Ferragosto in full transfer mode as Serie A clubs chase deals abroad and at home
Juventus and Vlahovic on the move?
Juventus are active in the market and must trim their squad of surplus players before anything else. One name consistently mentioned for an exit is Dusan Vlahovic, with the Serbian striker’s status cooling as talks advance. Newcastle would reportedly be ready to move for Vlahovic if Alexander Isak leaves for Liverpool, leaving the English side with a decisive target in the Bianconeri’s talisman if the Isak deal goes through.
Milan eyeing a Bayern defender
Milan have shown concrete interest in Josip Stanisic, the right-back from Bayern Munich. However, Bayern has swiftly closed the door on negotiations, insisting Stanisic remains an important part of the squad and not available for sale.
Inter weighing Pavard departure
Inter could soon part with Benjamin Pavard, a move that would reopen the door to other defensive options. Galatasaray, NEOM and Lille are reportedly among the clubs showing interest in the French defender, who Inter value at just over 20 million euros. At present, Pavard remains the clearest transferable piece in Inter’s defensive lineup, and it remains to be seen which club will come forward first with a formal bid.
Napoli and Nico González on the radar
Napoli are monitoring Nico González, with Atletico Madrid also in the mix for the Argentine striker. Napoli’s approach is described as a probe rather than a concrete step, and it remains to be seen if Atletico will push to accelerate a deal with Juventus.
Roma and Kumbulla’s potential exit
Roma are navigating a busy market, including a possible sale of Manu Koné to Inter to fund new attacking additions. At the same time, Marash Kumbulla could depart, with Mallorca reportedly his first choice destination after being on the radar of other Spanish and Italian clubs. An economic agreement between Roma and Mallorca is yet to be found.
Lazio sticking to their guns as Castellanos draws interest
Lazio have set a hard line: no major selling of their key players this summer due to market constraints. This stance has kept Valentín Castellanos in Formello for now, despite Flamengo’s interest in recent months. Zenit St. Petersburg has also shown concrete interest, complicating the picture for Lazio.
Fiorentina eye Pablo Marí as a defender reset
For Fiorentina, Pablo Marí has attracted attention from Olympiacos and Alavés, who are exploring a return to Spain before the market closes. Marí, who arrived in January by request, spent much of the summer on the fringes and could leave to make room for a new defender.
Summary and outlook
As Ferragosto screens glow and fans flood to the sea, the transfer market remains lively across Serie A clubs. Juve continue cleaning house with a potential Vlahovic departure, Milan and Inter weigh asset moves with alternatives in mind, Napoli probe for new attacking options, Roma reassess their defensive depth, Lazio protect their core, and Fiorentina and others scan the defensive market. The window stays open, and a handful of these rumors could crystallize into concrete deals in the coming weeks, reshaping the approaches of Italy’s big clubs ahead of the new season.
Additional value to consider
– If Vlahovic moves, Juventus might prioritize signing a more cost-efficient striker or shift to a different tactical setup, which could affect their transfer strategy in the attacking department.
– Milan’s stance on Stanisic emphasizes how important squad harmony and coach confidence are in decision-making at big clubs, even when potential reinforcements surface.
– Inter’s Pavard situation could open room for younger defensive options or a different profile of defender, impacting their defensive balance for the season.
– Lazio’s rigidity suggests they may rely on internal development or late-market opportunities rather than high-cost purchases.
Potential positive takeaway
The activity signals a healthy, competitive market where clubs are trying to strengthen thoughtfully rather than overextend financially. Fans can be hopeful that some of these rumors may translate into practical, strategically sound signings that bolster Serie A’s competitiveness.
