From Yildiz's renewal with Juventus to Barcelona's interest in Bastoni: here are the most important news of yesterday.

Juve accelerates for Yildiz's renewal

Kenan Yildiz has established himself as a reference point for Juventus in an initially challenging phase of the season. The 2005 class Turkish player has taken on a central role, leading the team and contributing decisively to the climb towards the top positions thanks to his personality and extraordinary technical skills.

However, the issue of his contract renewal remains open. His current salary, about 1.5 million annually, is not considered adequate by his entourage, who are asking for an increase in line with the top players of the squad. According to Tuttosport, a meeting with the management is expected before Christmas: while clubs like Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Chelsea are watching with interest.

Leão flies to the Super Cup: will he be there with Napoli?

Milan is ready to depart for Saudi Arabia ahead of the Italian Super Cup semifinal against Napoli. On the flight to Riyadh, Rafael Leão will also be present, aiming to at least be on the bench on Thursday.

According to Corriere della Sera, despite the Portuguese player's availability, the club does not intend to take excessive risks: the squad is already stretched thin, and Milan cannot afford more physical problems ahead of the match.

Barcelona swoops in on Bastoni but...

In recent days, Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, traveled to Milan to evaluate possible market operations, among which the name of Alessandro Bastoni stands out. The Catalan club's interest is not isolated: according to Matteo Moretto, the defender is also liked by numerous other European clubs.

However, a transfer in January seems impractical due to the high costs and the player's own desire, who has always expressed the wish to stay at Inter. No news is expected until June. The next summer will therefore be crucial to evaluate potential offers and the defender's final decision.

Amorim clarifies on Mainoo

Napoli is looking for midfield reinforcements to cope with the long list of absentees, and among the profiles followed is Kobbie Mainoo, a young talent from Manchester United. The 2005 class player, currently on the fringes of the team led by Amorim, has caught the attention of the azzurri management, who are considering bringing him to Italy already in the winter transfer window.

The final decision will also depend on the judgment of the coach Amorim, who stated in a conference: “If Kobbie comes to talk to me, I am willing to discuss it. I won't say what I would tell him, but I would be happy if he came to talk to me. I want my players to be happy and I understand that everyone has their own goals. Frustration helps no one.”

The full-back says goodbye to Roma

The future of Anass Salah-Eddine seems destined to remain in the Netherlands. The former Roma full-back, who arrived in the summer at PSV on loan with a buyout option set at 8 million euros, has quickly impressed, gaining the trust of the club and especially the general director Marcel Brands.

“He is a fantastic guy and we will do everything to keep him here,” said Brands, highlighting the club's appreciation for his qualities. The director recalled that PSV had tried to acquire him from Twente in the past, but Roma's interest had driven up the price.

Lazio-Nuno Tavares: will it be goodbye?

The chances of seeing Nuno Tavares at Lazio for much longer seem to be constantly decreasing. According to Corriere dello Sport, Luca Pellegrini has now taken over in Sarri's hierarchy, although he has tried to support the Portuguese player and relaunch him when possible. 

For this reason, Tavares is among the potential departures of the January transfer window. Any sale on the left flank will need to be compensated by a targeted acquisition, avoiding weakening the team. Among the names considered by Lazio is Aaron Martin, a Spanish full-back born in 1997 from Genoa, whose contract expires in June.

Fiorentina, eyes on the protégé

The name of Przemyslaw Wisniewiski, a Polish defender from Spezia, returns to the spotlight for Fiorentina's market. According to Secolo XIX, there are already “advancements” for the transfer of the 1998 class central defender to Florence during the January session, with one of his agents expected in Italy soon to meet with the viola management.

The appreciation for the player is also confirmed by Paolo Vanoli, who has already coached him in Venice and would gladly welcome him in Tuscany. However, it remains to be clarified whether the coach will still be leading Fiorentina in January, considering that his future will depend on the results of the upcoming matches against Lausanne and Udinese.
