According to Alfredo Pedulla, Conte spoke with Juventus striker Federico Chiesa, convincing the player to join Napoli this summer.

Roma's Paulo Dybala may move to another Serie A club because he wants to play in the Champions League, according to Tuttosport.

The 30-year-old believes that it is because of his lack of Champions League appearances that he was not included in Argentina's bid for the Copa America. The Roman club may also consider selling Dybala, as his salary will increase from six to eight million euros next season under his current contract.

At the same time, Roma is going to agree on a transfer with Juventus forward Federico Chiesa.

Currently, Barella has missed the friendly matches against Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina due to a muscle injury, but Italy's head coach Luciano Spalletti is confident that the Nerazzurri star will be available for the opening match of Euro 2024 against Albania.

"Juventus has announced that the team's forward Arkadiusz Milik has successfully undergone meniscus surgery.

According to Il Mattino, Saudi Arabia's Al Ahly are aiming to sign a contract with the 25-year-old forward. "Al Ahly is not at all afraid of the clause in the Nigerian's contract of 120 million euros.

But if Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis can still agree to the transfer of Aubameyang, the same cannot be said about Victor himself. The terms of his personal contract have not yet been agreed upon, and Osimhen is in no hurry to accept the offer from Saudi Arabia. He wants to wait a few more weeks and then make a decision.

London Arsenal is still skeptical about the potential acquisition of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, Sky Sport Italy reports.
