The transfer market remains active with numerous ongoing negotiations and completed deals. Here`s a wrap-up of the latest movements:
Atalanta`s Pursuit of Sulemana Continues: Contacts between Atalanta and Southampton regarding Kamaldeen Sulemana are progressing. The Bergamo club aims to secure the winger for coach Ivan Juric. While yesterday saw no significant breakthroughs, Atalanta hopes the English club will lower their demands from around €25 million towards the €17-18 million mark in the coming days to bridge the current valuation gap.
Immobile Nearing Bologna Return: Ciro Immobile could soon make a Serie A comeback with Bologna. The Rossoblù have initiated talks with the former Lazio striker`s representatives. A crucial step is needed first: the termination of Immobile`s contract with Besiktas, which runs until June 2026. Bologna has reportedly offered a salary around €2 million, with Besiktas potentially covering any difference via a severance package. This complex negotiation needs resolution by July 1st, otherwise, the player must return to Istanbul for training.
New Suitors for Shomurodov: Eldor Shomurodov is still expected to leave Roma, attracting interest particularly from abroad. Turkish club Basaksehir has reportedly shown interest in the forward. However, a new contender has emerged from France, with Rennes reportedly contacting Roma, according to the *Gazzetta dello Sport*. Roma will evaluate offers from both Turkey and Ligue 1 for the striker who faces a potentially busy summer.
Torino Eyes Sassuolo Duo Turati and Volpato, Elmas Departs: Torino might establish a transfer link with Sassuolo for potential signings. With Vanja Milinkovic Savic potentially leaving (Napoli and Monaco reportedly interested), Torino needs a new goalkeeper. Elia Caprile was a preference, but Cagliari`s permanent signing made the price likely too high. After exploring Montipò (Verona) and Falcone (Lecce), Stefano Turati of Sassuolo has emerged as a new target. Discussions with Sassuolo could also extend to other players, notably Italian-Australian winger/midfielder Cristian Volpato, who is available and can play various attacking roles.
Today marked the deadline for Serie A clubs to exercise buy options on players on loan. Torino will bid farewell to Elif Elmas, who arrived from Leipzig in January and impressed. The Macedonian midfielder returns to Leipzig, who have ruled out another loan. A permanent departure would cost around €20 million, and Leipzig expects concrete offers from the Premier League in the coming days.
Cagliari Secures Caprile, Piccoli, and Adopo Permanently: As expected, Cagliari confirmed the permanent signing of goalkeeper Elia Caprile after exercising their €8 million buy option. Following Caprile, Cagliari also made the signing of striker Roberto Piccoli permanent. Completing a trio of permanent deals, Cagliari also acquired midfielder Michel Adopo from Atalanta.
De Cuyper Attracts Brighton, Milan, and Roma: Maxim De Cuyper is set to leave Club Brugge this transfer window. The Belgian left-back born in 2000 is a highly-rated talent from the club`s renowned academy and is now part of the senior national team setup. Valued around €20 million, Brighton is reportedly pushing hard for his signature, though Italian clubs Milan and Roma are also interested in the player who is under contract until 2027.
Camarda Set for Lecce Loan: Milan`s promising young striker Francesco Camarda is ready for his first professional experience. The 2008-born forward, who featured for both Milan`s first team and U23 squad last season, is expected to join Lecce on loan with an option to buy and a Milan counter-option.
Simeone a Dream Target for Pisa: Newly promoted Pisa dreams of signing Napoli striker Giovanni Simeone for their Serie A return. The move would be significant for the Tuscan club, where Simeone`s father, Diego, started his Italian career between 1990 and 1992. Talks between Pisa and Napoli are expected soon. Pisa is also reportedly interested in other Napoli players like Pasquale Mazzocchi and Alessio Zerbin.
Napoli Agrees Terms with Noa Lang: Napoli is strengthening its attack and has reached an agreement on personal terms with Dutch forward Noa Lang from PSV. According to Sky Sport, the player has accepted the move. Napoli now needs to finalize a deal with PSV, with a potential transfer fee around €28 million.
Bologna`s Van Bommel Pursuit Stalls: Bologna`s primary attacking target is Ruben Van Bommel from AZ Alkmaar, a club they`ve dealt with previously. However, talks have stalled. AZ`s valuation, starting at a fixed €20 million plus bonuses, is considered excessive by Bologna, and the player is not actively pushing for a move. Bologna may need to explore other options.
Pasalic Renews with Atalanta: Reports linking Mario Pasalic with moves to English clubs like Sunderland or Leeds United due to his contract situation are incorrect. According to TuttoMercatoWeb.com, the Croatian midfielder`s contract renewal with Atalanta for another three years is already agreed upon and merely awaits official announcement. He is set to stay in Bergamo.
