his last big move.

Patricio started his career in Sporting CP where he is the second most capped player. After 12 seasons Patricio left Lisbon and joined the Wolves. The transfer was made with an €18 million fee. In three Premier League seasons, he only missed two fixtures. In the national team of Portugal, he has won the Euro 2016 and 2018-19 Nation League. He also has the record for most goalkeeper appearances for Portugal.

Roma has failed to find a replacement for

, who left for Liverpool in 2018. They first brought Robin Olsen on a €12 million transfer from Copenhagen and Antonio Mirante came as his alternative with €4 million. The plan didn't work and for Paulo Fonseca, Roma signed Pau Lopez from Betis for a reported fee of €23.5 million. Lopez is loaned to Marseille for a vacancy Rui Patricio needs. Roma didn't extend the contract of Antonio Mirante so he is now without a club.

Isco update

Isco is getting closer to leaving Real Madrid and Napoli is a name linked to Isco. The Spanish midfielder is entering the final year of his contract with Real Madrid and if the club doesn’t sell him this summer he is going to leave on a free transfer. Milan in Italy and in London Arsenal and Tottenham are linked to Isco. The unclear future of Napoli captain

has raised the rumors about Isco as his replacement.

The 28 years old has dropped in the pecking order in Real and his form has declined. Luciano Spalletti, the new manager of Napoli, admires Isco and in his tactics, a player like Isco can be very useful. It's not the first time Napoli move rumors are around Isco. When Carlo Ancelotti was Napoli manager Isco and

were the rumors of the new number 10 role. If the actual number 10 and captain leave Napoli, the Italian team will officially start the negotiation.

Joao Mario 

finally left Inter for good. The Portuguese midfielder had long negotiations with Inter, and possible transfer destinations are released and he can join any club for free. In 2016 Mario joined Inter on a €40 million deal with

but he turned out to be Inter's biggest flop ever.

Mario never became the first choice for Spalletti or Conte, and Inter had to send him on loan. After two loan seasons in

, he returned to Inter and went back to Sporting on another loan. None of the team, not even Sporting wanted to buy him out.

made an offer To buy Mario but Sporting claimed that based on his contract Inter is not allowed to negotiate with another Portuguese club. As the final solution, Inter released Mario that he can freely join Benfica without any legal issues.

Nikola Vlasic 

is one of the main transfer targets of Milan. The attacking midfielder of the Russian Premier League club

is the most valued player of his league, according to Transfermarkt, but Milan sees the €30 million price tag high. Negotiations over the 23 years old Croatian is going on between the two clubs.

In Euro 2020 he didn't start the first two matches. The first game he started was the last group stage match against Scotland and he scored the opening goal in the early minutes. The 3-1 victory over Scotland led the Croatians to the round of 16 and Nikola Vlasic was the Star of the Match.

Vlasic had 19 caps for Everton, including 12 Premier League appearances when he was 19 years old. Milan is willing to close the deal on €25 million, but probably it won't be accepted by CSKA because they will ask for more than €30 million. The negotiations are getting close to bringing another Croatian star to Serie A.

Milan loaned Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid for two more seasons. The 22 years old winger was on loan in Milan last season, which turned out to be a hopeful season.

Milan is satisfied with the performance of the Spanish winger and they are ready to give him a bigger role in the upcoming season.

Diaz will wear number 10 that was worn by Hakan Calhanoglu, who left for Inter. Diaz was in the youth squad of Manchester City before

In Euro 2020 he failed to defend Portugal's title but in the end, he was known as the tournament top scorer, both 2020 and overall. The return of Massimiliano Allegri to Juventus and the departure of Antonio Conte and some of Inter's players could be a sign of Scudetto for Ronaldo and Juventus.

Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain were two possible destinations for Ronaldo but Manchester United spent a big money on

's transfer and Paris Saint Germain is busy with other transfer objectives.

Miralem Pjanic

is willing to return to Serie A. Barcelona midfielder has dropped in the pecking order and

prefers Frenkie de Jong and Pedri to play besides Sergio Busquets in the starting line-up. Just like Philippe Coutinho, Pjanic has to find a way out if he wants to play regularly.

The 31 years old midfielder was suggested to Roma but they turned it down. The first reason to reject Pjanic was that Jose Mourinho didn't agree with the move. The next obstacle is the high wage Pjanic demands and Barcelona has to pay a part of it in case he moves to Roma. The last thing is the way Pjanic left Roma which was hurtful for the fans. He joined the rival Juventus by activating the release clause.

Juventus remains Pjanic's most likely destination. Massimiliano Allegri could use his creativity for playmaking, the feature Pirlo's Juventus lacked. The Bosnian last year left on a swap deal with Barcelona's

. Neither side benefited from the deal and both players benched most of the time.

Andrea Pinamonti

Udinese sold their best player and top scorer of the last season to Atlético Madrid. They have to replace Rodrigo de Paul and Andrea Pinamonti is one of their targets. Including an academy player into the squad is beneficial so Inter prefers to keep Pinamonti if they have to pay his wage.

According to the reports, all three players are ready to join Inter but no agreement has been reached between the clubs. Inter's bid for Nandez is a loan with an option to buy. Nerazzurri is willing to include another desired player like Lucien Agoume in the deal, but Cagliari is getting close to signing Dalbert for the left back.

Pau Lopez 

went on a season loan from Roma to

. The Spanish goalkeeper never got close to Alison Becker's successor and even in some points, Antonio Mirante surpassed him. Jose Mourinho wants his compatriot Rui Patricio in Roma's goal and Lopez's departure was inevitable.

There have been some rumors about

moving to Chelsea, but that doesn’t seem to happen any time soon. Chelsea is in need of a striker and it is likely they would sign one this summer. There has been a lot of talks about

leaving Inter Milan, after the departure of Antonio Conte and Achraf Hakimi. Inter does not want to lose the best center forward of the last season, and if they were to sell him they would want at least €100 million.

Romelu Lukaku Update

It seems that after a week from Chelsea’s first offer, Lukaku’s head may have turned around with the new one. Chelsea has offered a price that is really hard for Inter to turn down. Inter has been rejecting every offer and publicly insisting that Lukaku is not going to leave the club this summer, but every player has a price. In this case, the price is €120m. Another reason that might make this transfer happen, is that Chelsea has generously offered to double Lukaku’s current €7.5m salary.

Inter Milan isn’t in need of selling financially, but everyone knows that the club has been struggling to cut costs all summer. Beppe Moratta is known for two things in most of his transfer deals: incoming loans with an option to buy and care for the player's outgoing will if a reasonable offer arrives. This means that now it’s up to Lukaku to decide.

Tiémoué Bakayoko

Juventus has been giving a lot of offers for Manuel Locatelli for a few weeks now, but the negotiations with Sassuolo weren’t successful. The same scenario is repeating every time, Juventus gives an offer and Sassuolo turns it down despite knowing that the 23 year old midfielder wants to leave and only wants to join Juventus. Now Juventus is considering Tiémoué Bakayoko as a plan B to reinforce their midfield before the transfer season ends.

Chelsea’s midfielder has been linked with other Serie A clubs including AC Milan and Napoli, but their interest wasn’t a serious one. Also, Chelsea is looking for a way to offload him. His contract with Chelsea is until the 2022-23 season, and he has been on three season long loans to Milan, Monaco, and Napoli and has played only 20 games in his first season for Chelsea. All three clubs had an option to make the move permanent but none of them did. In addition to Juventus, AC Milan has been considering another season long loan if Pobega wouldn’t be a fit for them.

Tammy Abraham

There are a lot of “if''s about

s transfer. Now Chelsea is almost confident to sign Lukaku and is in direct talks with Inter Milan. So If Lukaku is to leave Inter, they will be signing at least one player for their offensive line. There are rumors about Inter considering Atalanta’s

as Lukaku’s replacement.

The situation is if Lukaku were to join Chelsea, Tammy Abraham would be leaving Chelsea. There have been a few clubs interested in the transfer such as Arsenal, West Ham, and Aston Villa. But yesterday, Aston Villa signed a contract with Danny Ings for £30 million, so they would be out of Abraham’s race. Another “if '' is about Zapata’s situation with Inter. If Zapata would be leaving Atalanta, they would want a striker and Tammy Abraham the suitable option.

In the previous season, Abraham played in 32 games in all the competitions and scored 12 goals for Chelsea. Chelsea would want around £40 million and we have to wait and see how much Inter would pay for Zapata.

Callum Hudson-Odoi

Earlier this summer, there have been reports from Chelsea that the 20 year old winger will be a part of the club for the next season. But a recent report from Telegraph mentioned that Chelsea is listening closely for

offers and even considering them. Sarri has been in need of a winger and due to financial problems they couldn’t sign Eintracht Frankfurt's

. so, they would be considering Chelsea’s winger for a one season alternative to Kostic.

There hasn’t been an official offer yet but Lazio think that they can persuade Chelsea and Hudson-Odoi with regular playtime promise. Callum Hudson-Odoi is a product of Chelsea’s youth system and has been in the senior team from 2017. In the previous season he played in 23 premier league games and scored two goals. He has never played in any other league or even teams before, so Serie A can be an exciting and new experience.

Kaio Jorge

Juventus has finally reached an agreement on

with the Brazilian club Santos until June 2026. Jorge’s contract with Santos was expiring and to avoid a free transfer in January, Santos made the deal with Juventus for a 3 million euros plus an additional million in bonuses.

Juventus transfer window has been really quiet. The only news are about Lucatelli and how their offers get blocked and some rumors about Ronaldo. But after all, Juventus won the race for the 19 year old player while other clubs were offering a contract including AC Milan and

. Juventus took advantage of his expiring contract and half of the 3 will be paid out this year, and the remaining plus the bonuses will be paid in 2022. Also, Santos will be taking 5% of the profits of any future sales. Kaio Jorge will wear the No. 21 jersey this season.

Merih Demiral

signed a contract with Atalanta, so now Cristian Romero can move to Tottenham with no problem. The 23 year old defender joined Atalanta on a loan with an option to buy. The loan is reportedly worth €2.5 million and €25 million plus bonuses for the buy option.

The domino was that Romero was on loan at Atalanta, so for the Tottenham move, Atalanta had to activate the €16 million buy option clause in the contract. Juventus also announced “This operation generates a negative economic effect of approximately € 4.8 million on the 2020-2021 financial year due to the partial write-down of the net book value of the player’s registration rights,” Juventus’ statement said.

Both Romero and Demiral were purchased by Juventus in the 2019 summer transfer window for €26 million and €18 million respectively, and both have been sent on loan to Atalanta in two consecutive summers. Demiral appeared in 15 games (10 starts) last season.

Cristian Romero Update

Because of Demiral loan move to Atalanta, now Romero can join Tottenham. Atalanta activated the buy option clause, which was €16 million, which can be paid in three years. Tottenham transfer manager, Fabio Paratici had an agreement before the Demiral move for Romero. Romero was struggling at

after Juventus purchased his contract and sent him one a season long loan. In the previous season he was on his second loan spell at Atalanta which was a step forward for him. He played in 42 games in all the competitions as Atalanta’s defender and was elected as the best defender of the 2020-21 Serie A season.

Now Atalanta has announced Romero’s season long loan departure to Tottenham with an option to buy for £42.5million. But a five year contract has been already agreed between Romero and the club. He is the third signing of Nuno Espirito Santo this summer after

and Bryan Gil.

Romelu Lukaku Update

It’s official and done. Lukaku joins Chelsea from Inter Milan for €115 million, without any other players in the deal. The 28 year old Belgian now has a 5 year contract with the Blues, and it is worth €12 million, plus add ons. 

For Inter, Lukaku was the most expensive transfer from

in 2019 with €80 million, and now he has the record for the most expensive departure, too. So, in addition to having the best striker of Serie A in the previous season, Inter has made €35 million profit in two years. 

At the beginning of the transfer window, Lukaku stated that he wouldn’t leave this summer, but after Chelsea’s offer to almost double his salary, he changed his mind. Although, he was a fan of the premier league club since childhood, and he has stated that playing for Chelsea always was his dream. Now that Inter has lost one of their strikers, it seems that Lautaro Martinez will stay at the club, despite Tottenham’s €70 million offer. Also, Inter will plan to buy at least one striker.  

was searching for a striker for some time, and his priorities were Haaland and Harry Kane. But, as we get closer to the end of the transfer window, it seems that both will stay at their current clubs.

Edin Dzeko

The deal between Inter, Chelsea, and Atalanta was that if Lukaku would be transferred to Chelsea, Duvan Zapata would move to Inter and Tammy Abraham to Atalanta. But a day after Lukaku’s transfer, it seems that Inter have offered a deal to Roma’s striker and he has agreed on personal terms.

Over the past three years, there were always some rumors about

moving to Inter Milan. Now, after Lukaku’s departure, it seems right. Inter are set to sign a right or full back and two strikers to replace Lukaku. Dzeko has agreed to a two year deal.

After a few weeks of working together, Dzeko has emerged as a key man for Mourinho. But Roma have informed Dzeko he can leave if an important offer comes along. The Bosnian striker won’t move to Inter until Roma find a replacement. They have a long list of options including Gianluca Scamacca, Mauro Icardi, and Andrea Belotti, as well as Arsenal's

. 

Matias Vina Update

After almost a month from Roma’s €13 million offer for Matias Vina, now it is official that the left back joins the club. "I have dreamed of playing in Europe since I was a child, and to be able to achieve that goal while playing in a Roma shirt is something that makes me very proud" Vina stated. The 23 year old is Roma’s third signing in this transfer window so far. He arrives from the Brazilian club, Palmeiras for an initial fee of €13 million.

The deal also includes additional performance-related clauses and Palmeiras will have the right to a percentage of any eventual profit resulting from a future sale of the player. He has a contract until June 30, 2026, and will wear a number 5 shirt this season. He is the replacement for Leonardo Spinazzola, who was heavily injured in Euro 2020 Italy v. Belgium. 

Jens Petter Hauge

After only a season in Italy, the AC Milan striker joins Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. The Norwegian left winger came from Bodo Glimt for €4.2 million with a five year contract. He played 24 games for Milan in all the competitions, scoring five goals and providing one assist. The 21 year old is now on a one year loan deal with an obligation to buy. Eintracht will pay 12 million to AC Milan at the end of the 2021-22 season.

At his new club, he will have more playtime. He didn’t have the backing of the coach Stefano Pioli and was excluded from the AC Milan Europa League squad in the second half of the season. It is a similar situation with

, who had difficulty scoring at San Siro, but a move to Eintracht helped him to find his best form.

Yacine Adli

AC Milan is trying to sell

for €8 million to afford the 21-year-old Ligue 1 star. It has been reported that Milan is very interested in young attacking midfielder

from Bordeaux. Bordeaux president Gerard Lopez stated today that “There are open discussions. It is not wrong to say that Milan is interested and that they are in a good position. We are talking and we will see if this transfer will take place or not in the next few days.” 

Yacine Adli played 36 games last season, scoring two goals and providing five assists. He is a versatile player and is similar to a deep lying playmaker but is defensively sound. He is a product of Paris Saint-Germain and in 2019 joined the Ligue 1 club for a fee of €5.5 million. If he joins Milan, Bordeaux will have to pay 40% of the value of the sale to PSG. The final details will be out soon.

Edin Dzeko Update

Inter Milan successfully got their first striker in the last month of the Serie A summer transfer window of 2021-22. Edin Dzeko has agreed to wait for the club to find a replacement. So, it seems that Roma are getting a new striker, too. Roma have swept in Atalanta and Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham deal, because it doesn’t seem that Inter would purchase Atalanta’s Striker, Zapata.

There are rumors about Abraham not wanting to go to Roma. So, now Roma is without a replacement for Dzeko, but the club allows Dzeko to leave for Inter...immediately, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. The 35 years old Bosnian forward now has a two year contract with Inter Milan and is expected to earn €5 million in salary, and he will only cost Inter €2 million in bonuses. Once again, Beppe Marotta, Inter’s sporting manager, has shown his excellent economic thinking.

Denzel Dumfries

Inter have agreed on terms to sign

, right back. The 25 year old Dutchman is Achraf Hakimi’s replacement. Finding a cheap Hakimi that could perform equally was hard for Inter and took more than a month.

now has a four year contract with Inter. Inter pays €12.5 million, plus €2.5m bonuses.  

Dumfries has 124 caps for PSV, scoring 16 times and 20 assists in all the competitions through three seasons. He spent most of his time at PSV in the attacking half and had 3.53 pressures and 1.94 interceptions per 90. His attacking skills wouldn’t be a problem, but in defense, Milan Skriniar might feel a little more pressure. 

After impressing everyone in Euro 2020 and scoring twice, Everton wanted him as well. But Inter blew their target and there are rumors that the Italian club wants the other Everton target,

.

Lucas Torreira

The Arsenal midfielder is still in Spain, training alone because of the UK travel red list, and wasn’t a part of Arsenal’s preseason. The 25 year old doesn't have a place in

’s squad and doesn't seem to have a problem with

in Spain, but they still have to find him a new team.

Lazio have shown interest in him since June but haven't made an official offer to Arsenal yet. There is a long list of Italian clubs having an eye on him, which includes AC Milan, Torino, and Fiorentina. Lazio's Sporting manager wanted Torreira since he was at Sampdoria. Torreira has spoken openly that his wish is to play for Boca Juniors, but it seems unlikely because of the financial situation. Torreira spent the previous season at Atletico Madrid on loan and had 26 caps in La Liga, scoring once.

Davide Zappacosta

Atalanta is keeping an eye on

, whose contract with Chelsea has only a year left. In the past two seasons, he has been on loan to Roma and

, each for a season. Fiorentina and Genoa have also shown interest in him. All of these Italian clubs only want him on loan and don’t want to pay, but Chelsea won’t agree to a loan because it would have to release him as a free agent next summer. 

Chelsea would ask €4-5 million for the 29 year old right back. In 2017, Chelsea paid a €28 million fee, plus bonuses to Torino. In four years he was at Chelsea for two seasons only,  playing 26 league games and 52 in all competitions. He is an example of Chelsea’s wasteful spending on average talent.

Lorenzo Insigne 

Napoli’s captain could be the second striker that Inter Milan is searching for. It’s been reported that they are considering Lorenzo Insigne as the second replacement for Romelu Lukaku. It’s been reported that they are prepared to offer

as part of the €15 million deal to Napoli. 

Insigne will be out of a contract in June 2022. Napoli have requested 25 to 30 million euros but Inter are hoping to lower the price by exchanging a player. They also have offered a four year contract and €6 million net per season plus bonuses to the 30 year old striker. Sanchez’s €7 million salary might have been a problem for Napoli at the time. 

Insigne has played nine seasons for the club and in almost 400 games, he has scored 109 goals in all competitions. The Italian striker would like to stay but contract talks are reported to have stalled between him and his club. So, he will be open to greater salaries from other clubs. If Napoli can’t agree on a new deal until June 2022, Inter can make the transfer free next summer.

Tammy Abraham Update

Roma and Chelsea have agreed on a permanent deal with a buy back clause for Tammy Abraham, but the 24 year old striker has asked for more time to decide. He still wants to stay in the Premier League and is hoping that Arsenal have made a concrete offer. 

Roma’s offer includes €40 million, as well as a buy back clause and no talk of loans. Although, the exact method of payment is not clear yet, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. Abraham spoke to Mourinho, and the club wants his final decision by the end of the week. Mikel Arteta is said to be wanting Abraham as much as Mourinho and even offers him a higher salary than Roma.  

The previous deal for the striker was a permanent €40 million deal to Atalanta, but if Duvan Zapata would join Inter Milan. But after signing Dzeko and news about Lorenzo Insigne, that seems really unlikely.

Cristiano Ronaldo Update

From the beginning of the summer transfer window, there have been a lot of rumors about Ronaldo, wanting to leave Juventus. But every time both himself and the club have denied it. Considering Allegri’s special ways of management and tactics, one can not cross all rumors from one’s mind.

Paris Saint-Germain was one of his most possible options until Leo Messi’s move. The French club was one of the few clubs in Europe that could afford him. Ronaldo’s contract will end in eleven months and they don’t seem to offer a new one.

’s Inter Miami is another club, which actually is very interested in signing him. The second option is Sporting Lisbon, where he started his career. 

Radja Nainggolan Update

Inter ended the 33 year old’s contract by mutual agreement and now he is heading back home. has signed for Belgian club

as a free agent after Inter couldn’t make a deal with the two clubs interested in him, Cagliari and Besiktas.

“It’s nice to be back here,” Nainggolan stated, “I chose Antwerp because the president wanted me strongly and the project is very interesting. “I grew up with [Beerschot] and I will always be grateful,” he said, “but in your career, you have to make choices and decisions. “Mine is certainly not a choice against the Beerschot fans, but it is a choice for me, for my career, to return home after being away for 16 years.”

For the past two seasons, Nainggolan was on loan at Cagliari and had 51 caps, scoring seven goals in all the competitions. His high salary is one of the reasons that Cagliari didn’t want to sign him and also a reason for Inter to terminate his contract.

Tammy Abraham Update

Finally, after a lot of hesitation, Tammy Abraham agreed to a transfer to Roma. He was hoping to stay in the Premier League and was waiting for Arsenal to steal Roma’s deal with Chelsea. 

The deal includes a five year permanent contract and no loans. AS Roma have to pay €40 million, plus €5m in add ons, which is a record in Giallorossi’s signings history. The transfer fee is set to be paid in multiple installments. The contract has a buy back clause which is worth €80 million, but it will be valid only from June 2023. This means Roma will be making a €40 million profit on the striker two seasons from now. Roma will have to pay €4/5m net salary to Abraham. 

At the age of 23, he is one of the best young strikers in football and has already led Chelsea’s scoring charts across all competitions twice. Of course, he is not Romelu Lukaku but has the potential to become like him in the right squad. On the other hand, signing a young striker can be a gamble, and many English players have had hard times becoming adaptive to the ways of Serie A. But, we have to wait and see what plans Mourinho has for Tammy Abraham.

Juan Jesus

will be united with his former boss Luciano Spalletti on a one year contract. The 30 year old defender’s contract with Roma expired this summer and he is joining Napoli on a free transfer. In 2016, he was on loan to Roma for a season and after that, Roma paid a total of €10 million for the defender and made the deal permanent. In five seasons he was part of the squad in 102 games. Before Roma, he was at Inter Milan for four years and had 142 appearances. 

He wasn’t favorable with the former Roma boss,

, in the past two seasons and the club has tried desperately to sell the player and offload his large salary. He refused multiple offers, preferring to stay at the club. But the new Roma boss is known for wanting young players in his squad so they released him at the beginning of the summer transfer window.

Cristiano Ronaldo Update

Now the news has turned, and it seems that the rumors since the beginning of the transfer window were true. According to Il Corriere, Ronaldo is offering himself to Manchester City and wants to leave Turin. Although everyone at Juventus is denying everything, we all know that Man City is one of the few clubs that can afford to actually spend money. Man City has been after Tottenham’s Harry Kane for some time now, but the deal is not going very well. Tottenham doesn’t want to lose its star, no matter how much money Man City is willing to offer. 

Ronaldo’s possible destination was PSG before Messi’s shocking move to Paris. Also, PSG does not want to let Kylian Mbappé go to Real Madrid. El Chiringuito has reported that Real Madrid manager

also wants Ronaldo back at the club. So, if Florentino Perez wants Mbappé, that means he can afford to pay Ronaldo’s high salary like Man City. Of course, all we have are rumors now; but from a month ago, they seem more probable. 

Manuel Locatelli Update

After more than a month of back to back negotiations and many proposals, finally, the deal is done. Juventus’ number one target this summer transfer, now has a free two year loan contract. The contract includes an obligation to buy for €25 million in the 2023 summer. Also, €12.5 million has been agreed on bonuses, which makes the potential value of the deal €37.5 million when it is all done.

The agreement with the player is a five-year contract through 2026 and a net salary of €3 million per season, which would be nearly three times as much as he made at Sassuolo this past season. Sassuolo was asking for €40 million for the 23 year old and the deal will satisfy them in two years. Locatelli has worked with Max Allegri before in Milan when he was 15 years old and a part of the AC Milan youth team. Now he is what really Juventus need in midfield, with his high passing range and quick thinking.

Pedro Rodriguez

Pedro was one of the many players Roma has released in this transfer window which wouldn’t go along with Mourinho, and now he joins Lazio as a free agent. In 40 years, this is the first transfer between the two cross city rivals. 

The 34 year old winger signed a three year deal from Chelsea last summer for free. Sarri had been Pedro’s coach before, at Chelsea in 2018, and was keen to work with him again. Pedro has agreed to a two year deal with Lazio. After a strong start for Roma, his performance has worsened due to injuries and conflicts with the former coach of the club, Fonseca. Lazio will not have to pay Roma any transfer fee but will take on the Spaniard's current wages of around 4 million euros per year, plus bonuses depending on team performances next season.

In the previous season, Pedro had been on the squad for 40 games in all competitions and scored 6 times. From 2015 to 2020 he has played 137 games for Chelsea, scoring 29 goals. Before that, he was in the Barcelona squad for seven seasons, played in 204 games, and scored 58 goals.

Marcus Thuram

Gladbach's

has been offered to Inter by the super agent, Mino Raiola.

’s forward desire is to play in Serie A. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the club has asked for around €25 to €30 million. But Inter Milan’s initial offer was €20 million, plus bonuses of €5 million. 

The distance between Inter’s offer and Gladbach’s price does not look to be steep and the deal could be close. Less than two weeks remain before the transfer window ends and Inter Milan is in need of another Romelu Lukaku’s replacement. Inter is still in talks with Lazio for Joaquin Correa as well. Thuram’s contract with the German club is until 2022 and the fee was €12 million. In two seasons, he had 62 caps and scored 18 goals.

Alessandro Florenzi

Once

came back from Euro 2020, it was clear that José Mourinho wanted him gone. He wasn’t even included in the summer training and trained on his own. Florenzi was once presumed to be the next captain of Roma but instead, he has gone on his third loan in a row. He was loaned to PSG the previous season and played 211 games, scoring two goals. PSG decided to not activate the 60 million euros buy option clause and instead they purchased former Inter full back, Achraf Hakimi. 

The 30 year old right back will now join AC Milan on a one year loan deal until June 30, 2022. This will be his third consecutive loan spell and Milan will pay 1 million euros for the loan and the buy out clause is set at 4.5 million euros. It’s been reported that Florenzi has forfeited one month’s salary or about 400,000 euros to push the deal. He will wear the number 25 shirt throughout the season and is going to be the alternative for Davide Calabria.

Pietro Pellegri 

The third striker role behind Zlatan and Olivier Giroud has filled now in AC Milan. Now, the 20 year old striker from AC Monaco has a one year loan deal with an option to buy. He must renew his contract with Monaco after 2022 to make this deal work. He will be back in Italy after three and a half years in France. He had lots of injuries during his Monaco spell and appeared in only 23 games, scoring two times.  

According to Gianluca Di Marzio “The French club, therefore, only has to endorse the loan of €1m and the option at €6m, which becomes an obligation for a not very high number of appearances. There is also €1m in bonuses for qualifying for the Champions League and a percentage on a future resale.”

Davide Zappacosta Update 

Atalanta has agreed and now Zappacosta will transfer to Serie A. While earlier reports were only about another loan, today’s news speaks of a permanent loan. Chelsea would have to release him free in the next summer and another loan would have cost them. Atalanta will pay €10m for his four year contract and to bring back the 29-year-old defender. It is the third contract Zappacosta has signed with Atalanta. The last time was in the 2014-15 season, in which he appeared in 30 games, scoring 3 times. He will wear the number 77 shirt for Atalanta. 

Zappacosta was never quite able to establish himself at Chelsea, but he played a key role in winning two trophies in his first two years at the club, the 2018 FA Cup and the 2019 Europa League.

Lucas Torreira Update 

Fiorentina has signed Torreira on a season long loan with an option to buy. Fiorentina doesn’t have two of their midfielders available for this season as Mattia Caldara was loaned to Fiorenzuola and Valentin Eysseric went to Kasimpasa as a free agent. 

The 25 year old will return to Serie A after a difficult spell at Arsenal. Fiorentina has to pay a fee of €1.5 million for the loan, with a further €15 million due at the season’s end if the Viola so chooses him to stay. 

Torreira is a Regista and does two things very well: passing the ball forward through the lines and pressing. The criticisms which he received in England were about not winning aerial battles and his goal scoring abilities. Signed as a holding midfielder, he lost the trust of

in his second season and after a couple of injuries, he was sidelined. But, returning to Italy might do well for him and help him regain his form again.

Joaquin Correa

Inter Milan has found their second Lukaku replacement. Inter has completed the signing of the 27 year old Lazio striker on a loan with an obligation to buy for €30 million. The Argentine forward has signed a four-year contract believed to be worth around €3.5m per season. He will reunite with his former Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi in Milan. He was preferred to Torino’s Andrea Belotti, which was Inter’s plan B in case Lazio wouldn’t agree on the deal.  

In three seasons, Correa has played 117 games for Lazio, scoring 30 goals. Before that, he had spells in La Liga’s Sevilla and Sampdoria each for two seasons. The forward has been capped eight times by the Argentina national team and has scored twice, against Singapore and Bolivia. 

Correa had asked for a move to Roma twice this summer but they couldn’t reach an agreement. The details of his contract with Inter are €5 million for the loan, plus €1 million in add-ons, both payable within a year. Next summer they will have three years to pay €25 million.

Alvaro Odriozola 

joins Fiorentina on loan for the 2021-22 season. The deal has no buy option regardless of the player’s performance and Fiorentina will reportedly pay Odriozola’s full salary. The 25 year old right back is the third choice at Real Madrid and last season, he only played in 16 games for the club in all competitions. The season before that, he was loaned to Bayern Munich in January and he only got five games to play, of which three of them were in Bundesliga. 

The Viola hasn’t been successful at Davide Zappacosta, who joined Atalanta a few days ago. He was meant to be

s replacement, who was loaned to Marseille for the season. This will be Odriozola’s first time in Serie A and can be a good experience, in addition to more playtime than Real. His contract with Real Madrid will expire in 2024 and his deal with Fiorentina is just for a season. So, with Dani Carvajal and

in line for the position, it doesn’t seem that Odriozola would get much time on the pitch for his last two seasons at Real. 

Tiémoué Bakayoko Update 

Finally, AC Milan and Chelsea have agreed on a complicated two year loan deal for the 27 year old midfielder. Chelsea’s desperation for letting Bakayoko go was one of the reasons that the agreement took so long. The contract has a lot of conditions. What is clear is that Bakayoko will spend the 2021-22 season in Milan again.

The deal has an option to buy, which could be turned into an obligation if some unnamed conditions were met. It is a two year loan, so Chelsea will extend his contract until 2024, instead of 2023. The buy option or obligation is expected to be around €15-20 million, with a loan fee to begin things at around €500k, but maybe as high as €1.5m. At first, Chelsea wanted  €30 million but used their desperation and lack of having leverage in the deal. Juventus also was interested in signing him, but it was their plan B in case the Locatelli deal fell apart.

Cristiano Ronaldo Update

It is official now. Ronaldo is heading back to Manchester. Juventus remained quiet all along the process. We had to learn it from Manchester United's announcement that after a decade, Ronaldo is coming back to Old Trafford. At first, it looked like he was heading to Manchester City but they pulled out of the deal eventually. 

It was almost clear that Juventus’ new coach wouldn’t be bothered if Ronaldo were to leave. Allegri’s style of management is different from the other coaches that Ronaldo had. Allegri wouldn't choose a formation for Ronaldo to be its center. 

The deal is too good for United and Juventus’ loss is really obvious. Manchester City will pay an initial €15 million transfer fee set to be paid over five (!!!) years and another €8 million in add-ons included, pushing the total value of everything to a maximum of €23 million. The fee is nowhere near the €28 million Juve was hoping for.

Moise Kean Update 

Moise Kean will be back at Juventus because of the club’s urgent need to replace Ronaldo. The 21 year old joined Everton in 2019 with a £27 million move from Juventus, but couldn’t find his place in the team. In his first season, he played in 33 games scoring only two goals. For the next season, he was loaned to Paris Saint-Germain and scored 17 times. He made an immediate impact and won the French Cup and the French Super Cup, finishing runners-up in Ligue 1 and losing in the semifinals of the Champions League.

He had not such a great time in the Premier League and maybe in Serie A he could shine again like in France. Kean now has a two year loan deal with Juventus with an obligation to buy which will cost the club €28 million plus another €3 million in add-ons and it is payable in three years.

He will remain a year on loan at Bordeaux, given the signing of Bakayoko from Chelsea this summer. Milan has to pay €10 million for the permanent contract. 

Adli is a product of the PSG youth system and had his professional debut in the PSG main squad. He then joined Bordeaux in 2019, on a four year and a half deal. In three seasons he played in 68 games and scored five goals in all competitions. He started as an attacking midfielder but was better in deeper areas. He is a young talent and it has been predicted that he will have a bright future.

Last season

managed to score nine goals in 37 appearances. He played a key role in taking Giovanni Stroppa's Squali back to Serie A, scoring six goals and providing six assists in his debut season in Italy's second tier. In 2017, he joined Gozzano and led them to promotion to Serie C for the first time in the club's history. AC Milan was in need of increasing their depth up front and replacing Jens Petter Hauge and Hakan Calhanoglu. We all know that it is a risk to sign someone with little experience in Serie A at the age of 30, but he has shown nothing but progress. 

Robin Olsen 

With the signing of Rui Patricio, the 31 year old goalkeeper is going on his third loan, since joining Roma to replace Alisson Becker. He joined Roma in 2018 and played a season in 35 games. Then he was loaned to Cagliari, playing in 19 games, and in the previous season he was on a year long loan at Everton. At Everton, he only got to play 11 games, of which 7 of them were in the Premier League.

For the 2021-22 season, he joins the Championship side,

on a year long loan, where he might get more playtime. Olsen joined Roma from FC Copenhagen in 2018 for a fee of around £10 million. However, he has since fallen out of favor in the Italian capital. But at the international level, he has appeared in 52 games for Sweden’s national team since 2015. He has been awarded the Sweden goalkeeper of the year trophy in four consecutive years from 2016 to 2019. 

André-Frank Zambo Anguissa 

is the most notable signing of Napoli this summer. He has signed a year long loan deal with Napoli from Fulham. The deal includes a buy option which is worth €15 million. Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa has completed his move from Fulham to Napoli, on loan with the option to buy for €15m. There had been interests from the Premier League and elsewhere, but it is Napoli who have secured his signature.

Fulham spent €25m to sign Anguissa from Olympique Marseille in 2018. The Cameroonian had 22 Premier League appearances and 3 caps in League Cup in his first season with the Whites. They finished in 19th place and were relegated to Championship. He asked to move on following their relegation from the Premier League to the Championship. He already had a loan spell with Villareal in the 2019-20 season where he played in 39 games and scored 2 goals. After returning to the Premier League, Anguissa was the most capped player of the 2020-21 season but unfortunately, Fulham was relegated again.
