Reports earlier in the week had suggested that the Manchester United forward had no desire to join the Rossoneri but things appear to have changed. Milan would prefer to work on a deal consisting of an initial loan with an option-to-buy whilst the reports indicate that Hojlund himself would rather leave the club permanently if he is to depart England.

Report – Parma Open To Discuss Transfer Of Inter Milan & Liverpool Target – €30M Starting Price
Parma are reportedly open to selling Giovanni Leoni amid growing interest from Liverpool and Inter Milan. According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Crusaders have set the starting price at €30 million. Despite recent reports suggesting otherwise, Parma will negotiate the sale of the 18-year-old. Indeed, Giovanni Leoni is the club's most prized asset, meaning his exit will significantly bolster their coffers. Therefore, the race for his signature is officially underway. Parma Open to Selling Liverpool & Inter Milan Target Giovanni Leoni BOLOGNA, ITALY – OCTOBER 06: Giovanni Leoni of Parma calcio looks on during the Serie A match between Bologna and Parma at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on October 06, 2024 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) Liverpool's interest has gained momentum in recent days. Indeed, after their pursuit of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi suffered a blow, they've turned to Leoni. Meanwhile, Inter have been hot on the youngster's trail since the start of the summer. However, a lack of finances has thrown a spanner in the works, forcing the San Siro club to sit and wait. Despite Parma's initial €40 million valuation, they've shown readiness to lower their demands. That must be music to Liverpool's ears, considering they boast the economic prowess to pull off a deal of this magnitude.

Lorenzo Pellegrini not keen on West Ham option
Lorenzo Pellegrini's future remains a mystery. Coming off two injuries, the Giallorossi number 7 has yet to train with Gian Piero Gasperini and has lost the captain's armband. The Premier League has expressed interest in him in recent hours, particularly West Ham, but according to Sky Sport, the English option is to be ruled out, at least for now. Pellegrini refuses to listen to offers and wants to stay in Rome. He's currently working on his full recovery and playing his cards right under his new manager. His goal is to secure a call-up before the international break, but regarding his contract, which expires on June 30, 2026, there have been no contacts between the parties.

Udinese await Witsel decision
Udinese are waiting patiently as reports from Italy claim that the Friulian side are anticipating a decision on their attempt to sign free agent Axel Witsel later this evening.

Experienced Witsel still has a lot to offer Udinese Witsel, 36, spent the last three years at Atletico, where head coach Diego Simeone converted the former Zenit man from a midfielder into a more defensive role. Since joining Los Colchoneros from Dortmund in 2022, the Belgian played 116 times for Simeone's side in all competitions. With 132 appearances for the Belgium National Team, Witsel offers a range of skill and experience that could prove vital to reinforcing Udinese's squad.
