Juventus, the deal for Kessié is off, Roma is trying.

Before this move can proceed, Roma must first sell El Aynaoui, a midfielder being pursued by Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Fiorentina faces uncertainty over Joshua Zirkzee, whose hesitation has delayed the sale of Kean to Como. Fiorentina is seeking a replacement and has made an offer for Beto to Everton. Additionally, Fiorentina is pursuing Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds, while Roma is preparing to sign Leonardo Balerdi on loan from Marseille. Juventus is also trying to offload Jonathan David before potentially signing Zirkzee.
