Serie A Transfer Market Heats Up with Key Player Moves
The transfer market is entering its busiest weeks, and in Serie A, all sorts of things are happening: some clubs are making tweaks to their squads, while others need to overhaul their rosters just days before the start of the league season.
Now let’s take a look at today’s most important transfer news involving Serie A’s top clubs.
Juventus, Leipzig’s Raum is a target
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus aims to enhance their squad by adding a left-sided defender, although their primary focus remains on securing a new goalkeeper.

One of the names high on their list is David Raum, the 28-year-old left-back from Leipzig, who is tied to his current club until 2027, potentially facilitating a deal. Meanwhile, arrangements are being finalized for Lucumí, who is set to undergo medical examinations on Sunday.
Milan (who will face Manchester United without 8 players) will need to bolster their wide positions, with La Gazzetta dello Sport linking several players, a connection also confirmed by Daniele Longo from calciomercato.com: Dodo (on the right), Zalewski, and Nuno Tavares (on the left) are all options under consideration.
The Fiorentina player is under contract until 2027 and could be acquired for a reasonable price. Zalewski’s position in Sarri’s Atalanta remains uncertain, while Nuno Tavares has raised concerns due to his physical issues.
According to Matteo Moretto, a deal between Inter and Espanyol for Kamaté has hit a snag, despite an earlier agreement for his permanent transfer for €3 million along with 50% of any future resale.

In the coming days, Inter’s management will evaluate other offers for the 2004-born winger, who rejected proposals from Atletico Madrid (to join their second team) and Palermo this summer.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Ajax has identified Noa Lang as a top target to replace Mika Godts, who is expected to sign with PSG for around €55 million.
Atalanta has shown interest in Lang as well, but they prefer a loan deal, a scenario that both Napoli and the player are not keen on. Meanwhile, Galatasaray also views Lang as an option, although they prioritize other profiles such as Martinelli and Leao.
Roma, Fofana’s price drops
While waiting for Porto’s final response regarding Rodrigo Mora, Roma are safeguarding their options should the deal falter. According to Alfredo Pedullà, discussions regarding Malick Fofana have resumed, targeting the 2004-born winger from Lyon.

His valuation of €40 million plus bonuses is reportedly decreasing, as the player continues to demonstrate physical fitness, having played almost 90 minutes in a recent Champions League qualifier against Sparta Prague.
Lazio, new name for the defense
After Gattuso’s words, which seem to move Icardi further away, Lazio is considering a new defensive signing.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, they are interested in Stepan Chaloupek, a 23-year-old center-back from Slavia Prague, valued at around €10 million. Additionally, Hautekiet from Standard Liège remains on their radar.
Fiorentina, what is missing to close Thorstvedt deal
As reported by FirenzeViola, Sassuolo has expressed irritation about the ongoing rumors connecting Thorstvedt with Fiorentina. The Viola have yet to submit an official bid, despite reaching an agreement with the player for a contract lasting until 2031.

Fiorentina wishes to first sell one of Brescianini or Fabbian before finalizing the transfer for Thorstvedt, potentially including Fortini in the deal. Sassuolo has indicated that in the absence of viable offers, the midfielder may stay until the end of his contract.

One of the names they like most for the flank is David Raum: the 28-year-old Leipzig left-back is under contract until 2027, and that could make a potential deal easier. Meanwhile, the details are being finalized for Lucumí, who will undergo his medical on Sunday.
Milan (who will face Manchester United without 8 players) will need to strengthen out wide, and La Gazzetta dello Sport linked several names, also confirmed by Daniele Longo of calciomercato.com: Dodo (on the right), Zalewski and Nuno Tavares (on the left) are all appreciated.
The Fiorentina wide man is under contract until 2027 and could arrive for an affordable fee, Zalewski does not have a clearly defined tactical role in Sarri’s Atalanta, while Nuno Tavares raises some doubts because of his physical issues.
As reported by Matteo Moretto, the deal between Inter and Espanyol for Kamaté is stalling: there had previously been an agreement for his permanent transfer for €3 million plus 50% of any future resale.

In the next few days, the Nerazzurri club will consider other offers for the 2004-born winger, who this summer turned down offers from Atletico Madrid (to play for the second team) and Palermo.

Atalanta have also shown interest in Lang, but only on loan: a formula disliked by both Napoli and the player. The winger is also liked by Galatasaray, who however see him as an alternative, as the Turkish club’s preferred profiles are Martinelli and Leao.
Roma, Fofana’s price drops
While waiting for Porto’s final response for Rodrigo Mora, Roma are protecting themselves in case the deal falls through. According to Alfredo Pedullà, contacts for Malick Fofana have become active again: the Lyon winger born in 2004.
