Rome, 20 June 2025 – In the offices of Casa Milan, these are hours of very intense work for Igli Tare and the Rossoneri management to try to strengthen the squad available to Mister Massimiliano Allegri. It is no longer a secret that, especially after the departure of Tijjani Reijnders, the department that Milan wants to primarily shore up the midfield. One of the profiles at the top of the wish list is that of Javi Guerra, born in 2003 and currently playing for Valencia, who rejected the first offer of 20 million including bonuses from the Rossoneri. The feeling is that a new important Milan offensive could arrive in the next few hours, given the player's appreciation for the Milan project. The club from via Aldo Rossi, always for the midfield, is also working on a more experienced profile such as Granite Xakha of Bayer Leverkusen. The pressure on the player – who, like Guerra, has made it clear that he likes the destination Milanello – is increasingly strong and around 10 million have been put on the plate of Leverkusen. Even in this case, the figure has not yet been deemed sufficient but the squaring of the circle can soon be found. For the attack, however, the hot name remains that of Dusan Vlahovic, which Juventus however values ​​at no less than 25-30 million to avoid a capital loss on the balance sheet. Another obstacle of no small importance is the salary of almost 12 million per year that the Serbian receives. Money that could be very useful to the Bianconeri to pay the termination clause to free Francisco Conceicao: from Portugal today the news has in fact bounced that Juve would like to focus again on the Portuguese winger who has impressed quite a bit in these months in black and white. To get to the lady, however, the 30 million of the clause are needed, some of which could come from the sale of Vlahovic but also from that of Nico Gonzalez, who ended up in Lazio's sights.

De Laurentiis and Conte's Napoli are also very active, who has set his sights on the stars of Bologna (who are close to bringing Ciro Immobile back to Italy) Dan ndoye e Sam Beukema. There is openness from the rossoblù club on a possible sale of the Belgian (who has not yet found an agreement on the salary with the Neapolitans) but for a figure not less than 40-45 million, while the wall to get to the Dutch central defender appears insurmountable, also because the other central defender could leave Emilia, John Lucumi, on which the Roma. Even in this case, however, the price is quite clear and high: the 28 million of the termination clause in the Colombian's contract, a figure that for now the Capitoline team does not seem to want to spend. Finally, these are also hot hours at the home of Fiorentina which, after having secured Edin Dzeko for the attack, aims to give mister Stefano Pioli - who should be announced in July, once the contract with Al Nassr is resolved - also the young Italian talent Jacopo Fazzini: according to what was reported by Sky Sport - the Viola are in fact one step away from the arc with Empoli for a figure of just over 10 million euros.
