Nico Paz stays at Como, Inter miss out. Milan seal Gonçalo Ramos

At lunchtime, while the 2026 World Cup steals the show with a flurry of goals, the market serves up two heavy courses: Como fend off Inter to keep Nico Paz, buying him back from Real Madrid, while Milan close the deal for Gonçalo Ramos. In the background Juventus work on a new goalkeeper, and the latest hour throws up Zaniolo heading to Udinese and an Inter-Napoli tug-of-war for Khalaili.

The main dish comes from the lake. According to Sky Sport, Como are re-signing Nico Paz from Real Madrid on a permanent deal for €60m, a figure echoed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, which describes an Inter side rebuffed by Fabregas's club. Eurosport.it confirms the outcome: "Nico Paz stays at Como, agreement with Real for the permanent transfer." For the Nerazzurri it is a double blow because — as Goal.com recalls — after Nico Paz they also lost out on Palestra, who joined Chelsea (Corriere della Sera).

At Milan the lunch is uncorked: Eurosport.it reports the arrival of Gonçalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain as done, calling it a record €74m operation. On the way out, the Rossoneri are letting Samuel Chukwueze leave for Fulham, while the name of Alajbegovic stays warm (Milan Vibes).

Juventus, meanwhile, are cooking up a goalkeeping move. Sky Sport and Gianluca Di Marzio serve the same menu: Aston Villa's Emiliano "Dibu" Martinez is the first choice, with Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario as the alternative; Calciomercato.com adds the figures and details of the Bianconeri's offer.

Straight off the latest-news stove, three flames lit by Calciomercato.com. Nicolò Zaniolo is an Udinese target, but the deal isn't cooked yet: his agent, quoted by Sky Sport, applies the brakes ("there's still no agreement") and Gianluca Di Marzio confirms the wage terms are still missing. Inter, to replace Dumfries, are thinking of Union Saint-Gilloise's Anan Khalaili, but it's a transfer derby with Napoli (per Eurosport.it). And Genoa bring a youngster to the table: a verbal agreement with Thun for 2005-born midfielder Franz-Ethan Meichtry.

For the rest, at this hour the real ball steals the spotlight. The 2026 World Cup filled the night with France thrashing Norway 4-1 (a Dembélé brace), Belgium putting five past New Zealand and Spain knocking Uruguay out thanks to Baena's goal. With the World Cup bracket heating up, negotiations stay on a low flame: we'll catch up after coffee.
