Milan delays Inacio, Juventus pushes for renewal, only one way
From a surplus to a pillar of Luciano Spalletti, DOUGLAS LUIZ is at the centre of two opposite scenarios: the JUVENTUS THINKS about renewing until 2030 with a salary of €4.5 million, while the MILAN has postponed the purchase of INACIO, promising a NEW attempt in January with an offer of around €40 million WITH the same intention.
The renewal of Douglas Luiz
The Brazilian midfielder spent last season on loan in the Premier League, first at Nottingham Forest and then at Aston Villa. Despite squad injuries, he collected 486 minutes in six matches, including the 5‑0 against Nec, and three full games against Parma, Sassuolo and Atalanta. His presence was constant both in the league and in the Europa League.
According to Tuttosport, the JUVENTUS has offered DOUGLAS LUIZ an extension until 2030 with an unchanged salary of €4.5 million per season. The goal is to reduce the contract's impact on the budget, keeping the player as a key pillar. The Tuscan coach has already tested the midfielder since the pre‑season.
The transfer of Gonçalo Inacio
The Portuguese defender of Sporting has been at the centre of rumours about a possible move to the MILAN during the summer window. The offer, valued at around €40 million, was rejected due to the lack of a like‑for‑like replacement, a condition imposed by the Portuguese club. For January the red‑and‑black management plans to present a NEW attempt WITH the same amount, in line with the technical priorities of coach Ruben Amorim.
Patric's future at Lazio
The Spanish defender PATRIC is one step away from leaving the LAZIO, with an offer from Al‑Ittifaq, a team coached by former Juventus player Paolo MONTERO. In the Dubai squad also feature former striker Mario Balotelli and former Juventus player Douglas Costa, while MENDY lights up the market with interest in other defenders. The LAZIO is considering a mutual termination of the contract expiring in June, without compensation for the club.
Inter, Milan and Lazio on the 2007‑born talent
INTER, MILAN and LAZIO have intensified the search for young TALENT CLASS OF 2007, aiming for long‑term reinforcements. The scouts of the three clubs have identified several prospects born in 2007, considered ready to make the step up. The race to secure these players could influence the upcoming transfer windows.
The role of Sport and Sporting
The name Sport appeared in the reports linked to Inacio's transfer, highlighting the interest of sports media in the negotiation. Sporting, the defender's parent club, has confirmed the need to find a replacement before finalising the deal. The negotiation remains open until January.
The contrast between the JUVENTUS's desire to consolidate an already established player and the MILAN's delay on a strategic purchase highlights different approaches in resource management. While the LAZIO is considering a separation, the top clubs continue to operate in the market with well‑calibrated deals.
