Allegri unveiled at Napoli as Inter seal Provedel and chase Khalaili
The main course at lunchtime is served by the dugout: Massimiliano Allegri is officially Napoli's new head coach, signed up until 2029. In the players' market Inter lead the way, closing a deal with Lazio for Provedel and reaching personal terms with Khalaili, while Juventus push for Kolo Muani and Muharemovic and Serie A weaves deals with the Premier League and LaLiga.
The news that shakes up the lunch break comes from the Napoli bench: Massimiliano Allegri is the club's new head coach, an official announcement confirmed this morning by Sky Sport and Calciomercato.com, with a contract running until 2029. It's a shake-up that redraws the map of next season's Serie A and will also shape Napoli's coming moves, with Mario Gila at the top of the list to reinforce the defence.
Around the Nerazzurri table the cooking is quick. Inter have closed a deal with Lazio for Ivan Provedel — an operation worth around €3 million according to Sky Sport and Calciomercato.com — and have reached personal terms with Anan Khalaili of Union Saint-Gilloise: the obstacle, Calciomercato.com explains, is the Belgian club's €25 million demand, with La Gazzetta dello Sport confirming the agreement and flagging an open duel with Napoli. In the background, Trevoh Chalobah remains a live name for the defence.
Juventus are preparing several courses at once. Up front Randal Kolo Muani is close, with La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting a deal 'a step away' and the Frenchman expected at pre-season; at the back it's now done for Emil Muharemovic from Sassuolo (Tuttosport), while in goal the trail leading to Aston Villa's Emiliano 'Dibu' Martinez is gaining ground. On the way out, the Bianconeri are holding off Bayern Munich's exploratory enquiry for Gleison Bremer (Calciomercato.com).
Milan land the most expensive signing in their history: Gonçalo Ramos is official from Paris Saint-Germain for €74 million (eurosport.it). Incoming, Sky Sport reports a strong move for Mario Gila, leapfrogging Napoli, while talks continue with Jashari's agents; outgoing, they wave off Samuel Chukwueze, bound for Fulham, and Yunus Musah, who joins Atalanta. In the capital, Roma set two tables: they have asked Chelsea about Alejandro Garnacho (LaRoma24), though without contact yet with his agents (Forzaroma), and to sign Tresoldi they must first offload Dovbyk, on whom — Calciomercato.com reports — Genoa have moved with a loan formula.
Among the side dishes served hot, the Premier League takes the lion's share: Manchester United have closed for Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, while Sunderland pull off a double with Jobe Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund and Enzo Le Fée from Roma. From LaLiga come the crossovers with Italy: Matías Vecino returns to Spain with Celta Vigo, leaving Lazio, who also part with Vedat Muriqi (to Mallorca) and Cristian Mandas (to Bournemouth). Enjoy the meal: the transfer table remains set.
