The transfer market is now behind us, and it's time to focus on the game itself. The Coppa Italia resumes this evening with Inter-Torino, continuing tomorrow with Atalanta-Juventus and next week with Napoli-Como and Bologna-Lazio.
Today, we discuss not only the field but also other topics. Let's look at the most important news of the day in Serie A.
🤑 Juventus, watch out for the free transfer market
Juventus ultimately failed to secure the much-desired striker and thus stayed with David and Openda. However, the club's executives are already working on the free transfer market. Among the most interesting names is Bernardo Silva, a player capable of immediately elevating the team's technical level.
In defense, the focus is on Marcos Senesi, a solid and reliable center-back, and Óscar Mingueza, who is more versatile and able to adapt to different roles. For the wing, the name is Zeki Çelik from Roma. In midfield, the hottest profiles are Xaver Schlager and Franck Kessié. This was revealed by IlBianconero.
🎯 Milan, the market between Kostic, Leao, and... Vlahovic!
Matteo Moretto, speaking in a video on Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel, provided an update on Kostic, Leão's contract renewal, and market rumors related to Vlahovic.
"Milan tried until the end to acquire Kostic from Partizan Belgrade. Initially, he would have been integrated into Milan Futuro. In the coming weeks, the club might attempt to secure him for the summer. Leão has a contract expiring in 2028, the parties are already negotiating, and there is a desire to reach an agreement for the extension. We'll see if offers for the Portuguese player come in the summer."
Finally, on Vlahovic: "Dusan's name has often been linked to Milan. Allegri and the management like the player a lot, but at the moment there is no advanced negotiation. There is interest, but the operation would be quite costly between salary and commissions."
👎 Inter, was it a FLOP market?
During the podcast “La Tripletta” by La Gazzetta dello Sport, journalist Filippo Conticello commented on Inter's market moves, describing them as particularly surprising: “Inter's market was absurd because they dealt with many players, all very close, but without making any concrete acquisitions.”
According to Conticello, Inter was very close to closing a deal for Diaby, with the player himself in favor of the transfer, but the proposed formula—a loan with an option to buy that would become mandatory upon reaching a certain number of appearances—did not convince the Saudis, who blocked the operation. Before Diaby, Cancelo, Perisic, and Jones were also considered; if the latter had arrived, Frattesi would have ended up at Nottingham. In the end, everything concluded with nothing, and Inter's squad remained practically unchanged.
💥 Napoli, Lang: "Left for Conte, I was treated with little honesty"
Noa Lang, sold by Napoli to Galatasaray after six difficult months with little playing time among the Italian champions, spoke about his time in Italy to ESPN.
"I'm not someone who wants to leave after just six months, and I said so. Conte? Nine out of ten people within the club didn't even want me to leave. I felt good in the group and trained hard every day. In the minutes I played, the media spoke poorly of me, but I disagreed."
Lang then added: "I played well according to the style of play we adopted, but my performance needed to improve. The spark with Conte didn't ignite. You also need to be treated honestly, and I didn't have that feeling. Initially, I wanted to fight for my place at Napoli, but there's also a World Cup coming this summer, so my choice takes that into account. I'm a person who needs appreciation and I'm aware of it. If you don't receive it from a certain person, it's difficult."
🏆 Roma, Pellegrini: "A trophy with Roma is worth 1000"
Lorenzo Pellegrini has no doubts when asked about the most beautiful goal of his career: “The free-kick against Lazio”. The Roma midfielder and Adidas ambassador responded during a meeting with about 100 children from the primary school Fiume Giallo of the Matteo Ricci Comprehensive Institute in Rome, an event organized by Sport e Salute and Adidas.
Pellegrini also talked about his trophies: “How many have I won? I won one cup with Roma (the Conference League), but it's as if it's worth a thousand”.
🔙 Lazio, Nuno Tavares returns against Juve!
Important news for Lazio. According to Matteo Petrucci on Radio Laziale, Nuno Tavares will play against Juventus. Romagnoli, on the other hand, should rejoin the group today: “I don't expect two completely different Lazio teams between Torino and Bologna. There will probably be more rotation in attack and a relay between Tavares, who will play against Juventus, and Pellegrini, who will start against Bologna. Reflections will also be made for the important Wednesday match against Bologna, but it's still too early to completely abandon the championship.”
Regarding Basic's renewal, Petrucci added: “There are no particular problems, as far as I know, they won't wait until June. I don't believe the delay is related to Sarri's permanence or not.”
💜 Fiorentina, Gosens' heartfelt choice
Robin Gosens said 'no'. According to Corriere dello Sport, it was the German who rejected the offer from Nottingham Forest, which had contacted Fiorentina to try to bring the former Inter player to the Premier League.
The 31-year-old, however, declined the offer. According to the Corriere, behind the winger's decision is the desire to save his Fiorentina. A heartfelt choice, therefore, in one of the most challenging seasons for both the club and the player.
