In the transfer market, the action continues to heat up, and here are the most important stories today. Juventus has made an initial move to sign Mateo Pellegrino, submitting an official offer to Parma for the Argentine striker. Tuttosport reports that the Bianconeri are seeking a new center-forward, and Pellegrino’s profile has become the management’s top priority under Carnevali. Juventus’ offer is a loan with an obligation to buy set at €30 million, contingent on finishing 10th in Serie A. While this threshold is arguably easy to reach, Parma is not convinced, preferring to receive the €30 million upfront rather than waiting for the permanent transfer clause to activate. Negotiations remain open, and Juventus now must decide their next move.
Adrien Rabiot’s future remains a topic of debate. Gazzetta dello Sport notes that despite recent rumors linking him with Napoli, the midfielder has no intention of forcing a move away. He signed a contract last summer through 2028, and his departure would only occur if a particularly compelling offer comes in. Gerry Cardinale has reportedly expressed a desire to keep the Frenchman, ruling out a sale that could strengthen Napoli. Additionally, coach Amorim views Rabiot as a key component of his project, envisioning him in a holding midfield role within his 3-4-2-1 system.
Inter continue to await updates on Khalaili’s condition, with the forward set to undergo further medical testing tomorrow. Sky Sport reports that the Nerazzurri remain confident and hope the checks yield a positive result, enabling the deal to close. It’s still early to weigh alternative scenarios; however, if Khalaili’s transfer falls through, Inter have already opened exploratory talks for Doué, a profile they could revisit in the coming hours.
Napoli are nearing the completion of Exequiel Zeballos’s transfer. Tuttosport says talks with Boca Juniors are in the final details, and Napoli is ready to secure one of the most promising talents in Argentine football. Boca Juniors are expected to receive around €10 million, while Zeballos is prepared to sign a long-term contract until 2031, with an initial salary around €1.4 million per season.
