Italian newspapers on Wednesday led with celebrations of the nation’s athletic achievements at the European Championships, where swimmers and runners claimed multiple medals. However, the sports pages also devoted significant coverage to an increasingly active transfer window across Serie A’s top clubs.
Inter Milan has emerged as the most aggressive player in the market, with Djed Spence identified as the leading target to fill the right wing-back position. Negotiations between the club and Spence’s representatives have progressed to personal terms, while negotiations over transfer fees are nearing completion at approximately €30 million. The Italian giants are also evaluating additional options on the opposite flank and exploring moves for other positions. Funding these acquisitions hinges on the departure of midfielder Davide Frattesi, while defender Luis Henrique is set to depart for Roma.
Juventus continues squad strengthening following a convincing pre-season performance against Palermo. Manager Luciano Spalletti expressed satisfaction with the team’s progress, indicating that midfielder Douglas Luiz will remain at the club. The Turin-based side is actively pursuing defender Jhon Lucumí and preparing additional offers for Bologna targets. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Zion Suzuki’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain creates space for Juventus to pursue their preferred goalkeeper solution.
Roma and Napoli are similarly engaged in transfer activity. Roma is advancing negotiations for Porto’s Rodrigo Mora and Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie while completing the acquisition of Henrique. Napoli has confirmed Romelu Lukaku’s departure to Fenerbahçe and is now positioned to pursue Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus as a replacement.
