Serie A Transfer Updates: Juventus Seek Keeper, Milan Release Four Players

While FIFA’s 10‑match ban for Leandro Paredes hangs over the start of the new campaign, Italy’s heavyweights are locked in a frantic final push on the market. Contracts, swap deals, blocked signings: the last days before kick-off are anything but calm.

Juventus and Napoli Duel for Musso

Juventus are scrambling for a new backup goalkeeper as the dominoes fall in their department. Michele Di Gregorio is close to joining Bournemouth, Mattia Perin looks set for Palermo, and that leaves the Bianconeri needing cover behind Guglielmo Vicario.

One name stands out: Juan Musso. According to Tuttosport, Juventus have marked the Atlético Madrid goalkeeper as a serious option.

But there’s a problem. Napoli are already in deep. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the Italian champions have not only moved early, they’ve apparently won Musso’s approval and are working on a swap deal that would send Vanja Milinkovic-Savic the other way. If that agreement lands, Juventus may be left searching again.

Milan Draw a Line: Four Left Without Numbers

At Milan, the break with several players is now official, and brutally clear.

The club have released their squad numbers for the new season. Four familiar names are missing: Fikayo Tomori, Youssouf Fofana, Gimenez and Nkunku do not appear on the list at all.

No number. No hint of reintegration. With the league starting this weekend, their exits now look like a matter of timing rather than possibility. The message from Milan is unmistakable: the future lies elsewhere.

Inter, Stability Around Pavard and Bovio

Inter, by contrast, are moving toward continuity in key areas.

Benjamin Pavard’s position grows stronger by the day. On the pitch and in training, he is convincing the staff. Coach Cristian Chivu underlined that in his press conference: the Frenchman is “doing a great job,” has “made himself available to the group,” and has already shown he can perform “at a certain level.”

The pressure on his future has eased. He looks increasingly likely to stay.

Behind him, the club have also tied down Bovio. His contract renewal is now confirmed and, according to Fabrizio Romano, he is expected to remain with the Nerazzurri. Even so, the club will revisit his situation in the final hours of the window if an unexpected opportunity arises. For now, though, Inter are choosing continuity over upheaval.

Napoli Close Obaretin Deal

Napoli have moved more decisively with their outgoing business.

As reported by Alfredo Pedullà and Fabrizio Romano, the club have completed the transfer of Obaretin to Lorient. The defender had been linked with Genoa back in July and was also on Sturm Graz’s radar, but Napoli have now agreed terms with the French side.

The formula is a loan with an option to buy set at €3.5 million, plus a percentage on any future sale. A clean, modern deal: low risk now, potential upside later.

Roma Hit Financial Wall on Fofana and Luis Henrique

Roma’s ambitions are running into hard numbers.

Il Tempo reports that a move for Fofana came very close to completion. The structure was there: a deal worth €35 million plus bonuses. Then the ownership stepped in and blocked it, wary of the immediate financial commitment after the outlay for Rodrigo Mora and mindful of the club’s wider economic balance.

The same caution is affecting their pursuit of Luis Henrique. According to Il Messaggero, Roma like the player and are working on a deal, but there is still no agreement on how to structure it. The sporting department is pushing; the accounts are pushing back.

Lazio Put Their Faith in Mandas

Lazio, meanwhile, have made a bold choice in goal.

With Ivan Provedel gone, Corriere dello Sport writes that the club intend to trust Christos Mandas as their first-choice goalkeeper. That decision effectively cools the talk of a move to Juventus, where Mandas had been viewed as a possible backup to Vicario.

For the Biancocelesti, it’s a statement of faith. For Juventus, it closes another potential avenue in their increasingly complex search for a No. 2.

Fiorentina Won’t Downgrade if Kean Goes

In Florence, everything turns on one question: what happens with Moise Kean?

FirenzeViola reports that Fiorentina are preparing for the possibility of Kean moving to Como. The key condition is non-negotiable: he will only be allowed to leave if the club find a replacement they consider at least as strong.

Fabio Paratici’s stance is clear. He does not want a striker of a lower level than Kean. The idea is to raise the bar again, just as Fiorentina have tried to do across the rest of the squad during this window.

The clock is ticking. Between blocked deals, bold bets on youth, and transfer tug‑of‑wars, Serie A’s giants are racing toward the opening weekend knowing one decisive move could still reshape their season.
