Tomorrow marks the start of the Italian Super Cup, with two high-level clashes. However, Serie A doesn't stop: we are in for five intense days of great football.
Let's take a look at the most important news regarding the top teams in our league.
According to the Gazzetta, Luciano Spalletti's Juventus is ready to intervene in the midfield during the winter market to not compromise the Champions League race. The top name on the list remains Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Marseille, a profile of experience and leadership that is highly appreciated by the management and the coach. The main obstacle is the position of the French club, with De Zerbi reluctant to let him go.

For this reason, Juve is considering alternatives and cost-effective opportunities, preferably on loan. Among these is Xaver Schlager from Leipzig, followed for the summer on a free transfer but potentially obtainable in January with a fee. Attention is also on the goal: Genoa is pushing for Mattia Perin, and in case of departure, Spalletti will need to find a reliable deputy for Di Gregorio.
On the eve of the match against Napoli, Mike Maignan spoke at a press conference highlighting the atmosphere in the locker room. The goalkeeper emphasized how, compared to last season, the group has grown further: Allegri has brought serenity, and today the team feels like a real family, focused only on the present and the next goal.

Maignan then brushed off questions about his future, explaining that he is not distracted by rumors. The priority remains daily work and the upcoming match, without being influenced by the context or the stadium. The goal, he reiterated, is to stay focused on the coach's instructions and give the best on the field.
Inter's winter market is heating up, and one of the names highlighted is Rafik Belghali. The right winger from Hellas Verona, born in 2002, according to TMW has attracted the attention of the Nerazzurri thanks to consistently improving performances, showcasing his athleticism and technical quality. The Milanese club considers the profile as a possible young and functional reinforcement for the flanks.

Juventus is also tracking the Algerian winger, but Inter does not intend to stand by. The Nerazzurri can play the card of good relations with Verona and the approval of Cristian Chivu, who appreciates dynamic and promising profiles. The feeling is that the challenge has just begun, with Belghali increasingly close to making a leap to a top club.
Napoli is closely monitoring the January market, with a particular focus on the midfield. The priority is to identify a reinforcement capable of increasing quality and depth in the midfield, taking advantage of any opportunities under favorable conditions.

In recent hours, the name of Quinten Timber, a midfielder born in 2001 whose contract with Feyenoord is expiring, has emerged. His agent has proposed him to several European clubs, including Napoli, which is ready to evaluate the profile for a possible move.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Boca Juniors continues to dream of Paulo Dybala as a major signing for 2026, but at the moment there are no concrete contacts for a transfer as early as January. The idea fascinates the Argentine environment but remains a long-term suggestion.

The priority for the forward is clear: to stay at Roma for the entire current season. Only later, looking towards the summer of 2026 and with the contract expiring, will Dybala evaluate his future without haste.
The present of Nuno Tavares remains tied to Lazio, despite the calls from Arabia. The Portuguese is not experiencing his best moment, but against Cremonese, he could be useful to Sarri even in a different tactical solution, with a possible switch to 4-4-2 and Tavares advanced on the left wing.

The future, however, seems directed away from Rome. According to Il Messaggero, Lazio is ready to listen to offers starting from 15 million euros, taking into account the percentage to be recognized to Arsenal. Contacts with Arab clubs continue, and some off-field signals strengthen the hypothesis of an increasingly likely departure.
The future of Edin Dzeko at Fiorentina could be in question as early as January. According to Nicolò Schira, a possible departure of the Bosnian striker during the winter transfer window cannot be ruled out.

It would be a surprising scenario, especially in light of recent weeks, in which Dzeko has tried to lead the team by taking on responsibilities both on and off the field. This rumor raises questions about the continuation of his relationship with the Viola club.
