Juve miss out on Inacio as Besiktas snap up Italiano

With the Serie BKT on a twenty‑day pause, the transfer market re‑emerges. Juventus‑Inacio hopes fade as Samuele Inacio remains tied to Borussia Dortmund until 2029, while Napoli‑Italiano’s planned appointment collapses and Besiktas secure Italian coach Vincenzo Italiano within two days.

Juventus chase Dortmund striker

Juventus set their sights on Samuele Inacio, the 2008‑born Borussia Dortmund talent, even requesting information from the German club, Atalanta’s academy, broke into the first team in the second half of last season and scored his first Bundesliga goal against Eintracht Frankfurt. Dortmund answered by extending his contract until 30 June 2029, effectively closing the door on an immediate departure.

AC Milan are also weighing a new deal for Adrien Rabiot. Head coach Stefano Amorim confirmed the club are thinking about extending the midfielder’s contract, which runs until 2028, with a view to reach at least 2030. Chairman Gerry Cardinale will personally handle the negotiations. Rabiot arrived from Marseille in 2025, quickly became a leader and, at 31, could spend the most important part of his career in the Rossoneri shirt.

Inter weigh Calhanoglu’s future

Hakan Calhanoglu’s future at Inter remains uncertain. His current deal expires on 30 June 2027 and renewal talks have not yet begun, including a recent adductor problem that saw him miss matches against Udinese and Roma, may influence the club’s assessment. The player himself said his future depends on the club and that no contact has been made about a new contract.

Besiktas secure Italian coach

Besiktas president Serdar Adali revealed that an agreement with Napoli had already been reached for Vincenzo Italiano before the deal fell through. When the Napoli contract collapsed, Besiktas moved quickly, saying: “We left for Italy right away and in two days we spoke and brought him here.” Adali thanked Aurelio De Laurentiis for indirectly facilitating the move.

Roma continue to monitor young talent, with French midfielder Kévin Bakola (born 2008, Sassuolo) and Georgian winger Giorgi Kvernadze (Frosinone) on their radar. Bakola is seen as a long‑term investment, while Kvernadze could move as early as January; Napoli have also expressed interest in the Georgian.

Lazio see the long break as an opportunity for Andrea Pinamonti to improve. The striker has logged just 108 minutes in four appearances without scoring and will now have three weeks to work on his physical condition and adapt to Gennaro Gattuso’s system.
