Celta Vigo closer to a deal with Club Brugge for former Barcelona striker
Sacha Tavolieri has revealed that Celta Vigo are getting close to a deal with Club Brugge for the signing of striker Ferran Jutgla. The former Barcelona striker is expected to leave Belgium this season and a move to La Liga and Celta Vigo looks the most likely. According to Tavolieri, the clubs are still not in full agreement but the Spanish club are getting closer to what Club Brugge are looking for. The 26-year-old striker scored 14 goals in 54 games for the side this season, just one shy of his 15 goal best season for the club during the 2022/2023 campaign. Jutgla joined Club Brugge from Barcelona that season, where he had played nine games for the Catalan giants, scoring twice. Jutgla looks set to leave the side with 40 goals in 148 games, which includes a handful during successful Champions League campaigns. For Club, their striker situation appears more settled now with the recent contract renewal for young star Romeo Vermant. GBeNeFN | Ben Jackson

Only one of Dovbyk and Abraham will remain at Roma
Only one of Dovbyk and Abraham will remain at Roma Roma are rumored to be preparing for a mini revolution in the offensive department, with the fate of Tammy Abraham and Artem Dovbyk still to be written. Both forwards have closed seasons with inconsistent performances and, to date, their simultaneous stay in the capital seems complicated, both for technical and economic reasons. Advertisement The Englishman, returning from a lackluster loan at Milan, still has an expensive contract with the Giallorossi. The Ukrainian, signed for a large fee twelve months ago, has scored 17 goals but has not fully convinced in terms of performances. Now it will be up to Gian Piero Gasperini, recently made official on the Roma bench, to evaluate the possibilities of relaunching both. Gasperini had already shown interest in Abraham during his time at Atalanta, a sign that the coach values the player for his physical and athletic characteristics. Dovbyk, on the other hand, could reflect a profile more similar to that of Retegui. Advertisement The new coach will want to test both, but he is aware that the economic needs of the club could prevail over the technical choices. Ricky Massara is called upon to unblock the necessary exits to comply with UEFA agreements, in view of the closing of the budget set for June 30. The sale of Abraham, for example, would free up an important salary and allow for a useful capital gain, writes Il Tempo.

Yuri Alberto advances as possible Roma reinforcement
Roma look to Brazil to strengthen their offensive department, setting their sights on Yuri Alberto of Corinthians. With the need to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season and awaiting the transfers needed to settle the account, new sporting director Frederic Massara is carefully evaluating the profile of the Brazilian centre-forward, who has already been followed by several European clubs in recent transfer sessions, writes Leggo. Advertisement Physicality, movement and a sense of goal are the main qualities that make Yuri Alberto an attractive name for European football. The player grew up in Santos, has already had experience in Europe with Zenit, and in 2022 he returned to his homeland to wear the Timão jersey. Roma needs to renew the attack, as requested by Gasperini: with Abraham and Dovbyk both at risk, the club is exploring profiles capable of guaranteeing valid alternatives compatible with the coach's playing system. In this context, Yuri Alberto represents a credible candidate, even if the negotiation will not be simple. Corinthians values the striker's price tag at around 20-25 million euros, a figure that could only drop in the event of a structured offer or technical counterparts that the Brazilian club appreciates. Massara considers the cost high, but not out of reach if Roma manages to complete the necessary sales by the end of the month. The negotiations with Corinthians could come to life in July, when Roma will have greater financial freedom to maneuver. The goal remains to give Gasperini a renewed attack, functional to his style of play and more incisive than last season.
