Let’s take a look at the most important news of the day.

Juve, how is Vlahovic?

Gazzetta dello Sport reports a sigh of relief for Juventus: Dusan Vlahovic is in good condition and trained with the group yesterday. The adductor overload, which he suffered after the international break, had required caution in his management. That’s why Spalletti chose to play him in Florence, then rested him for the freezing away match in Bodo.

Now the striker is ready to reclaim his starting spot from the first minute against Cagliari, barring any surprises. At 6 p.m. tomorrow, he is expected to be the one chosen to lead the Bianconeri attack. Despite encouraging signs from David and Openda in the Champions League, in many ways Vlahovic remains the main guarantee in the department.

Milan, scouts in Belgium to follow an '07

According to MilanNews.it, yesterday some Milan scouts were present in Belgium to closely follow Genk-Basel in the Europa League. Their target was Kostantinos Karestas, born in 2007, who scored the decisive goal that gave the home side the win. A performance that confirmed the Rossoneri’s interest.

The Greek attacking midfielder is having a breakthrough season: with Genk he has already made 21 appearances, provided 7 assists, and scored 1 goal. Numbers that reflect his potential, to the point of being considered one of the most intriguing talents on the European scene.

Inter, reconstruction of the Lautaro-Chivu episode

Corriere dello Sport reconstructs the Lautaro episode against Atletico: the Nerazzurri captain showed his disappointment at being substituted, shaking his head and handing the armband to the referee. However, once off the pitch, he greeted Chivu calmly. According to the newspaper, therefore, there is no internal issue or rift with the coach.

The newspaper also explains the Argentine’s state of mind: the double substitution in a few days weighs on him, and above all, the difficulty in making an impact in this season’s big matches. Zero goals against Juve, Roma, Napoli, Milan, and Atletico—games in which Inter has often paid the price. In the background, there are also the effects of the yellow fever vaccine he took for the national team.

Napoli, contacts resumed with Mainoo

Napoli, facing a real emergency in midfield, will have to act decisively in the January transfer market. The hottest profile remains that of Kobbie Mainoo, who is set to leave Manchester United. Alfredo Pedullà provides an update on the situation.

The journalist reports that contacts with the entourage of the 2005-born player have resumed and are ongoing in recent hours. The player reportedly has four offers on the table, including one from Roma. Pedullà adds that Napoli has not given up and continues to push to bring him to the Azzurri.

Roma, will Hermoso be there against Napoli?

Looking ahead to the big match with Napoli, Roma continues preparations with confidence, buoyed by their good form in both the league and Europe. As the article reports, the post-Europa League session was split between recovery work for the starters and full training for the others. The most notable news concerns the return of Mario Hermoso, who has overcome his thigh issue and is ready to reclaim his place in Gasperini’s starting eleven.

There were also positive signs from Leon Bailey, fresh from an assist in Europe and available again after his last commitment. The Olimpico clash is crucial for the standings: the Giallorossi are top with a minimal lead over Milan and Napoli. A direct showdown that could significantly shape the race in the coming weeks. The condition of Koné, however, remains to be seen.

Lazio, Tavares leaving in January?

According to Il Messaggero, Nuno Tavares could leave Lazio as early as January, having opened up to a possible move to Saudi Arabia. The Biancocelesti are therefore evaluating possible alternatives for the left flank. Among the options considered is Aaron Martin from Genoa.

Among the profiles being followed, the name of Kike Salas from Sevilla is circulating again. The new development, however, concerns Anton Gaaei from Ajax, born in 2002, who has forcefully entered the Biancocelesti’s shortlist. Lazio is monitoring all options while awaiting developments in the Tavares situation.

Fiorentina, no risk of transfer ban

Corriere Fiorentino clarifies the situation regarding Fiorentina’s winter transfer market, after rumors from Calcio e Finanza about a possible ban linked to the “expanded labor cost” indicator. The Viola club has stated that the figure is below the 80% threshold compared to revenue, so there is no immediate risk. News that reassures the club environment.

However, the newspaper points out that the margins remain very tight and the club is close to the limit. Pioli’s dismissal has also had an economic impact, which is why every purchase in January will have to be offset by a sale. And the lack of participation in European competitions will further reduce revenues.
