Top 5 Serie A transfer: Palladino leaves, Milan calls Allegri, Inter signs first

Here are the top 5 Serie A transfer and managerial updates as of late May 2025:

1. Inter Milan Finalises €14M Deal for Petar Sucic
Inter Milan has secured a €14 million agreement with Dinamo Zagreb for Croatian midfielder Petar Sucic. The deal includes €2.5 million in performance-related bonuses and a 10% sell-on clause. Sucic, 21, is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Nerazzurri, extending through June 2030. Despite a metatarsal injury sidelining him currently, Sucic has impressed in the Champions League this season, scoring twice against AS Monaco and Slovan Bratislava.

2. AC Milan Targets Massimiliano Allegri as New Head Coach
AC Milan is actively pursuing Massimiliano Allegri to replace current manager Sergio Conceição. Following a meeting in New York between club executives Gerry Cardinale and Giorgio Furlani, it was decided that Conceição’s tenure would end either at the season’s conclusion or sooner if results do not improve. Allegri, who is currently without a club after leaving Juventus, is seen as a stabilising figure capable of leading Milan back to success.

3. Raffaele Palladino Resigns from Monza
Raffaele Palladino has resigned from his position as head coach of Monza. The decision comes after a series of disappointing results left the club struggling in the lower half of Serie A. Palladino’s resignation marks the end of his tenure at the club, and Monza is now searching for a new manager to guide them through the remainder of the season.

4. Inter Milan Eyes Manchester United Strikers Hojlund and Zirkzee
Inter Milan is reportedly interested in acquiring Manchester United forwards Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee. Despite underwhelming performances at Old Trafford—Højlund scoring just four goals in 31 Premier League appearances and Zirkzee managing seven in 49 games—Inter sees potential in both players. Højlund had a successful stint at Atalanta before joining United, while Zirkzee’s tactical versatility is valued by Inter’s management.

5. Napoli Targets Kevin De Bruyne for Midfield Reinforcement
Napoli is reportedly in talks to sign Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who is currently a free agent after leaving Manchester City. The club views De Bruyne as a key addition to strengthen their midfield ahead of their return to the Champions League. The presence of former teammates Romelu Lukaku and Dries Mertens, along with the involvement of sporting director Giovanni Manna, are factors that could influence De Bruyne’s decision.
