Kevin De Bruyne will wear the number 11 jersey at Napoli, despite the initial buzz about the number 10 appearing on training kits.

Meanwhile, Vitik, replacing Beukema, takes the 41. 🔎 The new arrivals at Como? Rodriguez, Baturina...

Among the numbers yet to be made official, Edin Dzeko might choose the 9 at Fiorentina if Beltran leaves, but the 11 is also available. The 10 is impossible, now on Gudmundsson's shoulders. Camarda, associated with the 73, might continue with that number at Lecce, where it is available; the 9 of Krstovic, a possible departure, might also become available, while in friendlies he wore the 22. As for Folorunsho, following a decent end of the season at Fiorentina, he might aim for the usual #90, already worn in the past. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Report: Man Utd eye forward additions while managing squad sales
Man Utd's Striker Search: Watkins and Sesko on the Radar Man Utd Continue Striker Hunt Amid Hojlund Uncertainty According to a new Sky Sports News update by Dharmesh Sheth, Manchester United are actively exploring options to bolster their attack, despite being primarily focused on player sales this summer. United's recruitment team is said to be monitoring striker targets even with Rasmus Højlund already on the books — and despite rumoured interest in the Dane from Serie A clubs. The club is reportedly assessing potential deals for Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. These names underline the club's long-standing plan to reinforce the forward line – a problem area for a long time now. Photo: IMAGO Watkins Interest Complicated by Villa's Reluctance Ollie Watkins has long been admired by United, with an approach made to Villa, per Sky Sports. However, the Midlands side 'do not want to sell and he is thought to carry a value of around £60m'. Given Watkins' consistent Premier League form and England credentials, the price tag is understandable — yet still problematic for a club managing financial fair play pressures. Watkins, 29, scored 16 Premier League goals last season and registered 8 assists, an output that would undoubtedly elevate United's attack. But with Villa set for Europa League football and Watkins integral to Unai Emery's system, any transfer feels unlikely unless United table a substantial bid. Sesko Move Tied to Familiar Face in Recruitment While Watkins' move appears complicated, Benjamin Sesko could be a more accessible solution. 'The interest in Sesko is understood to be driven by recruitment director Christopher Vivell, who signed the striker as a 16-year-old for Red Bull Salzburg.' Vivell's past relationship with the Slovenian international might play a crucial role in any negotiations. Sesko, 21, is viewed as a rising star in European football. With raw pace, strength, and a clinical eye in front of goal, he aligns well with United's long-term vision and Ruben Amorim's preference for physically dominant, mobile forwards. Nicolas Jackson Considered but Overpriced Sky Sports also revealed that Nicolas Jackson had been evaluated, but 'Chelsea's valuation of the striker is understood to be considered far too high'. With Chelsea unlikely to sell to a rival cheaply, that particular avenue appears closed for now. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Manchester United fan's perspective, this report prompts mixed emotions. On one hand, it's encouraging to see the club taking forward planning seriously — exploring targets early and leaning on the expertise of figures like Christopher Vivell. Benjamin Sesko feels like a smart, forward-thinking option, especially if United aim to build an athletic, youthful squad capable of playing high-press, transitional football under Amorim. However, the Watkins pursuit is puzzling. While his Premier League output is elite, spending upwards of £60m on a 29-year-old when funds are tight seems misaligned with the squad's rebuild trajectory. Many United fans will argue that such funds would be better directed toward younger players or midfield reinforcements. There's also a sense of frustration at the club's continued struggle with selling players efficiently — a theme that restricts United every window. While clubs like City and Chelsea seem to manage exits with ruthless efficiency, United's drawn-out dealings could once again hinder their incoming business. In short, Sesko feels like the right target at the right time. Watkins? Maybe not. But what fans most want now is action — decisive, strategic and timely. The club can't afford another late scramble in the market.

Who could Milan sell to fund swoop for Liverpool's Chiesa
Last week, Milan sporting director Igli Tare said that the club will only pursue a new winger if they manage to offload one of their existing players, as speculation begins to grow that the club will move for Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa. Speaking to the press, Tare said 'We plan to intervene on the wings in the event of any exits.' Reports earlier today suggested that the Rossoneri are set to meet with Chiesa's representatives this week, so who could be leaving the club? Milan's Chukwueze wanted by Fulham? Samuel Chukwueze takes a penalty during the shoot-out after the pre-season friendly between Milan and Arsenal in Singapore in July, 2025 (picture via According to reports from the Gazzetta dello Sport, via MilanNews24, Premier League club Fulham are interested in signing Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze. La Liga club Real Betis have also been linked to the Nigerian but Fulham's interest appears more concrete. Aside from Chukwueze, Swiss forward Noah Okafor is also being linked away from the Rossoneri, despite performing well in pre-season. The 25-year-old scored twice in Milan's 4-2 victory over Liverpool but the Serie A side still consider the player to be up for sale. Is Chiesa worth it for Milan? Chiesa will not be a cheap purchase, even if the club manage to offload players to help finance the move. The 27-year-old signed for Premier League champions Liverpool last summer for €12 million, just two years after his €45 million move to Juventus from Fiorentina. Liverpool's Federico Chiesa reacts during the UEFA Champions League soccer match between AC Milan and Liverpool FC at Giuseppe Meazza stadium, 17 September 2024. EPA-EFE/MATTEO BAZZI Chiesa's contract with Liverpool does not expire until 2028 and therefore the Reds hold all the cards in any potential negotiation with Milan. The player's wage demands may be higher than the Rossoneri would like to pay, considering a shift in attitude off-the-pitch has led the club to attempt more sensible financial decisions. However, price aside, Chiesa could be a valuable addition. Massimiliano Allegri has re-joined the Rossoneri this summer as head coach and his time working with Chiesa at Juventus could be decisive in convincing the player to join and allowing him to flourish if he does. Chiesa played just 104 minutes in the 2024-25 Premier League campaign for Liverpool, making most of his appearances in cup competitions.
