These are some of the topics being discussed this morning. Let’s look at the most interesting ones.

🔙 Juventus, they liked Inacio! The backstory

Juventus had set their sights on Samuele Inacio, the 2008-born Borussia Dortmund talent, even going as far as asking the German club for information. Fabrizio Romano revealed it. The young striker, who came through at Atalanta, made the step up to the first team in the second half of last season and even scored his first Bundesliga goal against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Dortmund, however, decided to place a major bet on their gem, tying him down until June 30, 2029. The renewal came in May and effectively shut the door on any immediate departure: Inacio is considered by the German club to be one of the most promising youngsters in their project. Juventus, in search of young attacking profiles, therefore pursued a trail that did not lead to Turin, eventually choosing to focus on Ekhator.

✍️ Milan, renewal for Rabiot? Amorim says yes

Milan are starting again with Rabiot. His performances and central role in the project have convinced the club to think about extending his current deal, which expires in 2028: the goal would be to reach at least 2030, with Gerry Cardinale ready to personally handle the negotiations.

Having arrived from Marseille in 2025, Rabiot quickly earned a leading role in the Rossoneri side and is now considered one of the team’s leaders. The player himself has also reiterated that he is happy in Milan and has not considered leaving. Milan therefore want to turn this understanding into a new long-term contract, rewarding a player whom Amorim considers valuable in multiple positions and who, at 31, could spend the most important part of his career in the Rossoneri shirt.

🤔 Inter, are injuries holding back Calha’s renewal?

The future of Hakan Calhanoglu is still unwritten. The Turkish midfielder still has several years of football ahead of him, but his current contract with Inter expires on June 30, 2027 and, for now, renewal talks have not yet really begun. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, what could weigh most heavily on the club’s assessment is the injury issue: physical setbacks have affected the playmaker’s last few seasons quite frequently, including the current adductor problem in his right thigh that forced him to miss the matches against Udinese and Roma.

At the start of the season, the player himself explained that his future would depend on the club and that there had not yet been any contact over a renewal. Inter do not seem to be in any rush: the coming months will also serve to understand how much his physical consistency could affect the final decision.

😳 Napoli, there was already an agreement with Italiano!

Besiktas president Serdar Adali told A Spor the behind-the-scenes story of how Vincenzo Italiano ended up on the Turkish club’s bench. According to the Bianconeri president, during the first meeting the Italian coach’s agent revealed that an agreement had already been reached with Napoli.

However, when the deal with the Azzurri collapsed, Besiktas immediately accelerated in an attempt to convince Italiano. “We left for Italy right away and in two days we spoke and brought him here,” Adali said, before publicly thanking Aurelio De Laurentiis for having indirectly facilitated the move.

🎯 Roma, youth focus! But in January...

After Mora and Castro, Roma continue to closely monitor the league’s young talents. In the Giallorossi’s sights are Kévin Bakola, a French midfielder born in 2008 who plays for Sassuolo and is also being followed by Juventus, and Giorgi Kvernadze, a Georgian winger from Frosinone. The former represents an investment for the future: the capital club are considering the possibility of securing him in the coming months ahead of next season.

It is a different story for Kvernadze, for whom Roma could move as early as January. As reported by Forza Roma.info, the Georgian would have characteristics particularly suited to Gian Piero Gasperini’s demands, especially in the left-wing role. However, there is also interest in the player from Napoli, who are ready to compete for the Frosinone talent.

⌛️ Lazio, now Pinamonti must step up

The long break comes at the right time for Andrea Pinamonti, who is being called on to raise his level after a difficult start with Lazio. The striker has managed just 108 minutes in four appearances, without scoring, and will now have three weeks to work on his physical condition and fit better into Gennaro Gattuso’s system. The former Sassuolo man also paid the price for a summer preparation affected by his transfer, arriving at Formello without having reached ideal match fitness.

Up front, however, competition from Tijjani Noslin is real: the Dutchman has found space and goals in recent outings, offering different qualities to the department. Gattuso has therefore not established a rigid hierarchy and will decide from time to time based on the needs of the match. For Pinamonti, the break is therefore a chance to regain sharpness and once again put himself forward for a leading role, with the match against Monza on October 11 as the first opportunity to assess his progress.

😣 Fiorentina, Parisi’s timeline gets longer!

Fabiano Parisi will have to wait a little longer before returning to the pitch. The Fiorentina full-back was injured last May 17 during the match against Juventus, suffering a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and subsequently undergoing surgery. Initial forecasts indicated a possible return in the autumn, but the recovery timeline has gradually grown longer.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Viola club has in fact chosen the utmost caution, and Parisi may only be available again in January 2027. The wide player, born in 2000, is continuing his rehabilitation process at Viola Park, and the medical staff do not want to rush his recovery, so that he can return without being forced.
