Football news expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on several major transfer stories, including the latest on Harry Kane, Dusan Vlahovic and Liam Rosenior.

Dusan Vlahovic leaves Juventus

Dusan Vlahovic’s contract at Juventus expires at the end of 30 June and while rumours have suggested that he could sign an extension, he will instead depart on a Bosman deal.

That is according to Romano, who told his YouTube channel" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sTyYFJl7L4" target="_blank">YouTube channel: “Dusan Vlahovic’s time at Juventus is now officially over. His contract expires within the next 48 hours and there was already no agreement to extend it under the club’s previous CEO, Maurizio Scanavino. Because of that, Vlahovic had been offered to several clubs across Europe as Juventus knew he would not be renewing.

“Now the new CEO, Giovanni Carnevali, has made the club’s position clear during a public event in Italy. He said: ‘I have not spoken to Vlahovic. He is an important player, but he is not in our plans.’ That confirms the situation publicly. Vlahovic will officially become a free agent and is available on the market.

“He is asking for significant money in terms of both his signing-on fee and salary, but he remains one of the most attractive strikers currently available on a free transfer.

“He has been offered to several leading clubs in Spain and across Europe. He also has a proposal from Beşiktaş, who are prepared to meet his financial demands. However, before accepting a move to Turkey, Vlahović wants to wait and see whether more attractive opportunities become available.

“Keep a close eye on his situation because he could become one of the biggest stories of the remaining transfer window.”

Juventus transfer plans

While Vlahovic is leaving Juventus, the Serie A giants are also in talks over several eye-catching summer deals.

“Juventus have also confirmed they are in negotiations for Randal Kolo Muani,” Romano said. “As I have already reported, Juventus want the striker, while Paris Saint-Germain are preparing several attacking changes. Goncalo Ramos could leave, with AC Milan and Atletico Madrid both interested.

“PSG also want to move for new attacking options, meaning it is expected to be a busy period in Paris over the coming weeks.”

Romano continued: “Juventus are also looking at signing a new goalkeeper. Emiliano Martínez of Aston Villa is appreciated, but at the moment he is considered too expensive because Villa want a transfer fee and will not allow him to leave for free.

“Another goalkeeper under consideration is Guglielmo Vicario. Vicario is expected to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer. Tottenham’s first-choice goalkeeper will be Antonin Kinsky, with Martin Dubravka expected to provide backup. That makes Vicario a possible option for Juventus, as confirmed by Giovanni Carnevali.”

Harry Wilson and Hayden Hackney secure moves

The Premier League transfer market is beginning to heat up and two transfers are set to be formally announced shortly.

“There are also two completed Premier League transfers worth mentioning today. The first is Leeds United’s signing of Harry Wilson,” Romano said. “The deal is complete, with all documents agreed on a four-year contract. Wilson was determined to make the move despite receiving proposals from the Middle East. He wanted to remain in the Premier League and become a Leeds United player.

“Everton have also completed the signing of Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough. The agreement is worth £17.5 million plus performance-related add-ons linked to appearances and England caps. Everton have great confidence in Hackney’s long-term potential, giving David Moyes another talented young player to strengthen his squad.”

Enzo Maresca joins Manchester City

On Monday, Manchester City officially confirmed the appointment of Enzo Maresca, with Chelsea releasing a fiery statement in response.

“The biggest story of the day is Enzo Maresca becoming the new Manchester City head coach. If you have followed my reporting over the past six or seven months, you will know I consistently said that Maresca was the clear favourite to replace Pep Guardiola. Now it is official,” Romano said.

“Maresca has signed his contract with Manchester City until June 2029. He has spoken about his ambition to win trophies and play attractive, attacking football. The deal has now been completed exactly as expected.”

Romano added: “Chelsea have also released a remarkable statement following Maresca’s departure. The club confirmed they have received compensation worth £17 million for his move to Manchester City, a record figure for a managerial appointment.

“However, Chelsea also stated that, according to their information, Maresca had already been in contact with Manchester City before resigning. The club never mentioned him by name, referring only to ‘our former head coach’, but the message was extremely strong. Chelsea believe he had already planned the move before leaving Stamford Bridge, which created significant tension between both parties.

“Maresca issued an official apology to Chelsea supporters. The club concluded its statement by expressing excitement about working with their new head coach, describing him as a true professional. It brings an end to what became a very tense situation between Chelsea and Maresca.”

Liam Rosenior in talks with Paris FC

Fellow former Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior is also closing in on a return to management amid talks with Paris FC.

“Liam Rosenior could also return to management very soon. He is in advanced discussions to become the new head coach of Paris FC. The club are preparing to part company with Antoine Kombouare, and Rosenior has emerged as the leading candidate,” Romano confirmed.

“There are two other names being considered, but Rosenior is currently the favourite. Talks are progressing over a two-year contract with the option of a further year.”

Nico Paz completes permanent Como move

Nico Paz has been one of the stories of the summer so far and he has officially completed another permanent move to Como, having been bought back by Real Madrid earlier this year.

“Real Madrid have officially confirmed that Nico Paz has completed his permanent move to Como. This is not a surprise because I reported last week that the deal was agreed,” Romano said.

“Nico Paz has explained that this is the best decision both for himself and for Real Madrid. He is not rejecting the Spanish club. Instead, he wants regular football, the chance to play every week, compete in European competition and become a central figure for Como. His plan is to continue developing before eventually returning to Real Madrid.

“Real Madrid have protected their position by including a buy-back clause that becomes active during the summer of 2027, giving them the opportunity to bring Nico Paz back in the future.”

Harry Kane and Barcelona latest

Finally, Romano provided the truth on Barcelona’s reported interest in Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane.

“There has been reporting in England suggesting Barcelona made contact regarding Kane,” Romano said.

“Some sources have confirmed that Barcelona did make an exploratory call several days ago to understand the situation. However, there has been no official offer, no formal negotiations and no discussions over personal terms. It was simply an enquiry to assess the possibility.

“The player’s priority remains signing a new contract with Bayern Munich, with negotiations continuing between both parties. I will provide a more detailed explanation on that situation in the coming days.”
