Today is officially the first day of the winter transfer window: a session in which Italian teams are getting to work right away.
Let’s take a look at the most important news of the day.
Juventus, opportunities from Arabia
As Tuttosport writes, Juventus could look to Saudi Arabia to find a midfield opportunity in the January market, given Inter’s €35 million asking price for Frattesi.

Ruben Neves’ contract with Al-Hilal expires in 6 months and his agent is exploring European destinations. Brozovic’s renewal with Al-Nassr (also expiring in June) remains uncertain; he has already worked with Spalletti at Inter. The Kessie track appears more difficult.
Milan, Fenerbahce interested in Fofana
In recent hours, Fenerbahce has reportedly made an inquiry for Fofana: for now, there is no openness from either Milan or the player, as reported by Daniele Longo of calciomercato.com.
The Turkish club is in fact looking for a midfielder in January: according to journalist Sercan Hamzaoğlu, Goretzka is also among the profiles they like.
Inter, Akanji redemption and Palacios’ future
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter will redeem Akanji even if they do not win the Scudetto: a condition that would impose the obligation to buy at €15 million.

The opposite situation for Tomas Palacios: La Rosea states that the player is for sale but he does not want to leave Milan in this session. However, if an offer were to arrive from Independiente Rivadavia (the defender’s former club), the situation could change in January.
Napoli, Lang could go to Turkey
According to Fabrizio Romano, Noa Lang’s future could be far from Napoli: “There is a possibility he could leave in January [...] there have been several difficult moments in terms of feeling”.
“As of today, I am not aware of any ongoing negotiations with Galatasaray, but Turkey could still be a possible destination”. Recently, in fact, the player was simply offered to Galatasaray by his agents according to Corriere dello Sport.
Roma, Raspadori getting closer
As Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo writes, Raspadori’s arrival is increasingly likely: Roma and Atletico Madrid are close to a final agreement, the player is keen, and only the economic agreement with the player is missing.

The striker is a favorite of Gasperini who, as Pedullà recalls, had also requested him in the summer from the management and had tried to sign him during his time at Atalanta.
Lazio, Oyarzabal as the post-Castellanos?
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Castellanos’ replacement could be Mikel Oyarzabal: a 1997-born striker from Real Sociedad.
The difficult moment of the Basque team, currently 16th in the standings, could be important in the negotiations. The salary would be affordable as he earns €1.7 million net per year.
