Kolo Muani forces Juve move; Allegri signs for Napoli as Milan empties out
Kolo Muani is pushing hard against PSG to force a move to Juventus, while Allegri agrees terms with Napoli to replace Conte and already targets free-transfer reinforcements. Milan close out the day with five confirmed departures, Estupiñán signed as Theo's replacement, and the Glasner-vs-Rangnick bench race nearing its end.
Juventus are not stopping at Sørloth. The deal with Atlético Madrid for the Norwegian striker is now all but sealed, per Calciomercato.com — Spalletti pushed personally for the move — and Marcos Senesi from Bournemouth has also been formalised. The afternoon's biggest news: Randal Kolo Muani has told PSG he wants only Juventus and is ready to force the issue to accelerate his transfer (Gazzetta dello Sport). On the right flank, talks with Celta Vigo over Óscar Mingueza are at an advanced stage — player agreement done, clubs still negotiating. Douglas Luiz, already official, is set to join the squad.
Napoli land three signings and change manager. Rasmus Hojlund is official from Manchester United for €44 million, Miguel Gutiérrez has signed his Napoli contract after leaving Girona, and Joao Gomes from Wolves is in advanced agreement. The afternoon brings the coaching confirmation: Napoli have agreed terms with Massimiliano Allegri as their new head coach after Conte's exit. His severance with Milan is still being finalised, but Allegri already has a plan — he wants to give Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca a second chance, potentially on free transfers. Anguissa's future is one of the first questions he will need to answer.
Milan's fire sale is now official and complete. Five departures land in one day: Yunus Musah to Atalanta, Samuel Chukwueze to Fulham, Noah Okafor to Leeds United for €21 million (including bonuses), Lorenzo Colombo redeemed by Genoa, and Patrick Cutrone to Wolves. Pervis Estupiñán arrives from Brighton as the designated successor to Theo Hernández on the left. Calciomercato.com confirms both Oliver Glasner and Ralf Rangnick are ready to sign as head coach — Rangnick could bring David Alaba as a zero-cost addition. Former defender Alessandro Nesta is direct: 'Milan need a sporting director and a real striker — clarity is essential.'
Inter hold firm on Calhanoglu and plan their own moves. The Denzel Dumfries-to-Real Madrid operation is at an advanced stage with a club agreement in place. On the exit side, Bisseck's expiring contract and Luis Henrique on the market add to the outgoings picture. The day's hot topic from Istanbul: new Fenerbahçe president Aziz Yıldırım has made Calhanoglu his number-one target, but Inter are immovable — 'He stays, full stop' (Gazzetta). Incoming: Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham is close, with a personal agreement reportedly reached; Matteo Palestra from Atalanta remains the top priority, and the defender has already made clear he wants only Inter.
