Serie A clubs ramp up summer transfer moves
Napoli is in a busy phase of the market, weighing the acquisition of Mario Gila, pursuing Benfica midfielder Richard Rios (valued at €35 million) and monitoring the interest of Boca Juniors winger Equiel Zeballos. The club also plans a loan decision on 18‑year‑old winger Emanuele Rao and looks to reduce its wage bill after the costly but under‑performing Lukaku.
Cagliari is close to finalising the signing of Swiss‑Italian midfielder Alessandro Romano from Roma for a total of about €6.5 million and is evaluating the future of young goalkeeper Elia Caprile, with Premier League sides such as Aston Villa and Tottenham among the suitors.
Lazio prepares for the imminent exit of defender Alessio Romagnoli to Al‑Sadd and is targeting a replacement, reportedly a €10 million‑plus centre‑back from Dinamo Zagreb. The club also has Mario Gila on its radar amid ongoing negotiations with Napoli.
Torino has entered the race for young forward Mattia Liberali, with clubs like Sassuolo, Bologna, Lazio and others submitting offers in the €6‑8 million range; Milan retains a 50 percent future sell‑on clause.
Bologna has outlined a demanding pre‑season programme, arranging friendlies against Brighton (England), Arminia Bielefeld and Heidenheim (Germany’s 2. Bundesliga), Iraklis (Greece) and Cambuur (Netherlands).
Pomigliano 1920 has completed the signing of centre‑back Luigi Velotti from Real Forio to bolster its defence for the upcoming season.
