AC Milan

AC Milan have been dealt a blow in their attempts to land Paris Saint-Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi, with reports claiming that their bid has been rejected.

In the long-running transfer saga concerning Mario Balotelli, reports from the Italian press have claimed that the Rossoneri are interested in swapping the striker for Arsenal's Joel Campbell.

Rumours of Giacomo Bonaventura leaving the club have continued throughout the summer and recent reports have linked Queens Park Rangers with the midfielder. The Premier League side will face tough competition for his signature, with the likes of Inter Milan, Fiorentina and Werder Bremen all said to be interested.

Cagliari

The constant speculation surrounding Davide Astori has finally come to an end this week, with the defender joining Roma on a season-long loan. He is not the only player to have left the club, as Nene has joined Hellas Verona following the expiration of his contract.
