Tijjani Reijnders’ official transfer from Manchester City to Al Qadsiah for €61 million isn’t just a big deal for those clubs; it’s a massive win for Milan! The Rossoneri had sold the midfielder to City just last year for €54.9 million plus €14 million in bonuses tied to individual and team performance. Here’s the kicker: the agreements stated that if City sold Reijnders permanently before 2030, Milan would immediately bag that full €14 million in bonuses. And guess what? It’s official! Milan’s set to earn that cash, even if the official confirmation on their books won’t come until the financial statements are closed and published, which is expected around October 2027. Still, the money’s secured!
Inter’s Big Name Temptation and Juve’s Young Star
Meanwhile, Inter is still trying to figure out their striker situation. They’re looking to add a fifth forward to Cristian Chivu’s squad, and who pops up on the radar? None other than Gabriel Jesus! The Brazilian forward might be on his way out of Arsenal, who are reportedly open to offers around £30 million. But hold up, there’s a major snag: Jesus’s estimated €9 million net per season salary. That’s a huge problem, and Napoli has reportedly faced the same issue while tracking him for weeks. A deal might only happen if Jesus is willing to take a pay cut and they can work out a sustainable formula, like a loan with an option or obligation to buy. For now, it’s more of a tempting idea than a done deal.
Over at Juventus, they’re all about their young talent, Adin Ličina. The Bianconeri are planning his future and want to carve out a spot for him in the first-team squad, aiming to give him opportunities all season long. Kenan Yıldız is apparently a big fan and good friend of Ličina, even pushing for this solution! But Juve has to watch out, because several other Serie A clubs are circling, ready to pounce on the young prospect.
Napoli’s Goalie Swap Idea and the Season Kick-Off

Fabrizio Romano says the two clubs have been discussing this through intermediaries. Imagine that!
The new Serie A 2026/27 season officially kicks off this Saturday, with the opening round of fixtures wrapping up on Monday evening. These transfer negotiations are still delivering twists and turns as Italian clubs are hustling on both incoming and outgoing deals. Keep your eyes peeled, because there’s clearly more action coming before the first whistle blows!
