But it’s not just on-field matters making headlines in Italy today. Let’s take a look at the day’s most important stories.
Juve, hijack from Napoli! Move for Anguissa
With contract renewal talks seemingly having definitively stalled, Napoli could be forced to consider selling Frank Zambo Anguissa as early as the next summer transfer window, to avoid the risk of losing him on a free in 2027.
As reported by Tuttosport, Juventus have set their sights on the Cameroonian midfielder, viewing him as a possible reinforcement for Luciano Spalletti’s midfield. The 1995-born player is in any case part of a long list of profiles being tracked by the Bianconeri management, which also includes Franck Kessié, Leon Goretzka, Xaver Schlager, Assan Ouedraogo and Ismaël Koné.
Milan, Füllkrug’s future decided!
It now seems almost certain that Milan will not exercise their option to buy Niclas Füllkrug, the striker who arrived in January from West Ham on loan with a €5 million option. At the end of the season, the player will therefore return to the London club, although his future does not appear to be in the Premier League.
As reported by Sky Sport DE journalist Florian Plettenberg, Wolfsburg are already considering a possible summer move for the German center-forward. His contract with West Ham would remain valid even in the event of relegation, albeit with a 50% salary reduction.
Inter, from Spain: “Bastoni will force the issue!”
The future of Alessandro Bastoni is still entirely unwritten. As is now well known, the defender has long been on Barcelona’s radar, with the club considering a possible move next season. Inter’s position, however, remains clear: the Nerazzurri have no intention of easily parting with one of the pillars of Chivu’s team. The player would be willing to listen to any proposals, but without going so far as to force a move away from Milan. Much will therefore depend on the financial offer that may eventually land on Inter’s table.
According to Mundo Deportivo, however, the situation may be further along: Bastoni is said to be thrilled by the idea of joining Barcelona and willing to help make the deal happen. Contacts between his entourage and the blaugrana club are reportedly already underway, with the defender determined to push for a reduction in the transfer fee once the green light arrives from Deco and Flick.
Napoli, Lukaku’s physio: “He was fed up!”
The showdown between Romelu Lukaku and Napoli is drawing closer. The striker is in fact expected at Castel Volturno on Monday, where he will also be informed of possible sanctions following the incidents of recent weeks and his unauthorized stay in his home country.
Meanwhile, Big Rom’s physiotherapist, Lieven Maesschalck, spoke from Belgium and offered reassurance about the striker’s condition:
“Everything is going according to plan: Romelu is almost ready. He has worked intensely over the last 14 days, on average 4 hours a day, mainly on his fitness. He was fed up with the situation that had developed and wanted to get back to 100%.”
Roma, Ranieri present at the stadium today
The Olimpico is preparing to welcome Claudio Ranieri, who is expected in the stands for tonight’s match. The Giallorossi coach will watch the game from the stands, where he will sit alongside Frederic Massara, in what is being seen as a normal show of executive presence within the club.
It remains to be seen whether he will also speak to the media after the chaos of recent days.
Lazio, the figures behind the deal with the new sponsor
Lazio have officially announced their new main sponsor: it is the American company Polymarket, which will appear on the Biancocelesti shirts starting from the coming seasons. The statement reads:
“The agreement will take effect immediately and, in addition to the final part of the current sporting season, will cover the 2026/2027 and 2027/2028 seasons, with an option for the 2028/2029 season. The total value of the deal exceeds $22 million, with additional bonuses tied to performance and activations.”
Fiorentina, three names for the bench!
The new head coach and the future of Moise Kean are the two missing pieces in Fiorentina’s build for next season. According to La Nazione, sporting director Paratici will be called upon to make key decisions immediately after the match against Lecce, when survival should by then be virtually secured.
The coaching choice will be the top priority, with several profiles on the table: from Fabio Grosso, who would first have to leave Sassuolo, to Maurizio Sarri, an option that remains in the background amid openings and second thoughts. Also among the candidates is Francesco Farioli, previously linked with Fiorentina, a young profile considered ideal for a modern and ambitious project.
