Below, as usual, are the most important stories of the day.
Juventus, Triple Exit on the Horizon
Following the acquisition of Lucumí, Juventus is poised to offload three defenders to create roster space and potentially explore further additions to their back line in the final days of the transfer window.
According to Tuttosport, Gatti has drawn interest from Marseille, while Rugani garners attention from Monza, Sassuolo, and Udinese. Additionally, Juan Cabal is attracting interest from Bologna.
Milan is monitoring Ethan Nwaneri; however, the Arsenal prospect comes with a hefty price tag, necessitating considerable financial maneuvering. Matteo Moretto provides the latest update.

“Nwaneri is a name Milan have been working on for weeks, a player they really like, very much so. An offer had been made: a loan with an option to buy for €40 million, which was rejected. The key condition as of today, August 16, for Arsenal to let him leave is that there must be at least an obligation to buy, or in any case a permanent deal. As things stand, Arsenal are not open to a loan with an option to buy. We’ll see whether the conditions change and whether Milan will have other chances.”
Inter, Move for Boca’s Delgado?
Inter may eye a move for Milton Delgado, a midfielder from Boca Juniors who has been on the Nerazzurri’s radar for some time.
El Intransigente reports, and fcinternews.it echoes, that the Nerazzurri could potentially make an offer, as Boca is keen to retain the player who is crucial for their lineup with the transfer deadline looming.
Recently, Napoli has linked itself to Gabriel Martinelli, who might depart Arsenal. Fabrizio Romano shares the latest insights.

“As far as Gabriel Martinelli’s situation is concerned, this is where things stand. As for Napoli, we have no indication of anything and both Arsenal and Napoli keep telling us there is nothing there. Roma made an enquiry, but the costs were considered extremely high. It seems his future will hardly be in Italy”.
Roma, Huge Offer for Fofana
Roma has made a significant bid for Malick Fofana, a talented winger from Lyon born in 2005, who is also being pursued by Galatasaray.
TMW reports that the Giallorossi have put forth an offer valued at €40 million plus bonuses to entice Lyon. Meanwhile, Galatasaray is offering the player double his current salary.
Lazio seeks a new centre-back, and a recent name from Belgium has surfaced, according to lalaziosiamonoi.it.

Fiorentina continues its search for left-backs, with Nuno Tavares remaining strongly in the thoughts of sporting director Fabio Paratici.

Milan are tracking Ethan Nwaneri; however, the Arsenal talent costs too much, or at least would require a major effort. Below is Matteo Moretto’s update.

In recent hours Napoli have been linked with Gabriel Martinelli, who could leave Arsenal. Below is Fabrizio Romano’s update.
