Juve, does Bernardo prefer Barça?

Bernardo Silva is preparing to leave Manchester City and remains one of the profiles most closely followed by Juventus for the new technical project entrusted to Luciano Spalletti. The Portuguese playmaker, available on a free transfer, appears to be leaning mainly toward Barcelona.

In an interview with The Athletic, the player explained that he wants to keep playing at the highest level, also stressing how his family’s well-being will be decisive in choosing his next destination. Meanwhile, the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is reportedly already working on contacts with the Blaugrana, while in Turin they are said to be preparing a major offer to try to bring the Portuguese star to Italy.

Milan, the new sporting director from the RedBird universe!

At Milan, decisive weeks lie ahead to define the future of the club’s sporting department. With Igli Tare’s departure now seemingly imminent, other executive roles are also still up in the air, and any final decisions will be postponed until the end of the season, when the club assesses the league campaign and plans for next year.

According to Gianlucadimarzio.com, among the profiles being considered by Gerry Cardinale for the sporting director role is also Viktor Bezhani, currently an executive at Toulouse, a club within the RedBird universe. The Albanian has stood out in recent years above all for his management of young talents.

Inter, fewer and fewer doubts about Pepo

Inter continue to reflect on the future of the Nerazzurri goal, and Pepo Martinez’s recent performances have reportedly strengthened the club’s confidence in the Spanish goalkeeper. Initially brought in as an alternative to Sommer, the former Genoa man is said to be increasingly convincing the Inter camp thanks to the personality and reliability he has shown whenever called upon.

According to Sky Sport, within the club the idea is growing of promoting Martinez as a possible first-choice goalkeeper for the future. It’s an important assessment that could also influence upcoming transfer decisions, with Inter potentially able to allocate the €30 million needed to sign Vicario to another target instead, perhaps in midfield.

Napoli, a clause emerges in Højlund’s contract

Rasmus Højlund continues to be a central part of Napoli’s project, with the club counting heavily on him for the coming seasons as well. The Danish striker, who arrived from Manchester United, is considered a strategic investment on which the Azzurri intend to build continuity and the future.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Atalanta player’s contract includes a release clause set at around €85 million, though it can only be triggered from the summer of 2027 and is valid exclusively for foreign clubs. A condition that, in effect, strengthens Napoli’s position in the short and medium term, giving the club significant control over the player’s future.

Roma, Koné offered abroad!

Manu Koné remains a name in Roma’s transfer plans, especially in terms of possible sales linked to the need to balance the books. The French midfielder, who was already close to leaving the capital a year ago, continues to attract strong market interest.

According to Matteo Moretto, Koné was offered to Atlético Madrid through transfer intermediaries, but the Spanish club’s response was not positive at this stage. The Colchoneros, in fact, are said to be focusing on other priorities to strengthen their midfield and have not currently included the Roma player among their main targets.

Lazio without goalkeepers! Motta also out

It won’t be an easy derby for Lazio, who are already heading into it with morale at rock bottom after their Coppa Italia final defeat to Inter.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Sarri has lost Motta to a muscle problem. The young goalkeeper, who arrived in January and immediately became the starter because of Provedel’s injury, will be replaced by Furlanetto.

Fiorentina, who will be back against Juve? Kean...

The chances of seeing Moise Kean on the pitch in tomorrow’s match against Juventus are now down to a minimum. The striker is still continuing his recovery program and has not yet managed to return to full training with the group.

As reported by La Nazione, his return still looks a long way off. Piccoli is ready to replace him. As for the other decisions, Vanoli still has two lineup doubts to resolve: one in midfield, where Brescianini is pushing Ndour, and one in attack, with Gudmundsson only just back in training with the group but not yet at his best physically. On the left flank, meanwhile, Solomon remains the favorite.
