Transfer window is heating up in Italy as well, and there are some surprises. One of the best wingers in Serie A, and an Italy regular Lorenzo Insigne is definitely leaving Napoli, after he failed to reach an agreement over a new contract, but it seems that the player is not so interested in playing competitive football, since he, still in his prime, choose to play in – Canada! After a long ‘battle’ with president De Laurentis over a new deal, the EURO 2020 winner decided to leave the club and choose cash – FC Toronto, who plays in Major League Soccer (USA) will pay the player around 1.4 billion Ksh per year for the next five years. He will earn another 500 million Ksh in various bonuses and will join his new club in June, which means he will play for Napoli until June. Worst of the best in 2021: Relegation tickets booked, but it’s not the only embarrassment they should worry aboutThe other interesting news comes from Roma, where Jose Mourinho is plotting to get another Premier League player: Ainsley Maitland-Niles. After already having Smalling in his team and buying Tammy Abraham this June, the Portuguese is looking after a versatile Arsenal player. The deal is set to be already done, and a loan is arranged until the end of the season. There was an option for an obligation to buy, but that seems to have changed. Maitland-Niles was promised game time but Arteta never fulfilled it and he will get that in Italy now. This is the second Arsenal player Mourinho is after, since a move for Granit Xhaka never materialized. (2.15) MILAN (3.50) ROMA (3.60)As far as Juventus is concerned, there is a list of players who are bound to leave, but not a lot of talk about players coming in. Alvaro Morata has set his sights on Barcelona, as he is not happy in Turin, but told the club that he doesn’t want to force his exit and will stay if the two clubs cannot agree on the fee. Aaron Ramsey is also on the door as Massimiliano Allegri is not counting on him, but there are no big offers for the player. So far, only Burnley was interested, but the Welshman refused. Contrary to Ramsey, there is a lot of interest for Dejan Kulusevski, as Tottenham, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich are all monitoring the player, but Juventus is seeking around 4.5 billion Ksh which could be a stumbling block for any possible transfer.
