Muharemovic joins Leeds officially, Summerville says yes to Roma
The transfer day of 17 July is marked by two official deals: Tarik Muharemovic moves from Sassuolo to Leeds — with Juventus banking a significant slice thanks to a sell-on clause — while Atalanta wrap up Ederson's contract renewal. On the negotiating front, Roma have secured Crysencio Summerville's yes and are preparing their push with West Ham, the same Roma that has meanwhile lost Zeki Çelik to Juventus.
The heaviest deal of the day comes at Sassuolo: Tarik Muharemovic is officially a Leeds United player. The transfer, reported by Sky Sport, Corriere dello Sport, Tuttosport and Calciomercato.com, is described as the most valuable in the neroverde club's history, valued at 40 million euros. The biggest winner is Juventus, who held a percentage on any future resale of the Bosnian defender: according to Il Riformista, the proceeds would even be split in half between the Turin club and Sassuolo.
Serie A produced another official move: Atalanta have settled Ederson's contract renewal. The deal is reported as official by Calciomercato.com and as an agreement in its closing stages by Gianluca Di Marzio, with Sky Sport confirming how close the Brazilian midfielder and the Bergamo club are. A sign of continuity for the Dea, who tie down one of their key men.
Roma lived a two-sided day. On the way in, the Giallorossi have secured Crysencio Summerville's yes: the agreement with the player, report Sportmediaset and Retesport, is total, and the capital club is now ready for the decisive push with West Ham on the basis of the 45-million-euro offer. On the way out, however, Roma have waved goodbye to Zeki Çelik: according to Tuttosport the Turkish full-back has landed at Juventus with figures and contract length already official, in a raid orchestrated by Massara, so much so that — Forzaroma.info reports — the board is already hunting for his replacement, with El Ouadhi among the profiles being monitored.
Juventus themselves confirm they are among the busiest clubs. After the Çelik coup, the Bianconeri are accelerating for Randal Kolo Muani — La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky Sport speak of a new offer ready — and are eyeing Parma's Pellegrino, with Corriere dello Sport calling the agreement closer. On the outgoing front, meanwhile, Spalletti has publicly opened the door to Vlahovic staying, as reported by Sky Sport and Tuttosport.
Among the deals nearing the finish line is Udinese's move for Mërgim Vojvoda: Sky Sport reports the medical is under way for an operation worth 1.3 million euros paid to Como. Milan are also on the move: according to the latest reports they have reached an agreement to sell Pervis Estupiñán to Aston Villa and are looking around for a replacement, while for Rafael Leão the only concrete offers, for now, are coming from Turkey.
Abroad, the spotlight is on La Liga: L'Équipe claims Michael Olise would like Real Madrid, with La Gazzetta dello Sport describing the blancos' pursuit as an obsession backed by a monster investment, while Atlético Madrid, through CEO Gil, have cooled Barcelona over Julián Álvarez's future. In Serie A the many names of the day remain at the negotiation or rumour stage — from Lazio closing in on Sergi Domínguez to Napoli finalising Zeballos, through to Bologna targeting Günther after Alhassane — signs of a market that, with the first official deals filed away, is heating up.
