## Teenage Defender Leoni: A Summer Transfer Battle Royal

**Serie A Starcatches Attention of Premier League Giants**

Giovanni Leoni, a prodigious 19-year-old defender for Parma, has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in European football this summer.  His impressive performances have caught the eye of both Serie A powerhouses and Premier League clubs, sparking a potential transfer battle.

Leoni's meteoric rise

Leoni's standout season with Parma saw him consistently thwart some of Serie A's top strikers, establishing himself as a formidable defensive force. His youth and evident potential suggest he could be a solution for clubs seeking long-term stability at the back. 

**€40 Million Valuation Fuels Bidding War**


Parma originally acquired Leoni from Sampdoria for €7 million last summer. However, it is estimated that  it would take at least €40 million to secure his services this transfer window.  

 **Italian Giants Eye Leoni**

Inter Milan are reportedly leading the charge for Leoni's signature, with new coach Cristian Chivu identifying him as a top target. AC Milan and Juventus are also closely monitoring the situation and eager to add the young talent to their ranks.

**Premier League Interest Heats Up**

The Premier League has joined the race for Leoni's signature. Liverpool have made inquiries about his availability, while Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have also expressed strong interest in acquiring the promising defender.

##  Isak Saga: Liverpool Awaits Newcastle's Decision on Star Striker

**Reds set sights on Isak while Magpies grapple with internal conflict.**

Liverpool has made its intentions clear – they want Alexander Isak, but the fate of the Swedish striker now rests in Newcastle's hands. 

The Reds are ready to welcome Isak, even with the recent arrival of Hugo Ekitike, and have no issues regarding Financial Fair Play (FFP) or budget constraints.  

**Isak's Fury: A Contract Standoff.**

Isak is contracted to Newcastle until 2028, but feels betrayed by their refusal to offer him improved contract terms, leaving him "furious" and determined to move elsewhere. This has created a tense standoff between player and club.


Newcastle’s decision-makers hold the ultimate power over Isak's future, as manager Eddie Howe acknowledged:

“The ownership, together with the board of directors, especially with the money involved in modern day transfers… The manager of course has an opinion, but ultimately the decision will rest with the board.”

Howe remained tight-lipped about Isak’s desire to leave and offered a carefully worded response on the situation:

"I wouldn't put a timescale on it. I think [in] these situations it has to be right for the football club, and everything then is taken into context below that… But the club will make the right decision with all the information that it has, and ultimately to try and move the club forward in whatever way that is.”

**Newcastle's Dilemma: A Difficult Decision.**

The financial implications of selling Isak are significant, potentially setting a new English transfer record. This could be tempting for Newcastle, but there’s also the consideration of replacing him, with alternative targets like Benjamin Sesko costing up to £70m. 


With Isak's desire to leave and the potential financial gain, it seems Newcastle is facing an impossible decision. While they may attempt to hold onto their star striker, the situation points towards a potential transfer this summer.

## Cagliari Set Sights on €7M Inter Striker

**Sardinian Club Leading Race for Young Forward**


Cagliari are leading the charge to sign Inter Milan striker Sebastiano Esposito this summer, aiming for a deal worth around €7 million. This comes according to transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla. 


The 23-year-old Italian Under-21 forward spent last season on loan with Empoli, but the Tuscans opted not to make the move permanent.  Esposito subsequently traveled with the Inter squad to the United States for the Club World Cup, appearing in all four matches and starting two.


While several clubs have expressed interest in Esposito, including Fiorentina, Cagliari appear to be the most serious contenders. Inter are reportedly considering using Esposito as part of a cash-plus-player offer to Parma for defender Giovanni Leoni.



**Esposito's Future Uncertain**

It seems increasingly likely that Esposito will depart Inter this summer.  Cagliari's strong interest and reported €7 million bid suggest they may be close to securing his signature.

##  Diaz's Bayern Move Appears Sealed: Liverpool's Stance "Never Truly True"

**Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is edging closer to a move to Bayern Munich after months of speculation.** Despite the club's consistent public stance that Diaz was not for sale, sources reveal that Liverpool were always open to selling him at the right price. 

###  A Summer of Swirling Rumours

Both Barcelona and Bayern Munich made offers for Diaz in June, but Liverpool rejected them both. While Bayern clearly have the financial resources to meet Liverpool's demands, it took a series of developments to solidify this potential transfer.


**Barcelona Pull Out of the Race:** The Catalan giants have signed Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United, rendering their need for Diaz obsolete.

**Al-Nassr Shifts Focus:**  Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, who were also in the running for Diaz, are reportedly turning their attention to Portuguese playmaker João Félix. Even if they don't secure Félix, their interest in Diaz appears to have waned.


###  Bayern Munich: The Frontrunner

With Barcelona and Al-Nassr out of the picture, Bayern Munich remains the most likely destination for Diaz. Fabrizio Romano reports that Bayern is prepared to make a significant offer for the Colombian winger, effectively ending months of speculation and paving the way for a highly anticipated transfer.

## Milan Makes Final Push for Jashari: €35 Million Offer on the Table

**Club Brugge Faces Crucial Decision as Deadline Looms**

Milan director Igli Tare has issued a firm ultimatum to Club Brugge regarding their star player, Ardon Jashari. The Rossoneri have tabled what they claim is their final offer of €35 million for the 22-year-old Swiss international, leaving the Belgian club with a critical decision to make.


"We have a good relationship with Club Brugge and have made a further offer for Jashari," Tare told Gazzetta. "We consider the offer important and appropriate to the player’s value. We are not willing to go any further.”

This latest bid follows an initial offer of €32.5 million plus €2 million in add-ons, significantly increasing Milan's commitment to securing Jashari's services. 


**Jashari Agrees to Terms, But Bruges Stands Firm**

Jashari has reportedly already agreed to personal terms with Milan, expressing his desire to join the Serie A giants this season.  However, Club Brugge captain Hans Vanaken recently warned Milan that the asking price for Jashari was €40 million, creating a significant gap between the two clubs.


Despite the financial pressure,  Club Brugge has kept Jashari out of their recent matches against Genk and Union Saint-Gilloise, suggesting they are holding firm in their valuation of the player.  The question remains: will Club Brugge accept Milan's final offer, or will this transfer saga continue?

This move signifies Inter's determination to secure Lookman's signature swiftly.


**Inter Milan Eyeing a Swift Deal**
While their initial offer fell short, Inter is determined to make a deal happen quickly.  With the new bid ready to be submitted this week, it seems they are ready to split the difference and reach an agreement with Atalanta.

##  Inter Milan Wants €15 Million for Asllani, but Albanian Star Stands Firm

**Transfer standoff brewing as midfielder rejects Real Betis offer.**

Inter Milan finds itself locked in a transfer battle with midfielder Kristjan Asllani. The Albanian international has rejected a move to Real Betis, leaving Inter seeking a buyer willing to meet their €15 million asking price. 

Asllani, who joined Inter from Empoli in 2022 for a fee of €14 million, has yet to solidify his place in the starting lineup despite receiving playing time across all three seasons. While Inter acknowledges Asllani's contributions, they feel he hasn't reached the expected level and is no longer part of their future plans.

**Asllani's Serie A Preference Complicates Matters**

The situation becomes more complex as Asllani has made it clear he only wants to leave Inter for a team within Serie A. However, no clubs in Italy have expressed willingness to match Inter’s valuation. This leaves Real Betis as the most interested party, but Asllani's refusal to accept their offer has frustrated Inter.


The Nerazzurri remain confident in securing €15 million for Asllani, a figure they believe reflects his potential. However, finding a suitor willing to meet both Asllani's Serie A preference and Inter's financial demands remains the biggest obstacle in this transfer saga.

## Juventus Legend Pjanic: Tonali is The Perfect Midfield Addition 

**Former Bianconeri Star Gives Verdict on Newcastle Star**

Juventus legend Miralem Pjanic believes Sandro Tonali is exactly what his former club needs to strengthen their midfield.  The Italian international's performances for Newcastle have caught the eye of Pjanic, who sees him as a perfect fit for the Turin giants.

"I would sign Tonali; someone like him is worth the effort," Pjanic told Gazzetta dello Sport. "He’s Italian and has great potential. He won with Milan and has continued to improve in England. He’s humble, strong, and with a touch of quality: what Juventus need."

Juventus' pursuit of Tonali isn't new. The club was linked with the midfielder before the end of last season when Cristiano Giuntoli served as director. Now, Damien Comolli holds that position, but Pjanic believes a move for Tonali should still be prioritized. 


**Pjanic Welcomes Chiellini's Rise and Talks Allegri's Milan Move**

Pjanic expressed his happiness with recent developments at Juventus, highlighting the promotion of Giorgio Chiellini to a more prominent role.  "I always have Juventus in my heart, and I’m happy to see Giorgio at the club – someone who brings stability and a sense of belonging, appreciated by players and fans alike," Pjanic said. "Chiello loves Juventus. He knows the history and the locker room; he will be incredibly valuable.”

The former midfielder also commented on Massimiliano Allegri's appointment as Milan manager.  "I often talk to Max, we had wonderful years together at Juventus,” Pjanic revealed. “He’s a friend and it’s great to see him in Milan. He and Conte are the best in Italy, the most successful. Few handle the pressure like Allegri. Milan are aiming to finish in the top four, but when you have somebody like Max on the bench, it’s normal to expect even more.”

## Vlahovic's Social Media Slip Sparks Milan Transfer Rumors

**Striker Briefly Likes Leao Post Amidst Speculation**

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic sparked fresh transfer rumors with a fleeting social media interaction. The Serbian forward briefly liked an Instagram post from AC Milan star Rafael Leao celebrating the Rossoneri's 4-2 victory over Liverpool in a pre-season friendly.  Fans quickly noticed the like, prompting Vlahovic to swiftly remove it. Despite the quick deletion, speculation surrounding a potential move to Milan has intensified.

**Agent Meeting with Juventus Looms**

Vlahovic's agent, Darko Ristic, is scheduled to meet with Juventus in the coming days to discuss his client's future.  This meeting takes place amidst reports that new Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has already held informal talks with Vlahovic, expressing a desire to reunite with the striker at San Siro.

**Allegri Seeks Reunion with Former Player**


As previously reported by Football Italia, Allegri, who coached Vlahovic during his time at Juventus, is eager for a reunion.  The Milan manager views Vlahovic as a key piece in his plans for the upcoming season.

**Vlahovic's Future Uncertain**

Vlahovic, currently earning €12 million in the final year of his contract with Juventus, is no longer a central figure in Igor Tudor’s plans. The Bianconeri are reportedly open to offers for the former Fiorentina star.


This recent social media incident adds another layer to an already complex situation surrounding Vlahovic's future. It remains to be seen whether these rumors will translate into a concrete transfer move in the coming weeks.

##  Premier League Beckons, But Bisseck Shuns England for Inter Milan 

**German Defender Chooses Italian Stay Over Big Money Moves**


MILAN, ITALY – Yann Bisseck's impressive two seasons with Inter Milan have made him a hot commodity this summer transfer window. The German international defender has reportedly turned down lucrative offers from Premier League clubs to remain in Italy.

Bisseck joined Inter for around €7 million from Danish side Aarhus in 2023. That fee now seems like an absolute steal, as Bisseck quickly solidified his place in the starting eleven after a brief settling-in period.  


**A Bargain at Twice the Price?**

The 24-year-old's rapid rise has sparked interest from Premier League sides seeking to bolster their defenses. According to Italian transfer reporter Matteo Moretto, several clubs made inquiries about Bisseck's availability this summer.

However, despite the tempting financial incentives and a potential move to one of Europe's top leagues, Bisseck chose to remain loyal to Inter.

“Instead, Bisseck’s priority is still to stay at Inter for another season,” reported Moretto. 


 **Loyalty Over Riches: A Champion in the Making?**  
Bisseck's decision highlights his commitment to Inter Milan and his belief in the team's future success. This loyalty could pay off handsomely if he continues his impressive form, potentially becoming a cornerstone of Inter's defense for years to come.

## Black & Blue Business: Inter Milan's Growing Reliance on Atalanta Talent

**Lookman Deal Could Make La Dea Top Supplier to Nerazzurri**


Inter Milan's affinity for Atalanta extends beyond their shared black and blue colours and Lombardia location. 

The Nerazzurri have consistently turned to their rivals for talent, making Atalanta the second most-frequent source of signings over the past decade. This trend could reach a tipping point with the potential acquisition of Ademola Lookman this summer.


**A Shared History in Black & Blue**

While both clubs share a distinct visual identity and geographic proximity, transfers between Inter and Atalanta offer players an easy transition. Familiar surroundings and shared tactical philosophies contribute to a smoother integration process.

**Inter's Growing Reliance on La Dea**

Since the 2015-16 season, three Atalanta players have made the switch to the San Siro: Roberto Gagliardini, Alessandro Bastoni, and Robin Gosens. This trio cost Inter a total of €81 million, placing Atalanta second only to Sassuolo in terms of transfer spending for Inter during this period (€84.7 million).

A major deal for Lookman would propel Atalanta to the top of that list, highlighting the growing strength of their player development pipeline and Inter's reliance on it.


**Global Competition for Atalanta Talent**

Despite Inter's recent dominance in transfers from Atalanta, two clubs have spent more acquiring La Dea players over the last decade: Juventus (€116.4 million) and Manchester United (€99.1 million).  The latter club secured the services of Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta, showcasing the global appeal of their talent pool.
