Serie A Transfer Window: Major Moves and Developing Stories on January 13, 2026
The Italian football transfer market witnessed a flurry of activity on January 13, 2026, with several high-profile deals confirmed and others nearing completion. The day was dominated by the transfer of Giacomo Raspadori to Atalanta and the arrival of Robinio Vaz and Donyell Malen in Rome.
Raspadori Joins Atalanta in a €23 Million Deal
Giacomo Raspadori has officially joined Atalanta from Atletico Madrid in a definitive transfer valued at approximately €23 million (€22 million plus €1 million in bonuses). The forward is scheduled for medical examinations and contract signing on Wednesday. Raspadori will sign a contract until 2031 with an annual salary of around €4 million. This move comes after Roma’s failed attempt to secure the player, with former coach Claudio Ranieri stating that Raspadori “never wanted to speak directly with us.”
Roma Strengthens Attack with Robinio Vaz and Donyell Malen
Despite missing out on Raspadori, AS Roma quickly moved to bolster their attacking options. Robinio Vaz, a 2007-born Brazilian forward from Olympique Marseille, arrived in Rome. He joins on a paid loan with an obligation to buy for a total operation of about €25 million. Vaz, who previously earned €100,000 annually at Marseille, is expected to see his salary significantly increase to at least €1.5 million per season at Roma. He will undergo medicals and sign his contract on Wednesday.
Additionally, Roma is finalizing a deal for Dutch international Donyell Malen from Aston Villa. The agreement is a paid loan of €2 million with an obligation to buy for €23-24 million, contingent on Champions League qualification and 50% appearance rate. Malen has scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists this season, offering an immediate boost to Roma’s offensive capabilities.
Gatti on the Brink of Juventus Exit, Milan Interested
Federico Gatti is reportedly on the transfer list at Juventus, with coach Luciano Spalletti giving the green light for his departure if a suitable offer is made. The defender, who is recovering from an injury and faces increased competition with Bremer’s return, is attracting interest from Premier League clubs. However, AC Milan is also considering a move, though no official contact has been made yet. Allegri is reportedly keen on adding a quality defensive reinforcement.
Inter’s Frattesi Attracts Juventus and Turkish Giants
Davide Frattesi’s departure from Inter Milan appears increasingly likely. Inter has set a price of €30 million and prefers an international buyer, with Turkish clubs showing strong interest. However, Juventus has re-entered the race, despite Inter’s initial reluctance to strengthen a direct rival. Juventus is reportedly in contact with Frattesi’s agent, Beppe Riso, and might make a late push for a paid loan with an option to buy.
Other Notable Transfer Rumors and Developments:
- Ademola Lookman (Atalanta): Following Raspadori’s arrival, Lookman is back on the market. Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are leading the chase, with Fenerbahçe reportedly offering €40 million for the player (€5 million loan, €37 million obligation to buy) and a €9 million annual salary for Lookman.
- Tommaso Baldanzi (Roma): Baldanzi is set to leave Roma, with Genoa, led by Daniele De Rossi, showing strong interest. Fiorentina also pursued him earlier but the trail has cooled.
- Radu Dragusin (Tottenham): Roma’s pursuit of Dragusin faces a challenge from RB Leipzig, who are prepared to make a definitive purchase offer, more attractive than Roma’s proposed loan with option to buy.
- Niclas Füllkrug (Milan): A serious toe injury to new Milan signing Niclas Füllkrug has forced the club to reconsider its transfer strategy, immediately halting the potential sale of Nkunku.
- Leon Goretzka (Bayern Munich): AC Milan is reportedly interested in signing Leon Goretzka from Bayern Munich, potentially ahead of the summer transfer window.
- Joao Gomes (Wolverhampton): Napoli is planning for the summer, targeting Joao Gomes from Wolverhampton.
- Lazio Transfers: Lazio is not willing to overspend on Toth and is looking elsewhere. Matteo Cancellieri is a target for Brentford, who offered €11 million plus €4 million in bonuses, but Lazio is holding out for €18 million. Gustav Isaksen is also available for €20 million. Lazio has also loaned Tavares to Besiktas and is reportedly close to signing Rayan from Vasco da Gama as Cancellieri’s replacement.
- Jack Harrison (Leeds): Fiorentina is reportedly close to signing Jack Harrison from Leeds.
- Cristiano Giuntoli: The former Juventus sporting director is being linked with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
The January transfer window continues to be a dynamic period for Serie A clubs, with teams actively seeking to strengthen their squads for the remainder of the season.
