Lunch Break: Baldanzi to Genoa is official, Palestra-Inter nears

At noon the menu is all about stamps: Baldanzi is officially back at Genoa and Camarda back at Milan, while the Inter-Palestra agreement is down to the details. As an aperitif comes UEFA's green light too, lifting Inter and Milan out of the settlement agreement and edging closer to a deal with Juventus: Serie A's market can breathe.

Let's start with the starters already on the table. Roma have made official Tommaso Baldanzi's return to Genoa — «the right environment for me» — with the formula and details announced by the club (Forzaroma.info); a few hours earlier Milan had stamped Francesco Camarda, the «new Rossoneri signing» according to the club's official statement (AC Milan). In the background UEFA lays out the tastiest side dish: Inter and Milan are out of the settlement agreement (Calciomercato.com) and Juventus are «a step away» from their own deal, with direct consequences for the market and the Europa League (Tuttosport).

Nerazzurri first course. Inter have reached a verbal agreement with Atalanta for Marco Palestra, a deal worth nearly 50 million now down to the details (eurosport.it), after a positive meeting between the two clubs (Calciomercato.com). Between the posts, there's little left for Ivan Provedel: his agent confirmed to Sky that the goalkeeper is «very close» (Sky Sport, Calciomercato.com). On the way out, Alessandro Bastoni stays hot, now in Real Madrid's sights: Inter want 70 million and the final word rests with Mourinho (Calciomercato.com).

Black-and-white second course. Juventus have Emiliano «Dibu» Martínez from Aston Villa in hand, while on the way out talks with Chelsea over Andrea Cambiaso are widening and the offer could rise by adding Jackson to the deal (Calciomercato.com); Barça lurk in the background, dangling Araújo. In midfield Spalletti is asking for reinforcements (Calciomercato.com), while Jonathan David won't give up and wants to relaunch himself in Turin, even if his standstill is blocking the arrival of the new centre-forward (Calciomercato.com).

From La Liga the richest dish is served by Mourinho's Real Madrid, on an official-announcement spree: after Bernardo Silva, who has signed until 2028 (Corriere dello Sport), the stamps for Konaté have also arrived (Corriere dello Sport), while Antonio Rüdiger is now heading out. Los Blancos, meanwhile, keep pushing for Bastoni himself.

To finish, Serie A's kitchens stay the busiest. Beyond Camarda, Milan are dealing with boardroom chaos — Krösche's arrival as sporting director risks collapsing (Calciomercato.com) — while Amorim dreams of Gonçalo Ramos and opens the door to selling Leao (Calciomercato.com). In Florence, Paratici preaches realism but wants to keep Moise Kean, with a first summit to continue together (Calciomercato.com). And Roma, with Baldanzi wrapped up, now work on outgoings: Koné appeals to Arsenal, who have an agreement with the player, but the Giallorossi want 50 million (La Gazzetta dello Sport). Enjoy your meal.
