Today is a particularly significant day, marked by the tragic passing of Alex Manninger.
Here are the most important updates regarding the biggest clubs in our Serie A.
With tenth place now certain, Juventus will be obliged to sign Lois Openda permanently from Leipzig for 40.6 million plus 1.7 million in additional charges, a figure on top of the 4.1 million already spent on the loan and bonuses. It is therefore a major investment for a deal that has already been finalized.
Even so, the Belgian’s future appears to lie away from Turin: Openda has never fully convinced Luciano Spalletti and could leave as early as this summer. As reported by Tuttosport, Rennes and Bournemouth are both interested in him.
Milan will be away to Hellas Verona on Sunday at 3 p.m., aiming to bounce back after defeats against Napoli and Udinese. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Allegri is preparing a return to the 3-5-2, focusing on a more solid setup than in recent matches.
Changes in personnel are also expected: Gabbia is ready to return to the defense after injury, while Tomori will be back in the starting lineup. In midfield, meanwhile, Fofana is ahead in the race to start in place of Ricci, as reported by the pink paper.
Alessandro Bastoni is getting closer and closer to leaving Inter for Barcelona. The 1999-born defender has already reached a financial agreement with the blaugrana, as reported by Matteo Moretto, marking an important step toward completing the deal. All that remains now is for the two clubs to reach an agreement: Inter and Barcelona are working to finalize terms in the coming weeks, the last piece needed to complete the transfer.
Yann Sommer risks losing his starting spot at Inter, and his future remains completely up in the air. The goalkeeper could stay with the Nerazzurri as backup, but the possibility of a parting at the end of the season is also gaining traction.
According to Tuttosport, one possible destination is Basel, the club where he came through the youth ranks, which is ready to bring him back to Switzerland for a new spell in his homeland.
Stanislav Lobotka’s future remains hard to predict: the Napoli midfielder has a €25 million release clause, but it is valid exclusively for foreign clubs, a choice designed to avoid a move to a domestic rival.
However, there is also a key detail in his contract: as reported by TMW, there is an automatic renewal option that would be triggered if the Slovak plays at least half of the matches next season, thereby extending the length of the agreement.
Roma could say goodbye to as many as eight players due to expiring loans and contracts that will run out in June. A mini revolution may be on the horizon for the Giallorossi, who will have to deal with several situations still hanging in the balance.
According to Il Romanista, however, Gasperini has already identified three players to keep: Pellegrini, Dybala, and Celik. The Turkish defender is actually the only one for whom initial renewal talks have taken place, even though there is still no real negotiation at this stage.
Mattia Zaccagni is having a difficult season, hampered by injuries, but he still has a market: according to Il Messaggero, Marseille has made a move for the Biancocelesti captain. The player is not ruling out a transfer and would be ready to listen to any offers, while uncertainty over his future is growing at Formello.
For this very reason, Lazio is already looking around: as reported by Il Messaggero, the club is closely following Kaique Kenji, a talented 2006-born player from Cruzeiro. He is a young profile still to be developed, identified as part of the plan to refresh and rejuvenate the squad.
Excitement is building for the display prepared by the Curva Fiesole, ready to put on a special show for the Conference clash. As reported by La Nazione, flags will be handed out at the entrance to every section of the stadium to involve the entire crowd.
The choreography will take shape during the competition anthem, in what promises to be a passionate and united atmosphere at the Franchi. Despite a complicated season, the bond between the team and the fans remains incredibly strong, with the aim of creating a true European-night atmosphere.
