Comolli leaves Juve, Inter lock up their defence: June 11 recap
Shake-up at Juventus: Comolli has resigned and, according to Calciomercato.com, tomorrow's board meeting will open the Carnevali era. Inter, meanwhile, are settling their backline and accelerating for a goalkeeper, while England brings confirmations on Vicario and Hojlund.
The story of the day comes from Turin. Calciomercato.com reports Comolli's resignation: the board meeting that will open the Carnevali era is scheduled for tomorrow. For the French executive it is the epilogue of difficult weeks: the same outlet had critically analysed his working method this morning, between algorithms and collapsed negotiations. The TransferBeat board logs the exit among the day's completed moves.
Juve's transfer business, meanwhile, does not stop. Calciomercato.com revives the Brahim Diaz track from Real Madrid — "it can be done, but Mourinho and Nico Paz will decide" — while Eurosport adds that Bernardo Silva is pushing the former Milan man towards Turin. In defence the Stones idea emerges, again according to Calciomercato.com, and during the day the names of Lucumí from Bologna, Djed Spence from Tottenham and Real Madrid youngster Mastantuono appear on the board. On the way out, Locatelli and Miretti are in Como's sights.
At Inter it was a working day. For Calciomercato.com "the defence is done": besides Bastoni, who stays despite the noise from Spain, Bisseck is also confirmed, and Solet is arriving from Udinese. Goalkeepers chapter: Vicario's arrival from Tottenham has now reached confirmed-deal status on both sides of the board, and the same source reports an agreement close for Lazio's Provedel, with Ajax said to have moved for Sommer. On Frattesi, finally, La Gazzetta dello Sport flags renewed interest from Nottingham Forest, but also Italian options, with Roma at the front of the queue on the board.
Elsewhere in Serie A, Napoli receive a heavy signal from England: on the Manchester United side too, Hojlund's exit towards the Azzurri has moved to confirmed-deal status, an operation the Napoli board has listed as closed for days. Milan are working on two tables: for the bench Calciomercato.com sees Glasner in pole position, although Austria want to keep Rangnick, while on the market Todibo of West Ham emerges and Ballo-Touré's departure to Fulham is completed. Atalanta land the Puljic signing — also cited by Calciomercato.com's live blog — and also close for Kamaldeen Sulemana. At Roma, Soulé's agent showed up at Trigoria: for Calciomercato.com the Argentine can be sacrificed, while incoming names include Brandt from Dortmund, Summerville from West Ham and Girona's Arnau Martinez, contested with Lazio. On the Inter axis the Koné track stays hot, with Arsenal joining the race on the board today, and again per Calciomercato.com's live blog the Premier League is watching Ndicka.
Then there is Como, the undisputed protagonist of the day's board: within hours come the Locatelli and Miretti tracks from Juventus, Chiesa from Liverpool — contested with Napoli — and the Liberali idea cited by Calciomercato.com's live blog, plus the Carvajal and Gonzalo Garcia suggestions from Real Madrid. In Spain, Real themselves are tracking Manchester City's Gvardiol and keeping the Julián Álvarez track with Atlético alive, while the board now lists Dumfries' arrival from Inter as defined. At Barcelona, meanwhile, Lewandowski and Rashford remain on the way out.
In the Premier League it is a day of big exits: Tottenham, besides green-lighting Vicario, are assessing Napoli's McTominay and see Kolo Muani and Spence enter Juventus' radar. Manchester United, having cleared Hojlund's path, keep pushing for Newcastle's Tonali, while Jude Bellingham remains linked with Chelsea and the Red Devils on the board. Brighton, finally, are serious about Torino's Ché Adams.
