Juve-Celik: agreement on salary

Zeki Celik, whose contract expires in June, has become a very appealing profile for several clubs, both in Italy and abroad. Roma tried to start negotiations for a renewal, but so far every attempt has not led to the desired results.

According to La Stampa, the winger has already reached a financial agreement with Juventus. A decisive step that brings him closer to leaving the Giallorossi and opens up a possible transfer to the Bianconeri.

Milan, Pavlovic KO: recovery times

Strahinja Pavlovic stopped during the match against Como and will have to take a break for a few weeks. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the defender will not be available for Sunday's game against Parma, while there is confidence at Milan for a possible recovery in view of March 1st on the Cremonese field.

Examinations revealed a high-impact direct trauma to the left leg, with a large hematoma in the soft tissues and edematous-hemorrhagic imbibition of the fibula, but without cortical fracture. A painful but not serious condition, which leaves the door open for a relatively quick return.

Inter, Dumfries accelerates: derby in sight

Denzel Dumfries is getting closer to returning after the long stop that began on November 9 against Lazio. In December, the Inter full-back underwent stabilization surgery on his left ankle, then started a rehabilitation path to definitively overcome the problem.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the target remains the derby on March 8, but a call-up for the league match on the 28th against Genoa at San Siro is not excluded. An encouraging sign for Inter, which could soon regain a key player on the flank.

Napoli, nightmare season over for two starters

Today's edition of Il Mattino takes stock of Napoli's injured players: currently, six players are sidelined. The most imminent recovery seems to be that of Scott McTominay, while the times are significantly extended for Amir Rahmani and David Neres, with the Brazilian having undergone ankle surgery about a month ago.

For Rahmani, a return date has not yet been set after the latest stop suffered against Roma, the third of the season. Conte hopes to have him back by the end of April, but much will also depend on the team's progress; for him and Neres, who is recovering from surgery in London, there remains a concrete risk of the season already being compromised.

Roma-Mancini, renewal until 2029

Having arrived in the capital in 2019, Gianluca Mancini has become a mainstay of Roma over the years. Despite a contract already valid until 2027, the defender born in '96 is ready to further extend his adventure with the Giallorossi.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, the agreement is now defined: a new deal until 2029 with an option for an additional season, until 2030. A clear signal of the mutual desire to continue together in the name of continuity.

Lazio, €600 million offer: Lotito says no

The future of Lazio becomes the focus not for the player market, but for the corporate one. According to an exclusive by Cronache di Spogliatoio, a Qatari fund has made an offer exceeding 600 million euros to purchase the entire package of the Biancocelesti club. An offer described as pharaonic, capable of representing a record valuation in the club's history.

Despite the figure, Claudio Lotito is inclined to reject the assault. The president's intention remains to continue the path started almost twenty years ago, even in a tense climate with the fans and with new international groups continuing to monitor the situation.

Fiorentina-Pisa, challenge on the flank: Touré

In the postponement of the 26th day, Fiorentina faces Pisa of Hiljemark, still looking for a breakthrough after collecting only one point against Verona and Milan. Among the certainties of the Nerazzurri, already in the days of Gilardino, stands out Idrissa Touré, a right winger who has become a mainstay of the Tuscan team.

Having grown up between Leipzig, Schalke, and Werder, exploded in Juventus Next Gen, and arrived in Pisa in 2021, the German has stood out for his physicality and offensive impact. The numbers reward him for passes in the area, tackles, and interceptions, placing him among the best in the role: it will be up to Gosens to curb his running and athletic prowess.
