One of the best signings that AS Roma managed to make this summer was full back Wesley Franca from Flamengo. The Giallorossi managed to beat, European giants like Bayern Munich and Juventus to the punch. Roma spent 25 million euros to complete the deal, however he has been worth it.

Wesley broke out during the Club World Cup with Flamengo, with hot form in the tournament. This is what lead Roma to signing him, and thankfully that form has carried over. He has been a constant on the right side for Roma this season scoring 3 goals with an assist to go along with it.

This great form hasn’t gone unnoticed by the rest of Europe, as Manchester City are preparing a bid according to Brazilian tabloid, Netfla. City could offer up to 50 million euros this summer, in the hopes to bring Wesley to the Premier League. Pep Guardiola is the one pushing for the move.

Manchester City might fail to win the Premier League for the second season in a row. This is something that has been unimaginable in Guardiola’s era at Manchester City, as he has been the Premier League’s most dominate managers. However, with Arsenal six points clear at the top it is a real possibility.

If City miss out on the title once again, they will likely go to the transfer market to improve their squad. Wesley could be one of their big signings, as Guardiola’s sides have been known to play with wing backs who can defend and attack. This is why they wanted Andrea Cambiaso last January and Wesley this summer.

However, Roma will likely not be willing to sell and won’t have any need. He has been a key player for the Giallorossi, so the possibility of him being sold is low. Especially as Roma, have a contract with Wesley until 2030, putting them under no pressure to sell.

Yesterday, Mohammed Salah announced to the world that he will be leaving Liverpool after this season. This season will be Salah’s ninth in Merseyside after joining from AS Roma in 2017. Salah has been a consistent starter through out his time in Liverpool, leaving them big shoes to fill to in replacing him.

The main name linked to replace Salah has currently been Michael Olise, from Bayern Munich. Olise has been excelling for Bayern this season in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League. He also already has Premier League experience having spent time at Crystal Palace.

This has lead to Liverpool looking for other names they can use as their overall attack especially with Salah gone. This has lead them to Juventus winger, Francisco Conceicao according to reports from RMC Sport. Liverpool like Conceicao because he is a younger, quick paced name which can spark their attack.

However, the deal will be hard for Liverpool to complete as Juventus see this as an opportunity to make some money off the sale. This comes from a report from TuttoSport which states that Juventus want to make 15 million euros on the sale of Conciecao compared to their initial fee.

Conceicao cost, Juventus 37 million when they signed him over the loan, and the buy option. This means that if Coneciao was to be sold to Liverpool it would likely cost them 50-60 million euros in this summer, which could make the deal off putting. Conceicao has also played down then rumours himself.

Conceicao said to reporters when asked on a move to Liverpool “I know there are rumours about a big club, but I’m already at a big club and I’m happy”. While this could be just a typical PR response it won’t help Liverpools chances to sign him this summer.

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.
