Anan Khalaili won't be suiting up for Inter after all. The club's President Beppe Marotta announced that Khalaili failed his medical tests on the first day of pre-season, meaning the deal is officially off the table. Talk about a curveball right out of the gate for the Nerazzurri faithful.
Big Moves and Missed Opportunities Across Italy
With Khalaili out, Inter is already shifting focus, reportedly targeting Guela Doué, a 23-year-old currently under contract with Strasbourg, according to Gazzetta. Meanwhile, down the road at Milan, they are playing the waiting game for offers on Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez, though formal proposals haven't hit the table yet. Interestingly, Aston Villa has already inquired about another Milan player, Pervis Estupinan, who only joined the Rossoneri a year ago from Brighton. On a brighter note for Milan, new signing Gonçalo Ramos made a surprise visit to his new teammates at Milanello today, getting a jump on pre-season vibes. Over at Juventus, General Manager Giovanni Carnevali isn't messing around when it comes to Randal Kolo Muani from PSG. He's laying it out: "The demands are too high, so either we reach an agreement, or we will turn to a different player." You gotta respect that directness! Carnevali also gave a shout-out to Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi, calling him "an extraordinary lad who would do well at all big clubs," but made it clear Juventus doesn't need a player with his characteristics. And get this: Juventus has reportedly dropped out of the race for Tarik Muharemovic from Sassuolo. Despite holding a 50% sell-on clause, which would guarantee them €20m from Sassuolo's €40m asking price, both the player and Sassuolo upped their financial demands, pushing the Bianconeri out. Leeds is now the favorite to land Muharemovic, with Newcastle, Sunderland, and Bournemouth also in the mix.Roma Locks Down Dybala, Lazio Makes Moves
Over in the capital, Roma just locked in a massive piece of their future, confirming Paulo Dybala signed a contract extension until June 2027. That's huge for the Giallorossi and their fans, keeping one of their top talents around for the long haul. But coach Gian Piero Gasperini also hinted to Radio Anch'io lo Sport that the club might be forced to listen to offers for some of their other top players, including Manu Koné. Napoli is also making some interesting moves, reportedly looking to sell either Noa Lang or David Neres if they can secure Ezequiel Zeballos's signature this summer. It's all about balancing the books and upgrading the squad. Lazio is staying busy too, with Danilho Doekhi already in Rome for medical tests before finalizing a free transfer after his Union Berlin contract expired. Sky is also reporting that Lazio is close to signing Dinamo Zagreb defender Sergi Dominguez. This transfer window is just getting started, and teams are making moves that could define their entire season. It's going to be wild to see how these pieces fall into place before the season truly kicks off!This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
