Roma evaluate paying for Lucumi's release clause
Roma want to secure an additional defender for Gian Piero Gasperini. The technician has made his requests clear: he wants Jhon Lucumi of Bologna. The defender has a contract with Bologna until 2026 and, given his excellent season in Emilia, has attracted the attention of several clubs. Advertisement The rossoblu, however, currently have no intention of selling either him or Beukema (who Napoli are interested in), which is why the only way to avoid a negotiation is to pay the €28 million release clause in the contract. According to Sky Sport, Roma are evaluating this option: the money to pay would be a lot, but avoiding a negotiation could speed up the time for his arrival, thus giving Gasperini another piece for his defence.

💣 Milan to sign a top striker: Retegui, Vlahovic or Núñez, Modric visits ⏰
Milan is ready to shake up the summer transfer market with a clear mission: to find a top-notch striker for the new era signed by Massimiliano Allegri. According to Sky Sport, the Rossoneri management is evaluating various options to strengthen the attack and also the defense, with important names already on the notebook. Retegui and Vlahovic in the front row, contacts for Núñez At the top of the list is Mateo Retegui, Atalanta's striker, who has gained Milan's interest with solid performances and constant growth. Contacts between the parties - according to Di Marzio - have resumed, and the Italian-Argentine remains a hot track. Advertisement But that's not all: another name in the spotlight is Dusan Vlahovic. The Juventus striker, an old acquaintance of Allegri, would represent a big hit. The interest is confirmed by Matteo Moretto and Di Marzio. The biggest obstacle remains the player's high salary, who must speak with Juventus' Director Comolli. Another name appears: Darwin Núñez, according to Matteo Moretto, the Rossoneri have sounded out his position despite the high costs. Milan's goal is clear: to take a top-level striker. Zinchenko + Kiwior, and Modric's visits are delayed Milan is not limited to just the attack. According to Sky Sport, the Rossoneri are also seeking reinforcements in defense. The name of Oleksandr Zinchenko has returned to the forefront, Arsenal's left-back, considered the ideal heir to Theo Hernandez. Advertisement The Ukrainian is valued for his international experience and leadership matured in the Premier League, first at Manchester City and now at the Gunners. However, the salary issue remains to be resolved. For La Gazzetta dello Sport, the name of Kiwior is also added: appreciated for his versatility and experience already gained in Italy. Who, on the other hand, has already found a total agreement with Milan is Luka Modric: according to Sky Sport, there are no doubts about the operation, with the Croatian player undergoing medical visits after the Club World Cup in the USA with Real Madrid.

👀 From San Mamés to Munich? Nico Williams, Bayern's top target
Attention because this summer is going to be very busy in Bilbao. As Florian Plettenberg, a journalist from Sky Sport, has just reported, Bayern Munich has a clear target for its transfer market: Nico Williams, forward of the Athletic Club and one of the key players of the Bilbao team. According to the information just published, Nico Williams has reportedly told the Bavarian team that he is seriously considering signing with them. A situation that has led the higher-ups of Bayern Munich, led by their sports directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund, to open negotiations with his representative. Advertisement However, from Bilbao, they have been clear on more than one occasion: whoever wants Nico Williams will have to deposit the player's release clause. A clause that is currently set at just over 60 million euros... but Athletic is already working to increase it with a renewal for Nico Williams. In Florian Plettenberg's report, it is assured that Nico Williams' salary demands would be around 20 million euros gross. Figures that would place him among the highest paid in the Bavarian squad. For now, the negotiation remains open. Anything can happen. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Italy struggle but give sacked Spalletti winning send-off against Moldova
ITALY - Sacked Italy manager Luciano Spalletti bowed out with a victory after his side laboured to an uninspired 2-0 home win over Moldova in their World Cup qualification match on Monday thanks to goals from Giacomo Raspadori and Andrea Cambiaso. Spalletti announced his own dismissal on Sunday following Italy's 3-0 loss in Norway in their opening group game on Friday, but took charge for one final time where again the performance showed why a change of leadership was required. Norway, who won 1-0 in Estonia with Erling Haaland netting the winner, top Group I on 12 points from four games, with Israel on six points after three matches while Italy are third with three points from their two games. "I asked the guys to let me go out with a victory," Spalletti told Sky Sport shortly before kickoff. While his players duly obliged, it was perhaps a fitting end to Spalletti's time on the bench as another lacklustre showing failed to light up a far from full Stadio Citta del Tricolore. With Italy's slow, predictable build-up play failing to break through the visitors' rearguard, the hosts were given an early wake-up call when Ion Nicolaescu found the net only for his goal to be ruled out for offside. Italy's first threat came when defender Luca Ranieri, making his international debut, hit the crossbar with a header, and they found the breakthrough five minutes before the break. A headed clearance fell to Raspadori in the box who struck first time into the bottom corner but Moldova almost levelled before halftime when Oleg Reabciuk's shot from distance was parried away by Gianluigi Donnarumma. Artur Ionita's follow-up effort went wide of the far post and Daniel Dumbravanu's header from a corner was cleared off the line by Federico Dimarco as Italy hung onto their lead. Italy doubled their lead five minutes into the second half when substitute Riccardo Orsolini sent a low cross into the area which Davide Frattesi knocked on to Cambiaso who fired past keeper Cristian Avram. The two-goal cushion failed to inspire Italy. Frattesi was sent through on goal from a ball over the top by Alessandro Bastoni but he sent his shot straight at the keeper and Moldova continued to create chances of their own. "We struggled again tonight," Spalletti told Rai Sport. "When you are the coach of the national team you cannot have alibis because he chooses the players and if they don't do well he can change them." Spalletti's name was booed by large sections of the crowd when read out before kickoff, and the game failed to improve the mood, and Italian fans will hope for better when a replacement, rumoured to be Claudio Ranieri, is installed.
