12:20 CET – Post derby reaction

As a bit of a break from the transfer activity, it is worth reading the comments from Marcus Thuram and Simone Inzaghi after last night’s game, with both believing Inter were robbed of a penalty.

11:40 CET – Marseille at it again

Remember when Marseille came in for Ismael Bennacer on deadline day in the summer? Well, they have done it again. Several journalists are claiming they want a loan with option to buy deal, which could make the midfield links mentioned below gather some steam.

11:20 CET – Midfield moves

Milan are being linked with a number of different midfield options as potential late purchases, such as Gedson Fernandes of Besiktas and Bryan Cristante of Roma. Warren Bondo (Monza) and Nicolo Fagioli (Juventus) are also linked.

11:00 CET – More Okafor interest

It seems the buzz is all about the Swiss forward today, and Alfredo Pedulla (via MilanNews) reports that Atalanta are keen on him after receiving word of Gianluca Scamacca’s injury.

10:30 CET – Okafor on his way?

Matteo Moretto is reporting that Napoli have come in with a last-minute move for Noah Okafor. The player’s will is going to be crucial as he has already rejected several opportunities recently.

10:10 CET – Felix twist

According to the latest from Sky, Joao Felix was actually at the game between Milan and Inter last night, while his entourage and Chelsea continue to negotiate a loan move with the Rossoneri.

09:45 CET – Pavlovic attracting interest

Strahinja Pavlovic was impressive again for Milan during the derby against Inter last night, and The Sun (via MilanNews) believe that Crystal Palace have an offer of €30m ready for the Serbian.

09:20 CET – Late Joao Felix move?

One of the interesting things that Gianluca Di Marzio said after the derby draw with Inter last night was that a deadline day move for Joao Felix is something Milan are looking to do.

“It’s not over, tomorrow there could be new contacts because he’s pushing to wear the Rossoneri shirt. He wants to be trained by Conceicao and play with Leao, but in the Premier League other teams would offer more money to Chelsea. Tomorrow new news, but it’s not over here,” he said.
