Napoli make Hojlund permanent after Champions League qualification
Manchester United have confirmed that Rasmus Hojlund has joined Napoli on a permanent transfer, with the move triggered after the Italian club secured Champions League football. The striker spent the season on loan in Naples, and the obligation to buy was activated once Napoli finished second in Serie A.
The Manchester Evening News reported the fee was set at €44million (£38m), underlining how Napoli turned a loan spell into a major long-term commitment. For Napoli, it is a significant attacking move ahead of their return to Europe's elite competition, while United lose a forward whose departure had already been expected once qualification was secured.
Juventus stars attract Premier League transfer interest
Juventus are at the centre of multiple transfer stories, with Pierre Kalulu and Guglielmo Vicario both linked to Premier League moves. GiveMeSport reported Manchester United are eyeing Kalulu on a £35m deal, while Inside Futbol said Juventus are also assessing Vicario and Emiliano Martinez as they search for reinforcements between the posts.
The Kalulu interest is especially notable because the France defender has become one of Juventus' most reliable performers, yet the club may still be forced into sales after missing out on Champions League football. Juventus are trying to protect themselves by offering Kalulu an improved long-term contract, but the transfer noise suggests summer pressure is already building in Turin.
Nico Paz hailed as Argentina's World Cup wildcard
NDTVSports.com says Nico Paz's inclusion in Argentina's World Cup plans is driven more by his profile than raw potential, despite an outstanding campaign at Como. The 2026 World Cup squad place is being treated as a precious decision, and Paz's rise in Serie A has made him one of the most intriguing young midfielders in the tournament conversation.
His performances at Como have brought widespread praise for technical quality and maturity, and the article notes Real Madrid are expected to remain part of his future picture. For Serie A, it is another sign that the league continues to shape high-value international talent, even when the player is still viewed as a developing prospect.
Bologna move first for Oosterwolde and monitor more targets
Bologna's new technical director Domenico Tedesco has reportedly identified Fenerbahçe defender Jayden Oosterwolde as his first transfer target, according to Haberler.com. The Dutch player is under contract until 2028, so any move would require a serious bid rather than a quick bargain deal.
The story is important because Bologna are already shaping their summer market around Tedesco's ideas, with the club preparing to move early for a player he knows well from his time at Fenerbahçe. It also shows how Serie A sides are looking abroad for defensive reinforcements as they plan for the 2026-27 season.
Bologna-linked Emil Holm eyes England move
Inside Futbol reports that Everton have been namechecked for Bologna right-back Emil Holm, with the Sweden international said to have 'England is top of mind'. Holm joined Bologna in the summer of 2024 after earlier spells in Denmark and at Spezia, where he had previously drawn interest from West Ham United and Brighton.
The link matters for Bologna because Holm has already endured a mixed spell marked by injury issues, making him a player whose future could become part of the club's wider squad reshuffle. For Everton, it is another example of a Premier League side circling a Serie A defender with a proven track record in Italy.
El Azzouzi returns to Bologna after Auxerre loan
Morocco World News reports that Oussama El Azzouzi's loan spell at Auxerre has ended, with the French club confirming his return to Bologna for next season. The 25-year-old midfielder joined Auxerre in August 2025 on a season-long loan and made 11 Ligue 1 appearances.
His return gives Bologna another defensive midfield option after a year in France, where he was used for stability in central areas. Even without a headline transfer fee, the move matters because Bologna are regaining a player who can help deepen the squad as they prepare for the next campaign.
Juventus attack judged blunt after 28-goal gap to Inter
Yahoo Sports' Juventus season review says the Bianconeri finished the 2025-26 campaign second in Serie A for shots on target with 227, only two behind Inter Milan. Yet Inter still scored 28 more goals, a sharp statistical verdict on Juventus' inefficiency up front.
The analysis underlines why Juventus' forward line is already under scrutiny as the club heads into summer planning. Despite generating chances at an elite rate, the lack of finishing has left the attack looking dysfunctional, and that helps explain the transfer pressure now surrounding several squad areas.
