Milan chase Alex Scott while Juventus guard €150m Yildiz price

On the day Lionel Messi posted his farewell video to the national team, Serie A clubs prepared for the league’s restart, with AC Milan targeting Bournemouth’s Alex Scott and Real Madrid’s Endrick, while Juventus announced a price tag of close to €150 million for Turkish midfielder Yildiz.

Juventus set Yildiz price near €150 million

Transfer specialist Gianluca Di Marzio told BetNews that Juventus value the Turkish player at around €150 million. He added that Arsenal and Tottenham showed genuine interest in recent windows, but the club has consistently rebuffed every approach. The high fee reflects Juventus’ determination to retain Yildiz despite external pressure.

Milan eye Alex Scott and chase Endrick

According to TMW, AC Milan are scouting for a successor to Luka Modrić and have identified 2003‑born Alex Scott of Bournemouth as a prime candidate. Scott is a key player for the Cherries, with his contract running until 2028, offering Milan a chance to negotiate a lower fee this summer.

Matteo Moretto reported that Milan also have a slight edge over Roma in the race for Endrick, thanks to Cardinale’s strong relationship with the Roc Nation agency. The Brazilian striker is receiving limited minutes at Real Madrid and could depart on loan, though the final decision rests with him.

Other transfer chatter and player comments

Inter midfielder Andy Diouf, speaking from France’s training camp, said: “I’m enjoying myself as long as I’m on the pitch, whether on the left or the right, I try to do my best.” L’Équipe noted that his earlier ambition to return to midfield, expressed in mid‑September, marked a modest step back in his public statements.

revealed that Napoli are considering selling Sofyan Anguissa in the January window after contract extension talks stalled. The club aims to secure a fee and reduce wages before Anguissa’s contract expires at the end of the season, which would otherwise see him leave on a free transfer.

Both AC Milan and Roma are positioned as frontrunners to secure Endrick on loan in January if Real Madrid decides to move him, a friend of Endrick from their time together with the Brazilian national team, while Milan continue to rely on Cardinale’s link to Roc Nation.

In an interview with ’s Crazy Calcio Show, Goran Pandev explained his departure from Lazio, describing a drawn‑out contract renewal process that saw him wait up to 24 hours for Lotito without a meeting. He said the club meant everything to him, but the prolonged negotiations forced his exit.

Fiorentina forward Beto told Sky Sport that he feels calmer and more aggressive since moving from Udine, praising Viola Park and noting that Serie A has become more demanding, shifting from a defensive focus to a more dynamic style. He added that he enjoys scoring, especially when the goal reflects his own style.
