9.6.26 Lazio: Transfers

Lazio have completed the permanent signing of Senegal striker Boulaye Dia from Salernitana for €11.3 million after two seasons on loan. Dia scored 14 goals in 78 appearances during his time with Lazio, though he struggled last season with just two goals in all competitions. The 29-year-old also lost his place in the Senegal national team setup but will hope a permanent move to Rome helps revive his career ahead of the new Serie A season.

6.6.26 Inter: Transfers

Inter Milan have re-signed Serbian midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic after activating a buyback clause following his successful season with Club Brugge. The 20-year-old signed a contract through 2031 after helping Brugge win the Belgian league title and earning Belgian Young Footballer of the Year honors.

6.6.26 Napoli: Transfers

Napoli have exercised their option to sign forward Alisson de Almeida Santos on a permanent transfer from Sporting. Alisson impressed during his spell with Napoli, making 15 appearances and scoring four goals. His performances convinced the club to secure his long-term future in Naples.

4.6.26 Napoli: Transfers

Rasmus Hojlund has completed a permanent move from Manchester United to Napoli after a successful season-long loan spell. The transfer is worth approximately £43.2 million, including the original loan fee, significantly less than the £72 million United paid for him in 2023. Hojlund played a key role under coach Antonio Conte, scoring 16 goals and providing eight assists in 44 appearances as Napoli won the Supercoppa Italiana, finished second in Serie A, and qualified for the Champions League.

28.5.26 Lazio: Injuries

Danilo Cataldi has undergone surgery in Barcelona to fix a long-standing sports hernia issue that troubled him throughout the season with Lazio. The midfielder had not played since the Coppa Italia semi-final against Atalanta in April and delayed the operation until the season ended in hopes of returning fully fit for preseason in July. Cataldi confirmed the procedure went well and is expected to begin recovery in Italy soon. He will return to a changed environment at Lazio after Maurizio Sarri left the club, with Gennaro Gattuso reportedly set to become the new coach.

28.5.26 Napoli

Romelu Lukaku has dismissed speculation about his future at Napoli, insisting his commitment to the club remains strong despite a difficult, injury-hit season and tensions with management. Lukaku criticized Italian media coverage of his rehabilitation in Belgium as exaggerated and defended his decision to recover away from the club, saying his focus was on returning to full fitness. The striker also addressed his strained relationship with departing manager Antonio Conte, but emphasized he has no desire to leave Napoli before his contract expires in 2027.

26.5.26 Milan

AC Milan have dismissed manager Massimiliano Allegri after the club finished fifth in Serie A and failed to qualify for the Champions League. Milan called the season an "unequivocal failure" following a late collapse in form, capped by a 2-1 home loss to Cagliari in Allegri's final match. Reports link the vacancy to outgoing Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, who recently guided Bournemouth to a historic Europa League qualification.

24.5.26 Juventus: Injuries

Juventus will be without Kenan Yildiz for Sunday's derby against Torino because of a calf strain, while Dusan Vlahovic is also a doubt with an adductor problem. The Bianconeri are hoping to have the striker available for what could be his final game for the club as they chase a crucial win in the race for a Champions League place. Jonathan David is expected to lead the attack if Vlahovic cannot play.
