Juventus, Elkann on the sale of the club

During the Juventus shareholders' meeting, John Elkann spoke. The CEO of Exor, the holding company that controls the Bianconeri, discussed a hypothetical sale of the club.

"We continue to be fully committed to Juventus and we are proud to have been the controlling shareholders for over a century. [...] our priority remains to combine positive sporting results with financial discipline", said Elkann.

Milan, another star on the way?

After the successful signing of 40-year-old Luka Modric, Milan would like to try again with another seasoned champion. According to Sportitalia, the Rossoneri club has set its sights on Robert Lewandowski.

The Barcelona striker’s contract is expiring, but it’s complicated for him to arrive as early as January. A Milan attempt next summer is more likely.

Inter, Marotta on future investments

Inter president Beppe Marotta spoke about the Nerazzurri club’s future investments after the purchase, together with Milan, of the San Siro stadium. Here are his words as reported by Daniele Mari on X.

"Oaktree has taken on board the indications we have given. [...] The ownership immediately made it possible to invest around 100 million to improve the training facilities, because if you don’t provide the tools to improve, you don’t enhance the resources either", said Marotta.

Napoli, ADL tough on the Maradona

The topic of stadiums and infrastructure is also current at Napoli. According to words reported by TMW, president Aurelio De Laurentiis spoke about the home of the Partenopei club, hoping to build a more modern one.

"The Maradona stadium is a dump. Even PSG plays in a stadium it doesn’t own, but by paying the same amount that Napoli pays to the municipality, they have a stadium that generates 100 million a year. We pay to have the stadium the day before the event, the day of the event, clean it the day after, and return it."

Roma, so many injuries!

Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini, fresh off winning the award for best coach of the month in the Italian league for October, still has to deal with three major injuries in addition to that of Paulo Dybala.

According to Gianluncadimarzio.com, Angelino, Leon Bailey, and Ewan Ferguson trained separately and should return after the international break that will begin on Monday.

Lazio, Provedel changes the market

With Maurizio Sarri’s return to the Lazio bench, Ivan Provedel’s position between the posts can be considered stable again. 

This decision by the Biancocelesti coach has also changed the club’s future transfer market scenarios. Now, according to Il Messaggero, the one set to leave should be Christos Mandas, who could depart as early as January for a fee of around 7–8 million euros.

Fiorentina, Vanoli’s first words

Paolo Vanoli is officially the new coach of Fiorentina. The former Torino coach, who lived in Florence as a player, responded as follows about the challenge that awaits him.

"Florence is a demanding place, but the beauty of being here is precisely this: having the courage to play under pressure. I came because I like challenges. I’m taking a risk too, but we have to take it one step at a time to get out of this situation".
