Serie A rush: Juventus lose Openda, Inter renews, Roma chases Nusa

Just under a month before the Serie A opening weekend on August 22‑23, Juve-Openda off as Juventus prepare to loan Loïs Openda, Inter double renewal proceeds with contracts for Yann Bisseck and Carlos Augusto, and Roma-Nusa negotiations intensify for Norwegian winger Antonio Nusa.

Loïs Openda is close to a paid loan to Lyon with an option to buy. The future purchase price has not been set and the wage split will see Lyon covering only a small part while Juventus contributes the balance. The green light could arrive as early as the beginning of next week, giving the Belgian striker a chance to relaunch after a difficult season in black and white.

Inter are one step away from extending German defender Yann Bisseck to 2031, confirming the club’s faith in a player who has grown markedly in recent seasons. At the same time, contract talks with midfielder Carlos Augusto are nearing an agreement that would keep him at the Nerazzurri until 2030, reinforcing the defensive structure with physicality, versatility and reliability.

Roma have pushed hard for Antonio Nusa after a meeting between sporting director D’Amico and the winger’s agent yesterday. Leipzig’s asking price of around €60 million is negotiable but requires quick timing, and Newcastle are also reported to be interested, making the race competitive.

Allegri’s plans at Napoli have shifted after Alessandro Buongiorno’s three‑month lay‑off following knee surgery. Rafa Marin is seen as an immediate defensive solution, though his stay is not yet certain, while Mathías Olivera is being considered as a centre‑back option. Napoli may return to the market for a more solid natural alternative.

Al Romagnoli remains a Lazio player for now, training with the club after a potential move to Al Sadd fell through despite medical tests. He said, “From today I’m training with Lazio, let’s see what happens,” indicating the deal is still pending.

Directors across Serie A continue to work hard in the transfer market while teams train at their camps ahead of the first friendlies. All five of the Azzurri’s pre‑season matches are live on OneFootball, and fans are encouraged to follow Napoli’s training camp closely.
