The Italian football transfer market is heating up, and in a recent video on Fabrizio Romano’s Italian channel, Matteo Moretto shared the latest behind-the-scenes details involving Juventus and Napoli. Here’s a comprehensive summary of the key topics discussed, including quotes and insights on some of the most talked-about players.
Juventus: Making Moves for Osimhen
The big headline surrounds Victor Osimhen and Juventus. According to Moretto, negotiations between Juventus and Osimhen are progressing, but the deal is far from complete. “There have been steps forward between Juventus and Victor Osimhen regarding an agreement with the player. The parties are already starting to discuss numbers and contract terms, but there’s no total agreement yet,” he explained.
However, the real challenge lies in reaching an agreement with Napoli. “Juventus knows that the main issue, the hardest knot to untie, will be the agreement with Napoli. Napoli will do everything they can to prevent Osimhen from wearing the Juventus shirt,” Moretto added. The path to Osimhen joining Juventus is “a long and steep road,” but there is progress on the player’s side.
Tonali: A Dream Fading for Juventus
Sandro Tonali has long been a dream signing for Juventus, but the situation is not looking promising. “The latest updates are that the situation is absolutely on standby. In fact, Tonali’s chances of joining Juventus are slightly decreasing,” Moretto revealed. Newcastle considers Tonali “almost untouchable,” and their stance is extremely firm. “They don’t even want to discuss a possible departure of Tonali, so for them, he’s practically immovable,” he said.
Additionally, Moretto noted that other top European clubs could enter the race, potentially outbidding Juventus. For now, “Tonali is moving slightly further away from Juventus.”
Midfield Options: Cardoso and Yasari
Juventus are also monitoring other midfielders. Johnny Cardoso is on their radar, but “there are no ongoing negotiations, and the competition is very high.” Another name is Ardon Yasari, a young Swiss midfielder from Brugge. “Yasari has been watched several times by Juventus this year. He’s a profile they follow closely and like a lot,” Moretto said. Milan is also interested, but Juventus is paying particular attention.
McKennie: Verbal Agreement, But Not Done Yet
Weston McKennie’s future at Juventus is another hot topic. Moretto confirmed, “It’s true that McKennie has reached a verbal agreement with Juventus. The parties have resolved the last details regarding commissions and salary, but this agreement still needs to be signed and formalized.” The Juventus ownership is still evaluating the financial details of the renewal, and the final green light is pending.
