Yesterday's Serie A transfer roundup discussed the confirmed departure of Patrick Cutrone from AC Milan as well as the latter's talks for Angel Correa, and Napoli's prepared bid for Wilfried Zaha. Today's editions focuses on Inter's interest in Duvan Zapata, the Rossoneri's capture of Rafael Leao and Joao Cancelo's potential switch to Manchester City.

Inter eye Zupata

Report: According to FCInterNews, Internazionale are turning their attention to Atalanta's Duvan Zapata and away from Romelu Lukaku. La Dea reportedly value the striker at €60m (£54.9m) but may be willing to negotiate if an offer is made.

Verdict: Zapata has been a solid Serie A striker for several years, but was never able to score more than 11 goals in a league season during his time in Italy. All of that changed last term, however. The Colombia international ended the campaign on 23 strikes, which was only bettered by Fabio Quagliarella, as Atalanta qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history. No wonder, then, that a giant like Inter, who will also play in Europe's premier club competition next season, are interested. Mauro Icardi has no future at the San Siro and, as such, Antonio Conte needs top quality to replace him. The 28-year-old former Sampdoria striker might just be that man.

How likely is the deal: 6.5/10

Milan confirm Leao capture

Report: AC Milan have confirmed the signing of Rafael Leao from Lille. The 20-year-old will sign a five-year deal with the club, with Milan paying a reported fee of up to €30m (£27.5m) for his signature.

Verdict: Following the departure of Cutrone, another striker was needed at the San Siro, and Rafael Leao has been chosen as that man. The Brazilian did well in Ligue 1 last season, scoring eight goals in 16 starts as Lille qualified for the Champions League. For the French club, it is another blow following the exit of Nicolas Pepe, who has joined Arsenal. So far during this transfer window, they have made £135m. With about a month left before the transfer window closes in France, they have plenty of time to replace that loss of talent.

How likely is the deal? Completed

Cancelo close to City

Report: As per Italian outlet Tuttosport, Joao Cancelo is close to sealing a move to Manchester City this summer, and should even be confirmed as a Citizens player in the next few days. It is said that the Premier League club will pay between €30m (£27.5m) and €35m (£32.1m) for the Portugal international, with Danilo going in the opposite direction.

Verdict: There has been a lot of speculation in regards to this deal over the summer, but this indicates a breakthrough has been made. The 25-year-old only joined Juventus last year but didn't look to have Massimiliano Allegri's full confidence and only started 22 Serie A matches out of a possible 38. Pep Guardiola currently has Kyle Walker as his first-choice right-back with Danilo in reserve, so the former Barcelona boss will be hoping that the former Valencia man will be able to provide stronger competition for the England international. If the deal is completed, Cancelo will become City's third major signing of the transfer window after Rodri and Angelino.

How likely is the deal? 8/10
