Transfer Buzz
– Free agent striker Dominique Calvert Lewin plans to part ways with his agent to negotiate a deal with Manchester United directly, according to The Sun. The 28-year-old, who exited Everton after his contract ended in June, has been linked to a lucrative transfer to Old Trafford. However, Benjamin Sesco was signed by Man United recently. The prospects remain open for Calvert-Lewin should Joshua Zilkie or Rasmushøjlund not fit the bill.
– With Giacomo Ruspadri heading to Atletico Madrid, Gazzetta Dello Sports reports that Napoli is keen on acquiring Manchester City’s Jack Grealish, though his €15 million salary is seen as excessive. The club is also looking at Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa, Shakhtar Donetsk’s Kevin, and RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa. Everton may look into loans as they aim to stay in the Premier League, even if it means covering a portion of the player’s wages.
– Napoli is rekindling interest in AC Milan and US midfielder Yunus, as per Corriere Dello Sport. Following an unproductive discussion about Juventus’ Fabio Miretti moving for €14-15 million, Napoli is revisiting signing Musa for €25 million, though Nottingham Forest is also keen to pay €30 million for him, with Musa preferring a stay in Italy. Benfica’s Florentino is also on Naples’ radar.
– Roma has shown interest in Juventus and USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie, according to Tuttosport. The 26-year-old has garnered interest from Bundesliga, Premier League, and Turkish Super Lig clubs, even though Bianconeri have plans until 2028, with no official offers yet made.
– AC Milan is reportedly close to signing Genoa center-back Koni de Winter, as reported by Gazzetta Dero Sports. With Rossoneri‘s center-back Marick Chio moving to Newcastle United, Milan is considering Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, Renato Vega, and Axel Tuanzebe. Complicated talks are ongoing with Arsenal, who are seeking €35 million for Jakub Kiwior. While Nikola Milenkovic is an option, securing him is a challenge.
