Let's look at the most important transfer news of the day.

Juventus, the names being followed for the attack

Juventus continues to evaluate multiple solutions to strengthen the attack. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, they are interested in Jesper Damsgaard and Kevin Schade from Brentford, as well as Simon Adingra from Sunderland. These profiles are being closely followed, but the most ready option is still considered to be Federico Chiesa, seen as an immediate guarantee for the race for fourth place.

The real issue remains the terms of the deal. According to TuttoJuve.com, Juventus's idea is a six-month dry loan, similar to the Randal Kolo Muani model in 2024. A possible but not simple solution: Liverpool, while waiting to clarify Mohamed Salah's future, currently does not seem inclined to easily open to this possibility.

Milan, Lazio targets Loftus-Cheek

Milan is closely monitoring Lazio's interest in Ruben Loftus-Cheek, but at the moment - according to calciomercato.com - they have no need to part with the English midfielder. Massimiliano Allegri considers him an important asset and has demonstrated this in recent outings, fielding him from the start in a more advanced role.

In Via Aldo Rossi, there are no definitive closures, but the message is clear: discussions can only happen in the face of a significant offer. Loftus-Cheek has a contract until 2027 and was purchased from Chelsea for a total amount close to 18 million, which is why a sale at a reduced price is not considered a viable option.

Inter, Akanji has convinced: redemption is near

Manuel Akanji has immediately made an impact at Inter, and his confirmation now seems just a formality. The Swiss defender, who arrived from Manchester City, has convinced both in the role of a wing-back and at the center of the defense, becoming a key piece in Cristian Chivu's lineup.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the agreement includes a redemption obligation set at 15 million euros in case of a championship win. Even if the condition does not trigger, Inter is still inclined to keep Akanji, born in 1995, considered a technical certainty and a choice shared by the club and coach.

Napoli, Gotze instead of Lang?

According to Il Mattino, Napoli has no intention of easily letting go of Noa Lang: a significant offer will be needed to immediately snatch him from the Azzurri. In case of departure, however, the club should aim for a zero-cost replacement, and among the profiles followed is Maximiliano Araujo from Sporting CP, already faced in the Champions League. Also to be monitored is the situation of Federico Chiesa, with possible developments by the end of the month.

The Neapolitan newspaper also adds the name of Mario Götze, whose contract expires in six months with Eintracht Frankfurt and is currently negotiating for renewal. An early exit is not excluded after the clash with Napoli in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Lang sends signals via social media, sharing his celebration after the goal against Atalanta, almost reaffirming his desire for the Azzurri. Source: TuttoNapoli.net.

Roma, Ghilardi interests Torino! A replacement is needed...

Roma continues to move in the January market with the aim of fixing the offensive department. The tracks leading to Giacomo Raspadori and Joshua Zirkzee remain hot, but to unlock new operations, it will also be necessary to intervene on exits. Among the names in the balance is Daniele Ghilardi, little used in the first part of the season.

According to Tuttosport, Torino is interested in the central defender, ready to ask for him on loan. However, Roma has not yet opened to the sale: Gian Piero Gasperini considers the squad numerically short in defense and before giving the green light to Ghilardi's exit, demands the arrival of a replacement in the defensive department.

Lazio, interested in Fabbian from Bologna

Lazio has returned to the market after last summer's halt. Among the profiles monitored is Giovanni Fabbian from Bologna: according to Gianluca Di Marzio, contacts between the parties are constant, although no official offers have yet been made.

The need for reinforcements is evident, especially after Valentín Castellanos's departure, which further shortened the squad available to Maurizio Sarri. For this reason, president Claudio Lotito is ready to intervene in this session: the negotiation for Fabbian is alive, and Lazio could soon make the first concrete move.

Fiorentina, names on the table for the winter market

Fiorentina's winter campaign has just begun, and the Viola management is evaluating multiple interventions to expand the solutions available to Paolo Vanoli. In midfield, the temptation of Lazar Samardzic remains, a profile always appreciated and which Atalanta might let go for a suitable offer. After an initial inquiry, the Viola club is reflecting on what to do, without losing sight of Marco Brescianini, a name already followed in the past.

In defense, a possible renewal is expected, with the option of Rodrigo Becao from Fenerbahçe remaining on the table, although there is doubt related to his physical condition after the recent cruciate injury. Also to be monitored is Diego Coppola, born in 2003 from Brighton, already requested a month ago. Finally, for the flanks, the name of Jérémie Boga, a possible exit from Nice, is gaining traction.
