Let's look at today's most important news about the Serie A giants

Juventus targets Mawissa

According to Tuttosport, Juventus is considering a new profile for their defense and is closely watching Christian Mawissa, a twenty-year-old from Monaco who came from Toulouse. The defender quickly caught the attention of the Bianconeri, joining the already known Muharemovic from Sassuolo and Tiago Gabriel from Lecce.

What makes his name particularly interesting is a detail, also reported by the Piedmontese newspaper: it was Damien Comolli, now CEO of Juventus, who promoted him during his time at Toulouse. Mawissa could become the surprise of January in a year marking his definitive breakthrough.

Milan, Gimenez still uncertain for the derby

Milan concludes today the rest day granted by Allegri, before returning tomorrow to Milanello where the first internationals, including Maignan, Nkunku, Leao, Pavlovic, Gabbia, and Ricci, will return. Ahead of the derby, both Rabiot and Tomori seem destined to return to the squad.

However, Santiago Gimenez's condition remains to be monitored, as he was absent in Parma due to an ankle issue. The forward is still doubtful for the match against Inter, as reported by Corriere dello Sport.

Inter's backstory: almost signed Modric in 2018!

In 2018, Luka Modric was close to joining Inter: the Croatian, fresh from winning the Champions League and losing the World Cup final, was seeking new challenges and had given a tentative yes to the Nerazzurri. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the operation began during the negotiation for Vrsaljko, with agent Lemic opening a window. Inter considered a costly loan with an option to buy, while Modric was intrigued by the idea of joining Brozovic, Perisic, and Vrsaljko in Milan. But President Perez blocked everything, reminding of the €750 million clause and stating that the Croatian would stay at Real Madrid.

The affair led to a legal case: on August 14, Real reported Inter for contacting the player without notice. The Nerazzurri denied the accusations, explaining that it was Modric himself – through his agent – who showed interest. At the end of August, Perez attacked again, while Zanetti chose diplomacy. On September 3, FIFA dismissed the case: no violation. Modric would renew the following year, and for him, Inter remained a temptation that never materialized.

Napoli, Conte back to leading training

Napoli is on the field for a few minutes under Conte's guidance: the coach makes himself heard with a very loud voice, immediately setting the pace and intensity. The team starts strong to regain balance after recent setbacks.

According to Sky Sport, with Anguissa out for a long time, a possible change of formation in upcoming matches cannot be ruled out.

Roma eyes Frendrup: the evaluation

Morten Frendrup is one of the names set to ignite the January market: besides Inter and Napoli, Roma has now also joined the race for the Danish midfielder.

La Repubblica reports that Genoa values the player at 15 million and has no intention of offering discounts. The club opens up to a real auction among Serie A giants.

Lazio, when will Cancellieri return?

Matteo Cancellieri will have to wait a bit longer before being available for Lazio. Today's edition of Corriere dello Sport explains that about another month of rest is needed: the winger will miss the match against Lecce and the double clash with Milan, first in the league on November 29 and then in the Coppa Italia on December 4.

His possible return is set around December 13, for the game against Parma. Absent since the match in Bergamo against Atalanta, Cancellieri was one of the most in-form players in the squad. The goal remains to accelerate the recovery time, while Sarri awaits his return with great confidence.

Fiorentina, three names targeted for January

According to Firenzeviola, Fiorentina will aim to strengthen the midfield and defense in January. For the midfield, a profile capable of increasing pace and intensity is needed, but always within the limited budget after summer investments. The management will only consider operations with a good quality-price ratio, also considering the Financial Fair Play constraints.

Among the ideas, old targets re-emerge: Tessmann, who has flourished under Vanoli, remains complicated due to Lyon's demand, between 20 and 25 million. More accessible is Eric Martel from Cologne, whose contract expires in 2026. A new attempt for Sandi Lovric is also possible: the Udinese midfielder, little used and contracted until 2027, could become a concrete option for the Viola.
