Here are the transfer news and rumours for the day:
#1 Serie A
- Italian newspaper Corriere Dello Sport claims that under-fire Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas is on his way out of the club. Serie A giants Juventus and Inter are apparently interested in signing the Spain international for a reported fee of £18m.
- Napoli and Sampdoria are reportedly interested in bringing Ciro Immobile back to Italy according to Gianluca Di Marzio. The striker is currently on loan at Sevilla, but has only featured in seven league games so far this season.
- Palermo officially reached a deal for Manuel Artaega from Zulia FC after he passed his medicals today.
“US Citta di Palermo and Zulia Football Club reached a deal for the definitive transfer of footballer Manuel Arteaga,” reads the statement on the club’s official website.
- Genoa have reportedly made an offer for Roma full-back Vasilis Torosidis. The negotiation may be further complicated by the fact that the club from the capital have already shown interest in Genoa striker Diego Perotti. A deal for Torosidis could therefore end up involving Perotti as well.
