FC JUVENTUS: CONCEIÇÃO’S PERMANENT TRANSFER TO BE COMPLETED BY YEAR-END
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have already decided to keep Francisco Conceição beyond this season. The Portuguese winger, signed on an initial loan deal for €7 million last summer, has impressed in his first months in Turin. Juventus are now planning to finalise his permanent signing for €30 million, following a handshake agreement during the summer negotiations between Cristiano Giuntoli, Porto’s directors, and agent Jorge Mendes. The deal is expected to be completed ahead of schedule, by the end of December.

AC MILAN: REIJNDERS CLOSE TO RENEWAL BUT RISKS REMAIN
Tijjani Reijnders is on the verge of extending his contract with AC Milan. In an interview with Ziggo Sport, the Dutch midfielder expressed his gratitude:
"I haven’t signed yet, but it’s a great gesture from Milan. Extending my contract after just one year is a rare reward. It’s a fantastic club to play for."
Despite the renewal talks, Milan remain wary of interest from Premier League giants like Manchester City, particularly if the Rossoneri fail to secure Champions League qualification next season. Reijnders' market value has tripled since his €20 million move from AZ Alkmaar last summer, underlining his importance to the squad.

AS ROMA: THREE TARGETS FOR JANUARY
AS Roma are preparing for a busy January window after a turbulent start to the season, which sees them sitting 15th in Serie A. According to Sky Italia, the Giallorossi’s priorities are:

A right-back to compete with Zeki Çelik.

A central defender to strengthen the backline for Claudio Ranieri’s three-man defence.

A backup striker to support Artem Dovbyk, who has scored six goals in 18 appearances since his €40 million summer move.

SSC NAPOLI: DEFENSIVE TARGETS FOR JANUARY
Napoli are exploring cost-effective defensive reinforcements ahead of the winter market. Sporting director Maurizio Manna has identified several options, including Martin Vitik (Sparta Prague), Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal, on loan), and Diego Coppola (Hellas Verona). The club is focused on balancing squad needs with financial prudence, ensuring they strengthen without overspending.

BOLOGNA: BAGNOLINI SIGNS NEW CONTRACT

Premier League Updates

MANCHESTER CITY: KYLE WALKER SET TO LEAVE IN SUMMER OVERHAUL
Manchester City are planning significant squad changes next summer, and Kyle Walker may be among the high-profile departures, according to TeamTalk. Despite his pivotal role under Pep Guardiola, the emergence of younger, more dynamic players has diminished the England international's importance. With his contract running until 2026, City are open to offers to rejuvenate their defensive options.

LIVERPOOL: VAN DIJK FACING CONTRACT DILEMMA
Virgil van Dijk’s future at Liverpool is uncertain after receiving a renewal offer below his expectations, reports The Athletic. The Dutch defender, whose current deal expires in 2025, remains a cornerstone of the Reds’ defence but may need to accept reduced terms in line with the club’s financial strategy. Van Dijk now faces a key decision: extend his stay at Anfield under revised conditions or seek a new challenge elsewhere.
