Lunch Break: Inter sort the defence, Juve eye Brahim Diaz and Stones

Inter have fixed their backline in a single morning: Bastoni and Bisseck stay, Solet arrives from Udinese and Provedel is one step away in goal. Meanwhile Juventus work on Brahim Diaz and consider Stones, while Milan's coaching search remains stuck.

Dish of the day served at Appiano. According to Calciomercato.com, Inter's defence is done: Alessandro Bastoni stays and so does Bisseck, while Oumar Solet arrives from Udinese, a target pursued for days. On the goalkeeping front, the same outlet says an agreement with Ivan Provedel is close — Sky Sport reports a meeting between his agent and the club — while Ajax are on Sommer. Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham also remains warm on the nerazzurri board, while Denzel Dumfries has already left for Real Madrid.

The hot name on the way out is Davide Frattesi: per Sky Sport the midfielder is “torn between the Premier League and... Allegri”, with Roma watching; in the opposite direction runs the Manu Koné-to-Milan rumour. Corriere della Sera adds that Matteo Darmian will not renew. Busy day at Trigoria too: per Calciomercato.com Soulé is deemed sellable and his agent showed up at the club, while Summerville of West Ham and Julian Brandt emerge among the attacking ideas.

A rich lunch at the Continassa as well. On Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid, Calciomercato.com is clear: it can be done, but “Mourinho and Nico Paz decide”. The latest defensive idea is John Stones: “he won everything with Guardiola, but the injuries...”, the same source warns. The advanced tracks for Dibu Martinez from Aston Villa and Sorloth from Atlético remain safe, with Kolo Muani and Djed Spence forming a double track with Tottenham. Outgoing rumour of the day: Como like Locatelli and Miretti.

Milan, instead, go hungry on the bench front: per Calciomercato.com the casting is “endless”, with Glasner in pole position but Austria wanting to keep Rangnick. One deal closed on the market: Ballo-Touré to Fulham. And the outgoing rumours keep coming: Eurosport headlines “everyone is fleeing” over Leao (Arsenal), Rabiot (Napoli) and Maignan.

Quick round before coffee: Como's youth project rolls on and per Calciomercato.com there is also the Liberali idea; Atalanta land Puljic and welcome Sulemana; the Premier League watches Ndicka. In Bologna, Tedesco was unveiled: “I want Orsolini to become a flag-bearer”. And in Madrid, after Dumfries, Real are also sounding out the Gvardiol rumour from Manchester City.
