Italy power battles, Inter’s path assessed, Juventus eye stars | OneFootball

La Gazzetta dello Sport spotlights two Italy duels, with Malago and Abete vying for the FIGC presidency and Allegri and Conte linked to the Azzurri job. Gazzetta says 19 of 20 Serie A clubs back the former CONI president, while the amateur leagues’ chief is also in the race.

Gazzetta also highlights Inter, noting Marcus Thuram’s influence through the middle and that the club consider him not up for discussion. It adds that Bastoni is struggling and that Barca are accelerating.

Corriere dello Sport analyses Inter’s title charge, stating they have 75 points without beating sides led by Conte or Allegri, with a draw and three defeats against Napoli and Milan, yet dominance elsewhere as they chase a 21st Scudetto. It says Chivu’s rise is notable in its own right.

Fiorentina won 1-0 and are looking towards safety, while Corriere reports Lazio’s fury with referee Fabbri. Corriere adds that Antonio Conte must pay €6,000 after a proposed charity donation was not approved by the FIGC or the AIA.

Gazzetta carries Juventus CEO Comolli suggesting marquee names such as Silva and Alisson are attractive because signings should be to win. Tuttosport says Comolli backs Spalletti, talks up a renewal for Lucio, keeps ambitions high regardless of fourth place, and indicates no Vlahovic decision is expected before season end. It mentions Lobotka as a candidate and that Di Gregorio has rejected Tottenham.

Gazzetta notes Ranieri and Gasperini are not saying goodbye, with Friedkin to decide in June amid divisions at Roma. Tuttosport previews the Champions League, with Barcelona needing to overturn a two-goal deficit at Atletico and Liverpool seeking the Anfield effect to reverse 2-0 against PSG, and reports Como president Suwarso condemning insults towards Interisti. It also says D’Aversa targets points and the derby to earn Cairo’s approval at Torino.
