Juve, Gala’s president clarifies on Osimhen

In the days of the Champions League double-header, rumors have resurfaced about a possible move to Turin for Victor Osimhen, fueled also by the striker’s own words, as he has previously expressed admiration for the Bianconeri club.

However, Galatasaray president Ozbek has firmly denied rumors of a release clause, emphasizing that the player’s value is now much higher than the €75 million cited at the time of the deal. The executive also reiterated the club’s intention to keep the former Napoli striker for a long time, calling him the most exciting center forward since Metin Oktay. There was no comment, however, on the alleged “anti-Italy” clause linked to his transfer from Napoli.

Milan, Bartesaghi eyes the derby: quick return to the squad

According to TMW, Davide Bartesaghi trained with the group and has thus recovered from the flexor strain suffered against Cremonese. Until just a few hours ago, his presence in the derby was considered highly doubtful, even for the bench.

His recovery reopens the race for a starting spot in the clash with Inter. If Bartesaghi still doesn’t make it from the first minute, Milan already has Pervis Estupinan ready as an alternative.

Inter, Bonny close to a call-up

According to Sky Sport, there is good news for Cristian Chivu: Ange-Yoan Bonny trained regularly with the rest of the group in today’s session. The calf issue has therefore been overcome.

The striker is now a candidate for a call-up for the derby against Milan. It remains to be seen how Chivu will use him, but his recovery is already an important sign for Inter.

Napoli after Tonali: Serie A return possible

According to Tuttosport, the future of Sandro Tonali is one of the hottest topics in the international transfer market. The presence of agent Beppe Riso at Brighton-Arsenal has fueled rumors around the Newcastle United midfielder, who is being followed by several top clubs after two outstanding years in the Premier League.

The newspaper points out that, despite Juventus’ dream of bringing him back to Italy, Newcastle values him at €100 million and is holding firm. However, there is strong pressure from Arsenal and Manchester United, while Tonali’s name continues to be linked to Napoli ahead of the summer.

Roma, when will Soulé return?

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Matias Soule has been following a specific program for about three weeks to resolve the pubalgia that has been troubling him. After his brief appearance against Napoli on February 15, Roma’s doctors advised him to stop, alternating therapy, massages, rest, and gym exercises.

The pubalgia worsened because he pushed through for too long, making a break necessary. The newspaper also reports that the recovery plan foresees a return to group training on Monday, with the stated goal of being available for the away match in Como on March 15.

Roma, Giuntoli in the background

According to La Repubblica, the name of Cristiano Giuntoli is once again circulating insistently around Roma. The executive, currently without a role after his experiences with Napoli and Juventus, is being mentioned as a possible replacement for Frederic Massara should the club and Massara part ways at the end of the season.

Adding fuel to the rumors is the professional relationship between Giuntoli and Gian Piero Gasperini. Meanwhile, Massara continues to work on next season, but his future will depend on the Friedkins’ decisions and the opinion of Claudio Ranieri.

Lazio, ongoing Lotito-Sarri tension

According to the Corriere dello Sport, the relationship between Claudio Lotito and Maurizio Sarri remains tense, with new back-and-forths after the match against Atalanta. At the center of the discussion is the use of Daniel Maldini: Lotito claimed the signing was as an attacking winger, while Sarri reiterated that technical decisions are the coach’s responsibility.

The newspaper highlights how it is difficult to imagine a calm discussion at the end of the season. Sarri aims to finish the year at least with a Coppa Italia final, while Lotito will have to deal with several open issues: twelve players with contracts expiring between 2026 and 2027, the risk of changing coach for the third consecutive year, and the prospect of another zero-balance transfer market for Lazio.

Fiorentina, Kean gives it a try

According to La Nazione, Moise Kean has been training separately due to a tibia problem, but he has not yet given up hope of being available against Parma. Fiorentina needs a win at a stage of the season where every point counts more and more.

The newspaper explains that much will depend on today’s training session: if Kean returns to the group, his chances of starting from the first minute will also increase. Paolo Vanoli is therefore awaiting concrete signs from his center forward ahead of the home match.
