According to Italian media Calciomercato, Manchester City are interested in bidding 60 million for Lautaro, and Inter are willing to consider transferring the Argentine shooter. On the other side, Milan are interested in poaching Roma midfielder Velato, while Juventus have taken a fancy to Sassuolo's rising striker Raspatori.
If there's anything else city can strengthen in their squad today, it's the front line, and after Aguero left, Guardiola lacked an efficient goalscorer. Manchester City have been linked to strikers such as Haaland, and now Lautaro is on the selection list. Last summer, Lautaro just renewed his contract with Inter, which expires in 2026, but Inter may send him away at the end of the season in exchange for transfer funds. After losing his best partner, Romelu Lukaku, has seen his form slip this season, making 32 appearances in all competitions and scoring 12 goals.
Lautaro's new contract does not have liquidated damages clauses, and City's poaching is bound to come at a high price, with Inter priced at him at $110 million last summer. According to the report, Manchester City is considering an offer of 60 million yuan for Lautaro, a figure that may not be able to impress Inter and need to continue to increase prices. In addition, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in Lautaro, and these two companies are also in urgent need of strengthening the front line. In terms of financial resources and attractiveness, Manchester City is not comparable to Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur, if Guardiola must sign Lautaro, I believe That City will meet his wishes.
On the other hand, negotiations to renew the contract with Casey are not progressing, and AC Milan are looking for a replacement for the Ivorian midfielder, and they have a crush on Velette. The 28-year-old Veletto is a French midfielder who has played for Teams such as Villa and Fiorentina before joining Roma in the summer of 2020 for $17.5 million. Veretto has been playing as a main player in Rome, but after Mourinho brought in Portuguese midfielder Oliveira in the winter window, the former began to lean back in the appearance and is now just a rotating player.
According to the report, AC Milan is willing to pay about 20 million transfer fees for Veletto, which is basically in line with the player's assessed value. Wellerto's ability is comprehensive, he has a good scoring ability (10 league goals last season, 4 goals this season so far), and a wealth of Serie A experience, is a ready-to-play force, and will be a good addition to Milan's squad.
On the other side, Juventus' contract extension talks with Dybala broke down and the Argentine striker looked set to leave for free in the summer. Juve are looking for a replacement for Dybala, and they have met Sassuolo's rising star Ras padoli. The 21-year-old young striker is an Italy U21 international with great talent, scoring seven goals in 24 league games this season. Juve's introduction of Raspadori is a reserve for the future, and his value is about 25 million.
