Exclusive: Fresh twist in Milan's Morata saga as Como refuse to pay Galatasaray compensation

Yahooa day ago
As reported in recent days, Como had been confidently awaiting the go-ahead by Wednesday (today) to sign Alvaro Morata.
That confidence remains but Como still have no intention of paying the €3 million fee requested by Galatasaray.
In fact, Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani is still handling the matter, as the Rossoneri work to free up Morata and have reassured Como in the process. There is already an agreement between the two Italian clubs for a transfer fee of around €10 million.

Last week, Como president Mirwan Suwarso confirmed that his club had an agreement with Milan over the player and that they have done all they had to do in the negotiations. Galatasaray, meanwhile, were insistent over compensation to release the player from his loan contract.

Inter Milan & Atalanta Talks For Lookman Still At A Standstill – Player + Cash Offer Could Unlock Deal

Talks between Inter Milan and Atalanta for Ademola Lookman are still at a standstill, but a player-plus-cash offer could unlock the deal. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. The transfer soap opera between Inter, Atalanta, and Ademola Lookman has dominated the headlines over the last week. The Nigerian international very publicly demanded a transfer to Atalanta last weekend. This after Atalanta had rejected a second offer from the Nerazzurri. Then, Lookman took things a step further. The 27-year-old – who had already scrubbed all traces of Atalanta from his social media accounts – began no-showing training. There's no indication that Lookman plans to return to training for Atalanta. The player is determine to force through the move to Inter, as he believes that La Dea had promised as much last summer.

Inter are willing to raise their offer for Lookman. But the question is by how much. Then, Sky suggest, the a key addition to Inter's bid could be a player going the other way as a makeweight. This could allow Atalanta to finally feel that an offer is truly satisfactory for them.

Nottingham Forest enters the race for Yunus Musah

Nottingham Forest enters the race for Yunus Musah According to the Italian press, Nottingham Forest has thrown its hat into the ring to sign Ghanaian-born midfielder Yunus Musah. The English club is reportedly ready to put nearly €30 million on the table, significantly outbidding Napoli's current offer. This bold move could accelerate negotiations and force a swift resolution. Musah himself would prefer to remain in Serie A and is intrigued by Napoli's project. However, he is not ruling out a Premier League switch if Forest's proposal satisfies both him and AC Milan, his current club. Not considered essential by the Rossoneri management, the American midfielder now looks closer than ever to an exit. Signed from Valencia in 2023 for around €20 million, he has made 81 official appearances for Milan without scoring and has only four assists to his name. These numbers have not been enough to secure him an undisputed starting role.

Tottenham turned down in pursuit of Nico Paz

Tottenham turned down in pursuit of Nico Paz According to Sky Sport Italia, Tottenham have been rebuffed in their initial attempt to sign Nico Paz, the 20-year-old attacking midfielder currently shining at Como. With James Maddison sidelined due to a cruciate ligament rupture and set to miss much of the 2025-2026 season, Spurs have launched a search for a replacement. Their hunt has led them to Serie A, where the young Argentine has been making waves with Como. Sky Sport Italia also reports that the London club submitted a €40 million offer (around 445 million Swedish kronor), which was swiftly rejected by the Italian side. Como's management value Nico Paz at nearly €70 million and are demanding at least €60 million before even considering negotiations. After racking up 6 goals and 9 assists in 35 Serie A appearances last season, Nico Paz has naturally caught the attention of several clubs. But Tottenham will have to significantly increase their offer if they hope to persuade Como to part with their prized asset.
