Transfer market, today’s news 16 July: from Vlahovic to PSG to Kessie to Juventus

Vlahovic and Juve would be close to saying goodbye. From the latest rumors, the attacker and the Parisian club would have reached an agreement. With the sale of the number 9, Juve will try to close for Lukaku. Milan strengthens, very close to closing for Reijnders. Instead, Inter are looking for a striker who, skipping Lukaku, moves on Balogun and would also have done a poll on Morata, on which Roma had moved well in advance. Below, the eleven main news of the day.

1 – TIJJANI REIJNDERS

There are no more doubts: Reijnders will be a new AC Milan player, capable of finding the final team with AZ Alkmaar who will receive 19 million fixed payments plus 5 million in bonuses. Born in 1998, the Dutch midfielder will undergo the usual medical examinations in the coming weeks, then sign the four-year contract that will tie him to the Devil. AZ Alkmaar sporting director Max Huiberts confirmed the negotiations: “The sensations seem much more positive now. He has our permission to speak with Milan. If he hasn’t already… It’s not over yet, but Reijnders is on his way. Milan proves that he really wants it. The last conversation with Milan was a good conversation, now we’re close.”

Reijnders is a midfielder with a distinctly offensive vocation. Good at handling the ball, he has one of his greatest qualities in shooting from distance. Slender physique, 185 centimeters by 75 kilos, he has a good vision of the game and is skilled in through balls. Pioli could use him as an attacking midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation with a midfielder in front of the defense and Loftus-Cheek in the other midfielder spot.

2 – FOLARINI BALOGUN

He is Inter’s very first choice called immediately, after the shock break with Romelu Lukaku, to find a striker who can complete Simone Inzaghi’s offensive department. Born in 2001, 21 goals in the last season in Ligue 1 with Reims, for the US striker Arsenal, who holds the card, would like around forty million.

3 – ALVARO MORATA

Another name that ended up in the notebook of the Inter management, the former Juventus striker is however a profile that Roma likes a lot, especially Josè Mourinho. A four-year contract worth 4.5 million per season plus bonuses would be ready for Morata, a rather high figure considering that, having left Italy only in 2022, the player cannot take advantage of the growth decree.

4 – YANN SOMMER

Inter’s primary objective, which must cover the boxes left empty by Onana and Hnadanovic, was the Bayern Munich coach, Thomas Tuchel, on the Swiss goalkeeper. “Goalkeepers? The situation isn’t clear enough, which is why we wait and see We have Sommer and Ulreich. Nubel started positively. We need time.” The feeling that to get to Sommer, Inter will have to work harder than expected.

5 – DENIS ZAKARIA

Out of the technical project and further and further away from Juventus, the Swiss midfielder is approaching West Ham with ever more decisive steps. Thanks to Declan Rice’s move to Arsenal, the English club will have the necessary liquidity to unlock the deal. The two sides are not too far apart with Juve asking for 25 and West Ham offering 20, with a loan and a buy-out obligation fixed for next season. As anticipated by La Stampa, Kessié is back in fashion for the Bianconeri. Barcelona proposes it, Juve thinks about it

6 – LAZAR SAMARDZIC

Wanted by half of Serie A, the very talented Serbian midfielder would be strongly in Inter’s sights. Udinese wants to monetize and would ask for 25 million for the jewel but the excellent relations between the two clubs could favor the success of the operation: Inter would prefer a loan with an obligation to buy, from Friuli they would instead like to snatch a definitive transfer.

7 – DANJUMA

Dutch with Nigerian origins, Danjuma could be the attacking joker for Milan. Last season Danjuma played the first six months in Spain with Villarreal, then in January he moved to Tottenham, taking the field in the Champions League round of 16 against the Rossoneri

8 – DECLAN RICE

The signature is just missing for the official passage of Rice from West Ham to Arsenal: the passage of the midfielder, initially linked to Manchester City, to the Gunners will allow West Ham to collect 100 million pounds of which they will be able to add 5 more bonuses. Money that, as mentioned, at that point, the English club would partially reuse to get to Juventus player Zakaria.

9 – FABINHO

For a change, yet another “monster” offer has arrived from Saudi Arabia. Al-Itthad has put on the table the beauty of 40 million pounds, which is equivalent to 47 million euros, to get to Fabinho, with Liverpool which, taking note of the Saudi offer, excluded the player from the next tour in Germany

10 DUSAN VLAHOVIC

Paris Saint-Germain and the Serbian striker, leaving Juve, would find an agreement on the basis of a five-year contract worth over 9 million euros per season. The only thing missing for the transfer to Paris is the agreement between the two clubs, with Juve who would like to collect at least seventy million, to then reinvest around 40 in Lukaku, for whom Inter yesterday called themselves out definitively .

11 ROMELU LUKAKU

No Inter for the Belgian, who while waiting for Juve tomorrow will present himself at the Chelsea meeting, but who will then not leave for the tour in the USA for which he has not been called up. And a background on the now former Inter striker was told by Eddy Veerus, singer and very close to the Nerazzurri world. On his twitter profile Veerus revealed a conversation he had with an Inter player. “A (now) former partner of his, about 3 weeks ago, said to me: “Did you see? Maybe Lukaku goes to Milan…”
