Let’s take a look at the biggest stories of the morning.

Juve-Balde, competition getting stronger and stronger

Alejandro Balde is shaping up to be one of the hottest names of the next transfer window. Juventus remain interested in the Barcelona full-back, but the race for the player is becoming increasingly complicated.

According to TuttoJuve.com, Liverpool, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are currently ahead of the Bianconeri. Another Italian club is also said to be interested in Balde: Milan have reportedly set their sights on the Blaugrana wide man as well.

Milan-Adidas, talks increasingly advanced

Milan could return to wearing Adidas from the 2028/29 season. According to Footy Headlines, the German brand is preparing a major move in the Italian market, with the Rossoneri among its main targets.

As reported by MilanNews.it, contacts between the parties are already at an advanced stage, although no deal has been signed yet. The current agreement with Puma runs until 2028, while previous talks with Nike reportedly did not lead anywhere.

Inter, Chiesa remains a target for January

While waiting for the internationals to return, Inter continue working under Chivu after a positive start to the season. At the same time, the Nerazzurri hierarchy are already active in planning their next transfer moves.

According to LInterista.it, the club are looking for a forward who is strong in one-on-one situations and capable of creating numerical superiority. The main name remains Federico Chiesa and, given his situation at Liverpool, Inter could try to make a concrete move in January.

Napoli, Allegri prepares a change: three-man defense

Massimiliano Allegri could unveil a Napoli side with a new tactical look when the league resumes. During the break, the Azzurri coach is said to have worked on a three-man defense, moving away from the systems used so far.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Napoli could debut a 3-4-2-1 against Frosinone. It would mark a clear shift from the back four seen at the start of the season, with two attacking midfielders behind a lone striker.

Roma, Endrick could come back into fashion for January

Roma continue to work during the break to build on an excellent start to the season. At the same time, the club’s management remain active in the market with the aim of giving Gasperini an even more competitive squad.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, one of the names that could return to the spotlight is Endrick. The Brazilian is getting little playing time at Real Madrid and, for that very reason, he could open up to the possibility of a move in January.

Lazio, Cataldi and Rovella’s returns pushed back

Lazio still have to deal with the absences of Cataldi and Rovella, both facing longer recoveries than expected. The Biancocelesti midfield therefore remains in emergency mode, with Gattuso waiting to have the two players back at his disposal.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, as relayed by LaLazioSiamoNoi.it, Rovella is the closer of the two to a return and will try to be fit for Monza. Longer timelines, however, for Cataldi, who has been held back by a quadriceps setback and is now targeting a return against Juventus.

Fiorentina, eyes on Aranda: so much competition

Fiorentina continue to track Tomás Aranda, the Boca Juniors attacking midfielder born in 2007 who was already being monitored during the summer. The Argentine talent could return to the forefront in the next transfer windows, but the competition is particularly fierce.

According to Calciomercato.it, Inter and Como have also made enquiries, while several top European clubs have watched him live. Boca are relying on a $20 million release clause, while Aranda is currently sidelined with a fractured fibula.
