The three-day opening round of the Champions League 2025/26 championship phase concludes today with the final matches, including the big match at Etihad between Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and Antonio Conte's Napoli, the champions of Italy.
The Champions and their stars take the stage, but that's not all: here are the most important news for the big teams in our championship.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Dusan Vlahovic's future will be far from Juventus. The most plausible path leads to Liga: Atlético Madrid had already explored the possibility and could make a move, while at Barcelona, Lewandowski's future opens up interesting scenarios.
In the Premier League, keep an eye on Manchester United, "in constant revolution," writes La Gazzetta. In Serie A, however, "the signing seems prohibitive": Milan had considered it in the summer and Inter could attempt a free transfer, while Napoli has since turned to Hojlund.
Milan is working on renewals. Tuttosport explains that Mike Maignan remains the most difficult case, but with Christian Pulisic and Alexis Saelemaekers the situation seems simple.
The American will extend until 2029 with a salary increase from 4 to 5 million, while for the Belgian, a contract is being worked on until 2029 or even 2030. Discussions will also be held about Tomori and Loftus-Cheek later on.
Matteo Darmian did not take part in the trip to Amsterdam due to back pain. As reported by FcInterNews.it, he worked individually today but will return to the group tomorrow in view of Inter-Sassuolo.
Lautaro Martinez trained in the gym and should return to the team from the next session, after watching the match with Ajax from the bench.
According to Il Mattino, Napoli could change its tactical face against Manchester City. Not the 4-1-4-1 recently seen, but a 4-4-2 designed to face Guardiola.
The newspaper suggests Milinkovic Savic in goal, defense with Olivera, Di Lorenzo, Beukema and Buongiorno. In midfield Politano, Lobotka, Anguissa and McTominay, while in attack there would be the pair De Bruyne-Hojlund.
New stop for Wesley. As reported by Il Tempo, the Brazilian winger did not train due to a gastrointestinal problem, but there are no muscle injuries. The former Flamengo should recover in time for the derby with Lazio.
Hermoso is also at risk: as reported by Radio Manà Manà Sport, the defender stopped during the last training due to a calf discomfort. His conditions will be monitored daily by the medical staff: his presence on Sunday remains highly doubtful.
Bad news for Lazio. Gigot has undergone ankle surgery and will be out for a long time. "The operation, which was perfectly successful, will allow the defender to subsequently continue his recovery process in France," the club reports.
Lazzari also stops: he suffered "a low-grade injury to the right soleus muscle" and has already started rehabilitation.
After the stop with the Icelandic national team, the alarm has returned to Fiorentina regarding Albert Gudmundsson.
As reported by La Nazione, the former Genoa has worked regularly with his teammates and with the ball. The attacker will therefore be available for Pioli for the match against Como and could even start from the first minute.
