- Inter Milan are keen to bring in Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi, reported by Corriere dello Sport. Earlier reports had suggested Juventus as being the clear favourites to sign Berardi with the possible motive to off-load him elsewhere, but Inter are looking to hijack the move.
- AS Roma are preparing a move for Newcastle’s Georginio Wijnaldum, the Express on Sunday reports. The Italian club are looking for a replacement for Miralem Pjanic and have identified the Netherlands international as the man to fill in his shoes. Wijnaldum has been heavily tipped to leave the Magpies after they were unable to survive the relegation drop.
