The World Cup continues to offer spectacle and, when it comes to Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo has already left his mark with a brace towards the Portuguese triumph. Meanwhile, the transfer market heats up — especially in Italy — with several dossiers moving in the last few hours.
Jonathan David closes the door to immediate exit Since Canada's internship at the World Cup, Jonathan David was quoted by RSI Sport clarifying his future. The striker reportedly ruled out a move this summer, stressing that he has five years left on his contract, looking to relaunch his career after a less successful season in terms of goals.
Milan targets Evertton Araujo (Flamengo) According to the Brazilian portal Coluna do Fla, echoed by journalist Leo José, Milan has Evertton Araujo (midfielder, 2003) well referenced. The Rossoneri would have presented a proposal of around 15 million euros and a five-year contract. Flamengo, owner of 70% of the economic rights (the remaining 30% belongs to Volta Redonda), would be evaluating the offer. For now, this is an open scenario, with no official confirmation.
Inter-Solet… and Atlético enters the race After a convincing season at Udinese, Oumar Solet continues to add suitors. The central defender, who has long been on Inter's list to reinforce the defense, is now also referenced by Atlético de Madrid, according to FootMercato. Udinese values the player at at least 25 million euros.
Napoli–Fiorentina axis: Dodô and Noa Lang on radars According to TMW, Napoli is closely watching Dodô to reinforce the right flank. Fiorentina already has Noa Lang under its eye, in a move that could generate chain effects during the window. There is, for now, no joint negotiation between the two clubs — they are separate dossiers, but potentially interconnected.
Roma look at midfield: Bergvall and Matt O’Riley on the agenda With the planning of the intermediate sector on the table, Roma are following Lucas Bergvall (2006), a highly rated Tottenham midfielder valued at around 35 million euros, according to Leggo. Another hypothesis is Matt O’Riley, a Danish international already associated with the Giallorossi in the past.
Napoli insists on Mario Gila; Lazio wants R$25–30 million Mario Gila (Lazio) is Napoli's priority target for defense. Il Messaggero reports a 20 million euro proposal already presented by the Partenopei. Lazio, however, aims for 25–30 million and rejects alternative formulas with loans — cases of proposals involving players like Rafa Marín or Lorenzo Lucca — favoring only a cash sale.
Fiorentina accelerates for Thorstvedt and maintains alternatives Fiorentina works to reinforce the midfield and has Kristian Thorstvedt (Sassuolo) at the top of the list. According to La Nazione, the Norwegian has already given the green light for the move to Florence, with the Tuscan club ready to enter the decisive phase of talks. In parallel, the players maintain open dossiers for Jürgen Ekkelenkamp (Udinese) and Adrián Bernabé (Parma), the latter once again receptive to leaving Emília.
