Sources tell me that Verona were the first club to establish contact with Atalanta, while Sassuolo are interested in both Idzes and Fali Candé and have held talks for both defenders.
Torino held talks over Oristanio and Idzes

Torino have also spoken to Venezia in recent days. The Granata are long-time admirers of Gaetano Oristanio and while trying to reach an agreement over the transfer formula for the Italian striker, they have also mentioned Idzes in negotiations with Venezia.
Torino may have the funds to beat their competitors if Saul Coco quickly accepts an offer from Spartak Moscow, but everything can still happen on the Idzes front, bearing in mind that Venezia value their captain at €10m.

Barcelona Reject Chelsea Offer That Includes €45M-Rated Man Utd, PSG-Linked Attacker
Manchester United and PSG have been linked with Christopher Nkunku this year, as questions continue to grow over his future at Chelsea. Nkunku joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 in a £52 million move, but injuries and strong competition have limited his impact. With doubts surrounding his role, transfer speculation is starting to build. Journalist Ben Jacobs previously reported that PSG explored a potential reunion with Nkunku earlier this year but chose not to move forward. Meanwhile, TEAMtalk reported Saturday that Chelsea are open to selling and could drop their asking price to around €45 million as they look to trim their wage bill. The report also notes that Nkunku, who scored 15 goals in 48 appearances last season, is believed to be the club's fourth-highest-paid player. Inter are also said to be keeping an eye on the situation and could explore a loan or other flexible options. Man Utd, PSG target won't be going to BarcelonaAccording to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have rejected Chelsea's proposal to include Nkunku as part of a deal for Spain midfielder Fermin Lopez. In July, L'Équipe reported that Nkunku is expected to cost between €35 million and €40 million this summer. Bayern Munich are among the few clubs Nkunku would be open to joining, but there haven't been any concrete talks yet. Manchester United and Inter Milan have recently made inquiries, while Bayern Munich remain interested. However, they are currently focused on other priorities.
