Today, the Champions League takes the stage for the second day, with Juve and Napoli on the field and called to face two tough opponents, such as Villarreal and Sporting Lisbon.
Let's discover the most important news of the day, concerning the top clubs of the top league.
Juve, hunting for a midfielder: the names for January
As the January transfer window approaches, Juventus is considering midfield reinforcements. Physicality and running are needed to fill the void left by Thuram: among the profiles followed are Milinkovic-Savic, a possible return from Arabia, and the young Bouaddi from Lille, valued at 30 million; reports calciomercato.com.
Also on the notebook are Kessié, Frendrup and the dream Tonali, a luxury option only for the summer. As reported, the immediate goal is to give Tudor a "Tudorian" midfielder as early as January, so as not to risk being uncovered in a decisive season.
Milan, behind the scenes on the fight between Allegri and Ibra
Milan has started the season well, but to remain competitive reinforcements will be needed in January. The most difficult department remains the defense, with Tare already at work for the market. According to calciomercato.com, the only change on the left is Bartesaghi, also adaptable as a wing-back, while De Winter guarantees versatility.
The Rossoneri would still need a fast and strong central defender in aerial play. One name followed is Joe Gomez, on the fringes of Liverpool with Slot and already close to the Devil in the summer. The French and German tracks also remain open, possible lands of opportunities.
Inter, Frattesi and C. Augusto's agents alerted
According to Tuttomercatoweb, at Inter the renewals of Sommer, Acerbi, De Vrij, Darmian and Mkhitaryan are being considered, but for now without concrete developments. At the same time, the management wants to secure Frattesi and Carlos Augusto, both under contract until 2028: the former decisive with heavy goals, the latter always reliable.
Chivu considers the two elements valuable even though they are not fixed starters. Already in the summer he blocked any sales, rejecting the surveys for Carlos Augusto and clarifying that Frattesi can only leave for very high figures. Their renewals will soon become a hot topic in the Nerazzurri house.
Napoli, Mainoo in January?
Napoli is already looking at the January market and is thinking again about Kobe Mainoo. According to Fabrizio Romano, the young Manchester United midfielder, already close to saying goodbye in the summer, continues to find little space with Amorim. For this reason, the Red Devils could open up to a sale to guarantee him playing time.
The Azzurri have already sounded out the ground in the last days of the market and remain vigilant, also in view of the Africa Cup which will deprive Conte of Anguissa. Mainoo would have given his approval to the destination Napoli, where he would find his former teammates Hojlund and McTominay.
Roma-Dyabala for life?
According to the Corriere dello Sport Roma is ready to discuss the renewal of Paulo Dybala. The Joya's contract expires in June, but within the month the agent will meet Massara and Ranieri to negotiate. The Argentine dreams of ending his career in Giallorosso and the club is convinced that investing in him is the right choice.
It is impossible to think of identical figures to the current ones: Dybala would be willing to reduce his salary in exchange for a multi-year agreement. The idea is a three or four-year contract, almost for life, but first the striker wants to give convincing answers on the field.
Lazio, risk of new market block?
Lazio is preparing the January market with the aim of moving at least at zero balance. As reported by Il Messaggero, the summer sales of Casale and Tchaouna have allowed a margin, but every purchase will have to correspond to a departure of equal engagement. The verdict of the Control Commission on Lotito's move related to a credit in the balance sheet will also be decisive.
The real knot remains, however, the summer: the risk is a new total block of operations if in March the accounts do not respect the parameters between expenses and revenues. Lotito's priority therefore becomes to increase revenues, between sponsors, assets and European cups, to avert a paralysis that would hinder any future planning.
Fiorentina, Piccoli: "The figure? Just standard"
After a difficult start in the league, Fiorentina seeks redemption in the Conference League. Tomorrow at Franchi the debut against Sigma Olomouc. Roberto Piccoli, in conference, underlined: "We have to work as we are doing and give something more, work always pays off".
The striker then added: "It's a great emotion to play this first game, my family will be there and we want the victory". On his economic evaluation: "An honor but it does not weigh on me, I bring dynamism and presence in the area". Finally the recipe: "We will need to be more cynical to bring home the result".
