Juventus started off their transfer window by making a swap move with FC Porto. This was a deal which saw Alberto Costa move to Porto. Costa was wanted by multipule clubs after some excellent performances at the Club World Cup with Juventus. Porto where one of the teams interested and got the deal done.

However, Porto could only complete the deal if it was a swap, so Juventus and Porto opened negotiations. The two clubs did manage to come to an agreement with Juventus over a swap deal. The two teams managed to come to a deal that would see Juventus receive full-back Joao Mario.

Mario came to Turin, full of hope to be a key player for Tudor in his squad instead that didn’t happen. He struggled to get regular minutes for Juventus, and couldn’t find a place in Tudors squad. Especially with the poor form Juventus where in Joao Mario had plenty of opportunities to make way into the squad.

Then Juventus decided to change coaches firing Tudor and replacing him with Luciano Spalletti, formerly of Napoli. Spalletti has turned Juventus around and improving their form. However, Joao hasn’t been apart of that playing only 33 minutes since Spalletti joined Juventus at the start of November.

This has lead to rumours of Joao leaving Juventus in January at the end of this season, or in January. This will mean Juventus will need to sign a right back to replace him, and they already have their eye on someone according to Nico Schira.

Oscar Mingueza is the lead target from Celta Vigo, as he is looking to leave the club. His contract expires at the end of this season and he likely won’t extend with Celta Vigo, this has lead to the rumours of him leaving in January. Juventus are one of the several teams interested in him.

However, so far Juventus have the edge on the competition as they have agreed terms with Mingueza already. This has lead to Juventus looking to complete the deal in January. Now they just need to agree a fee with Celta Vigo to complete the deal which will be around 3-4 million euros.

Serie A simply can’t keep up with the increasing transfer fees in world football in recent history. The Premier League and La Liga both beat the league in TV revenue despite having leagues that are less competition between the teams. If Serie A teams want to compete with the sides from these leagues there gonna have to spend their money wisely.

This is why most Serie A teams that are looking into any free agent signing they can get their hands on, even if it is a risk for the team. AC Milan managed to sign Luka Modric in the summer, while Napoli completed a deal for Kevin De Bryune. Both of these players have been absolutely pivotal for their teams succsess.

AC Milan and Napoli could be the next teams to try and make a free agent signing as they look into signing Leon Goretzka. He will leave Bayern on a free transfer at the end of this season. Fabrizio Romano has given an update on both clubs chances to sign him in the summer.

Napoli could see Goretzka is an alternative to Kobbie Mainoo in the summer. Mainoo like Joshua Zirkzee is now not available to sign due to the coaching change at Manchester United. This has led to Napoli looking at other names as they looked to add midfield depth to their squad for next season. Their other main target so far is also from the Premier League being Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes. (read more here)

This season has shown Napoli are in need for midfield depth as a couple of injuries has left them with limited options which is why they are considering Goretzka. However, this isn’t a problem that AC Milan have been suffering from this season but they are still interested in Goretzka. An opening could be made for the German midfielder if somebody else where to leave.

Meanwhile rumours have begin to circulate over the possible departure of Youssouf Fofana. He is currently wanted by Turkish side Galatasaray, who have inquired about him multiple times in recent months. However, according to Luca Bianchin, Fofana is currently not interested in a move to Galatasaray.

Giacomo Raspadori has been one of the most discussed names for Serie A transfers since before the start of the January transfer window. All the talks was him to return to Serie A as he didn’t like life in Spain. There was only one team who had reported interest in Giacomo before the start of the window Roma.

Everyone thought that it would be Roma which would sign Raspadori, but as January drew deeper Roma still couldn’t complete the deal. The main rumours where that Raspadori was holding off on the deal as he wanted to return to Roma. However, none of that was true instead he decided to go elsewhere entirely.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Raspadori will instead be making the move to Bergamo to join up with Raffaele Palladino and his squad in Bergamo. The move was one that surprised everyone as no sources had him linked to Atalanta at all. However, Raspadori is set to join them on a deal that will cost Atalanta a total of 20 million euros to Atletico Madrid.

This has now lead to Roma looking for replacement options, especially with them also missing out Joshua Zirkzee. Zirkzee will now stay at Manchester United due to a coaching game seeing Ruben Amorim fired. This has lead to Roma looking for new targets and according to Fabrizio Romano (Same source as previous) they have found one.

They are looking to sign Donyell Malen from Aston Villa and are getting extremely close to doing so. Roma have been able to agree personal terms with Malen already which will help the deal get complete. Now Roma just need to agree a formula to the deal and how much it will cost them.
