Milan strengthen defence with Gila capture
AC Milan have reached an agreement with Lazio to sign defender Mario Gila, with personal terms already secured for the Spanish centre-back. The Rossoneri finalised the deal after recent meetings with the player’s representatives, marking a significant addition to their defensive ranks ahead of the new campaign.
The transfer sees Gila swap the Stadio Olimpico for the San Siro, providing Milan with additional cover at the back. Negotiations between the two clubs progressed swiftly once personal terms were established, allowing the defender to prepare for a new chapter in his career in northern Italy.
Juventus confirm Massara appointment
Juventus have formally announced Frederic Massara as their new Chief Football Officer, placing him in charge of the club’s footballing operations and strategic planning. The appointment comes as the Bianconeri continue to reshape their hierarchy, with Massara tasked with overseeing transfer activity and squad development.
Club icon Giorgio Chiellini has also accepted a new position within the Juventus organisation, moving into an off-field role after concluding his playing career. The former Italy international brings extensive experience to his new duties, though the specific nature of his responsibilities has not been detailed by the Turin side.
Inter pursue Liverpool midfielder
Inter Milan are preparing to submit an improved offer for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones as they seek to reinforce their engine room. The Nerazzurri view the England international as a priority target and are expected to return with an enhanced bid after initial approaches failed to secure an agreement with the Premier League club.
Any potential deal for Jones would require substantial negotiation, with Liverpool holding firm on their valuation. Inter must decide whether to increase their proposal significantly as they look to add quality and depth to their midfield options for the forthcoming season.
Zaniolo extends Udinese stay
Nicolò Zaniolo has committed his future to Udinese by agreeing terms on a contract extension that will keep him at the Friulian outfit. The Italian midfielder had attracted interest from rival clubs but has chosen to continue his development in Udine rather than seek a transfer elsewhere.
The agreement ensures Udinese retain one of their key creative forces for the upcoming campaign. Zaniolo’s decision to extend his contract provides valuable stability for the club as they prepare for another season of Serie A competition.
