Lunch Break: Juve open the Sørloth table as Milan dismantle
A red-hot midday on the market: Juventus push on several fronts, Milan continue their mass sell-off and Inter lock down Palestra. At Napoli, the work is to keep De Bruyne.
Juventus are the busiest side this morning. After confirming Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa, the Bianconeri are closing in on Alexander Sørloth: according to Calciomercato.com, Atlético Madrid have opened the door and talks are warming up. Mingueza from Celta Vigo and Senesi from Bournemouth remain on the agenda, while on the way out there is the suggestion of Vlahovic heading to Barcelona.
At Inter the traffic flows both ways: Filippo Stankovic returns, while Denzel Dumfries is now a step away from Real Madrid. To strengthen the squad the Nerazzurri are pushing for Atalanta's Matteo Palestra: Newcastle and Manchester City have come knocking, but — Calciomercato.com reports — the youngster only wants Inter, with Marotta urging calm ("we like him, but..."). In the background, a possible Frattesi-Mancini swap with Roma.
Milan press on with their rebuild: out go Noah Okafor (Leeds), Lorenzo Colombo (Genoa), Yunus Musah (Atalanta) and Samuel Chukwueze (Fulham). And watch the goalkeeping spot: Calciomercato.com flags a Juventus contact with Maignan, with the Rossoneri in a delicate moment.
A day of official deals at Napoli: in come Rasmus Højlund from Manchester United and Miguel Gutiérrez from Girona, with Joao Gomes closing in from Wolverhampton and Spinazzola on his way out. Calciomercato.com adds that the club is working to keep Kevin De Bruyne, tipped as the leader of the project.
Opposite faces for Roma and Lazio: the Giallorossi land official signings Sangaré, Malen and Le Fée, await Zaragoza from Bayern and keep an eye on Greenwood; Lazio, by contrast, are selling (Vecino, Mandas, Muriqi) and strengthening with Pedraza from Villarreal. Abroad, Manchester United rebuild their attack with Mbeumo and Cunha, while Newcastle sell Anthony Gordon to Barcelona. We'll be back this afternoon with the Focus.
