It will be the penultimate appointment before the league returns. So the topics concerning Serie A’s top clubs are back in the spotlight. Below are the most important news stories involving the big teams.

🔍 Juve, so many names on Massara’s shortlist

Juventus are also looking at the market for players nearing the end of their contracts as they continue to strengthen Luciano Spalletti’s squad. According to Tuttosport, sporting director FredericMassara is monitoring eight players whose deals expire next June and who, from January onward, can be approached for a potential free transfer agreement.

The list includes experienced names and younger profiles: Stanislav Lobotka, Brahim Diaz, Oumar Solet, Mateo Kovacic, Lucas Beltran, David Raum, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Juventus will assess in the coming months which opportunities can realistically be pursued, with the aim of beating the competition in the market.

🤔 Milan, Pulisic: “Renewal? We’ll talk about it...”

Christian Pulisic spoke to Sky Sport from the Milan Store at San Siro, focusing above all on his relationship with Ruben Amorim and his future with the Rossoneri. 

“I have a good relationship with the coach. We’re all learning his system and how he wants to play. The last match was maybe one of our best team performances and we want to keep going like this.”

On his role he added: “He wants us to try certain positions especially when we have the ball. We need to understand what movements to make, then there is freedom but there are basic principles.”

The biggest issue, however, remains his renewal with Milan. Pulisic did not hide: “I’m very happy at Milan, the club is giving me everything and has helped me a lot in my career. We’ll talk about it soon, I hope. I feel really good and I hope to stay here in the future.”

🫣 Inter, Godts like Kvara! He had been offered but...

Mika Godts was offered to Inter before his move to Paris Saint-Germain, who invested around €55 million in the summer to sign him from Ajax. The Belgian also showed all his talent against Italy in the Nations League, but according to FcInterNews his profile was never really considered by the Nerazzurri, despite having been followed in the past.

The main obstacle was tactical: Godts performs best as an attacking winger and did not have the characteristics to fill the wing-back role required in the 3-5-2 first used by Inzaghi and then by Chivu. The only alternative would have been to use him closer to goal, but Inter never viewed the deal as a concrete possibility. It is a situation reminiscent of Kvaratskhelia, another talent linked with the Nerazzurri and then passed over for reasons related to his compatibility with the system of play.

😳 Napoli, HUGE demand from McTominay to renew

Napoli want to tie down Scott McTominay, but talks over a new deal are still far from being finalized. According to the Corriere dello Sport, the Scot’s entourage has asked for an extension until 2030, with wages of €8-9 million per season: a figure considered beyond the club’s parameters. Even so, both parties share the desire to continue together and will meet again in the coming weeks.

McTominay is in fact considered a key part of the Azzurri project, and the player is also happy at Napoli. His current contract expires in 2028, so the club still has room to find an agreement, but it will necessarily have to reduce the gap over the financial demands. In the meantime, the Scot is recovering after surgery for a benign heart arrhythmia and is awaiting medical clearance to return to Massimiliano Allegri’s disposal.

🔙 Roma, Endrick was so close! Then Mou...

Roma came close to signing Endrick during the last summer transfer window. According to AS, the Brazilian striker had received several offers to leave Real Madrid, but the Giallorossi proposal was particularly appreciated by the player. The deal had reached an advanced stage before José Mourinho stepped in: the former Roma coach is said to have contacted Endrick directly, convincing him to stay in Madrid and guaranteeing him greater opportunities during the season.

That decision, at least so far, has not brought the playing time he had hoped for. Endrick has had little space at Real, and his situation could become topical again as early as January. Roma are in fact still monitoring the Brazilian and could make another move if the Spanish club opens up to the possibility of a loan, turning him once again into a concrete target for the Giallorossi attack.

🗣️ Lazio, Frattesi’s agent: “He was unhappy at Inter”

The move to Lazio mainly came from Davide Frattesi’s need to feel like a key player again. His agent Beppe Riso explained it on Colpi da Maestro: “By playing so little he could no longer stay at Inter. I didn’t see him happy, he was sad and drained.”

So the choice of Lazio also came down to a personal matter, as well as a sporting one: Frattesi wanted to be central again and chose the Biancocelesti project despite other options. Riso underlined the role of Gennaro Gattuso, who reportedly wanted him strongly, and described the satisfaction he felt after the deal was completed: “After the transfer he video-called me and he had a smile like this. To see one of my clients with that smile, I’d pay out of my own pocket.”

💜 Fiorentina, Mastantuono has already settled in

Franco Mastantuono returned to the spotlight with Argentina, becoming part of the national team’s new cycle after the 4-0 win over Bolivia.

The 2007-born talent spoke about settling into Italy and his relationship with the head coach, who is giving him plenty of freedom on the pitch. “He gives me a lot of freedom to play and I thank him for that,” explained Mastantuono, who said he is very happy with his new life in Italy after moving from Real Madrid to Fiorentina. An experience that, besides allowing him to grow at the Viola club, could become the starting point for carving out an increasingly important role with Argentina.
