Juve, here’s who is leading the race for the DS role

Juventus, still without a sporting director, has decided to rely on a headhunting company to identify the right profile. This strategy was already used in the summer for the appointment of Damien Comolli, who will also take on the role of CEO starting in November. Among the candidates, Marco Ottolini from Genoa and Johannes Spors from Southampton stand out, both appreciated for their experience and international vision.

As reported by Tuttosport, Ottolini remains the frontrunner but Genoa does not intend to let him go during the season. However, Juventus is in a hurry: the goal is to close the deal by December to allow the new executive to plan for the January transfer window; otherwise, Comolli will manage the session himself.

Milan, important defensive news against Pisa

Tonight Allegri will have to do without Rabiot, Loftus-Cheek, Jashari, Pulisic, Estupiñan, and Balentien, but Nkunku returns and is available again after his layoff. And that’s not all.

According to milannews.it and Sosfanta, De Winter is ready to make his debut as a starter in the Rossoneri defense: the player set to rest is Tomori.

Inter, will Thuram miss Fiorentina?

Marcus Thuram will not travel with Inter for the away match in Naples: the French striker is still recovering from the injury sustained against Slavia Prague in the Champions League. He continues personalized training at Appiano Gentile, with the staff unwilling to rush his return to avoid setbacks.

According to Sky Sport, Thuram is also expected to miss Wednesday’s match against Fiorentina and is targeting a return in next Sunday’s lunch match in Verona. The goal is to have him fully available for the following European clash.

Napoli, recovery times for Meret

When it rains, it pours for Napoli: after the extended layoff for Hojlund, this afternoon brought news of an injury to Alex Meret, who has fractured his second metatarsal.

This is not an easy injury to recover from: according to SOS Fanta, he risks being out for several weeks, but everything will be clearer in the coming hours.

Roma, Dovbyk booed: will they go to the market?

Dovbyk experienced another very negative evening in the AS Roma shirt: few touches, frequent mistakes, and boos from the Olimpico crowd.

As reported by Forzaroma.info, Roma is already looking to the January transfer window to find a valid alternative: the standout name is Joshua Zirkzee, considered a possible reinforcement, given that the Dutch striker is set to leave Manchester United and could return to Italy on loan.

Lazio, Guendouzi fired up: "Juve? We can beat them"

Mattéo Guendouzi spoke to Lazio’s official channels on the eve of the clash with Juventus. The Frenchman showed great confidence: «We know it will be a tough match, but we’re playing at home and want to win to improve our position in the standings. We have the quality to beat them». The midfielder also highlighted the team’s unity seen against Atalanta and the positive spirit of the group despite the injuries.

For the Frenchman, it will be his 100th appearance in the Biancoceleste shirt, a milestone he is proud of. Guendouzi has set the goal of bringing Lazio back to Europe and going as far as possible in the Coppa Italia: «Winning and bringing joy to the fans is what we desire».

Fiorentina, the latest on Gosens

At Fiorentina, Robin Gosens remains under observation: the left winger was rested in Europe due to a flu syndrome and has not yet fully recovered after the match against Milan.

According to SOS Fanta, if Pioli decides not to risk him, Parisi is ready to take his place.
