Juventus revives Goretzka pursuit as Serie A’s summer window heats up

Juventus have reignited contact with Leon Goretzka as the Serie A transfer window swings open. The German midfielder’s representatives have confirmed ongoing discussions, with Goretzka retaining multiple offers across Europe and beyond. Romano stressed that Goretzka prioritises project over money, describing Juventus as a credible destination among several options. The Bianconeri’s focus remains on securing a striker and goalkeeper, but Goretzka’s availability keeps him in the frame.

Milan’s pursuit of Mario Gila centres on a headline-grabbing salary package. Di Marzio revealed the Rossoneri tabled an offer worth €5–5.5 million net per season, a figure exceeding Christian Pulisic’s earnings. The deal’s feasibility stems from Italy’s Growth Decree, which slashes gross salary costs by roughly 25%—around €2.5 million—despite the decree’s 2024 abolition for new signings.

Inter’s midfield rebuild faces a €35 million obstacle for Daniele Pisilli. Corriere dello Sport reports Roma’s valuation for the midfielder has reached €35 million, a figure Inter may struggle to match. The Nerazzurri’s need to replace Marco Asllani, Benjamin Pavard, and Davide Frattesi adds urgency to their search, with Pisilli among preferred targets.

Napoli are weighing up a goalkeeper swap involving Milinković-Savić. Il Mattino reports the Partenopei could offload Sergej Milinković-Savić for around €20 million, with Kepa Arrizabalaga a potential replacement. Arsenal’s valuation for Kepa stands at €6 million, while his €3.5 million salary remains a significant outlay.

Roma’s race for Mason Greenwood escalates with a €45 million bid on the table. Corriere dello Sport notes Roma’s total offer includes bonuses and a small percentage on any future resale, but Atletico Madrid lurk as competitors. The Spanish side could emerge if they offload Julián Álvarez or Alexander Sørloth in time, potentially complicating Roma’s pursuit.

Lazio’s move for Roberto Piccoli hinges on a loan-with-option formula. Tuttosport reports the Biancocelesti are advancing talks for the forward, though Fiorentina prefer a loan-to-buy deal with performance-based triggers. The Viola’s stance complicates Lazio’s pursuit, with Federico Chiesa’s teammate now a less likely option following Massimiliano Allegri’s preseason assessment of Niccolò Lucca.

Cristian Volpato leaves Fiorentina’s door ajar but insists he remains a Sassuolo player. The Australian forward told Diretta.it that Fiorentina’s project appeals to him, citing Viola Park’s facilities and his familiarity with the club. However, he stressed his current focus is on holiday and switching off before any decisions, with his agents handling negotiations.
