Inter Milan have withdrawn from a deal to sign Anan Khalaili after the defender failed his medical examination, club president Beppe Marotta confirmed. The collapse of the transfer, announced during pre-season preparations, forces the Nerazzurri to pursue alternative defensive targets. Reports indicate they will now focus on Guela Doué of Strasbourg.
Meanwhile, Paulo Dybala has ended speculation over his future by signing a contract extension with Roma until June 2027. The Argentine forward has committed to the Giallorossi amid interest from other clubs, securing his stay in the Italian capital for an additional two years.
Elsewhere in Serie A, Italy international Diego Coppola has completed a permanent transfer to Paris FC. The defender, who spent the second half of last season on loan with the French club, has moved for a fee of €20 million.
Lazio are strengthening their backline with Danilho Doekhi arriving in Rome to undergo medical tests ahead of a free transfer. The Dutch centre-back left Union Berlin when his contract expired on 30 June. The Biancocelesti are also reportedly close to securing Dinamo Zagreb defender Sergi Dominguez, though they remain unwilling to meet a €15 million asking price.
English interest in Serie A talent
Aston Villa have made enquiries regarding Milan defender Pervis Estupinan, according to reports. The Ecuador international joined the Rossoneri from Brighton just one year ago, but the Premier League side are monitoring his situation.
Leeds United have emerged as favourites to sign Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic, ahead of Newcastle, Sunderland and Bournemouth. The Neroverdi value the player at €40 million, though Juventus—who hold a 50 per cent sell-on clause—would receive €20 million from any such deal. However, the Bianconeri have reportedly withdrawn from direct negotiations after financial demands increased.
Juventus frustrated by PSG demands
Juventus appear unlikely to secure Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani this summer. General Manager Giovanni Carnevali stated that the French club’s demands are “too high,” warning that the Turin side will turn to alternative targets unless an agreement is reached. Carnevali also dismissed links to Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi, noting that Juventus do not require a player with his specific characteristics.
Legal dispute and other movements
Genoa are preparing legal action against the agents of winger Elliot Stroud. The Swedish player had reportedly signed a pre-contract agreement with the Grifone before opting to join Hull City instead. The Rossoblu are also set to welcome former Bournemouth midfielder Hamed Traorè for medical examinations.
Other confirmed movements include Cagliari conducting medical tests for Harry Winks and Jacopo Fazzini, while Atalanta are preparing an opening offer for Bayer Leverkusen talent Kerim Alajbegovic. Fiorentina have agreed to sell midfielder Jonas Harder to Basel and are targeting Trabzonspor’s Christ Inao Oulai.
