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

Juve, Gabriel in January for a reason

Juventus continues to consider reinforcements for the defense and has set its sights on Tiago Gabriel, a revelation from Lecce. The 2004-born player is appreciated for his potential and growth margin, with the Premier League watching closely. As highlighted by Tuttosport, the main advantage is regulatory: being born after January 1, 2003, he would not occupy a slot on the list.

It remains to be seen what the financial demands of the Salentini are, strengthened by English interest after the Dorgu-Manchester United case. The Bianconeri might attempt an approach as early as January, possibly including Next Gen players as a bargaining chip. In the background, Adzic remains a possibility, already followed by Lecce and considered for a potential operation.

Milan, assault on Kristensen in January?

Milan is considering the possibility of moving for Thomas Kristensen as early as January, identified as the ideal profile to complete the defense. La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights how the Dane, physically dominant and solid in setup, has very convincing numbers. However, Udinese is not offering discounts: the valuation, already above 15-20 million, could even rise.

The center-back would be a targeted investment for the Rossoneri's defense, especially with a view to a three-man defense. However, the negotiation risks being challenging: the long contract and the demands of the Friulian club require a complex negotiation. For this reason, Milan is carefully considering the timing and methods of a potential move.

Inter, Akanji on Chivu, derby, and future!

Manuel Akanji, interviewed by SportMediaset after Switzerland's qualification for the World Cup, shared his feelings ahead of the derby: «I'm excited for the derby, I can't wait to play it». The defender explained that he was focused on the national team but is now thinking about the match against Milan and admits: «I haven't scored yet, I hope it happens soon».

Regarding the future, the center-back stated: «I hope to stay at Inter for the coming years», also praising his coach: «Chivu is young, but I really like how he communicates and approaches the team». Finally, the goal is clear: «Scudetto? Absolutely yes!».

Napoli leaving Maradona? Clash over new stadium

The ZES service conference on the new stadium at Caramanico presented by Aurelio De Laurentiis ended with a "suspension," as reported by Il Mattino. The halt freezes the terms and allows for the evaluation of observations from the Municipality and Metropolitan City, which have expressed doubts about feasibility. In the background, there is also the political will to avoid tensions during the election period.

The discussion highlighted the issue of market traders, opposed to relocation but reassured about their future. The Municipality does not rule out a new facility but remains committed to the Maradona's restyling for EURO 2032. Napoli reiterates its stance: it's impossible to redevelop the Maradona, open only to Caramanico or other alternative sites, while three main issues highlighted by the Municipality remain to be resolved.

Roma, interest in Tel from Tottenham

Roma is considering a move in the January market and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the most concrete name is Mathys Tel from Tottenham. The idea would be a loan: the Giallorossi would immediately have an impactful winger, the player would find space, and the Spurs could enhance him. The profile is appealing for speed, positioning, and offensive versatility, qualities useful to Gasperini.

The Frenchman, with 83 games at Bayern and some experience in the Premier League, has found little playing time in London: only eight appearances and no Champions League after Kolo Muani's arrival. For this reason, Tel is seeking a central role and continuity. A loan to Roma would become an ideal solution, allowing the club to strengthen and the forward to make an immediate impact.

Lazio, new stop: Hysaj injured

Lazio faces a new physical problem during the break: Il Messaggero reports that Elseid Hysaj experienced hip discomfort while with Albania against England, leaving the field in the first half. He returned to Formello yesterday, did not train with the group, and remained at rest.

His condition will be reassessed ahead of Sunday's match against Lecce, valid for the league's resumption. A positive note for Sarri comes from Nuno Tavares, who has finally resumed training with the group after a calf injury.

Fiorentina, Vanoli wants his protégé in January

Fiorentina wants to make a move in the January market, and Paolo Vanoli has requested immediate reinforcements, focusing on profiles he knows well. As reported by FiorentinaUno, the coach has identified one of his former players: Tanner Tessman, a midfielder who broke through with him at Venezia and is now at Lyon, valued at around 15 million. Also in the sights is Lovric, a protagonist in past seasons at Udinese but now relegated to a reserve role.

Another idea leads to Eric Martel from Cologne, born in 2002, considered an investment for the future with a contract expiring in June. Sporting director Goretti is evaluating these three profiles while the club must operate within the constraints of Financial Fair Play. The goal is to strengthen the defense and midfield with immediately usable additions favored by Vanoli.
