Inter push for N'Dicka; Baroni named new Verona coach
With the World Cup as a backdrop, the Serie A market is running on a low flame but never stops: Inter are accelerating for N'Dicka while keeping the Palestra deal alive, Napoli are chasing Khalaili for the right flank and Fiorentina have agreed to sell a striker. On the dugout front, Marco Baroni is officially Verona's new coach, while Juventus keep working on a goalkeeping coup in Dibu Martínez.
Inter remain the busiest club. According to Tuttocampo their plan for N'Dicka has taken off: the Nerazzurri have set their sights on the Roma defender, who becomes one of the priorities for the back line. In the background the tug-of-war with Atalanta over Marco Palestra continues, with the deal now close to completion at around 50 million (Eurosport). In midfield, Inter also keep tracking Liverpool's Curtis Jones (ANSA).
Spalletti's Juventus are working on several fronts. In goal Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez remains the front-runner, with terms for his Aston Villa departure well advanced. Up front, Calciomercato.com reports Lyon's interest in Loïs Openda, who is on his way out of Turin, while Kolo Muani and Brahim Díaz remain live options behind the striker. There are also enquiries for Manchester City's Omar Marmoush.
Allegri's Napoli are focusing on the flanks: their priority for the right-back slot is Union Saint-Gilloise's Anan Khalaili (Gianluca Di Marzio), while in defence Gila is closing in, with a five-year deal reportedly agreed (Sky Sport); ANSA mentions a possible swap with Lazio along the Gila-Lucca axis. Fiorentina, for their part, have agreed to sell a striker (Sky Sport): in the background River Plate are pushing for Lucas Beltrán (Calciomercato.com). The Viola also stay alert to Mandas should De Gea leave (Di Marzio) and are sounding out winger Koleosho (La Gazzetta dello Sport).
On the official front, the news of the day comes from Verona: Marco Baroni is the new Hellas coach, on a contract until 2028 with an option (Calciomercato.com). Milan, meanwhile, have formalised the buy-back of Francesco Camarda — a Rossonero again according to the club's official site — and continue to look at Bayern, with the names of Kim and Goretzka. From recent days, the official moves of Baldanzi to Genoa and Gabbia to Villarreal remain on the books.
Among the others, Atalanta are preparing a partial overhaul: with almost 100 million coming in from the sales of Palestra and Ederson (Sky Sport), Sarri's side are close to Popov and have noted Gaetano's openness, while also nurturing the Jashari idea. Lazio, by contrast, are in trimming mode: there are offers for Lazzari and Pellegrini, Cancellieri is on the list of departures and Toma Bašić is close to Celta Vigo, with Zaniolo among the ideas (Virgilio Sport). Goalkeeper file: Torino have opened a casting between the posts and are sounding out Modena's Daniel Tonoli (Toro.it), while Genoa may sell Nicola Leali, tracked precisely by Verona (SOS Fanta). At Parma, Daffara is closing in, ready to replace Suzuki, who is nearing Aston Villa (Calciomercato.com).
Abroad, Real Madrid keep moving decisively: according to Corriere dello Sport the arrival of Ibrahima Konaté is official, with the Blancos still working on Denzel Dumfries. In LaLiga, Atlético Madrid are sounding out Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen, while Como keep holding on to Lucas Da Cunha despite the Colchoneros' interest (Calciomercato.com). In the Premier League, finally, Casemiro is a step away from Inter Miami after a verbal agreement (Calciomercato.com), and Sandro Tonali remains contested between Tottenham and Manchester City.
