Tonight it’s the turn of the Europa and Conference League: Fiorentina and Bologna are aiming for the round of 16, buoyed by their first-leg results. Here, however, let’s take a look together at the most important news of the day.

Juve-Pinsoglio, renewal until 2027

Juventus also locks down Pinsoglio after having secured the priority extension for McKennie. According to reports from Romeo Agresti, Matteo Moretto, and Fabrizio Romano, the agreement is now finalized and the goalkeeper will sign until June 30, 2027.

The class of ’90, who returned to Turin in 2017 after his time in the youth sector between 2000 and 2010, will thus reach a symbolic milestone. With the new deal, he will reach ten seasons in the first team and twenty overall with the Bianconeri.

Milan, four at risk for the derby

On Sunday at 12:30, Milan will play away at Cremonese with four players one booking away from suspension. The team led by Massimiliano Allegri will have to be careful about yellow cards that could affect the next big match.

As highlighted by MilanNews.it, Zachary Athekame, Adrien Rabiot, Youssouf Fofana, and Alexis Saelemaekers risk suspension if booked against Davide Nicola’s side. Any yellow card would rule them out of the derby with Inter, scheduled for March 8 at 20:45.

Inter, is Oaktree preparing a big move?

After elimination from the Champions League against Bodo Glimt, Inter is also reflecting on future strategies. According to Tuttosport, the owners Oaktree Capital Management are considering a €40-50 million investment for a high-profile signing ahead of the summer.

However, to finance the operation, at least one sale may be necessary: Marcus Thuram (€50-60 million), Yann Bisseck (€30-35 million), and Denzel Dumfries (release clause of €25 million) are the hottest names. Davide Frattesi and Hakan Calhanoglu also remain in doubt, with Galatasaray ready to make another move for the Turkish playmaker.

Napoli, Lukaku set for more minutes in Verona

Romelu Lukaku’s condition is clearly improving and, according to Repubblica, the Belgian striker could carve out a bigger role for himself ahead of Verona-Napoli. After the injury suffered in mid-August and months of recovery, Big Rom has gradually returned to the pitch with part-time appearances.

As highlighted by the newspaper, the center forward can be a valuable alternative to increase Napoli’s attacking threat. If needed, his playing time at Bentegodi could extend up to half an hour, a sign of his now evident physical improvement.

Roma eyeing Joronen: battle with a Serie B club

Jesse Joronen, who has become a key player for Filippo Inzaghi’s Palermo, has attracted a lot of transfer interest. Renewing with the Rosanero remains a priority, but an agreement has not yet been reached and the suitors are increasing.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, in addition to Monza, Roma is also interested. The Giallorossi are reportedly considering the Finn as a possible backup goalkeeper for next season, a scenario that complicates Palermo’s plans and heats up the race for the class of ’93.

Lazio, Dia not at his best for Torino

Three days ahead of Torino-Lazio, Maurizio Sarri is considering several rotations ahead of the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Atalanta. In attack, Mattia Zaccagni may be rested, with Tijjani Noslin ready to start, while Daniel Maldini is being challenged by Milos Ratkov and Boulaye Dia. 

Dia himself remains the main question mark: the striker missed the last double training session due to a bout of flu. According to Il Messaggero, he may recover, but his presence against the Granata is still uncertain.

Fiorentina, Dzeko shock: “With Vanoli I understood everything”

Edin Dzeko, who moved from Fiorentina to Schalke 04 in January, told Bild the reasons for his departure. The decisive moment was the match in Parma: trailing in the score, coach Paolo Vanoli chose to bring on a defender, replacing Fabiano Parisi with Robin Gosens. For the Bosnian, this was a very clear signal.

After that match, Dzeko called his agent and started looking around. He was seeking excitement, a passionate stadium, and a project that could reignite him. His thoughts turned to Schalke: he messaged his friend Nikola Katic, got in touch with the club, and the deal took off within a few hours. From there, a new adventure in Germany began.
