Transfer market news today: Napoli, Lucca jumps to the top spot. Roma, new offer for Wesley.

Galatasaray, Morata in retreat
Alvaro Morata is expected in Istanbul for Galatasaray's training camp. However, the Spaniard is waiting for the club's green light—it all depends on Osimhen—to leave Turkey and return to Serie A, where he faces Como.
Rome, Benfica breaks into Rios: the situation
Competition is increasing for Richard Rios , the Colombian midfielder from Palmeiras, who Roma are interested in. Benfica has also swooped in and is ready to offer the Brazilians €30 million. Rios has already turned down Zenit and has put Roma at the top of his list. However, the Giallorossi club must raise their bid after offering €22 million plus €3 million in bonuses, an offer Palmeiras rejected.
Juventus, Kessie targeted for midfield
Juventus is on the hunt for a midfielder. Among their targets is Franck Kessie : the former Atalanta and AC Milan player could return to Serie A after his time in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli. His contract expires in 2026, but his high salary (€14 million net) is making negotiations difficult. Morten Hjulmand , formerly of Lecce and currently playing for Sporting CP, is also a strong contender.
Naples, Lucca takes pole position
Napoli have intensified their contact with Udinese over Lorenzo Lucca in the last few hours. The 24-year-old Piedmontese striker has jumped to the top of the list given the difficulties in securing Darwin Nunez, for whom Liverpool continues to demand over €50 million. For Lucca, who has already reached a financial agreement with Napoli (a four-year contract worth €2 million per season), Udinese is asking €35-40 million.
Juve, final push for Conceiçao
Porto and Juventus are in the final stages of negotiating the deal for Conçeicao . The two clubs have reached a verbal agreement for a fee in excess of €20 million plus bonuses. A final deal is expected today, with Conceiçao set to return to the Bianconeri.
Rome, new offer for Wesley
Roma have submitted a €25 million offer, including bonuses, for Wesley, but Flamengo are still demanding €30 million for the full-back. Wesley has chosen Roma and rejected other offers to play in Serie A. The Giallorossi want to please Gasperini and are ready to raise the offer in the coming hours.
