Zeki Celik officially enters the transfer market hot spot.
The Turkish full-back, whose contract with Roma is expiring, is already free to reach an agreement with another club for next season, and a renewal remains a distant prospect for now.
A three-year deal worth €2.8 million per season was put on the table at Trigoria, but the player declined, fueling increasingly concrete scenarios ahead of the summer, reports Tuttosport.
Serie A’s top clubs have caught wind of the deal.
Juventus has been monitoring the situation for some time, but Inter have also made decisive moves in recent weeks.
As Tuttosport reports, the Nerazzurri are planning a revamp on the flanks: Darmian’s departure at the end of the season is now expected, while Dumfries’ future remains up in the air. The Dutchman is pushing for the Premier League, with Liverpool and Chelsea interested, and a €25 million clause ready to be activated in July.
In addition to Inter and Juventus, Liverpool also remain interested in Celik, confirming his reputation as a player who continues to be appreciated even outside Italy. For now, there’s no definitive decision, but one thing is certain: without a change of heart on his contract renewal, Celik is destined to become one of the most sought-after names in the upcoming summer transfer window. And on a free transfer, the competition is only set to increase.
