As for Serie A, let’s take a look at the most important news of the day.
Juve-Chuki: transfer battle with Como
Iván San José Cantalejo, better known as Chuki, is enjoying an outstanding season with Real Valladolid. His high-level performances have attracted the interest of several European clubs, ready to make a move for the 2004-born player. As reported by Tutto Juve, the Spanish talent is now one of the hottest names on the market.
Attention is also high in Serie A, and the race seems to be narrowing down to two teams. Again according to Tutto Juve, Como and Juventus are the most active and are closely monitoring the situation. A real duel is therefore shaping up to secure one of the most exciting prospects around right now.
Milan-Lewa: Tare pushes, Furlani holds back
Robert Lewandowski is shaping up to be one of the hottest names in the upcoming summer transfer window, with Milan already moving to get ahead of the competition. As reported by calciomercato.com, contacts with agent Pini Zahavi have been ongoing for months, and Igli Tare has also reportedly met the manager in Milan to set up the deal.
The Rossoneri’s idea is to pull off another highly experienced free transfer, but not everyone is convinced. As highlighted by Corriere della Sera and confirmed by calciomercato.com, CEO Giorgio Furlani is holding back on the deal, preferring to focus on a younger and more financially sustainable profile.
Inter-Barça, hot axis: Bastoni and swap idea
Alessandro Bastoni is increasingly in Barcelona’s sights, with the club considering him a priority to strengthen the defense. The blaugrana’s interest could open the door to a broader negotiation scenario between the two clubs. As reported by Pasquale Guarro on X, the talks could also include player exchanges.
Among the names being considered by Inter is Héctor Fort, a young Barcelona-owned player currently on loan at Elche. Again according to Guarro, his profile could be part of the Bastoni deal, creating a possible transfer-market link-up between the two clubs.
Napoli, Lukaku case: heavy fine on the way
The Romelu Lukaku case remains open, and Napoli are working to manage the situation upon the striker’s return. Sporting director Manna is in constant contact with the player’s entourage, while Antonio Conte will decide on any possible measures. As reported by Il Mattino, tensions remain high around the Belgian.
Conte is said to have been very disappointed, and a sanction now appears inevitable. Again according to the Naples-based newspaper, the club is leaning toward a four-figure fine, with the possibility that it will be donated to charity, while his return is set for around April 20.
Roma, Totti in place of Ranieri?
Francesco Totti’s return to Roma is in a holding pattern after the Friedkins offered him an ambassador role limited to the club’s centenary celebrations. The former captain is reportedly unconvinced and, as reported by La Repubblica, has asked for time while reiterating his desire for a more central position. The idea of a purely symbolic role, in fact, does not satisfy his ambitions.
Contacts have cooled in recent weeks, also because the ownership sees him as a figurehead, while Totti wants to have an impact on the sporting project. Again according to La Repubblica and La Gazzetta dello Sport, the idea of a consultant role is gaining traction, especially in the event of Ranieri’s departure and with Gasperini in favor of a more hands-on presence.
Lazio, battle for Sogliano with Roma?
Sean Sogliano is one of the most highly regarded executives in Serie A, and his future could soon change. In recent weeks, as reported by Alfredo Pedullà and picked up by TMW, Lazio have shown interest in Verona’s current transfer chief, considering him for the sporting director role.
At the same time, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma are also said to be considering a possible move in management. Sogliano’s name is in fact among those being evaluated for the club’s future structure, although for now it is only speculation with no concrete developments.
Fiorentina, Mandragora: “I want to remain a leader”
Rolando Mandragora is looking to the future with clarity and reiterating his bond with Fiorentina. The midfielder stressed that he believes in the Viola project and wants to continue being one of its key figures. As reported by FirenzeViola, his wish is to become a cornerstone of the team in the coming seasons as well.
His words confirm a strong identification with the environment and with the path the club has taken. Again according to FirenzeViola, Mandragora is not hiding his ambition to grow further within Fiorentina, aiming for an increasingly central role in the development of the technical project.
