July 4, 2026 · Global
This article looks at the latest transfer news involving Italy's biggest clubs during the World Cup, including Juventus' interest in Leon Goretzka, Milan's bid for Mario Gila, and Roma's search for Greenwood.
During the 2026 World Cup, the transfer market is starting to heat up following the opening of the summer transfer window. Here is the biggest transfer news involving Italy's top clubs.
Juventus, Contact Updated with Goretzka
As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, Juventus' priority is to bring in a striker (Kolo Muani) and a goalkeeper (Dibu Martinez or Vicario), but contact has also been renewed with Leon Goretzka. "Goretzka sees Juventus as a credible option, but it is not the only one. He has 4/5 offers in Europe and outside Europe. He would prefer to stay in Europe; for him, it is more about the project than the money. It is good news for Juventus that Goretzka is open to a move, but we need to understand how the talks will develop. We are not yet at the stage where a deal is close to being done, just in contact with his agent."
Milan, Crazy Salary Background
Gianluca Di Marzio, in the podcast "Caffè Di Marzio," revealed some background regarding the large salary that Milan offered to Mario Gila: namely 5/5.5 million net per season. This very high figure (he will earn more than Pulisic) is possible thanks to the Growth Provision, which saves about 25% of the gross salary: about 2.5 million. This provision will be removed in 2024, but remains active for players who already took advantage of it before it was removed.
Inter, High Price for Other Targets
Although Inter are focused on negotiations for Chalobah and Khalaili, it is likely that the Nerazzurri will also want to strengthen the midfield in the coming months. The departures of Asllani, Pavard (salary 5 million), and especially Frattesi will be very influential. Among the profiles they like is Pisilli, but Roma do not want to sell him unless they receive a very high offer: namely 35 million, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Napoli, Kepa as Milinkovic's replacement?
Napoli are considering selling Milinkovic-Savic, who is valued at around 20 million. Among the possible replacements is Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has been put on the sell list by Arsenal. According to Il Mattino, Kepa's transfer fee is around 6 million euros, while his salary is not small: the goalkeeper currently earns 3.5 million euros.
Roma, Pushing for Greenwood but Wary of Atletico
As Corriere dello Sport wrote, for Greenwood "Roma are prepared to put a total offer of 45 million euros on the table, including bonuses, adding a small percentage to any future sales." However, according to Pedullà and Di Marzio, the Giallorossi must be wary of the competition, as Atletico Madrid like the player and could make an offer if they manage to sell Julian Alvarez or Sorloth in time. These negotiations could get very heated next week.
Lazio, Step for Piccoli
According to Tuttosport, Lazio are improving contacts for Roberto Piccoli: the aim is to sign him on loan with an option to buy, a formula that does not convince Fiorentina. La Viola prefers loans with purchase obligations, subject to achieving predetermined targets. Lucca now appears to be a further option for Lazio, given Allegri wants to assess him during pre-season training.
Fiorentina, Is Volpato "Offering"?
Cristian Volpato gave an interview to Diretta.it after Australia's elimination from the World Cup: "Fiorentina are a great team. They've had quite a difficult year, but the players are there, Viola Park is a top class facility, and I also know the coach. Many reasons to choose them? Yes, but at the moment I'm a Sassuolo player." The Neroverdi forward also did not deny links with Fiorentina: "Now I'm going on holiday and will switch off everything for a while. Then we'll think about it. My agents will take care of these things and I trust them."
