Stop transfers: Juventus and Inter focus on free‑transfer
In Juventus' sports centre, the executives leaf through a list of names as the summer calendar approaches, and the word "Stop" echoes through the corridors, signalling that the market will have no pauses.
Luxury free‑transfer for Juventus
Juventus, EYES ON TWO POSSIBLE LUXURY FREE‑AGENTS FOR THE SUMMER: BRAHIM DIAZ AND KOVACIC. The black‑and‑white club is also considering HOJBJERG, SESKO and VAN DIJK, thus confirming interest in TWO high‑profile players. EVEN if the zero‑parameter market is still uncertain, the management wants to secure the best opportunities.
Alessandro Romano at the centre of Inter
INTER IS ALREADY THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE: ROMANO IS VERY LIKED, A SUMMER OFFER TO CAGLIARI POSSIBLE. The nerazzurra club is evaluating a purchase for around 5‑7 million euros, with an estimated value of at least 20 million, to replace CALHANOGLU, whose contract remains without renewal.
Other clubs watch the young talents
On the radar of other clubs appear JACOBO RAMON, who attracts the interest of CHELSEA and MANCHESTER UNITED, while ARSENAL seems to be cooling off. BOLOGNA has proposed HYSAJ, showing that the race for youngsters is not only a Juventus and Inter matter.
Juventus' strategy is based on the zero‑parameter market: Zeki Celik arrived at ZERO cost thanks to Ricky Massara, and the new salary cap remains set at 7 million, an amount recognised for Kenan Yildiz after the renewal. John Elkann has made available 100 million euros for the market, with the priority of returning to the Champions League.
Among the names monitored for defence stand out Oumar Solet of Udinese and David Raum of Leipzig, born in 1998, who could attract the interest of numerous top clubs should he not find a renewal agreement. Tyrick Mitchell of Crystal Palace is on the list, as is Stanislav Lobotka, a possible opportunity if Napoli does not exercise the renewal option until 2028.
In attack, besides Brahim Diaz, Juventus has considered Jean‑Philippe Mateta of Crystal Palace, but set him aside for the summer. Among the potential future signings are also Benjamin Sesko, Brian Brobbey and Florian Balogun, all regarded as possible valuable pieces for the next season.
FIORENTINA fears losing ZERO DODO, and in November a DECISIVE meeting WITH AGENTS is scheduled to define the future of some players. The entire TRANSFER MARKET scene is buzzing, with clubs moving ahead to secure contracts before the competition.
