Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and renowned journalist Mateo Moretto appeared together in a video to provide updates on Milan.

Here are the Milan-related updates from the video:

Romano: "Yes, Serie A has resumed, and in the coming days, what happens on the pitch will give us many answers. Speaking about the pitch, everyone should pay attention. Let me start by discussing changes in defensive positioning. I'm talking about defenders first because often, the formation on the pitch is a weathervane for the transfer market."

"For example, Tiago Gabriel was on the bench in Lecce's match today. The coming week will be crucial for Tiago Gabriel, and we need to monitor what happens in these final days. He's been one of the most discussed and reported players recently. Previously, the media focused on Bournemouth, but according to our information, Lecce's sporting director Stefano Trinchera has not received an official offer for this defender."

"There's lots of speculation and gossip surrounding this defender, who is represented by renowned super-agent Jorge Mendes. We'll continue monitoring what transfer activity happens next around him—whether he stays in the Italian domestic market or moves abroad. In short, he's another player requiring close attention. We'd like to see if today's substitution was related to transfer negotiations, but there's no doubt this is the most direct market news coming straight from the pitch."

"Mateo, on the other hand, there's been very interesting news from abroad. For example, all the talk about Gonçalo Inácio over the past couple of days. Today, mainstream media in many countries—Italy, Portugal, Spain—have been wildly reporting that Gonçalo will join Barcelona."

"The reason such rumors emerged is that yesterday he was not in Sporting's starting lineup, which immediately triggered transfer alerts among major outlets and directly linked him to Barcelona. We've both verified this rumor thoroughly and in detail, and according to our sources, Barcelona is not currently pursuing him at all. That's not happening. Right, Mateo?"

Moretto: "That's right, Fabri. Gonçalo Inácio is not a Barcelona target at all. At least not in this transfer window—he's not a priority signing for Barcelona. Barcelona's management is currently looking for players with different characteristics and positions. Based on what I have, with only 7-8 days left in the transfer window, there's absolutely no way he goes to Barcelona. So we can give a clear answer on this: Gonçalo Inácio will not be going to Barcelona."

"At the same time, from what I understand, he's not even currently a hot target for Milan. Simply put: all of Milan's energy and focus right now is entirely on finding an attacking midfielder—one with left-foot control and organizing ability. Milan's management is comprehensively evaluating the transfer market to see if they can find suitable candidates with similar tactical characteristics. So Milan's priority right now is clearly the attack, not defense."

"We'll monitor whether the situation adjusts or changes in the coming days, but as of today, we haven't received any information that Gonçalo Inácio could re-enter the Rossoneri's radar. What's undeniable is that back in June when the summer transfer window just opened, his name was indeed mentioned. At that time, his agent Miguel Pinho, who works with his former coach Amorim, submitted and shared his information with the Rossoneri management."

"But since then, things have changed with Mario Gila's arrival. Although Mario Gila and Inácio are two defenders with completely different characteristics and preferred feet—one is right-footed, the other left-footed—as you just said, Fabri, Milan has shifted focus entirely to different deals, particularly player sales and exits."

Romano: "Exactly right. Because regarding Christopher Nkunku's future, friends, we could hear a final decision anytime. Let me confirm again: Leipzig has reached a comprehensive personal agreement with Nkunku, and Nkunku himself has shown a very strong desire to return to Leipzig. Milan's management also clearly understood Nkunku's stance around lunchtime."

"But we should note that Newcastle United is still persistently competing. According to the information I have, Newcastle United is willing to include a mandatory buyout clause in their offer. Compared to Leipzig's plan of a paid loan with a purchase option, Newcastle United is attempting a last-minute hijack, offering a mandatory buyout that would be triggered if certain conditions are met."

"Of course, this isn't a 100% unconditional mandatory buyout clause, but rather one that becomes mandatory only after specific conditions are fulfilled. In such a case, for Milan, which wants to move Nkunku on, this would certainly be a perfect solution. But in any case, Newcastle United is doing its best in this direction."

"However, we must continue monitoring the situation's development, because Nkunku is still pushing very strongly to go to Leipzig right now. Leipzig is the only destination he truly desires. As we've said, Leipzig is completely prepared and desperately hopes to arrange his medical in the next 24 to 48 hours."
