Below are the most important news items regarding the top clubs that have emerged on this Saturday, December 20th.

Juventus, excellent relations between Elkann and PIF

As reported by Calcio e Finanza, there are rumors of possible Saudi interest in Juventus. Envoys have suggested a valuation of the club around 2 billion euros, almost double what was offered by Tether.

Strengthening this scenario are the direct relations between John Elkann and the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Furthermore, Elkann is involved in negotiations for the sale of Gedi to the Greek businessman Theodore Kyriakou, an entrepreneur linked to bin Salman himself, with the PIF fund having already invested in his corporate group in the past.

Milan, why Thiago Silva didn’t arrive

Thiago Silva is now a new Porto player, so his return to the Rossoneri has faded. Journalist Orazio Accomando explains why: "The refusal of the deal was a decision by the Rossoneri management. Allegri was fully open to it and the Brazilian defender was also in favor of a possible return."

Moreover, there was no agreement on the contract duration according to Daniele Longo: Milan offered 6 months while the defender was seeking a one-year contract with an option for extension, which is indeed what happened with Porto.

Inter, here’s why Zielinski came off before penalties

After being eliminated in the Supercoppa against Bologna, there was much discussion about Inter coach Cristian Chivu’s choices regarding the substitutions in the final minutes.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, behind the substitution of Piotr Zielinski, who is a designated penalty taker, there was a physical reason. The Polish midfielder had cramps in his flexors.

Napoli, Lucca more likely to go abroad

As reported by Matteo Moretto, Lorenzo Lucca could leave in January and Napoli would prefer to send him abroad: "Both Dovbyk and Lucca are two players who could change teams in January. Both have more offers from abroad than from Italy. Napoli wants to send him abroad rather than to Serie A teams.

"For a paid loan, the player will first have to be redeemed from Udinese. In any case, nothing is ruled out regarding their future. Both, I repeat, will be two names to keep an eye on for the January transfer market. In the Premier League, for example, West Ham is looking for strikers, we’ll see."

Roma, eyes on Disasi for defense

According to Tuttomercatoweb.com, Roma has identified a new profile to complete the defensive department in January.

It is Axel Disasi, a defender owned by Chelsea who has found himself on the fringes of Enzo Maresca’s technical project. Juventus and Milan have also previously inquired about him.

Lazio, the attacking numbers are HORROR

As highlighted by Il Messaggero, one of Lazio’s major problems this season is the offensive contribution from the forwards.

The only two players with 3 goals are Mattia Zaccagni and Matteo Cancellieri, and it’s been since the 1984/85 season that such a low figure has been recorded after 15 Serie A matchdays.

Fiorentina, all-in on Paratici

Fiorentina has made a huge offer to Fabio Paratici: a 5-year contract as head of the technical area. This is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport and Matteo Moretto

The answer could come even during the weekend according to La Rosea, or in any case soon according to Sky Sport.
