Lunch Break: Savinho flies to London, Juventus part with Arthur
A lively transfer lunchtime, with the big move coming from the Premier League: Savinho is a step away from Tottenham. In Serie A, Juventus close one chapter with Arthur's exit and open another in midfield, while smaller done deals pile up.
The main course is served by the Premier League. Calciomercato.com fires off the "here we go" for Savinho to Tottenham: a deal has been agreed with Manchester City for a fee above 75 million euros. An acceleration that, once signatures land, reshapes Spurs' wings and eases City's attacking department.
At Juventus the midfield menu is changing. Calciomercato.com reports that Arthur has officially terminated his contract with the Bianconeri, news also confirmed by Gianluca Di Marzio. And as one Brazilian leaves, the club hunts for a reinforcement for Luciano Spalletti: Di Marzio again points to Franck Kessie as the hot name in midfield.
On the done-deal front, lower-table Serie A puts two signings on the table. Idrissa Touré is a new Monza player: he arrives from Pisa for one million euros plus the registration of another player, Calciomercato.com reports. Also official is Niccolò Fortini's move to Torino, from Fiorentina on a paid loan worth around one million; the Granata, meanwhile, are also eyeing Daniel Braganca, the 1999-born midfielder from Sporting Lisbon.
Inside the big clubs, the board stays warm. Today's board flags Curtis Jones arriving in Milan for his Inter medical (Sportmediaset), while Napoli take Benoit Badiashile to Villa Stuart for tests ahead of a defensive signing (Corriere dello Sport). Moves that confirm a morning of medicals rather than just words.
As side dishes, the still-open negotiations. Calciomercato.com reports progress on the Perin-Palermo deal, with intense overnight contacts to trim the financial demands; Rennes have opened talks with Lazio for Boulaye Dia; Getafe have asked about Fiorentina's Giovanni Fabbian. Sassuolo, on the other hand, are stalled: no agreement yet with Belghali, with Lazio's Lazzari lurking in the background.
