Serie A 2026 transfer saga: Romero, Juventus keeper, youth safety rule
Argentina centre‑back Cristian Romero, currently at Tottenham, is being pursued by several Serie A clubs. Barcelona have opened talks, while Inter have listed him as a priority defender and Napoli have sent a scouting report; all clubs note a price tag of roughly €50‑55 million that Tottenham regards as high.
Juventus are active on the goalkeeper market. They have contacted Parma about Japanese prospect Zion Suzuki, are maintaining interest in Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario and have been in protracted talks with Aston Villa over Emiliano Martínez, with options ranging from a loan‑with‑obligation‑to‑buy to a straightforward purchase.
The club is also negotiating with Lyon over forward Loïs Openda and evaluating other targets such as Parma forward Zion Suzuki, highlighting a broad recruitment drive.
Lazio, needing defensive reinforcements, have identified Valencia defender Eray Comert and have signed 2009‑born striker Pietro La Corte from Palermo for their youth sector.
Separately, Como have introduced a new protocol limiting heading drills for academy players to protect brain health, a measure endorsed by former defender Raphaël Varane.
