Reports: USMNT midfielder Musah to join Napoli in €25m transfer
Reports: USMNT midfielder Musah to join Napoli in €25m transfer Show Caption Hide Caption Weston McKennie: Landon Donovan's dig at Christian Pulisic was sad U.S. Men's National Team standout Weston McKennie reacts to Landon Donovan's comments regarding Christian Pulisic. Sports Seriously Yunus Musah looks to be on the move, though the AC Milan midfielder won't be leaving Serie A. According to multiple reports, Musah is on the brink of joining Italian champion Napoli in a move worth around €25 million. Napoli coach Antonio Conte is said to be an admirer of the 22-year-old, who looks to be part of a revamped midfield that is also set to include former Man City star Kevin De Bruyne. Musah will help replace Philip Billing, who was on loan from Bournemouth this past season and will not be retained. Musah has spent two seasons with Milan after joining from Valencia in 2023. The midfielder earned plenty of minutes with the Rossoneri, but never completely found his footing during his time at the club. The U.S. international managed 40 appearances in all competitions last season, playing a variety of positions including right back, right winger and central midfield. Though he was at times a lock starter, Musah's minutes declined over the final weeks of the 2024-25 campaign. He was removed twice as a tactical sub in a four-game span in March and April. Musah is set to trade Serie A's eighth-place finisher for its champion, swapping a season with no European competition for Champions League play. It will be a welcome boost for his USMNT chances. Musah was set to be on the Gold Cup roster this summer, but requested to be removed due to a personal issue. Musah has 46 caps with the USMNT, including starts in all four of the team's games at the 2022 World Cup.

Liverpool in talks with SENSATIONAL striker who wants Premier League move
Liverpool in talks with SENSATIONAL striker who wants Premier League move Victor Osimhen available this summer The 26-year-old scored 37 goals in 41 games overall - sparking an almighty transfer clamour for his signature this summer. Napoli still own Osimhen's rights but there is no way back for him at the Diego Maradona Stadium. Therefore, the Italian champions are seeking to cash in this summer. Advertisement Osimhen is said to have rejected a move to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career - and has his eyes firmly trained on the Premier League. And now, according to a report in TBR Football, the hitman has held talks with Liverpool over a move to Anfield. © IMAGO Liverpool hold Osimhen talks 'After recently holding discussions with Liverpool, Victor Osimhen is still determined to move to the Premier League this summer,' a report reads. 'Liverpool are interested in Osimhen, a striker who is also on Manchester United's radar.' The report also adds that Osimhen doesn't view his wage demands as excessive, despite previous speculation that his expected pay packet was pricing clubs out of the equation. With Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike's prices spiralling out of control, moreover, the report states that Osimhen is available for a very reasonable-looking £50m.

Juve eye Osimhen, Milan linked to Zinchenko, Paredes-🇦🇷: transfer news 🤑
The last day of the first transfer window is full of movements (here are all the live negotiations) and the Italian teams are no exception. Let's take a look at the most important transfer news regarding the top Serie A clubs. Juve, Osimhen glimmer Osimhen's 'No' to Al-Hilal puts his future back in question and leaves a small opening for Juventus, as reported by Alfredo Pedullà. Advertisement The main difficulty, according to the Corriere dello Sport, lies in the price: the €75 million clause applies only abroad, and Napoli would ask for €100 million from Italian clubs. Juve – according to Tuttosport – would have liked to offer around €85 million before Giuntoli's dismissal. Milan, Zinchenko as post-Theo As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Milan have shown interest in Zinchenko as a replacement for Theo Hernandez. According to Tuttosport, the player was offered to Milan given his limited playing time with Arsenal last season. Should negotiations continue, his salary will need to be adjusted: currently €5 million net. Inter, interest in Gudmundsson According to Tuttosport, Inter have made an informal – but yet to be officially confirmed – €20 million offer to Genoa for Gudmundsson, who is returning from Fiorentina. Advertisement Fiorentina, in fact, did not exercise the €17 million buyout clause and would like to lower the amount with two counterparts: Tommaso Amatucci (midfielder, born 2004) and Tommaso Martinelli, goalkeeper, born 2006. Napoli, speeding up for Musah As Fabrizio Romano reports, Napoli are speeding up for Musah, the Milan midfielder who is highly appreciated by Antonio Conte. The player has already given his approval for the transfer and talks between the clubs are proceeding well. According to Daniele Longo, the price should be €20 million plus bonuses. Roma, Boca pressing for Paredes As written by the Corriere dello Sport, Boca Juniors are pressing for Leandro Paredes: according to Argentine media, there has even been contact between the midfielder and Riquelme, the club's president. Advertisement Boca can exercise a special clause in Paredes' contract: €3.5 million paid to Roma would be enough to buy him. Lazio, another Sarri-Fabiani meeting There has been a new online transfer meeting between Sarri, Fabiani, and Lotito. According to the Corriere dello Sport, the coach reiterated his desire for a quality midfielder. On Wednesday, June 11, there should be another meeting – this time in person – between Sarri and Fabiani. The positions of Dele-Bashiru, Vecino, and Castellanos will be evaluated; the latter is appreciated by the coach but could be sold for €30/35 million. Fiorentina, Bennacer suggestion According to FirenzeViola, if Pioli were to arrive on the Fiorentina bench, one intriguing possibility could be Bennacer: set to leave Milan after Marseille failed to buy him. Advertisement Such a scenario could only materialize if Cataldi returns to Lazio, where Sarri could make the most of him. All decisions will take shape only after the appointment of Fiorentina's new coach. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
