Juve searching for a full-back: two options for Comolli

Igor Tudor’s Juventus continues to work intensely to find a victory that has been missing for over a month, keeping their focus high ahead of upcoming league commitments. While the team prepares on the field, the Bianconeri management is already looking ahead to the winter transfer market with the aim of strengthening the flanks.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the main names on Juventus’ shortlist are Nahuel Molina from Atletico Madrid, a profile already followed in the past, and Malo Gusto, a young French full-back from Chelsea, born in 2003. Two international options that demonstrate the club’s intention to strengthen the squad for the second half of the season.

Milan, Nkunku-Gimenez duel for Bergamo

After the home draw against Pisa, Max Allegri’s Milan is already focused on Tuesday night’s clash against Atalanta at the New Balance Arena. The Rossoneri will face a team still unbeaten in the league but winless since September 21. The big question concerns the attack: who will partner Rafael Leão?

According to MilanNews, the duel between Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku remains open. Both have only scored in the Coppa Italia against Lecce, where they found the net one after the other. Gimenez, with 1 goal and 2 assists this season, is slightly ahead, but Nkunku is eager for a starting spot and his first Serie A goal.

Inter, Thuram not recovered

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Marcus Thuram was still absent during Inter’s training session today.

The striker will not return even against Fiorentina. The club hopes to have him back for Verona and Kairat Almaty.

Napoli, Spinazzola’s renewal close

Napoli continues its daily work on the pitch with the goal of defending the Scudetto won last season, while the management focuses on renewing contracts for the most important players. Among them stands out Leonardo Spinazzola, a key piece in Antonio Conte’s setup and a mainstay on the left flank.

According to journalist Nicolò Schira, the Azzurri are ready to secure the 1993-born winger with a new contract until 2027, which could be extended to 2028 if certain conditions are met. A strategic move that confirms Conte’s complete trust in the former Roma player.

Roma, Ferguson to return to Brighton in January?

Evan Ferguson seems increasingly on the fringes of Roma’s technical project. The Irish striker, who arrived in the summer from Brighton on loan with an option to buy set at €40 million, has failed to make the expected impact and has gradually lost ground in Gian Piero Gasperini’s attacking hierarchy.

As reported by SportMediaset, the Giallorossi club is considering the possibility of ending the loan early and returning the player to Brighton. Such a decision would open the door to a new move in the January transfer window, with management ready to look for a striker better suited to Gasperini’s tactical needs.

Lazio, not just Insigne: Sarri wants Ilic

Maurizio Sarri has sent a clear message to Lazio’s management: after a disappointing summer transfer window, the coach is demanding reinforcements to relaunch the Biancocelesti project. The “Commander” wants to resume the interrupted rebuilding process and expects concrete answers as early as January.

According to Il Messaggero, Sarri has identified two ideal profiles for his style of play: Lorenzo Insigne and Ivan Ilic. The former could return to Italy after his Canadian experience to rediscover his best form under the Tuscan coach, while the Serbian midfielder, on the fringes at Baroni’s Torino, remains a long-standing target for Lazio.

Fiorentina, Italiano will not be at the Franchi

Vincenzo Italiano will not be on the bench at the Franchi for the match between Fiorentina and Bologna. The Rossoblù coach, still recovering from pneumonia, will remain hospitalized at Sant’Orsola to complete antibiotic therapy. Despite his absence, he has closely followed preparations for the match against his former team, maintaining constant contact with staff and players.

As reported by the Corriere dello Sport, Italiano spoke via video call with his assistant Daniel Niccolini and the team, emphasizing the difficulties of the trip to Florence and the importance of a determined attitude. After last season’s lackluster performance at the Franchi, the coach has asked his players to play with intensity and aggression to bring home a positive result.
