Lunch Break: Perin off to Palermo as City splash 100m on Bouaddi

A lunchtime market with an Italian flavour: Juventus free up their goal for Perin and keep hunting Spalletti's striker. But the heaviest blow lands in the Premier League: Manchester City close for Bouaddi, 100 million to Lille for Rodri's heir.

On this Monday the main course is served by Juventus. A spot opens up in goal: Sky Sport reports Perin's move to Palermo on a three-year deal, while Tuttosport describes Grabara "warming up his gloves" as the new name between the posts in Turin. Up front the puzzle is still open: Gazzetta dello Sport relays Spalletti's alarm - "we need a different striker" - with Zirkzee and Sorloth as last-week ideas, though Sportmediaset warns that sales must come first. In the background, Calciomercato reports the parties have already agreed on Kessie.

At Roma the deal is already wrapped: Corriere dello Sport headlines "Oosterwolde to Roma, done", a reinforcement for Gasperini's defence, while the club keeps dreaming of Bynoe-Gittens. Atalanta, for their part, have made Elmas official: Calciomercato calls him "a joker", ready to widen the Dea's rotation.

The saga of the day speaks with a Lazio accent and is named Pinamonti. SNAI flags the Biancocelesti's fresh push, Corriere dello Sport still gives it "48 hours" with the payment structure to be settled in the talks with Sassuolo, but Sportal.it recalls the deal with the player is there and the brake is Lotito. Further south, Napoli try one last assault on Gabriel Jesus according to SNAI, while Lang - the word from the city - is said to have convinced Allegri and can now stay.

Abroad the roar comes from the Premier League: Sky Sport certifies "Man City-Bouaddi, done", 100 million to Lille for the man tagged as Rodri's heir - and it is no coincidence, given Rodri himself has flown to Barcelona. Gianluca Di Marzio confirms the agreement between City and Lille on the same figure. In Serie A, meanwhile, Fiorentina prepare an exit: Di Marzio again writes that Mandragora may leave Florence, with Genoa and Ajax leading the queue.

La Liga, at noon, stays the quietest of the three: no new deal on the table, only the long wave of Rodri in Blaugrana colours still shifting business elsewhere. Enjoy your lunch: with the final week of negotiations at the door, the dinner menu already promises a second helping.
