There are still two weeks until the start of the winter session, but the teams are already working to secure the most anticipated reinforcements. Below are the main news stories of the day.

👀 Juve, reinforcement coming in midfield?

Juventus continues to focus on quality young players to strengthen Luciano Spalletti's midfield. Looking ahead to the winter transfer window, one name gaining traction is Morten Frendrup, a Danish midfielder born in 2001 and a key player for Genoa.

According to La Repubblica, the deal could heat up in the coming weeks. The rossoblù club does not rule out negotiations even during the current season, provided that offers deemed adequate are received. 

🫶 Thiago Silva and the romantic return to Milan

The possible return of Thiago Silva to Milan continues to fascinate fans, but for now it remains more of a suggestion than a concrete possibility. TMW clarifies that there are small glimmers, but no real intention from the club to turn the idea into a negotiation. 

The management's position, with Igli Tare at the forefront, is quite clear: a profile like Thiago Silva cannot be considered a simple alternative. Without European competitions and with a defense that is working well, Milan does not want to disrupt the balance of the Tomori-Gabbia-Pavlovic trio. Therefore, regardless of age and the RedBird profile, the approach remains one of caution: the door is slightly ajar.

🧤 Inter looking for Sommer’s successor

Inter is already looking to the future and planning a real revolution between the posts for next summer. Sommer’s cycle is set to end and, according to the nerazzurri management, the future will not involve Josep Martinez, who is seen more as a backup than a first choice.

According to Tuttosport, topping the list is Guglielmo Vicario, goalkeeper for Tottenham, who might consider a return to Serie A. But Marotta and Ausilio also have Noah Atubolu, born in 2002 and playing for Freiburg, on their radar. Between established certainties and prospective gambles, the post-Sommer era has already begun.

🔥 Striker on the move: Juve is interested

Juventus has set its sights on Lorenzo Lucca. According to TMW, the Bianconeri are looking for reinforcements up front after Vlahovic’s injury, and the former Napoli striker could be an interesting solution.

However, the situation is not straightforward: Napoli would need to buy out Lucca from Udinese before the summer in order to consider a loan with option to buy by the Bianconeri in January.

✍️ The contract renewal situation at Roma

At Roma, contract renewals remain a delicate issue. Sporting director Frederic Massara has decided to postpone any discussions until next spring, avoiding any rush due to the constraints imposed by financial fair play.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the most complex case concerns Paulo Dybala, the highest-paid player in the squad at around 8 million net per season: any renewal proposal will have to start from at least half that amount. The situation is similar for Lorenzo Pellegrini, who earns nearly 6.5 million per year including bonuses.

The picture is different for Zeki Çelik, appreciated for his reliability and versatility, whose renewal seems almost certain, while for Stephan El Shaarawy, his stay will depend on his willingness to accept a more marginal role in the team.

⚔️ Lazio prepares for the derby in the transfer market

Lazio is preparing for the derby with Roma also in the transfer market, targeting Giacomo Raspadori. The former Sassuolo and Napoli talent is struggling to find playing time at Atletico Madrid, and a return to Serie A could offer him valuable minutes and continuity.

According to Repubblica, Lazio would like him as their starting striker, possibly at the expense of Castellanos, while at Roma Raspadori could play either as a central forward or as support for the main striker, offering greater tactical flexibility to Gian Piero Gasperini.

🔙 Farewell Dzeko: reunion with a friend?

Edin Dzeko’s adventure at Fiorentina seems to be coming to an end, and the future of the Bosnian striker remains shrouded in mystery. There is no shortage of options in Serie A, as highlighted by Corriere dello Sport.

In January, the former Inter and City striker could move on and end his career at another club. In fact, Genoa, led by his friend De Rossi, appears to have shown interest, while Cagliari remains a more distant option.
