Serie A Transfer Buzz: Live Rumors and Done Deals Heating Up the Summer
As summer rolls on, the Serie A transfer window is bursting with action. From blockbuster rumors to confirmed signings, Italy’s top clubs are racing to reshape their squads ahead of the 2024–25 season. Whether it’s title hopefuls looking to reload or mid-table teams hunting for breakout stars, the transfer buzz is alive and well — and it’s only getting louder.
Here’s a roundup of the biggest stories and moves happening right now in Serie A.
Osimhen Still in the Headlines
One name continues to dominate the Italian transfer scene: Victor Osimhen. The Napoli striker, who led the club to a Scudetto in 2023, is widely expected to leave this summer. While Premier League clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal remain interested, a surprise contender has emerged — Juventus.
Despite the fact that Juve and Napoli are fierce domestic rivals, reports suggest that the Bianconeri are seriously considering a move for Osimhen, especially after bringing in Jonathan David from Lille. With Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis holding firm on the striker’s €120 million release clause, it remains to be seen if any club — Italian or otherwise — is willing to match it.
Juventus Making Moves
Under new manager Thiago Motta, Juventus are clearly not content with standing still. The signing of Canadian forward Jonathan David shows their intent to bring youth and energy to their attack. But Juve’s shopping list isn’t complete.
They remain linked with Riccardo Calafiori, the Bologna defender who thrived under Motta last season, as well as Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners, who could bring some much-needed creativity to the midfield. The overhaul is clearly underway in Turin.
AC Milan Search for a Striker
AC Milan are also in the market for a new forward following Olivier Giroud’s move to MLS. The Rossoneri have been connected to several names, including Joshua Zirkzee, Alvaro Morata, and Romelu Lukaku. With the attack now fully centered around Rafael Leão, the club needs a reliable finisher to complement him up front.
Meanwhile, they’ve already locked in midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who impressed last season, and are said to be eyeing more reinforcements across the midfield and defensive lines.
Inter Focused on Depth
Fresh off their 2023–24 title-winning campaign, Inter Milan are in no rush to rebuild — but that doesn’t mean they’re standing pat. Simone Inzaghi’s side is reportedly looking to add depth in both midfield and attack.
Rumors of a return for Lazar Samardžić, as well as interest in Albert Gudmundsson, suggest Inter want to bolster their squad without disrupting the chemistry that led to their success.
What’s Next?
With preseason camps about to begin, expect the transfer activity to accelerate. Clubs are eager to finalize squads, wrap up negotiations, and avoid last-minute scrambles.
One thing is clear: this summer’s Serie A transfer window is full of ambition, movement, and intrigue. Whether it’s Osimhen’s next destination, Juve’s aggressive rebuild, or Milan’s hunt for a new No. 9 — Italy’s top clubs are on the move, and fans should buckle up for a thrilling finish to the market.
