Juventus, McKennie leaving for free?

The American midfielder, born in 1998, is out of contract with Juventus in June and - according to La Gazzetta dello Sport - there don't seem to be any concrete steps towards a renewal at the moment.

Already in the spring, the parties showed differences over the figures, and today the relations appear further complicated: for McKennie, the probability of a separation from Turin increases.

Milan, the results of Saelemaekers' tests

The injury to the flexor of Alexis Saelemaekers' right leg is confirmed. This morning, the Belgian underwent instrumental tests after the injury sustained during Saturday's national team match.

As reported by MilanNews, Saelemaekers will miss the match against Fiorentina on Sunday, October 19 at San Siro, and will undergo new tests in a week to monitor the evolution of the injury.

Inter, Thuram targets Napoli

The French forward is continuing his work to overcome the discomfort that stopped him before the break and will also keep him out against Roma. As reported by Tuttosport, today he will be at Pinetina to continue therapies.

His return to the group is expected between the weekend and the beginning of next week, too soon for the Union Saint-Gilloise on October 21. The goal remains clear: to be ready for the big match against Napoli.

Napoli, Politano's quick recovery? Good morning...

Matteo Politano could speed up the process: according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Roman winger is close to returning after the glute injury and aims to start as a starter already against Torino. The pain is gone, and the player is eager to return to running down the flank, although the staff does not want to rush things ahead of the Champions League and Inter.

Great news also in defense: as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, Alessandro Buongiorno will return to the squad for the trip to the Olimpico Grande Torino. A symbolic return for the former granata, who has definitively overcome his physical issues and will offer Conte a valuable asset to secure the defense.

Roma, Celik's renewal closer

The surprising growth of the Turk is one of the secrets of the league-leading Roma. From a simple alternative to Hermoso, Celik has become the new right-back in the three-man defense, convincing first Ranieri and now Gasperini. A complete transformation, also crowned by a goal with Turkey in the victory in Bulgaria.

As reported by Il Corriere della Sera, Massara is considering renewing his contract expiring in June. The current salary of 1.7 million plus bonuses is sustainable, also thanks to the Growth Decree. Purchased in 2022 from Lille, Celik – now with 56 appearances and 3 goals for the national team – is now a cornerstone of Roma and Turkey.

Lazio, Gigot towards farewell despite recovery

The French defender, operated on his ankle in mid-September, is completing rehabilitation in his home country and aims to return to the field in the coming weeks. However, as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, Sarri has never really had him available nor considers him suitable for his system of play.

In the background remains the market: Lazio is indeed working on his sale to lighten the wage bill. It is difficult to recover the 4 million invested, more likely a loan formula with an obligation to buy, although there is a risk of a capital loss.

Fiorentina, Kean reassures everyone

Moise Kean has reassured Fiorentina fans. After this morning's instrumental tests, the striker of the national team posted a story on Instagram showing him celebrating.

"No one can stop what God is about to do for you, I will be back very soon, Forza Azzurri!” wrote Kean. Good news and a comforting sign regarding the striker's condition, as we wait to see when he will return to the field.
