Hello Matte, welcome back here to our Italian channel. As always, Francesco Porzio and Matteo Moretto for all the latest news, transfer market updates. Before we start, I invite you, as always, to subscribe here to our channel, and also to WhatsApp, you'll find the link in the description. Matte, so let's start again with a topic we've talked about extensively in recent weeks, perhaps even in recent months, the one concerning Rafa Leao. A statement also arrived from Fenerbahce on Saturday. What is his situation at the moment? >> Yes, hello Francesco, to all those who follow us morning, afternoon, evening, in short, lots of market updates every time. Uh, let's start our video today with uh Rafa Leao, the future of Rafa Leao, we've said it more and more times, um, he is expected to join the team for training, uh, he will certainly start uh this first phase, no, uh of the season uh unofficial with Milan, but Rafa's desire remains to change air. and he has said it more and more times, respecting the club that has given him everything, but, you know, he is open to uh facing a new challenge and will listen to the proposals that arrive. Um, I wanted to make a clarification. So, we've been saying this for weeks, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray have already contacted those who actually manage Rafa Leao's interests, but to date, neither Galatasaray nor Fenerbahce have submitted an official offer to Milan. There has been talk of numbers, talk of figures, talk of potential salary with Rafa Leao's entourage, but nothing official even in this regard. So, all verbal chatter. That there is interest, yes. That there is an offer, no. Especially to Milan. No offer has arrived at Milan. Uh, and furthermore, I can tell you that there is no possibility at the moment, uh, today, July 26th, that Rafa Leao can leave Milan on loan, not even with a mandatory buy-out option to date. So, in theory, these are the conditions. Milan is looking for a permanent transfer, but the truth is that to date, no official written offers have arrived at Milan, so, you know, the situation is as follows. Instead, a proposal has arrived, at least verbally, from Torino for Comizzo, Fiorentina's defender, a player who, you know, has also attracted the interest of other clubs in Italy and beyond. What is his situation? Should we keep Torino as a live option in the coming hours? Yes, absolutely. An option that is being talked about a lot today, we confirm it with Musso who in the past was linked, but was truly sought after, you know, by Napoli, especially I remember it was a January, I think, not this one, but the previous one, if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't want to say for sure it was the previous one, uh, but Comizzo has always had great admirers in Italy. Uh, then last summer Milan had asked for information, they really liked Comizzo as a type of Italian player, young, you know, promising. To date, Torino is the team that is negotiating with Musso and Fiorentina. They tell me that the negotiation is not yet in an advanced stage, but there are contacts, there is uh the will from Torino to arrive at uh to understand well effectively the costs of the operation, so, you know, we'll see if this option heats up, but, you know, Comizzo is liked by Torino. >> You spoke of Milan's interest in Comuzzo in the past. Today, in the last few hours, some rumors concerning Gerard Martin, Barcelona's defender, regarding Milan, have become fashionable again. Is this an option we should keep alive or is it not heating up too much at the moment? No, it's not that it's not heating up too much. I can tell you that to date there is nothing between Milan and Gerard Martin. At this moment there is really nothing. And I also tell you that Gerard Martin's will remains, and continues to be, to stay at Barcelona. Uh, Flick does not want Gerard Martin to leave Barcelona. Then, of course, if an important offer arrives, etc., etc., etc., perhaps the club can also evaluate it, but to date the intention is that Gerard Martin stays at Barça and I even tell you that, you know, the parties have uh all the desire and all the intention to uh to try to renew their contract, uh, so, so to renew and extend Gerard Martin's contract which to date expires in 2028. Player, uh, of Milan, Benasser, perhaps former Milan player, the negotiation is now at its final stage, right for his, for his farewell. >> Yes, let's say that the story between Ismael Benasser and Milan is over. The contract termination has been signed, so Benasser is no longer a Milan player and has already left for Qatar, where in the coming hours he will undergo medical examinations and sign his contract with Al-Gharafa, so, you know, Benasser is already history for Milan. Listen Matte, we started the video this morning, this Sunday in July, uh, as a song said, well, that's another thing, um, with uh Castro at the final stage for Roma. Mh, should we expect something in the coming hours, perhaps already this Sunday evening which then leads to Monday. But that Castro could arrive this evening in Rome, they deny it to me because, you know, the team today at this moment is uh for a friendly match, if I'm not mistaken. Uh, but in any case, uh, certainly from tomorrow the contacts will resume to finalize a deal that is already at the details. Uh, I told you, I told you this morning Castro to Roma and it's practically all done. We are at the details. Uh, they are just refining uh percentages on future sales, just a few bonuses between Roma and Bologna. Uh, in a separate operation, Dovbik should go on loan to Bologna, but in this case, Dovbik's definitive ok is still missing, who is waiting a bit to understand the market developments, even if Dovbik, as I said this morning, is seriously tempted by the Bologna option on loan, so Dovbik hasn't definitively closed, on the contrary, he's opening up, but definitive agreements are still missing, so, you know, I wouldn't expect anything shocking this evening, but from tomorrow. Yes. >> To conclude this video, meanwhile, words from Massimiliano Allegri have also arrived, no? Napoli's coach, he spoke about Lucca, he spoke about De Bruin, he said "De Bruin is technically good, then he will have the motivations, he will have a squad up to par to face the three fronts". So, anyway, on De Bruin, this sort of uh I don't know if I should say courtship, anyway a desire, no, from the part of Napoli, also Manna's words the other day, no, to wait for De Bruin, no, to understand what his motivations will be for the new season. I don't know what you think about this. >> Yes, absolutely. You know, Napoli knows that De Bruin is an important player when he has been used, when he has been able to play, have his playing time, beyond injuries, during the past season, uh, he did more than well. Then, you know, uh, I believe that the change of coach can also do good to De Bruin because, you know, the relationship with Conte was not exactly optimal and so, you know, we will understand, we will understand once De Bruin returns what his future will be, but Napoli wants to keep him. >> Well Matte, we'll update each other in the coming hours also with Fabrizio and nothing else, I invite you, as always, to subscribe here to the YouTube channel, and also to WhatsApp, and we'll update you later. Bye. Bye.
