Transfer Market, Insigne Ready to Return to Italy: Como Wants Him

Como is the most active club in the winter transfer market right now. Staying in the top flight is still a goal they can't quite achieve, but the ownership is solid and eager to invest.

So, after the arrivals of goalkeeper BUTEZ and offensive winger ASSANE DIAO, Spanish U.21 international, the management of the Lariani is working to make other signings. One, for the defense, is RAFA MARIN, who has not found space at Napoli but in whom Real Madrid believes to the point of having kept, in any case, the right to 'recompra'.

For the forward department, which could lose BELOTTI for whom there have been contacts with Venezia, the hottest names are INSIGNE, determined to leave MLS and Toronto and ready to lower his salary in order to return to Italy (Monza is also interested in him), and IKONE' who is leaving Fiorentina. For the midfield, the discussion continues, well underway, with the former Roma player MATIC. In addition, there is always DELE ALLI who is training at the court of Fabregas, where FRESNEDA is also arriving, a full-back born in 2004, owned by Sporting Lisbon, and in the Spanish national team.

Napoli is also working on it, having in the meantime taken the 21-year-old Italian-Albanian midfielder HASA on a permanent basis, perhaps to be loaned out until June to allow him to play consistently. The Neapolitan club is closing in on DANILO and has also gone for CASADEI from Chelsea, given FAZZINI's intention to prefer Lazio to Antonio Conte's team. The former Inter talent seemed to have reached an agreement with Torino, but is now considering the proposal from De Laurentiis' emissaries, who are also competing with Lazio for GHILARDI, a promising defender from Verona. and for PAYERO, a midfielder from Udinese who would prefer to finish the season in Friuli. In addition to Marin, ZERBIN is leaving Soccavo for Venice and NGONGE, who instead has requests from Bologna, Genoa and Verona, his former club.

FOLORUNSHO is destined for Fiorentina, who would like to strengthen the defense with PABLO MARÌ from Monza, while for the attack the dream is the Brazilian international LUIZ HENRIQUE from Botafogo. From England comes the word that Manchester City have identified ROVELLA as the ideal replacement for the long-term absentee Rodri and that therefore for president Lotito an offer of 40 million euros is ready.

Formello's number one manager would have responded by asking for 1. If the deal goes through, Lazio would reinvest part of the sum to take BELAHYANE from Verona. In the meantime, Milan is working on the RASHFORD track, leaving Manchester United who are also giving him on loan. The salary to be paid between now and June would be between 50 and four million, an affordable figure for the Rossoneri, especially if OKAFOR were to go to Leipzig. But if Rashford faces competition from Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaray, in the meantime Milan, on the advice of coach Sergio Conceiçao, also like PEPE', the 3,5-year-old left winger from Porto who also has an EU passport.

Juventus are also looking for a striker, and the most popular names are those of KOLO MUANI and ZIRKZEE, the latter being Thiago Motta's favourite. The primary need, however, is to find one or two defenders, so contacts have resumed for PSG's SKRINIAR. The name of the German FULLKRUG is also circulating, who wants to leave West Ham, although Lopetegui's dismissal could change things. And speaking of Germany: Parma have said no to an offer from Bayern Munich for SUZUKI, who has been followed for a long time by the Bavarians' scouts. Chapter Rome: LE FEE is close to Sunderland, on loan with an obligation to buy in the event of promotion to the Premier League.

ALBERTO COSTA of Vitoria Guimaraes, who had been identified as a possible reinforcement for the right flank, will instead go to Sporting Lisbon, for ten million. At Trigoria the market is also being made at the management level, and the names of ANTONELLO of Inter as the new CEO and SARTORI of Bologna as the new general manager are very hot.
