This season has been one in decline from last season, as they looked to build on last season’s third place finish. However, the loss of Gian Piero Gasperini as head coach, set the team back. Atalanta’s luck was made worse, when they hired Ivan Juric. He flopped hard for Atalanta, being fired by November.

Raffaele Palladino, was the man to replace Juric and has done a good job so far. He has got Atalanta back up to 7th place this season, being only five points off a European place. This has lead to Atalanta looking to build a team that fits Palladino for the second half of this season.

This lead to the signing of Giacomo Raspadori from Atletico Madrid, beating Roma to the punch.(read more here) However, this means that someone will have to leave Atalanta to make way for Raspadori. This will be Daniel Maldini as he is set to be on his way out of Bergamo.

Juventus and Napoli, where both linked to signing Maldini, however he is set to go somewhere else. Lazio will be the team that manages to sign Maldini, on what will be a loan to buy deal. This comes from a report from Fabrizio Romano via youtube which calls the deal all but complete.

Maldini is set to join Lazio on a loan to buy deal with a total package worth 15 million euros. Lazio will pay Atalanta a one million euro loan fee to have Maldini until the end of the season. Lazio will then have a buy option at the end of the season worth 14 million euros if they redeem it.

Juventus have been looking for ways to fill a void up top for most of this season. This comes as Vlahovic was set to leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season. However, he missed three months only returning last weekend off the bench. Vlahovic value has now tanked due to him not playing.

This is making it hard for him to find a deal at a new club for next season. The door for Vlahovic to stay with Juventus has now opened, as he is now open to the deal according to Nico Schira. Talks between the two teams are progressing currently, as his renewal is now a priority for Juventus.

The renewal is expected to be completed soon between the two as Juventus have failed to find a suitable replacement for Vlahovic. Jonathan David and Lois Openda where both bought in this summer to replace Dusan. However, the two of them have been unsuccessful combining for only six league goals.

Both could already be on their way out as, Juventus want to find support for Vlahovic in attack. According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Jonathan David could be included in a swap deal to bring in another striker to Turin. This would see David make a move to Paris Saint Germain for next season.

PSG, lead football advisor, Luis Campos was crucial in Lille signing David back in 2020. Campos could look to bring David with him once again for PSG. He could do so by giving up Randal Kolo Muani who has been a target for Juventus as a striker. Luciano Spalletti is on board with signing Kolo Muani to build an attack for Juventus.

Inter Milan have been one of Italy’s and Europe’s best attacks so far this season. So far this season they have scored 65 goals in the league through 29 games. This puts Inter comfortably first in the category compared to the rest of the league. The second closest team, Juventus sits on only 51 goals.

While Lautaro Martinez, clear world class talent has been helpful, there has been other reasons. Pio Esposito and Ange Yoan Bonny have both become key rotational names for Inter throughout this season. The youngsters have given Chivu new possibilities for his attack this season.

This has left Inter trying to decide who will lead their attack into next season. Marcus Thuram name has therefore come up in the rumours multiple times as there is no guarantee he stays. He has been linked to other European clubs, including FC Barcelona multiple times this season.

However, their has still been issues with these teams, as affording Thuram is an issue. Inter Milan won’t let him leave for cheap, and it could even take Thuram’s 85 million euros release clause to see him leave Milan this summer. This could be an issue as top European teams would likely not be willing to spend this.

However, TuttoSport are now reporting that there is a different side that would. They are reporting that a side in the Saudi Pro League could decide to make a bid for Thuram. Many of Saudi’s top sides are back by rich owners who would be willing to invest the money to sign Thuram, which a European club wouldn’t. This could be the ket factor in seeing the deal get done if it is to happen this summer.

Juventus are now hopeful to make a move to try and sign Calafiori once again. However, this time they aren’t the only Serie A team interested with, Napoli, AC Milan and Inter Milan all keeping track of Calafiori. This has come as he has struggled a little bit for gametime this season.

It has been rare to see Calafiori to play a full ninety minutes for Arsenal this season. He has either been a key option off the bench for Mikel Arteta or started and be bought off before completing the full 90. This is what lead to the rumours of Calafiori moving back to Serie A.

However, according to TEAMtalk a deal for Calafiori to leave Arsenal is now unlikely. Arsenal have blocked any move for Calafiori as they aim to keep him in North London past this season. They also have no reason to sell Calafiori as he is not unhappy with the club.
