The Italian market continues to be booming with movements on several fronts. At Bologna, the priority is to find immediate solutions for the right wing after Emil Holm's injury. The Rossoblù club turned to the free player market and called Matteo Darmian for a training period at Casteldebole. The former Inter man will work with the team for two to three days, while Raffaele Palladino's technical team assesses his physical and competitive condition before deciding on a possible contract. Among the alternatives also appears Mitchel Bakker, a Dutch left-back without a club after a spell at Atalanta and a long layoff due to a torn cruciate. However, Bakker is currently on trial at NEC Nijmegen, where he will have a week to convince the Dutch team's structure.
In Turin, Juventus is already looking at the next windows and considering both exits and entries. Teun Koopmeiners, who has six official games, one goal and one assist in this start, is highlighted as one of the possible names to leave the club, despite the strong investment made in 2024, in the order of 51.3 million euros plus bonuses. Conversely, Pierre Kalulu is seen as an essential piece by Luciano Spalletti and the structure, with the theme of renovation remaining on the table — although more concrete conversations will be left for later. For January, the idea of reinforcing the wings remains active, with Emerson Palmieri remaining among the hypotheses being pursued. From Germany come confirmations of Bayern Munich's interest in Nick Woltemade, a striker on loan from Newcastle. To retain him, Juventus would have to face a threshold of around 60 million euros and the Bavarian competition, and any decision will depend on the player's performance until the end of the season.
In Milan, Milan's focus is on a surgical signing to satisfy Rúben Amorim's demands in the back three. One of the names being evaluated is Kim Min-Jae, Bayern's South Korean center back, with a contract until 2028. Formerly from Naples, he is not an undisputed starter in Bavaria and could consider a new challenge after three seasons in Germany. His pass is valued at around 25 million euros, although the salary burden — close to 7 million euros net per season — must be carefully considered. Aston Villa and Tottenham also follow the player.
On the bench, there is news in Parma: Alberto Gilardino is the new coach of the first team. The club made the appointment of Cuesta's successor official and informed that the coach has signed until the end of the 2026/27 season, with an option in favor of Parma for two more seasons. The staff accompanying Gilardino includes Gaetano Caridi (assistant), Francesco Valiani (technical collaborator), Antonio Bovenzi (physical trainer) and Mirco Vecchi (analyst).
Torino, on the other hand, decided to exercise the unilateral option present in Nikola Vlasic's contract, extending the Croatian international's contract until 2028. An element considered fundamental and decisive in the project, Vlasic would still see his future dependent on several factors: the club's ambition, collective performance and the relationship with Ignazio Abate — or with a possible successor in technical command. In any scenario, the Granata management wanted to take precautions so as not to lose the player on a free transfer next summer.
In short, an intense day of advancing dossiers and strategic decisions in Serie A: Bologna measures forces in the free-kick market, Juventus refines its planning, Milan studies a target for the defense, Parma changes the helmsman and Torino signs a key player in the squad.
What happens next
Bologna will assess Matteo Darmian's physical condition during training before deciding on a possible contract. Furthermore, Emil Holm's situation will be closely monitored, as his recovery could influence the club's future decisions in the transfer market. The technical team is also considering other options, such as Mitchel Bakker, as they prepare for the challenges ahead in Serie A.
