Here are the most important news stories of the day concerning the top clubs in the Italian league.

Juventus, Khephren Thuram says no to PSG and Saudi Arabia

Midfielder Khephren Thuram was one of the protagonists of Juventus’ recent summer transfer window. As highlighted by Tuttosport, the 2001-born player has not made any financial or renewal demands, a sign of his commitment to the Bianconeri project. Already in June, the Saudi Pro League had presented an offer between €40 and €50 million to the club and a four-year contract with a salary four times higher than the €2 million per year the player currently earns until 2029.

Despite the extravagant offer, Thuram asked his agent to immediately cut off all contact with Saudi Arabia. In addition to the Saudi league, Paris Saint Germain also showed interest after the Club World Cup, considering him a potential replacement for Fabián Ruiz. However, the Frenchman reiterated his desire to stay in Turin, confirming his peace with the decision and thus distancing himself from any Parisian scenario.

Milan, Moreira idea

Arriving at Chelsea in 2023 on a free transfer from Benfica, Diego Moreira left London after just one year, moving to Strasbourg for €8.5 million, a club that shares the same ownership as the Blues. In France, the 2004-born left winger has shown flashes of his talent, finishing last Ligue 1 season with 2 goals and 7 assists. Not exceptional numbers, but enough to attract the interest of several European clubs, ready to monitor his development.

According to Matteo Moretto, Atalanta also inquired about the player in the summer, though without starting official negotiations with Strasbourg. Milan is also keeping an eye on him, considering Moreira an interesting profile to strengthen their attacking flanks for the future. For now, the Portuguese remains in France, but his name is already on the agenda of several Serie A clubs.

Inter, behind the scenes on Calha to Galatasaray

Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk, interviewed by New Sport, spoke about the failed negotiations for Hakan Calhanoglu.

"Hakan was a player we really wanted. He is a big Galatasaray fan. He made a big statement about making a big sacrifice in the future. We made another attempt last week, but Inter said they were not willing to sell him.

If Inter had let him go, we would have had to spend €40-45 million. He is a very important player. That’s why the deal was difficult for us."

Napoli, recovery times for Lukaku and Neres

Today’s edition of Il Mattino provides updates on the conditions of Napoli forwards Romelu Lukaku and David Neres. Both are sidelined with injuries of very different types and severity.

The Brazilian has not yet recovered from the muscle problems that kept him out against Cagliari and, to avoid relapses, will also be rested as a precaution for the match against Fiorentina. Big Rom, on the other hand, will soon undergo some rehabilitation sessions in Naples as an intermediate step in his recovery process in Belgium. His return is not expected before December.

Roma, the goal is to recover Dovbyk

Artem Dovbyk’s summer at Roma was marked by the label of a possible departure, but the Ukrainian striker has remained available to his team. In the league, he has played just 35 minutes between Bologna and Pisa, with Gian Piero Gasperini currently preferring Ferguson as a starter.

The coach, however, is aware of the striker’s value and has emphasized the desire to “recover Dovbyk” after the transfer window closed, as reiterated by Il Messaggero. Despite summer attempts to sign a different striker, from Fabio Silva to Gimenez, the Ukrainian remains an important asset. With a significant cost and a long season ahead between Serie A and the Europa League, the coach knows he must make the most of his number 9’s presence.

Lazio, here’s how Zaccagni is doing

Gennaro Gattuso’s Italy trained this morning at Coverciano ahead of the match against Israel. The Azzurri played a friendly test against Empoli’s Primavera team, with all 26 players called up by the coach participating. The only absentee was Mattia Zaccagni, sidelined by the after-effects of a blow suffered in the match against Estonia.

The Lazio winger did not take part in the session on the field, limiting himself to separate work in the gym. His condition does not seem to be of particular concern, but the National Team’s medical staff will continue to monitor him. The hope is that Zaccagni can recover soon to be available for the next matches.

Fiorentina, Martinelli called up for U21

Fiorentina goalkeeper Tommaso Martinelli, born in 2006, has received his first call-up with Italy’s Under 21 team. The call came following Diego Mascardi’s withdrawal from the squad for personal reasons. Martinelli will join the Azzurri group ahead of the trip to North Macedonia, where on Tuesday the 9th they will play in Bitola at 18:15, live on Rai 2.

For the young Viola goalkeeper, this is an important step in his growth, after recent experiences with Italy’s Under 19. The call-up confirms the Federation’s faith in his potential and represents recognition for the work done with Fiorentina. It’s an opportunity that will allow Martinelli to showcase himself internationally and consolidate his position in the Azzurri youth teams.
