Italian clubs busy with summer transfer negotiations

Several Serie A clubs are active in the upcoming summer transfer window. Juventus is in talks with Bologna over defender Jhon Lucumí, but the clubs differ on valuation, with Bologna reportedly demanding more than €25 million. The Turin side is also scouting forward Ricardo Pepi and winger Omar Marmoush after their World Cup performances, while it weighs a possible loan‑then‑buy deal for French striker Randal Kolo Muani from PSG. Bologna, meanwhile, has opened a casting for a left‑back to replace the departing Charalampos Lykogiannis and is considering several young prospects such as Jorge Salinas, Tiago Araujo and Dion Gallapeni. Atalanta is reviewing its squad, looking at options on both flanks and in midfield ahead of the new season. Napoli’s management, under incoming coach Massimiliano Allegri, is targeting emerging talents spotted at the World Cup, including goalkeeper Matej Kovar, midfielder Johan Manzambi and teenage forward Gil Mora. Lower‑division clubs such as Castelnuovo are also confirming roster moves, while Lecce is planning midfield reshuffles. All movements aim to strengthen squads ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
