Meanwhile, the Italian teams continue to work ahead of the transfer market and their upcoming matches. Let’s take a look at today’s biggest news.
Juve, battle with Real for Stiller
As reported by Tuttosport, Juventus are pushing strongly for Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller. Bianconeri scouts will be in Germany this weekend to monitor him closely.
But beware of competition from Los Blancos, with Real Madrid ready to join the race for the midfielder, who has a release clause of more than €36 million.
Milan, Goretzka wants Champions League football
Milan are looking at Leon Goretzka’s profile to strengthen their midfield. The player, as reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, would be interested in a destination that guarantees him Champions League football.
If the Rossoneri fail to qualify for the Champions League, the problems would not only be financial but also related to their attractiveness on the transfer market.
Inter, Curtis Jones fully open to the move
According to Fabrizio Romano, Curtis Jones has given Inter his full approval. The 2001-born midfielder wants to play in Italy and had already made himself available to Inter back in January, before the transfer was blocked by the Reds.
His contract expires in 2027, so everything will depend on the price Liverpool set.
Napoli, Lukaku in town and meeting with Conte
Romelu Lukaku’s agent, Federico Pastorello, told DAZN that there will be a meeting between Big Rom and Antonio Conte in the coming days: the coach will decide, but it looks like their paths are destined to part.
In the meantime, the Belgian striker has returned to training at Castel Volturno and “completed an individual session,” as reported by the club itself.
Roma, shocking words over the derby at 12:30
The decision to schedule the Rome derby for 12:30 on Sunday, May 17 has sparked plenty of controversy, which is bound to grow after the words of Serie A president Ezio Simonelli:
“Matches at 20:45 cannot be watched in the East. In two weeks there will be the Rome derby at 12:30: beyond the reasons why it is being played at that time, there is the positive possibility that the match will be watched in the East.”
Lazio, Sarri will rely on Rovella in the cup
Lazio get Nicolò Rovella back at a key moment in the season. Maurizio Sarri has a lot of faith in the midfielder, who is expected to bring quality and tempo to the team in this final stretch of the campaign, with the aim of finishing as strongly as possible.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, his presence in the Coppa Italia final against Inter is certain.
Fiorentina, Paratici gives priority to Vanoli
The FirenzeViola portal takes stock of Fiorentina’s plans for next season: sporting director Fabio Paratici is working to build a solid project and has a meeting with Paolo Vanoli on his agenda.
The initial idea would be to continue together, but at the moment there are no certainties, which in any case will have to be resolved as soon as possible. There is strong competition for Sarri, Grosso, or Iraola.
