Juve, hijack on Napoli! Move for Anguissa

With contract renewal talks seemingly having definitively stalled, Napoli may be forced to consider selling Frank Zambo Anguissa as early as the next summer window, to avoid the risk of losing him on a free in 2027.

As reported by Tuttosport, Juventus have started tracking the Cameroonian midfielder, viewing him as a possible addition to Luciano Spalletti’s midfield. The 1995-born player is still just one of several profiles being followed by the Bianconeri management, a list that also includes Franck Kessié, Leon Goretzka, Xaver Schlager, Assan Ouedraogo and Ismaël Koné.

Milan, Füllkrug’s future decided!

It now seems almost certain that Milan will not exercise their option to buy Niclas Füllkrug, the striker who arrived in January from West Ham on loan with a €5 million purchase option. At the end of the season, the player will therefore return to the London club, although his future does not appear to lie in the Premier League.

As reported by Sky Sport DE journalist Florian Plettenberg, Wolfsburg are already considering a possible summer move for the German centre-forward. His contract with West Ham would remain valid even in the event of relegation, albeit with a 50% salary reduction.

Inter, from Spain: "Bastoni will force the issue!"

The future of Alessandro Bastoni is still very much unwritten. As is now well known, the defender has long been on Barcelona’s radar, with the Spanish club weighing up a possible move next season. Inter’s stance, however, remains clear: the Nerazzurri have no intention of easily parting with one of the pillars of Chivu’s team. The player would be willing to listen to any offers, but without going so far as to force an exit from Milan. Much will therefore depend on the financial offer that may eventually land on Inter’s table.

According to Mundo Deportivo, however, the situation may be further advanced: Bastoni is said to be thrilled by the idea of joining Barcelona and willing to help facilitate the deal. Contacts between his entourage and the blaugrana club are reportedly already underway, with the defender determined to push for a reduction in his transfer fee once the green light arrives from Deco and Flick.

Napoli, Lukaku’s physio: "He was fed up!"

The showdown between Romelu Lukaku and Napoli is getting closer. The striker is expected at Castel Volturno on Monday, where he will also be informed of possible sanctions following the incidents of recent weeks and his unauthorized stay in his home country.

Meanwhile, Big Rom’s physiotherapist, Lieven Maesschalck, spoke from Belgium and reassured everyone about the striker’s condition:

“Everything is going according to plan: Romelu is almost ready. He has worked intensely over the last 14 days, on average 4 hours a day, mainly on his physical condition. He was fed up with the situation that had developed and wanted to get back to 100%”.

Roma, Ranieri at the stadium today

The Olimpico is getting ready to welcome Claudio Ranieri, who is expected in the stands for tonight’s match. The Giallorossi coach will follow the game from the stands, where he will sit next to Frederic Massara, in what is a routine executive presence within the club.

It remains to be seen whether he will also speak to the microphones, after the chaos of the last few days.

Lazio, Fabiani: "Taty wasn’t replaced? That’s not true"

Before the match against Napoli, Lazio sporting director Angelo Fabiani spoke to DAZN.

"The match against Napoli is important, regardless of the Coppa Italia, which we’ll only think about afterward. It’s true that the one against Atalanta will be the crossroads of a troubled season, marked by 45 injuries.

We have missed strong players and dropped points along the way. This is year zero for us, we have to rebuild by moving from the old to the new and lowering the average age. We are building the framework.

Castellanos not adequately replaced? Sarri prefers someone like Maldini and has given him space."

Fiorentina, three names for the bench!

The new coach and the future of Moise Kean are the two remaining missing pieces in the building of Fiorentina for next season. According to La Nazione, sporting director Paratici will be called upon to make key decisions immediately after the match against Lecce, when survival should by then be virtually secured.

The choice of coach will be the first priority, with several profiles on the table: from Fabio Grosso, who would first have to free himself from Sassuolo, to Maurizio Sarri, an option that remains in the background amid openings and second thoughts. Francesco Farioli is also among the candidates, having already been linked with Fiorentina in the past, a young profile considered ideal for a modern and ambitious project.
