But today there are also other transfer news; let’s look at the most important ones.
Juventus, Guido Rodriguez takes the lead
Juventus aims to strengthen its midfield in January, and Guido Rodriguez has become the favorite: in the last few hours, his agents and the Bianconeri club have intensified contacts, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sportitalia.
The player seems to like the destination, and the price set by West Ham appears affordable: around 10 million euros.
Milan, Cherif if Nkunku leaves + Dier proposed
If Nkunku (who is highly sought after by Fenerbahce) were to leave, Milan could target Sidiki Cherif: a 2006-born striker from Angers. The player is a name the club would have tried to sign during the next summer anyway.

In mid-December, according to Tuttosport, there were talks between the player’s agents and Milan, also because Cherif is being targeted by some German clubs.
In defense, Dier from Monaco has been proposed: an alternative to Gatti, Kim, and Skriniar, who remain almost impossible profiles to sign in January.
Inter, offer for Mlacic
As revealed by journalist Pasquale Guarro of calciomercato.com, Inter has made an official offer of 5.5 million for Branimir Mlacic: a 2007-born defender from Hajduk Split.
If the deal goes through, the idea would be to leave Mlacic on loan at the Croatian club until June, and then bring him into the squad for the summer training camp.
Napoli, without Amorim the Mainoo deal gets complicated
Amorim’s dismissal from Manchester United further complicates Mainoo’s departure from the English club, reveals Matteo Moretto: “It’s a situation that’s getting more complicated, because for Kobbie Mainoo the real problem wasn’t United, but the coach.

“Amorim never saw Mainoo as an indispensable player for United and never made a secret of it. Now Amorim is leaving and this could have an impact on Napoli, who have long been in talks with the agents, always had a good feeling with the player and his representatives, but never got United’s go-ahead to let him leave.”
Roma, interest in Oosterwolde
In addition to the names of Vavro and Dragusin, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport a new profile has emerged for Roma’s defense: Jayden Oosterwolde, a Dutch center-back born in 2001 who plays for Fenerbahce.
This would be a return to Italy for Oosterwolde, who played a year and a half at Parma from January 2022 to the summer of 2023, when he was then sold for 6 million to the Turkish club.
Lazio, Basic proposed to Roma
According to Il Tempo, negotiations for the renewal of Toma Basic are currently stalled due to the gap between demand and offer. This situation has led the Croatian midfielder’s entourage to explore alternative solutions on the market.

Among the options considered is also an inquiry with Roma: the agent reportedly proposed the player to Massara for a possible addition to the squad at the end of the season or already in January. For now, however, no concrete signs of interest have come from Trigoria.
Fiorentina, Fazzini stays and 2 midfield targets
As La Gazzetta dello Sport writes, the negotiations between Fazzini and Lecce are not taking off: the player would like to stay in Florence during this transfer window.
On the incoming market, Gianluca Di Marzio reports: there remains strong interest in Brescianini (who is also being targeted by Cagliari and Genoa) and in Samardzic, although the latter is considered non-transferable by Palladino.
