After all, the activity always ramps up in the final weeks thanks to the heightened urgency, sagas get resolved, and surprises and flash deals are always just around the corner. Here are some of the biggest things we can reasonably expect to occur, although they don\u2019t seem close at the moment.<\/p>\n<h3>Inter Will Sign Ademola Lookman<\/h3>\n<p>Things have come to an apparent standstill since Atalanta formally rejected a bumper offer. The player has reportedly left Italy altogether. The prospective buyers are waiting for a signal from the counterparty. It\u2019s part of a familiar strategy for <em>La Dea<\/em>, which doesn\u2019t want to look like a feeder\u2019s team, and for good reasons. It also sends a message to their other players, which is that leaving isn\u2019t that easy and that the team is in charge of the negotiation. Mateo Retegui\u2019s departure was unusually swift only because Al-Qadsiah met the request promptly. It\u2019s easy to argue that, while he\u2019s 27, the rumored figures are below market value for an attacker of his caliber. The <em>Orobici<\/em> can wait for the entire month, but they aren\u2019t going to reel him in. The only way the transfer to San Siro collapses is if a super-duper foreign club barges into the talks. It is probably what the <em>Bergamaschi<\/em> officials are hoping for. There are only small traces of that for now, and the star has dug his heels in about the destination.<\/p>\n<h3>Milan Will Acquire Dusan Vlahovic<\/h3>\n<p>Manchester United purchasing Benjamin Sesko opens the door for Ramus Hojlund and\/or Joshua Zirkzee\u2019s exit(s). The <em>Rossoneri<\/em> have quickly inquired about the former. The Red Devils don\u2019t oppose a loan with an option to buy, <em>Gianluca Di Marzio<\/em> reports. Instead, the center-forward isn\u2019t in a rush to leave Old Trafford, but there\u2019s time to talk him into it. The same goes for the Serb, who\u2019s the biggest thorn in Juventus\u2019 side on the transfer market. So far, he\u2019s provided an opening only toward a reunion with Massimiliano Allegri. The two sides can address each other\u2019s needs, both technical and financial, through a late swap if nothing more convenient comes around. The Old Lady could certainly use Alexis Saelemaekers or Strahinja Pavlovic, but they might settle for a pair of deputies. They aren\u2019t terribly deep in any role. Still, the fee wouldn\u2019t be an obstacle even in a straight acquisition, while his personal terms indeed are. While it\u2019s true that he\u2019s due to pocket \u20ac12M next year, it\u2019s because of a \u20ac4M bonus that the <em>Bianconeri<\/em> will most likely have to pay regardless of whether he\u2019s still with them, while the net salary is \u20ac8M. It\u2019s still high for other teams\u2019 standards, but not absurdly so.<\/p>\n<h3>Antonio Conte Will Raise the Temperature Concerning the Transfer Market<\/h3>\n<p>Napoli have had a strong summer, making their squad more equipped to deal with multiple competitions through quality additions, even though some negotiations have taken longer than expected given their supposed firepower. On the other hand, they haven\u2019t secured all their targets. They haven\u2019t pivoted toward other top-notch wingers after Dan Ndoye moved elsewhere. Considering the gargantuan Victor Osimhen deal, their spending doesn\u2019t look all that impressive and isn\u2019t as lavish as they trumpeted when they convinced the boss to stick around amid Juventus\u2019 courtship. It won\u2019t be anything traumatic or earth-shattering, but it wouldn\u2019t be surprising if the coach needled the higher-ups on the matter in an interview or a press conference while there\u2019s still time to make more deals.<\/p>\n<h3>Federico Chiesa Will Return to Serie A<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s been mostly radio-silent for the Italian winger so far, even though he\u2019s reportedly very available and eager to transfer. Perhaps clubs are waiting for him to become even more of a bargain, or maybe his demands are a tad too rich for most Italian outfits. Still, with the World Cup hopefully around the corner, he needs to get out of Anfield to resume featuring consistently. He\u2019s too young to be washed and afterthought already. He would fit nicely on several sides.<\/p>\n<h3>Parma Will Sell Giovanni Leoni<\/h3>\n<p>They have every reason in the world to keep an 18-year-old whose trajectory is crystal clear and whose ceiling is immense, considering his physical skills and the poise and reliability he has already shown. On the other hand, in addition to obviously wanting to keep enjoying a young stud, teams generally hold out on selling a youngster on the transfer market to get larger offers in the future. Even though this feels like one of the safest bets possible, if the <em>Ducali<\/em> can pocket \u20ac35\/40 million this summer, that\u2019s more than satisfying already. If the proposals reach that magnitude, they shouldn\u2019t take the risk of something odd happening. A bidding war would facilitate it since some top English teams are in the mix. The caveat is that the player and his camp aren\u2019t pushing to leave and are aiming for a destination where he\u2019d have a starring role, which is where things might get tricky, as good as he is already.<\/p>\n<table class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color: #ebf5ff;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 60px; border: 0px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 0px; text-align: center;\"><strong>Follow us on <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Google News<\/span> for more updates on Serie A and Italian football<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cultofcalcio.com\/five-bold-predictions-for-the-transfer-market-homestretch\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot has already happened this summer, but surely a lot more is to come in the transfer market as deadline day approaches.
