Lunch Break: Juve get Carnevali and Szczesny; Milan eye Glasner, Amorim
It's day one of the Carnevali era at the Continassa, and Juventus celebrate with two deals already in the bag: Szczesny back from Barcelona and Muharemovic from Sassuolo. Milan, meanwhile, still can't untangle their coaching knot — Glasner in pole, with Amorim and Pochettino emerging — while half of Serie A joins the race for Chiesa.
Big day at the Continassa: the Carnevali era begins. Sky Sport profiles the new CEO arriving from Sassuolo, Sportmediaset already sketches out 'Carnevali's Juventus' between incomings and outgoings, and for Tuttosport the priorities don't change: 'a goalkeeper and a striker, immediately'. Said and half done: the board files Szczesny's return from Barcelona and the arrival of defender Muharemovic from Sassuolo as completed, while Dibu Martinez from Aston Villa and Sorloth from Atlético Madrid remain on the home straight. New rumours chapter: Brahim from Manchester City, with Cambiaso linked to Chelsea and Gatti contested by Roma and, as of today, Napoli too.
Milan, instead, are still serving the auditions menu at lunchtime: per Eurosport the coaching casting is 'endless', with Glasner in pole position and new entries Amorim and Pochettino — and the board confirms the whisper, logging Amorim leaving Genoa for Milan. One thing is done, though: Musah joins Atalanta. And the outgoing rumours keep coming: today they touch Modric and Nkunku, the latter linked with Roma, while the Leao-Arsenal saga rumbles on.
Big thinking at Trigoria: according to Corriere dello Sport, the Friedkins have put €100m on the table for three top signings. SNAI sportnews sorts out the priorities: 'Greenwood and Alajbegovic yes, Brandt no'. And today's notebook adds three new tracks: Lucumi from Bologna — where the competition is called Juventus — Nkunku from Milan and the Chiesa temptation, while Soulé appears among the possible departures.
The day's two most contested men deserve a chapter of their own. Davide Frattesi remains the most courted: Roma track him as a concrete target, Nottingham Forest — reports Gianluca Di Marzio — have reiterated their interest after a meeting between the parties, and as of today Napoli have joined the board too. Federico Chiesa, on his way out of Liverpool, has half of Serie A at his heels: Inter, Napoli, Roma and Como are all noted on the chalkboard.
A quick round before coffee. Lazio: per Sky Sport, Romagnoli's departure is down to the final details and a Bayern attacking midfielder is liked for the incoming slot, while Jony heads to Osasuna, deal done. Fiorentina: Corriere dello Sport certifies the farewell to Gudmundsson — 'the auction starts at €16m' — and Di Marzio registers the enquiry for Ruggeri, though Atlético want to keep him. Torino are buzzing with rumours: Falcone from Lecce and Strefezza from Parma are the ideas of the day, Erlic is a 'long-term job' according to Toro.it, which also reports Abate's contract termination with Juve Stabia as official. Abroad, finally, Gazzetta celebrates Mourinho's official arrival at Real Madrid, the board logs the Bernardo Silva rumour from City towards the Bernabeu, and the Citizens register exit whispers for Rodri and Guehi as well.
