Como and Real Madrid are scheduled to meet on Thursday to discuss the future of Nico Paz, with the Argentine playmaker reportedly keen to remain with the Serie A club, according to reports in Italy. Despite interest from Inter and unnamed Premier League sides, Como’s ownership remain optimistic about retaining the 2004-born player under manager Fabregas.
Meanwhile, a dispute has emerged between Nicolo Zaniolo’s representatives and Udinese following his permanent transfer from Galatasaray. The issue stems from a significant reduction in Zaniolo’s salary compared to his earnings in Turkey, and the player is seeking a revised contract. Should an agreement not be reached, a departure is likely, with Juventus, Milan, and Lazio all expressing initial interest.
Atalanta are progressing with a deal to sign Gianluca Gaetano from Cagliari for a fee of €15 million. Cagliari are considering alternatives, including Inter loanee Asllani, who has returned from Besiktas, and Pisa’s Aebischer. Atalanta are also targeting Nottingham Forest’s Savona as a potential replacement for Palestra, who is expected to join Inter.
Como are also set to sign Cruzeiro’s Kaiki for €14 million, with a contract extending to 2031. They are awaiting Borussia Dortmund’s approval for a loan deal for Couto, potentially offering Kempf in exchange. Como are further bolstering their midfield with the signing of Milla from Getafe, activating his €6 million release clause.
Massimiliano Allegri is expected to be appointed as the new manager of Napoli after reaching an agreement to terminate his contract with Milan. He is anticipated to sign a three-year deal with the Serie A club. Napoli are also optimistic about securing the services of defender Gila from Lazio, offering him a five-year contract worth €3 million per year, with Lucca or Marin potentially included as part of the deal.
Roma continue to pursue Nicolo Zaniolo from Marseille, with further talks planned. Bologna have signed young forward Caccavo from Lumezzane and are also interested in Juventus’ Adzic. They remain interested in Koopmeiners of AZ Alkmaar and Philogene of Ipswich. Venezia have agreed terms with Correia, formerly of Valencia, and are in talks to sign Bella-Kotchap and Montipò from Verona. Fiorentina are interested in Burnley’s Broja and Sassuolo’s Thorstvedt. Finally, Igor Juric has been appointed as the new manager of Monza.
