Transfer update Serie A: Juventus gets calls about Thuram, Milan follows Guernier, Lazio thinks about Beukema
As the 2026 World Cup kicks off, Serie A clubs are switching gears on the transfer market: interest in Khéphren Thuram, Milan is chasing Aurelien Guernier, Inter is inquiring about Mastantuono, Napoli is looking for defensive talents, Arsenal is signing up for Koné, Lazio is eyeing Beukema and Fiorentina is looking at El Aynaoui.
Less than a week into the season and the 2026 World Cup is already delivering the first surprises. Spain started with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, while Belgium got no further than a draw against Egypt later in the day. Tonight it is France's turn, one of the big favorites for the world title.
In the meantime, Italian clubs are fully active in the transfer market. This is the state of affairs today.
Juventus: Premier League interest in Khéphren Thuram According to Matteo Moretto, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest have inquired about Khéphren Thuram. The Juventus midfielder had a positive season in black and white and now has to make a choice about his future. Last season, Thuram recorded 45 appearances, 4 goals and 5 assists.
Milan: eye on top talent Aurelien Guernier Milan continues to invest in the future and is closely monitoring Birmingham City winger Aurelien Guernier (2007). According to Gianluca Di Marzio and Luca Bendoni, the first contacts have been made to test the feasibility, with the plan to mature him between the first team and Milan Futuro. The competition is stiff: Chelsea and Strasbourg are also on the trail of the English talent.

Inter: idea Mastantuono in contact with Real Madrid Franco Mastantuono remains one of the most coveted young players. His name was also recently linked to Inter, partly due to contacts between the club management and Real Madrid. The Athletic reports that the Spanish top club is considering loaning out the 2007 player. However, the Argentinian's priority would be to stay where he is playing now; that wish has been passed on to interested clubs by his entourage.
Napoli: two young defensive targets Napoli is looking for defensive reinforcements and, according to Il Mattino (via CalcioNapoli24), is following several young players who are active in the 2026 World Cup. These include the South Korean Lee Han-beom (Midtjylland) and the Australian Lucas Herrington (Colorado Rapids). The club management weighs several profiles; Signals from the tournament can guide strategy.
Roma: Arsenal in action for Manu Koné Manu Koné is a hot topic in Rome. According to Corriere della Sera, after an earlier attempt by Atlético Madrid worth around 45 million euros (including fixed sum and bonuses), Arsenal has taken concrete steps. The Londoners are said to have already reached a broad agreement with the player's camp and now have to talk to Roma, which values Koné at at least 50 million euros. A sale before June 30 is being considered, although the club still sees him as important in coach Gasperini's plan.
Lazio: Beukema in the picture for the rearguard Napoli continues to follow Mario Gila, but negotiations with Lazio are difficult. According to Il Messaggero, an exchange construction could offer a solution. The profile that appeals most within Lazio is Sam Beukema, with a possible financial adjustment in favor of the Romans. President Lotito values Gila at 25 to 30 million euros, partly due to the resale clause to Real Madrid. The names of Lorenzo Lucca and Rafa Marín are also mentioned in the background, although those traces seem less concrete.
Fiorentina: look at Neil El Aynaoui Fiorentina is looking broadly for midfield reinforcement. Il Tirreno reports that, in addition to Azzedine Ounahi - watched live by Fabio Paratici during Brazil–Morocco -, alsoRoma midfielder Neil El Aynaoui is on the list. The 2001-born player reached 25 league duels and nine Europa League appearances last season and sparked interest in Florence. For now, however, the player wants to stay in the capital.
