Let's discover today's most important news regarding the top Serie A teams.

Juventus, here's why Sancho was rejected

Fabrizio Romano, on his YouTube channel, clarified that it was Juventus who decided not to pursue Jadon Sancho. The operation was conducted directly by the player's agent, Emeka Obasi, but the Bianconeri always kept their distance.

Romano explained that “Juventus spoke with Manchester United, talked with his agents, inquired about the conditions, but after understanding the issues not only economic but also surrounding the player, Juventus chose not to proceed.” Sancho, therefore, “was never close to Juve due to a decision by Juventus.”

Milan, Saelemaekers negotiating renewal

Alexis Saelemaekers convinced Milan upon his return from loans at Bologna and Roma. His performances have won over the coach, who does not hesitate to start him.

As Tuttosport writes, the management has already initiated contacts with agent Spicic for a renewal until 2030, with a salary increase from 2 to 3 million euros.

Inter, Ordonez targeted for January

Inter is already thinking about the January market. The arrival of Manuel Akanji has not completely dispelled the fans' doubts, who were asking for a young defender instead of Acerbi or De Vrij.

According to Tuttosport, the club is following Joel Ordonez from Club Brugge, a name highlighted for a potential addition that could renew the defense for the next season.

Napoli, Conte's request to Lucca

Lorenzo Lucca is working to improve under the guidance of Antonio Conte. During the break, the striker received specific instructions from the coach and teammates, especially from De Bruyne.

Corriere dello Sport highlights that, more than the missed goals, what stood out was his willingness to play physically, make assists, and serve the team, following the coach's advice step by step.

Roma, hunting for a new sponsor

Roma needs to increase revenue to comply with UEFA constraints. As Il Tempo reminds, until 2026 the club must maintain a deficit below 60 million.

From July 1, 2025, Riyadh Season will no longer be the main sponsor, and at Trigoria, they are working to find a new brand that ensures financial stability and support for the sports project.

Lazio, Sarri between Insigne and the Fabbian dream

Maurizio Sarri is pushing for the arrival of Lorenzo Insigne among the free agents, his former protégé at Napoli. However, the Lazio management would prefer to rejuvenate the squad.

As Il Messaggero reports, other targets are more difficult: Jan-Carlo Simic has ended up at Al Ittihad, and Giovanni Fabbian seems complicated to reach.

Fiorentina, Kean the top earner

Corriere dello Sport reveals that Fiorentina's wage bill has risen to 36.52 million, eleven more than in 2019, the first year of the Commisso era.

The highest-paid player is Moise Kean with 4.5 million net per season, the absolute record under Commisso's presidency. He surpassed Ribery, who earned 4 million net from 2019 to 2021.
