💣 Juve target Senesi on a free, Lucca to Benfica, Nkunku says no🤑

In addition to the official announcement about the new Chelsea coach (with a mega contract) and Solskjaer's desire to return to the Man United bench, Italian teams are moving decisively in this winter transfer market.

Let's take a look at today's most important transfer news.

Juventus, acceleration for Senesi on a free

As Tuttosport writes, Juventus are accelerating to sign Marcos Senesi in the summer: the central defender's contract with Bournemouth expires in 2026.

Barcelona is also interested in the player, which is why the Bianconeri club will try to get ahead of the competition and secure him early.

Milan, Nkunku says "No"

After Milan opened up to a possible sale of Nkunku to Fenerbahce, the Frenchman's intentions are becoming increasingly clear: for now, he wants to stay with the Rossoneri.

As reported by Daniele Longo of calciomercato.com, Nkunku has, for now, rejected a move to Turkey in order to try his luck at Milan.

Inter, swap deal for Frattesi rejected

According to Tuttosport, Galatasaray tried to include a swap deal in the now-stalled negotiations for Frattesi: Gabriel Sara, a midfielder born in '99.

However, Inter will only accept cash and does not want to sign a replacement for Frattesi in this transfer window. The player has opened up to Fenerbahce, but they are not moving from their offer of a paid loan (5 million) with an option to buy at 30 million. 

A contract worth 5 million per year is ready for Frattesi, a full 2 million more than his current salary.

Napoli, Lucca-Benfica deal getting closer

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, the negotiations for Lorenzo Lucca to Benfica are entering an important phase: the Portuguese club wants to satisfy Mourinho while Napoli does not want to make a capital loss compared to the 30/35 million invested.

The deal could be closed with a loan plus obligation to buy, or with other guarantees, such as a loan with a very easy option to buy. Benfica is considering the amount for this potential buyout.

Roma, the date for Raspadori + Pisilli on his way out

After talks with Raspadori, according to Gianluca Di Marzio Roma will have to wait until the end of the Spanish Super Cup for a response: if Atletico is eliminated, Friday could be the right day. Otherwise, they will have to wait until after the final, scheduled for Monday, January 12.

On the outgoing front, Pisilli remains on the list of departures: Genoa, Cagliari, Parma, and Sassuolo are all interested. As TMW writes, the Ligurian club is ahead of the others, also because Roma and Genoa have also discussed Frendrup: a player appreciated by Gasperini. 

Lazio, another departure and 3/4 arrivals

Lazio seems unwilling to stop its sales: according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Sassuolo is very interested in Lazzari. In addition to him, Mazzocchi from Napoli is also a target.

For incoming transfers, however, there won't be much of a wait: according to Tuttosport, Lotito has returned from Cortina and is ready to make investments to give Maurizio Sarri 3 or 4 new signings.

Fiorentina, 2 difficult targets

Fiorentina really likes the profile of Samardzic and, according to TMW, Atalanta does not want to sell him but there is a figure that could make the club waver: 20 million euros.

In defense, however, according to Corriere dello Sport, Dragusin is a very interesting profile: a difficult target due to costs and status. The defender earns 3 million at Tottenham and there would be strong competition offering a more certain future than Fiorentina can.
