💣 Juve want Mawissa, Roma chase Nketiah, Gimenez denied 🛑: today’s news 🔥 | OneFootball

In addition to Gatti's injury (who will need surgery) and the decision regarding Pulisic's call-up, there are other updates about the top Italian teams.

Let’s take a look at the most important news of the day.

Juventus, Mawissa targeted for defense

Juventus is looking around for the January transfer window and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, one of their preferred targets is Christian Mawissa from Monaco.

The defender, born in 2005, was bought by the French club for 16 million in the summer of 2024: the outlay, therefore, would have to be significant.

Milan, Pimenta speaks about Gimenez

To deny the transfer rumors about Gimenez leaving in January (details here), his agent Rafaela Pimenta stated: "There has not been a single moment when Milan told me something was wrong."

"Every time the press talks too much, I call Milan, and Milan always replies: ‘No, we’re calm, everything’s fine, thank you’”

Inter, who will replace Frattesi

As La Gazzetta dello Sport writes, Davide Frattesi is reportedly disappointed with the playing time given to him by Chivu at the start of the season.

One option for January could be Napoli, who are looking for at least one midfielder due to injuries to Anguissa and KDB. For the Nerazzurri, the target is Frendrup, while the dream remains Manu Koné from Roma.

Napoli, inquiry with Ajax

As Il Mattino reports, Giovanni Manna is working to make up for the injuries to KDB and Anguissa: besides the main target, who remains Mainoo, the profiles of Atta (who has a high price tag), Frendrup, and Frattesi are also intriguing according to Corriere della Sera.

Abroad, Kenneth Taylor is also of interest: the Ajax midfielder, born in 2002, costs between 25 and 35 million.

Roma, Nketiah is liked

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Zirkzee deal is becoming complicated: Manchester United would like to include a mandatory buyout clause in the deal.

Therefore, Roma is making inquiries and, still in the Premier League, they like Eddie Nketiah: the 1999-born striker from Crystal Palace who has played little so far this season, mainly due to a double injury. 

Lazio, Gravina takes a jab at Lotito

During an interview with Corriere dello Sport (full interview here) Gravina spoke about Lazio’s transfer ban: "Injecting 3 million in capital to solve the situation? Come on, let’s be serious. If we follow demagoguery, we’ll never get out of this. 

"The indicators are objective and were approved in March 2024. Everyone knew the rules of the game and Lotito voted for them too."  

Fiorentina, Sarri could have arrived

As Il Messaggero reports, before choosing Pioli as the new coach, former sporting director Pradé had been advised by Igli Tare to go for Maurizio Sarri.

The current Milan sporting director would have vouched for his abilities, but Pradé still chose Pioli: a decision that, in hindsight, was almost disastrous.
