Before his failure, there were rumors that the former Juventus player was returning to Italy with AC Milan as their suitors.

Kulusevski has not yet played under Roberto De Zerbi, but the coach is keen to keep him. The Italian manager wants to keep him even if the north London club loses in the Championship.

Tottenham Hotspur, for their part, are not planning to sell him in the summer, while the player has also ‘never expressed a desire’ to leave.

Sources close to him insist his focus is on regaining full fitness as he is ‘determined to return to the pitch and return to the highest level.’

However, Calciomercato has warned that Spurs’ expulsion from the Premier League could impact on the Swede’s future.

Galatasaray have added burnley Defender Maxime Esteve has been included in their list of potential targets should he leave the Premier League.

sok newspaper report The 23-year-old wants to leave Turf Moor this summer and Galatasaray have added him to their list.

The newspaper states that Galatasaray currently only have one left-footed central defender in their squad, Abdulkerim Bardaki.

They consider it a short-term problem and want to fix it in the coming months.

Burnley defenders in the list

Galatasaray have added Burnley defender Maxim Esteve as the latest name on their list of potential options.

Unless there is a late change, something that would require a miracle at this point, the Clarets will be back in the Championship next season.

This has opened the door for contenders like Galatasaray. The 23-year-old also wants to leave Turf Moor this summer. He is currently valued at €25m, and Galatasaray could make an official offer.

However, whether the Turkish side will offer that amount is unclear. Sok Gazetesi says any proposal would depend on other options on their list. Esteve is also rated at €25m by Transfermarkt.

Selling Esteve at that price would earn Burnley more than double the €12m they paid in July 2024.

But there is no pressure to sell. He is currently tied to a deal until 2030 after signing a new contract last summer.

summer escape wanted

Should Esteve leave this summer, his stance could force Burnley to agree a deal regardless of the contract. It seems he’s ready to move on and see what elsewhere has to offer.

There has been interest in the Premier League in the pastHowever that never developed into anything concrete. However, this could change if he makes clear his desire to move on.

Currently, Galatasaray are eyeing him.

Like most Turkish sides, they are not averse to sniffing around soon-to-be-relegated clubs for potential bargains. And it seems that’s what has taken him to Burnley and Esteve this time.

In January, David Fratesi was close to joining Nottingham Forest. Since then, circumstances have not improved for the Inter Milan player, whose future remains very uncertain.

sports witness The situation in Italy was covered widely two months ago. The Midlands club had found an agreement for an initial loan deal but Inter failed to sign Curtis Jones from Liverpool as a replacement.

This meant that Fratessi stayed at the Nerazzurri, much to the disappointment of everyone involved. He has made only one start since the beginning of February, being dropped only as a back-up option in midfield.

It’s easy to see why the former Sassuolo player would be frustrated with life at Inter. Now, Nottingham Forest could be back in the picture for him.

Survival may be crucial to deal

interlive The report concerns the 26-year-old, who scored vital goals for the Nerazzurri in the Champions League last season. Although he was not a regular under Simone Inzaghi, his profile has dropped further under Cristian Chivu.

There is a belief that while joining AS Roma could be a consideration for Fratessi, he is more likely to end up in England.

‘Talks with Nottingham Forest ‘could restart in the summer’Provided they avoid demotion’. However, it is clear that Vitor Pereira’s side are still keen to bring him to the City Ground.

Fratesi would also be keen to play in the Premier League and a move to the Championship could give other English clubs the chance to sign him.

The financial capability of Premier League sides also attracts the Serie A league leaders. Inter are aware that the Italian club will likely opt for an initial loan, while they would prefer a permanent exit for Fratesi.

Nottingham Forest must press for signing

The current season says little about Fratesi and his qualities as a player. Despite limited playing time, Italy manager Rino Gattuso called him up to the national team last week and it says everything about what Fratesi is capable of.

He has a reputation as someone who scores important goals after making unexpected runs from midfield. This has been a key attribute of his during his time at Sassuolo, showing the value he will add to Nottingham Forest.

At 26 years old, he may also present the possibility of a resale in the future. This will be especially true if Pereira’s side make the most of the midfielder, who will be desperate for a move in the summer.

Interestingly, Fratessi and Lorenzo Lucca are represented by GR Sports. This could make it easier for Nottingham Forest to execute a potential deal at some point in the future.

NAPOLI and Juventus are competing for Wolverhampton Wanderers pair Andre and Joao Gomes this summer.

This is according to Calciomercato. The Italian website report that the Wolves star is firmly in the spotlight in Italy.

According to their information, the Wolves pair are being targeted by clubs across Europe, including Italy, this summer.

Serie A champions Napoli are already in talks with Gomes over a move this summer.

efforts of napoli and juventus

His current deal at Molineux runs until June 2030. Reports elsewhere in Italy say Antonio Conte’s side are in contact with the 25-year-old’s agent.

There is no mention of a possible transfer fee at this point. Wolves paid Flamengo €18.7m in 2023 and will certainly want a big return on that fee, regardless of relegation to the Championship.

Meanwhile, Juventus are ‘pursuing’ Andre. At this stage his efforts appear to be less far-reaching for Gomes than those at Napoli. But the Italian giants are interested in the 24-year-old and are making moves.

Again, there is no mention of what Juventus will pay. Wolves paid €22m for Andre in 2024 and, again, will certainly want to profit on that figure.

What happens next with Andre and Gomes?

However, Sport Witness can estimate Wolves’ asking price, Thanks for a report from last month. That report from Bolavip states that Palmeiras were trying to sign the midfielder.

The Brazilian side made attempts to broker a deal but were put off by Wolves’ demand of €40m.

That figure was far beyond their reach, and the deal was canceled outright. It’s easy to imagine that Wolves would make similar demands of him if he moved to Juventus this summer.

Napoli’s interest in Joao Gomes is nothing new. In fact, Sport Witness covered a report on February 21^{scheduled tribe} Stating that the Italian side were ‘making moves’ to sign him from Wolves this summer. Various other reports thereafter made their interest clear.

Wolves contract, price and agent clues

Andre has a Wolves contract running until 2029, and Transfermarkt estimate his value at €28m. He is represented by Carlos Leite Sports.

Joao Gomes is valued at €40 million on a contract until 2030, including the option of a further year. Interestingly, they are represented by the same agency, which gives a big hint as to where these claims are coming from.

Given Wolves’ situation and almost certain relegation from the Premier League, its natural agents are working to land their clients elsewhere. The duo are the two most valuable players in the Carlos Leite Sports book, and the agency wouldn’t want them in the championship.
