With the first legs of the Champions League quarter-finals now in the books, Thursday brings Europa League and Conference League action, with the Italian sides taking center stage.
It’s a double Serie A-Premier League clash, with Bologna hosting Aston Villa and Fiorentina in London to face Crystal Palace.
But there is no shortage of news involving the other top clubs: let’s take a look at the biggest stories of the day.
According to TMW, Douglas Luiz’s future appears to be increasingly far from Juventus. After a difficult spell between Turin and Nottingham, the Brazilian has rediscovered consistency at Aston Villa and is aiming to stay in the Premier League.

The English club could sign him permanently for around €25 million plus €3.5 million in bonuses, a lower figure than the total investment made in 2024. His stay would be helped by the presence of Unai Emery and possible qualification for the Champions League.
According to MilanNews, Youssouf Fofana could become one of the players Milan are willing to sacrifice next summer. The midfielder, who arrived from Monaco for €26 million, has several admirers in the Premier League and Turkey.

The Rossoneri are considering any offers that could generate a capital gain, given that his residual book value is around €16 million. A major sale could help finance a high-profile signing such as Leon Goretzka.
According to Sacha Tavolieri, Inter have stepped up contacts for Moncef Zekri, full-back for KV Mechelen. The Nerazzurri have already submitted an offer of €4.2 million plus 10% of any future resale.

The deal could include a one-year loan to allow the player to continue developing. Brentford are also interested in the 2008-born talent and are ready to compete for his signature.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli have revived their interest in Richard Rios, now at Benfica. The midfielder, signed from Palmeiras for €27 million, is valued at no less than €30 million.

The Azzurri are not alone: Inter are also tracking the player, making the race especially competitive. Sporting director Giovanni Manna is pushing to bring him to Italy.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma are considering attacking reinforcements, and one of the main targets is Julian Brandt, whose contract with Borussia Dortmund is nearing its end. The German could arrive on a free transfer, representing an interesting opportunity.

At the same time, the club are also following Dario Osorio of Midtjylland, valued at around €15 million. Their strategy will also depend on the future of Paulo Dybala.
According to La Repubblica, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is set to leave Lazio at the end of the season. The midfielder has not convinced Maurizio Sarri, and the club have already set their valuation.

The asking price is between €15 million and €18 million. The sale is part of the club’s squad renewal strategy for next season.
In an interview with Corriere della Sera, sporting director Fabio Paratici outlined Fiorentina’s plans, focusing on youth and continuity. He expressed confidence over Moise Kean staying, while also noting the presence of a release clause.

He also had important words for Nicolò Fagioli, calling him “a Barcelona-type midfielder.” The executive also confirmed the desire to develop an Under-23 project to enhance the talents developed at Viola Park.
