Serie A returns, Inter the benchmark as rivals line up | OneFootball

Serie A kicks off with champions Inter at a sold-out San Siro. Gazzetta dello Sport frames the campaign around the holders, with Milan and Juventus seeking a response.

Corriere dello Sport says Inter start with Napoli and Como close behind. It adds that Chivu calls his team the one to beat and stresses they aim to keep Lautaro, while Allegri argues Inter are favourites but sees eight contenders.

Corriere also notes Hojlund is set to lead the line, with De Bruyne likely from the bench, and Cesc preparing Paz and Liberali.

Corriere reports Juventus are weighing Beltran in goal as well as Vicario, with the Argentine viewed as Martinez’s national-team successor. It also says Cardinale held face-to-face talks at Milan, outlining his project to Maignan, Rabiot and Modric.

Tardelli said: "Nobody like Inter, but if they complete Spalletti’s team, there’s space for a head-to-head." Speaking to Tuttosport. He added: "Yildiz is still not a leader."

Tuttosport reports Chivu’s irritation at the Lautaro noise, calling the market "a bastard". It adds Spain and Argentina have confirmed an agreement with the Catalans, ready to offer 100m, though he remains unsellable, and that Jones will be in the stands against Monza today.

Tuttosport also outlines a goalkeeping shake-up, with Perin to Palermo, Beltran of River Plate offered and Musso in the background, while David wants to stay.
