Serie A news

Another summer, another Chelsea move for a high-potential, young star. This one, though, might just be different. The Blues sprung into life to hijack Inter's move for Atalanta prospect Marco Palestra, who has become the first signing of the Xabi Alonso era in a deal worth a cool €55 million (£47m/$62m).

Chelsea have officially confirmed the signing of Italian international Marco Palestra from Atalanta in a deal worth a reported £47 million. The 21-year-old defender becomes the first major acquisition of the Xabi Alonso era at Stamford Bridge as the Blues look to overhaul their squad following a difficult season.

Ruben Amorim has wasted no time in making his mark at the San Siro, sanctioning a club-record move to secure his first signing as AC Milan manager. The Rossoneri have completed the high-profile acquisition of Portuguese international Goncalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain.

Como have secured the services of Nico Paz for another season following a formal agreement with Real Madrid. The Argentine creative spark has blossomed into one of Serie A's most exciting talents since moving to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, and his development will continue under the watchful eye of Cesc Fabregas.

Mason Greenwood has reportedly issued a blunt "let me go" plea to Marseille as the race for his signature intensifies between European heavyweights. While the forward has long been linked with a move to Serie A's Roma, a lucrative alternative from Fenerbahçe has emerged that could completely derail the plans of his primary suitors in Italy.

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has openly fuelled intense speculation linking him with a summer move to Juventus and AC Milan, confessing to a childhood dream of playing in Italy. Breaking his silence after being dropped by Brazil for the World Cup, the 29-year-old delivered a remarkably honest assessment of his campaign, admitting he fully agreed with Carlo Ancelotti's decision.

An exciting transfer window

Arsenal icon Cesc Fabregas is set for an emotional homecoming this summer after it was confirmed his Como side will travel to north London for a pre-season friendly. The former Gunners captain will lead the Italian outfit out at the Emirates Stadium on August 12 as both sides ramp up their preparations for the 2026-27 campaign.

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has urged the Reds to consider a sensational move for AC Milan forward Christian Pulisic. As the club searches for a successor to Mohamed Salah, the former Anfield striker believes the USMNT captain possesses the perfect profile for a return to English football.

Italian outfit Como have pulled off a stunning transfer coup by agreeing to a €60 million proposal from Real Madrid to retain the services of Argentine playmaker Nico Paz. The ambitious Serie A club successfully fought off rival interest to keep their talismanic midfielder by the lake, though the Spanish giants have secured a significantly higher buy-back clause in the process.

Christian Pulisic is considered to have “bailed out” AC Milan at times, but Ruud Gullit has told GOAL why the Rossoneri’s appointment of Ruben Amorim could be “very dangerous” for the USMNT star and other proven performers. A Portuguese coach that was sacked by Manchester United in January has returned to management in Italy, but will he repeat the mistakes that were made at Old Trafford?

Real Madrid are weighing up an audacious transfer strategy that could see former academy star Nico Paz act as the key to unlocking a deal for Inter's Alessandro Bastoni. Jose Mourinho is desperate to bolster his defensive line at the Bernabeu, and a complex series of negotiations involving the Argentine midfielder may provide the perfect solution.

Mason Greenwood's future has become the latest flashpoint in the Serie A transfer market as Juventus have reportedly entered the race to sign the Marseille forward. The Bianconeri are ready to challenge rivals Roma for the 24-year-old following his latest prolific campaign in Ligue 1.

New Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho joins Adebayo Akinfenwa on the Beast Mode On Podcast as he exclusively discusses his sensational return to the Liga giants, the World Cup and whether England can finally end 60 years of hurt, and some of the joyous, and panful, experiences he's had in management to date. Mourinho also chats openly about his time at Tottenham, and the controversial nature of his sacking just days before the League Cup final, among many other intriguing topics in a must-see episode of the award-winning podcast.

Real Madrid are prepared to officially inform Como of their firm intention to activate the bargain €9m buy-back clause for midfield sensation Nico Paz. The Spanish titans then plan to immediately offer the highly rated playmaker back to the Italian outfit for a staggering premium, exploiting his skyrocketing value after a stunning season.

Experienced Netherlands central defender Stefan de Vrij is on the verge of completing an unexpected move to Panathinaikos. The 34-year-old is departing Inter on a free transfer following a successful eight-year spell with the club, with advanced negotiations currently taking place to finalise the remaining details of his switch to Athens.

Trevoh Chalobah looks increasingly likely to swap Stamford Bridge for Serie A this summer as the race for his signature intensifies in Italy. The defender, currently away with the England squad at the World Cup, has become a primary target for Italian giants Inter and ambitious newcomers Como, who have already submitted an initial bid for his services.
