It’s a transitional day for the top Italian clubs, but there’s never a shortage of news: here are the most important updates for the big teams in our league.

Juve, the backstory on Kelly

From a reserve destined to leave Turin to an increasingly reliable defender and now decisive in front of goal: Lloyd Kelly, born in 1998, is experiencing a real turning point with Juventus. In the summer, his name was on the transfer market, but the Englishman rejected every offer, thanks in part to the trust shown by Igor Tudor. This was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Croatian coach convinced him to stay, giving him space and responsibility. Today, Kelly is repaying that faith with solid and consistent performances, becoming an important asset for the Bianconeri.

Milan, Perin as the post-Maignan?

According to Calciomercato.it, Milan is closely monitoring Mattia Perin, especially in light of Mike Maignan’s contract expiring in June.

The former Genoa goalkeeper would not rule out the idea of moving on and accepting a call from the Rossoneri. The prospect of reuniting with Massimiliano Allegri, ready to welcome him in Milan, would be an added incentive. Perin would become the designated starter between the posts in the Rossoneri project. A move by Milan as early as January remains possible, with Juve valuing his transfer at around 4 million euros.

Inter, the latest on Lautaro

Important updates from Sky concern Lautaro Martinez’s condition. The Argentine striker had a personalized gym session today, without joining the group.

Tomorrow will be decisive in determining whether he can start alongside Thuram. The Nerazzurri staff will closely monitor his physical responses in training. If the captain doesn’t make it, Pio Esposito and Bonny will compete for the starting spot.

Napoli, ADL: "Stadium and training center in 4 years"

Before the match, later lost against Manchester City, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis spoke to Sky Sport.

"Napoli, first and foremost, must focus in the next 4 years on building its own training center and stadium to complete the growth cycle that, after the first 21 years, has almost been achieved.

We must be careful, the powerful football is English and Arab, while the rest of the world is in crisis and pays for the inability of virtual stadiums to generate the revenues needed to grow football in Italy and beyond. In England, they were extraordinary in deciding that the first team promoted to the Premier League gets a minimum of 100 million: the problem is always there."

Roma, Svilar: "Derby is the match of the year"

Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar gave an interview to CBS ahead of the derby against Lazio.

"Since I’ve been at Roma, the stadium is always full for home games and the atmosphere is incredible, but the derby remains special for the vibe you feel in the city. The fans talk to us about it from Monday on, reminding us that the derby is the most important event of the year.

The tension grows day by day as the match approaches, and you can feel it even in the locker room. It’s inevitable because you meet people on the street who encourage you and share all their anticipation; derby week is always different from the one before other matches."

Lazio, Luis Alberto’s attack

Former Lazio midfielder Luis Alberto opened up in an interview with Il Messaggero. His words towards the Biancocelesti club were harsh.

"Lazio has made many mistakes. The three crucial moments were Inzaghi’s departure, then Tare’s, and finally Sarri’s. At that point, it was clear we weren’t going anywhere. Plus, when people who don’t really understand football come in, it becomes difficult and now it will be even more so.

Either they renew everything or it will be tough. Luckily there’s a coach who says what he thinks and understands football, at least him. But if the rest don’t follow him…".

Fiorentina, interested in Argentine Brunetta

Fiorentina is closely monitoring the performances of Juan Brunetta, the Argentine playmaker for Tigres and a former Serie A player with Parma. Born in 1997, he is making a big impression in Mexico with high-level performances.

For this reason, the Viola have included him on their list of potential reinforcements for the upcoming transfer windows. Other Italian clubs like Bologna and Udinese have also started following him. At the moment, there are no official contacts from Fiorentina. However, interest in Brunetta is steadily growing, as reported by AlmaSports.
