Serie A is one of the tightest leagues in the world this season, so all teams are looking for a way to get an edge on their competition. This is leading sides to fill their weakness, and for a lot of these teams they tend to be goalscoring, which means attackers are in high demand.

This has lead to Serie A sides looking at lower table players that they can sign to help boost their squad. Multipule sides have reported interest in signing Giovane Nascimento from Hellas Verona. Nascimento signed for Verona on a free this summer and could already be gone by January.

Nico Schira is currently reporting that multiple teams have interest in signing Nascimento if he is available. Firstly their is Lazio who sold Taty Castellanos to West Ham at the start of January. This has now left them searching for his replacment in January, and right now Nascimento is at the top of their list.

Lazio believe that they will be available for anywhere around 18-20 million euros so they have opened talks with Verona over a deal. Meanwhile Napoli are watching on with how Lazio negotiate with Verona, and could try and steal him away during the negotiations. However, they have already set their sights on two other attackers that they could possibly sign. (read more here)

Nico Schira has now added Juventus to the mix as they are still on the search to find a back-up for Kenan Yildiz in the attacking midfield position. Juventus would be open to spending around 20 million euros for Nascimento especially if they can make it a loan to buy which Verona are open too.

However, thats not the only names Juventus are watching to support Yildiz. Firstly there is Federico Chiesa who has been linked back to Turin, however those talks are slowing down. This is down to two disagreements one over the wage bill for Chiesa, and two for the Formula for the deal.

Liverpool want a straight buy while Juventus wants a loan to buy. They have also been following Daniel Maldini from Atalanta, but they could be falling into the same problems. This comes as TuttoSport reports that Atalanta wants a straight buy while Juventus want a loan to buy, to sign Maldini.

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.

Gennaro Gattuso is looking for young talent to build the future of the Azzuri’s squad around. There has been plenty of names which are younger and can come into the team. However, so far only one has been able to do so and hold their spot in the side. Riccardo Calafiori has been the only one able to do so currently.

Calafiori rise to stardom was at his time with Bologna under Thiago Motta. Bologna made a push and managed to qualify for the Champions League in his last season their. His top form saw him in make a move to join Arsenal the summer after, this was despite serious interest from Juventus.

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.

Italian football clubs are slowly looking to spend more money on transfers compared to other leagues. Part of this is down to poor TV rights deal, and Stadium Ownership which makes it hard for some clubs to raise capital for signings. This has meant that Italian sides have had to get creative to complete big signings.

An example of this was last summer was when Napoli signed Kevin De Bruyne as a free agent. De Bruyne has been Napolis strongest addition this season, despite suffering injury issues across the season. Napoli have considered making a similar move again to Fabrizio Romano via Youtube.

Leon Goretzka was a name that Napoli discussed heavily, as they could have made a free agent move. However, Napoli have decided against it as they believe that his wage demands are too high. However, this isn’t a struggle for other Serie A clubs as they could make a move.

Inter Milan have now opened up contacts with Leon Goretzka and his agents over a potential move, to Italy his summer. This would be a big splash for Inter, and would likely lead to another midfielder leaving, Right now that name could be Hakan Calhanoglu who’s contract expires after next season.

But, Davide Frattesi could also leave the Nerazzurri this summer. He has struggled for gametime so far this season which is now hurting his Italian national team chances (read more here). But it is no guarantee for Inter as Juventus have also made an offer for Goretzka. However, the deal that Juventus offered was low for what Goretzka is asking, as Inter could have the same issue.
