Juventus eyes Palmisani and Bakola; Inter evaluates Romano and Beltran
In Juventus' operational centre, executives are leafing through dossiers on promising youngsters: Samuele Inacio of Borussia Dortmund is at the centre of interest, while midfielder Bakola, bought by Sassuolo in January for ten million euros, and defender Palmisani, renewed until 2031, are already under observation.
Vicario, arrived on loan from Tottenham with a buy‑out clause set at eight million euros, remains Juventus' priority for the goalkeeper position. At the same time, the club has opened initial talks to assess defender Palmisani, captain of Frosinone and of Baldini's Under‑21.
An experienced alternative is represented by Brazilian striker Alisson, who will become a free agent from Liverpool at the end of the season. His potential signing could provide the club with a top‑level solution between the posts.
Midfield Objective
Juventus' midfield is already focused on Bakola, bought by Sassuolo last January for ten million euros from Marseille. Coach Carnevali considers him a key player, but Roma has expressed interest, seeing him as a future heir to Manu Koné.
For January, Juventus has reopened the channel with Rayan Aït‑Nouri, left‑winger of Manchester City, who is currently getting little game time in England. The club intends to assess a possible loan, possibly accompanied by a buy‑out clause.
Inter's Moves
Inter, meanwhile, is working on the renewals of Dimarco and Cala, the latter still under negotiation. The club has also shown concrete interest in midfielder Alessandro Romano, currently on loan at Cagliari with a conditional obligation from Roma for five million euros.
Romano's value has more than doubled and his call‑up to the national team confirms his rise. Inter sees him as a possible alternative to Cala for the midfield.
In the goalkeeper department, Inter is scouting the South American market, with particular attention to Santiago Beltran, River Plate goalkeeper born in 2004, whose contract expires on 31 December 2027. Manchester United has also turned the spotlight on him.
According to Stankovic, Inter spent twenty‑three million euros to re‑acquire him from Brugge in the last window. Before the transfer window closed, the club rejected a forty‑million‑euro offer from Brentford, leaving the possibility of a loan in January open.
