Como are ready to send their third offer for

Chelsea

defender

Trevoh Chalobah

, while Pep Guardiola has ended speculation over his possible appointment as Italy’s head coach: ‘I need a break.’

Check out today’s transfer news from Serie A and Italian football with our daily recap.

Juventus confirmed Zeki Celik as their

second summer signing on Thursday

, but there are more updates regarding the Bianconeri, as according to

Sky Sport,

Galatasaray have sounded out Gleison Bremer’s availability and are ready to make a big-money salary offer to the Brazilian defender.

The Bianconeri continue to chase a new centre-forward, and according to

Tuttosport,

they are ready to send their final offer for Randal Kolo Muani. It’s an initial loan deal with an option to buy and a sell-on clause, as part of a transfer package worth €45m.

Mateo Pellegrino of Parma is currently regarded as the main alternative, but the Ducali are looking for a €30m transfer.

Luciano Spalletti held his first 2026-27 press conference today, confirming that he’s open to welcoming Dusan Vlahovic back to the Allianz Stadium: “I did my job with Vlahovic, which was to evaluate his technical qualities, but the economic discussion is not my purview,”

Spalletti said.

“I haven’t spoken to him since the season ended, but he knows my thoughts. Our directors always have the door open.”

Como, who beat Juventus and Milan to Champions League qualification last season, are reportedly ready to make their third offer of the season for

defender Chalobah.

The Blues’ asking price is reportedly €35m, and

Como

are prepared to propose

€30m plus add-ons.

Roma are now forced to look for a replacement for Celik, but are also working to reach an agreement with Crysencio Summerville and West Ham. According to both Sky and Gazzetta, the Giallorossi are willing to make a circa €40m offer to the English club. The Dutch winger returns from his holidays today and will assess Roma’s proposal.

Roma’s city rivals Lazio have continued talks with Dinamo Zagreb over Sergi Dominguez and are confident of securing a loan deal with a €12m obligation to buy.

Inevitably, one of the summer’s storylines does not concern club football but the Italy national team. Andrea Pirlo remains the favourite for the job, but Raffaele Palladino is also being considered,

according to Tuttosport.

Quite certainly, it won’t be Pep Guardiola who takes the hot seat at Coverciano.

“I don’t feel like I’m missing anything mentally,”

Guardiola said today.

“I love my job, but there comes a moment when you feel you need to take a break. Maybe one day I’ll wake up and say, ‘OK, I want to coach again.’ I need to feel that I miss it, and right now I don’t.”

Mergim Vojvoda underwent medical tests with Udinese this morning ahead of a permanent €1.6m transfer from

, including add-ons.

Watford might bring in Iker Bravo from Udinese (Sky). The 21-year-old has just returned from a loan spell at Las Palmas.

Ederson has extended his contract with Atalanta until 2031, just a few days after his move to Manchester United collapsed.

Ivory Coast international Christ Inai Oulai is ready to fly to Florence to undergo his

medical with Fiorentina

. He’ll join the Tuscans from Trabzonspor.
