After the sixth day of Serie A, it's time for the international break with as many as 179 players from the top Italian league traveling around the world and engaged in matches valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
While waiting for Italy's double commitment under Gattuso, who will face Estonia and Israel, there are many important news items regarding the top clubs. Below are the main ones.
Jonathan David remains at the center of the Bianconeri project. Despite lackluster performances against Villarreal and Milan, with errors that sparked debate, Igor Tudor has decided to reaffirm his full confidence in him. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Croatian coach appreciates the Canadian's attitude and has no intention of fostering a continuous rotation among his forwards.
At Continassa, they are also working on a possible change of formation to facilitate coexistence with Vlahovic or Openda, but for now, David remains the designated starter. The idea is to provide continuity and certainty, avoiding new confusion in the offensive hierarchy.
The 0-0 draw against Juventus left mixed feelings at Milan. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Massimiliano Allegri praised the team's performance, highlighting the solidity shown at the Stadium, but at the same time, he called for more ruthlessness in front of the goal.
The same coach, speaking to Milan TV, stated: “The most positive thing is that the boys left the field angry for not being able to win. It's a good sign.” For Allegri, the right mentality is this: to think of every game as a final, without settling for a draw.
Tarik Muharemovic is one of the surprises of this season's start. The Sassuolo center-back, born in 2003, is experiencing exponential growth under Fabio Grosso's guidance. His performances have caught Inter's attention, which according to Tuttosport considers him an ideal profile for the future of the defense.
The Nerazzurri have already sent scouts to watch him live and are considering a move, aware that the boy has enormous potential. Meanwhile, Juventus is also watching with interest, still holding 50% of the player's resale rights, having grown in their Under 23. With a contract until 2030, the defender's valuation has already risen from 7 to 11 million euros.
Leonardo Spinazzola has returned to prominence. After a great performance against Genoa and a convincing start to the season, the winger has also regained a spot in the national team. Now, according to Corriere dello Sport, renewal talks with Napoli are underway.
The player has clearly expressed his desire to extend his relationship with the Azzurri. At 32, Spinazzola wants to contribute more, and the club is ready to consider the extension, given the performance that has made him a reliable starter for Conte.
Important days for Roma. The Friedkins have returned to the capital ahead of the ECA general assembly, but first, they have scheduled a visit to Trigoria. As La Gazzetta dello Sport writes, today they will meet with the management staff and tomorrow with Gasperini and the team.
Several topics are on the table: from compliments for the first place in the standings, to the Pietralata stadium project, to market strategies. About 90 million in capital gains need to be achieved by June, but compared to a year ago, the atmosphere is completely different: enthusiasm and confidence have replaced the tensions of the post-De Rossi era.
Boulaye Dia will not respond to Senegal's call. The Lazio forward, injured against Torino, will stay at Formello to recover his best condition. This is reported by Corriere dello Sport.
The coach has decided to call up Habib Diallo in his place. For Sarri, it's a significant absence, but the break becomes the right opportunity to allow Dia to recover physically and be available after the break.
Even at Fiorentina, there's attention to the injured players. Simon Sohm, dealing with the after-effects of plantar fasciitis, had to forgo the call-up with Switzerland for the World Cup qualifying matches against Sweden and Slovenia.
According to La Nazione, the midfielder remains in Florence to work on his recovery. At Viola Park, he has already started a differentiated program, and the goal is to be ready for the match against Milan after the break, avoiding the risk of relapses.
