As usual, here are the morning’s main headlines.
Juventus eye Bayern goalkeeper
Juventus are finalizing their plans for the goalkeeper position in the years ahead, with Lorenzo Palmisani the leading candidate, but not the only one. According to calciomercato.com, they are also very keen on Bayern Munich’s Leonard Prescott, born in 2009.
His contract expires in 2027, and Juventus could repeat a familiar approach by bringing him to Turin on a free transfer.
Milan, three urgent contract renewals
Milan are working on several fronts, with contract renewals dominating discussions at the club.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Pulisic, Pavlovic and Rabiot all need to be tied down. The American’s contract expires in 2027, with a unilateral option to extend it to 2028, but the hope is to reach an agreement. For Pavlovic and Rabiot, meanwhile, renewals would improve their terms and ward off interest from other clubs.
Inter, managing Lautaro
The same question comes up whenever the international break ends: will Lautaro Martinez play or not?
The Bull returned very late from Argentina and is not expected to play against Parma. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, he will push to feature, but Chivu is likely to choose Pio or Bonny alongside Thuram.
Napoli, Anguissa puzzle: return date uncertain
A real puzzle: Zambo Anguissa has been sidelined again, and his return date remains a mystery.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the issue appeared likely to be resolved during the break, but after three weeks the midfielder has still not rejoined team training and will miss the Frosinone match. It now remains to be seen when he will return.
Roma keen on Kvernadze: a price emerges
Roma have been wowed by Giorgi Kvernadze, the talented Frosinone player who has made a blistering start to this Serie A campaign with his dribbling, assists and goals.
He could be the missing investment needed to complete Roma’s attack, and, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, they intend to spend €25 million.
Lazio, Gattuso’s selection doubts
Lazio are preparing to face Monza, and Gattuso has some decisions to make in defense.
According to lalaziosiamonoi.it, Doekhi and Diogo Leite formed a strong partnership during the break, but the returning Sutalo and Provstgaard, who started the most recent matches, are pushing for places. The choice is up to Lazio’s coach.
Fiorentina, Atta a doubt! The latest
There are concerns at Fiorentina over Atta’s fitness: the Viola midfielder is not at his best and could miss the clash with Genoa.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, there are two options: bringing in either Oulai or Brescianini.
