Juventus were soundly beaten in an embarrassing 3-0 victory at home against Lazio on Sunday evening, and to make matters worse for the Bianconeri, Francisco Conceicao is now looking at up to a month on the sidelines as the club fear he has suffered a dislocated shoulder.
Goals from Oliver Provstgaard, Gustav Isaksen and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru gave Lazio a 3-0 victory away against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night, which has sent Gennaro Gattuso's side back to the top of the Serie A standings along with Inter, while the Bianconeri sit eight points off the lead after seven league games in 2026-27.

This result leaves Juventus in a worse position after seven matches of the 2026-27 season than they were at the same stage last year, just before previous head coach Igor Tudor was given his marching orders.
To make matters worse, the club are concerned that Conceicao has dislocated his shoulder, according to Monday's reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Milan picked up a 3-2 victory over Atalanta on Sunday evening to keep their unbeaten start to the 2026-27 Serie A season alive, but newspapers in Italy have highlighted a 'growing problem' with the Rossoneri under recently-appointed head coach Ruben Amorim.
Milan were 3-0 up after an hour thanks to goals from Goncalo Ramos, Adrien Rabiot and Mario Gila in San Siro. Record signing Ramos had an opportunity to make it four from the penalty spot, but was unable to convert at the second time of asking.

From there, Atalanta began to grow back into proceedings, reducing the deficit through Gianluca Gaetano in the 66th minute and then again through Nikola Krstovic in the 81st. It was a nervous wait for the final whistle for Milan from there on in, with a few important saves from goalkeeper Mike Maignan to keep the victory intact.
Post-match reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Milan are 'on the right track' under Amorim, but a 'growing issue' has been identified. The Pink Paper suggests that Amorim's system simply demands too much from the Milan players on a physical level, which might explain why the team seem unable to keep the same level of performance for the full 90 minutes.

Roma will host Slovan Bratislava tomorrow evening (9:00 PM) at the Stadio Olimpico, a match valid for the third round of the Champions League league format.
The Giallorossi are desperate to secure all three points, having started their European campaign with a draw at Fenerbahçe and a home defeat against Real Madrid.
A surprise attack is not out of the question ahead of the European night.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the possibility of seeing Castro and Malen on the pitch together is rising. Gasperini himself mentioned this after the win against Genoa.
Malen and Castro could have a chance from the start against Slovan Bratislava. The two forwards, as has been seen this season, are generally alternates.

Former Inter defender Marco Materazzi feels José Mourinho wouldn't have subbed Rasmus Hojlund off, as Massimiliano Allegri did against Inter last weekend, but Federico Dimarco's absence will be 'significant' at the Bernabéu tonight.
Inter and Mourinho reunite at the Bernabéu tonight in the opening round of the 2026-27 Champions League, at the same venue where the Special One lifted the Champions League as the Nerazzurri coach in 2010.
Materazzi built a strong bond with Mourinho during the Portuguese's two-year spell at San Siro and recently met the Special One in Italy: "José took a plane specifically to record that footage, and he told me again: 'You and John Terry, the most important centre-backs of my career'," Materazzi told Gazzetta.
The former Italy defender, a 2006 Italy World Cup winner, is certainly not surprised that Real Madrid hired Mou last summer.
"No, because I know the relationship he has with Florentino, how much he trusts José," he said.

Juventus and Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon feels the Bianconeri have 'an advantage' against Milan this evening and reveals he told Guglielmo Vicario to 'enjoy the experience' at the Allianz Stadium, after his move from Tottenham.
Juventus and Milan meet at the Allianz Stadium in Turin this evening.
Both sides have won their opening two Serie A games of the campaign and will be looking to catch Inter and Roma, who already have nine points after winning their third consecutive game yesterday against Napoli and Atalanta, respectively.

Serie A side Juventus signed Nick Woltemade on loan from Newcastle United late in the summer transfer window. While the German is yet to make his debut for the Bianconeri, big praise has come from Juve legend Gianluigi Buffon.
The Germany international has a frustrating 2025/26 campaign with the Magpies. Ex-Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe often used him deeper on the pitch and this led to a fall in prominence.
A move to Juventus is now viewed as a shot at redemption. Buffon spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport about Juve's business in the summer and placed special emphasis on Woltemade.
The ex-keeper said: "I'm curious about Woltemade. I want to see if his physicality, his 198 centimeters (6'4") combined with excellent technique, will be as dominant as I expect."
Buffon also revealed belief that Woltemade can make the same impact as Zlatan Ibrahimovic during his younger days.

Franco Mastantuono explains why he realised Fiorentina was 'perfect' to flourish on loan from Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho's advice, and admiring Paulo Dybala and Gabriel Batistuta.
The Argentina international was a sensation when Real Madrid invested €45m to buy him from River Plate in 2025, but with very little opportunity for regular playing time, it was decided to send him out on loan.
There were several alternative clubs interested in using the teenager, but he picked Fiorentina.

"I thought about Serie A, a competitive league that has always attracted me, the importance of the club and the many Argentines who wrote history here," Mastantuono told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

In a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rasmus Højlund discussed, among other things, his time at Manchester United.
When asked about his thoughts on why things didn't work out at Old Trafford, Højlund singled out the arrival of Ruben Amorim after Erik ten Hag's dismissal.
"I don't think anything specific went wrong. I arrived at a club with a manager: it was a difficult year, with many injuries, but we won the FA Cup and I was the top scorer. Then we went through a difficult period and Amorim arrived, an excellent coach but with a different playing style. The team had to adapt, and it was complicated. We all struggled. My first year was a success, the second wasn't. But I played in the Europa League final; if we had won, it would have been a different story. That's football: sometimes it goes well, other times it goes badly, but I'm very happy to have played for the club I dreamed of as a child."
The young Dane moved to Man United ahead of the 2023/24 season from Atalanta on the back of a €79.8m move. In his debut season, he made 43 appearances across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing two ****** ists. In his second season, he managed just ten goals and four ****** ists in 52 appearances. Thus followed a season-long loan at Napoli, which was made permanent this summer for €44 million.
The price tag definitely did not help matters for Højlund. While teams often go out of their way to sign players for beyond-reason prices, something United have been particularly wont to do, those price tags do dictate how a player's time at the club is perceived, even when players often hardly play a role in deciding the fee agreed between the negotiating clubs.

From Atalanta to Roma, from the transfer market to Scudetto dreams, passing through Dybala, Malen, Mora, and the Champions League.
Gian Piero Gasperini opens up about his career in a long interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, on the eve of the match against his past. An inevitably special reunion: "We parted ways with Atalanta at the right time. Tomorrow will be like a lover reuniting with his ex, but Roma has given me new goals. I'm happy here."
Gasperini has also been captivated by the capital: "The most beautiful thing I've seen is the Sistine Chapel, but the tomb of St. Peter also moved me."
Meanwhile, he's enjoying a team that started strong and an atmosphere that has started to dream again.
Cristante and Pellegrini have spoken openly about the Scudetto and the Circus Maximus, but the coach has no intention of dampening their enthusiasm: "You can never stifle dreams. The important thing is knowing that, when the alarm goes off, reality is something else. Then, if you live reality the right way, you can also make it match your dreams."

Fikayo Tomori is set to be reinstated into the first-team squad at Milan, having failed to agree terms with Fulham.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the English defender was in London recently with his agents to discuss terms over a move to Fulham, but the West London outfit did not manage to come to an agreement with Milan. There were no conditions to do so, as even the player could never agree personal terms with the London side.
Tomori is now back at Milanello, where he's expected to rejoin Ruben Amorim's squad. The Portuguese coach had made it clear to Tomori throughout pre-season that he could leave, but he's happy to welcome him back into the fray, with the 28-year-old also keen to fight for his place at the club. This was communicated to the defender in a phonecall with the Portuguese just after the Fulham move broke down.
The Chelsea academy graduate was subject to interest from several Premier League sides, with with Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest having considered making a move for him before Fulham entered the fray.
That Milan did not manage to sign another centre-back is another key reason for Tomori's quick reintegration into the squad. He's even going to take back his #23 shirt. Matteo Gabbia's recent issues with an ankle discomfort could even see him make the bench against Juventus on Sunday.

Fabio Capello gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport in which he discussed Roma, who, after two 4-0 wins against Fiorentina and Lecce, are now bidding to challenge Inter for the Scudetto.
The former Giallorossi coach was eloquent: "I would be very wary of Roma as Inter's main rival for the Scudetto. What I saw yesterday in Lecce is nothing more than confirmation of what I had highlighted."
"Roma have essentially returned to playing as they finished last season: they have shown they have no integration issues, they don't need to do anything different."
"Gasperini knows his players perfectly, and the players know the coach perfectly: they go onto the pitch and replicate what they did in the final stages of last season, when they came back to qualify for the Champions League."
Fabio Capello spoke about integrating players who arrived during the summer transfer window: "When you see everyone in a team running and fighting, those who join integrate quickly. It's not a team that needs to do something different or new, so that's the job. The others are already doing it well, so there's nothing extra."

Lazio are facing an uphill challenge in their quest to sign Juventus winger Edon Zhegrova, as Matteo Cancellieri has reportedly rejected his most keen admirers.
Earlier this week, the Kosovar international emerged as a target for the Biancocelesti, who would like to bolster their flanks after sorting out other departments by signing Alfonso Pedraza, Danilho Doekhi, Davide Frattesi, Josip Sutalo, and most recently Andrea Pinamonti.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Lazio are hoping to acquire Zhegrova on loan with an option to buy from Juventus. The 27-year-old's current net salary is €2.5 million per year, so the Biancocelesti should be able to cover it. However, the pink newspaper insists that the arrival of the former LOSC Lille player would only be plausible if Cancellieri were to leave.
Over the past few days, the Roman winger has been linked with several Serie A clubs, with Genoa making the most concrete offer. But according to Italian journalist Damiano Er Faina, Cancellieri is refusing to join Daniele De Rossi's team.
The 24-year-old might be holding out for a more prestigious destination, like Fiorentina or Bologna, who have more ambitious projects and are aiming to fight for European slots. Perhaps he would end up reconsidering his decision if no other offers arrive, as he risks spending his campaign on the bench, since Gustav Isaksen is reportedly ahead of him in Gennaro Gattuso's pecking order.

Hakan Calhanoglu and Inter have decided to play out the final year of his deal without discussing an extension this summer, which has been free of transfer market-related tribulations, unlike the previous ones.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the decision came more from the team than the player. The Nerazzurri don't question his quality but want to see how he holds up physically. He was productive but fragile last year. He missed nearly half of the matches because of a few different injuries.
Calhanoglu has flirted a few times with Galatasaray and could indeed head to Turkey after his time with Inter is over. However, if this campaign goes well, a renewal wouldn't be out of the question. The 'regista' remains central in Christian Chivu's plans. Piotr Zielinski has filled in nicely in the role last year, and the gaffer is trying to turn Aleksandar Stankovic into a deep-lying playmaker, but the 32-year-old is by far the top option when healthy.
The manager is a big fan of the midfielder. He significantly helped ease tensions in the locker room after his past sagas. In particular, the veteran had more than one foot out the door after the Club World Cup. He even quarreled with some teammates, but then the situation was eventually resolved.
It'd be strange if things were already decided with a year to go; otherwise, the Nerazzurri would have probably considered a sale, even though it wouldn't have fetched enough to acquire a worthy replacement. It'll also depend on his demands, as his salary is robust. Injuries have indeed become a problem, but he has a few more good campaigns in him in a part-time role.

German national team coach Jürgen Klopp has already spoken with several Bundesliga coaches, including Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany:
During his first few weeks in charge, Jürgen Klopp held long conversations with Bundesliga coaches, including Vincent Kompany, Niko Kovač and Sebastian Hoeneß. Klopp wants to work with them closely and stay in regular contact. He has also spoken to the coaches of Germany's youth teams and made it clear to them that they're part of the process and are very important to him. Klopp attaches a lot of importance to attending games regularly in stadiums. After last week's Super Cup, he will also attend Friday's Bundesliga opener at Allianz Arena.
Klopp is trying as best he can to get a read on his talent pool and taking in feedback from some of the most important managers in Germany's top tier. Sure, you can say that is what he is supposed to do, but it is reassuring that he — so far — is able to juggle managing the here and now, while also working to establish new initiatives for the future.
Juventus is still trying to sort out its desire to bring in a new attacker:
Juventus are unimpressed with Randal Kolo Muani's performances since his return to the club and are now looking at Atlético Madrid striker Alexander Sørloth, Gazzetta dello Sport reports. The Norway international is being favoured over Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee because it is felt that his characteristics would be a better fit. Nicolas González could be used as part of a deal to bring the costs down, especially as the 28-year-old wants to continue with Atleti following the expiration of his loan.

Juventus are continuing to trim fat, but it's still not enough to finally table their offer for Frank Kessié, and Roma have entered the race, joining Al-Ittihad and other Saudi sides that would cover him in gold to keep him in their league, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
After releasing Arthur Melo, the Bianconeri will bid farewell to Fabio Miretti. He'll move to Besiktas, like Dusan Vlahovic, on a loan with a conditional obligation to buy. The Old Lady also completed Michele Di Gregorio's exit and Kamil Grabara's arrival, with a temporary formula with a €12M acquisition clause. Instead, Mattia Perin transferred to Palermo on a €500k move.
On the other hand, the recent departures don't suffice yet for Juventus to really step up their Kessié pursuit. They have to find a solution for the burdensome Teun Koopmeiners, Jonathan David, and Nicolas Gonzalez. Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik are also on the chopping block.
In the meantime, Roma have shown some interest in the Ivorian powerhouse, who broke out under Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta. They have skirted the Manchester United threat for Manu Koné, as the Red Devils completed their midfield with Carlos Baleba. Other sides could be keen on him, but Neil El Aynaoui is a more precarious spot now.
They shouldn't waste any more time and should sign him in after managing to have a hold on him for so long, and worry about the departures later. Koopmeiners is the main Gordian knot, but there may also be issues with his personal terms. It's been a while since the capital club signed a veteran with bloated wages, even though Gasperini surely wouldn't mind.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Chelsea have opened preliminary talks with Atalanta and the entourage of Italy international Honest Ahanor.
Chelsea are interested in Atalanta defender Ahanor, and according to Gazzetta, the Blues have opened preliminary talks with both the Serie A club and the player's agents.

Atalanta already rejected a €34m offer from Brighton earlier this summer, and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli reiterated in July that they are unwilling to sell any of their best and most promising players, including Ahanor.
The 18-year-old defender joined Atalanta from Genoa in a €16m deal in 2025.

From a potential departure to a player Gian Piero Gasperini wants to continue working on.
The situation surrounding Robinio Vaz, the young Roma striker who managed to gain the trust of the Giallorossi coach during preseason training, has changed over the summer.
At the start of the training camp, the Frenchman's future seemed unclear, with the possibility of a temporary transfer to allow him to find greater consistency.
As the weeks passed, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport, however, Vaz's quality and room for growth have won over Gasperini.
The coach has decided to work directly with the player, attempting to develop his skills and establish him as a permanent fixture in the first team's attacking rotation.

Inter will welcome their only target for the midfield before the opener, as they have reached an agreement with Liverpool to acquire Curtis Jones. They have been courting him since the beginning of the summer. While he was immediately keen on joining, concocting the deal took some work, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.
In the end, the Reds lowered their demands a little. The Englishman is transferring for €30M, plus €5M add-ons and a 10 percent sell-on clause. He'll sign a five-year contract and make about €4M annually.
Jones is the third player signed by Inter coming from the Premier League this summer after John Stones and Djed Spence. Liverpool ultimately granted a small discount to avoid a Bosman departure in a year. The midfielder seemingly only wanted to head to San Siro.
Christian Chivu was one of the main proponents of the deal. He believes the newcomer will be able to play in multiple positions and bring something different to the table. The Nerazzurri also had to move Davide Frattesi to make room.
They might have some sort of cap when it comes to fees and total packages. It's basically the same operation they devised for Spence. They waited patiently for the sellers to get to their numbers, and not the other way around, after convincing the players, which is a testament to their appeal. They'll be a little overcrowded for a season. However, after all, Hakan Calhanoglu, Piotr Zielinski, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan aren't getting any younger. They were almost irrationally fixated on him, considering his role and what he showed in recent years, so they must have a pretty good plan to make him thrive.

Reports in Italy and Spain claim that Barcelona are interested in an audacious move to sign Inter captain Lautaro Martinez after their unsuccessful pursuit of Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, but the Nerazzurri are not expected to even entertain the idea of selling their talisman.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Tuttosport and various others, Barcelona are interested in signing Inter striker Lautaro Martinez, although there have been conflicting reports over the Argentine's preferences.

In Catalonia, there have been suggestions that Lautaro has 'opened the doors' to joining Barcelona, even if arranging a deal with Inter is expected to be complicated, whilst La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that there is no chance of Lautaro leaving San Siro before the end of this summer transfer window.
There had been genuine interest in Lautaro from Barcelona several years ago, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but given that Barca are still in a complicated financial situation and given that Inter do not want to sell their talisman at any cost, especially with less than a week to go before the start of the Serie A season, the chances of him leaving this month seem slim.

Giannis Konstantelias' move from PAOK to Borussia Dortmund is nearing completion for a reported €26 million plus up to €6 million in bonuses, with the deal also including a 15 per cent sell-on clause for the Greek side.
At the same time, according to reports from Greece, PAOK are working on signing two young players from Borussia Dortmund, namely Christos Kostoglou and Samuele Inácio.
As reported by sport24.gr, PAOK are in advanced talks over a move for 17-year-old Kostoglou. The youngster, who plays for BVB's U19 side, has one year left on his contract, but Dortmund are said to be willing to let him leave on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, PAOK are aiming to sign 18-year-old Inácio on loan, according to Greek outlet Gazzetta.
Whether Dortmund would agree to this is highly doubtful, though. The Italy international broke into the first team towards the end of last season and is part of the club's plans for the coming campaign.

Serie A side Roma have been pushing for the signature of Porto's Rodrigo Mora. While there were some issues in the deal across the week, the move is back on track.
La Gazzetta dello Sport offer background into the deal, stating that Roma's first offer was initially accepted by Porto. Gian Piero Gasperini's side put forward €8 million loan with a €42 million option to buy, subject to two conditions – Champions League qualification and a 60% participation for Mora.
Soon, Porto changed their mind and wanted a higher fee upfront and a better guarantee of the permanent deal. This demand left Roma rattled but they have now come back to the table again.
A counter-offer arrived after deliberation from the Friedkins. Roma have now offered €25 million for the permanent purchase plus a 50% interest in the future resale, which can be removed if Roma pay an additional €20 million.
This was mainly because Jorge Mendes organised a meeting between the parties today. Now, Mora's family and entourage is pushing for a move to Roma and the Portuguese side could give the green light to the move later today.

Ruben Amorim is said to be studying a new role for Adrien Rabiot as a trequartista behind striker Goncalo Ramos, therefore giving someone else a chance in midfield.
The Rossoneri struggled badly in pre-season, culminating in their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, and the new coach is still trying to find his vision.
So far, he has been leaning towards a 3-4-2-1 formation, but there are some adjustments that could use the players already at his disposal.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan Press and more, Amorim's idea is to use Rabiot and Christian Pulisic in the supporting trequartista role behind the centre-forward.

Juventus are ready to take Zion Suzuki on loan from Paris Saint-Germain after a deal with Parma worth €30m plus add-ons, but he's reportedly just a stop-gap until Alisson Becker can leave Liverpool for free.

The fee for that move is going to be €30m plus up to a further €5m in add-ons, which are related to the performances of the team, not to Suzuki himself.
That is important, because the ****** an international is not expected to play in Paris this season, instead going back to Serie A immediately for a one-year loan at Juventus.

Napoli want a statement signing, and Gabriel Jesus has moved from fantasy to something far more concrete. According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, the Brazilian forward is firmly on the Italian club's radar as they look to sharpen their attack and restore momentum ahead of a season built around high expectations.
The logic is straightforward. Napoli have spent heavily already, with £86.5 million committed to permanent deals for Rasmus Hojlund, Alisson Santos and Lorenzo Lucca. That is proper money, even in a market where clubs often behave as though accounting is optional. The issue now is balance. Napoli still need sales, and those sales are dictating the pace of everything.
This is where the Gabriel Jesus transfer story becomes interesting for **** nal as well as Napoli. The report states that **** nal have not yet contacted the player to discuss a renewal, even though his current contract expires in 2027. In transfer terms, that matters. Clubs do not need to panic with two years left, but they do need clarity. If there is no obvious long-term plan, buyers start circling and the player starts considering alternatives.
Napoli's move is tied closely to Romelu Lukaku's expected departure. The Belgian has reportedly reached an agreement with Fenerbahce, with the two clubs still needing to settle the fee. Napoli had initially wanted £12 million, but the piece suggests they may accept £7 million to £8 million including bonuses. That is a sizeable drop, but this is what happens when a sale becomes part of a bigger mechanism. They want room, wages off the books and a clear run at their real target.
The other outgoing mentioned is Noa Lang, who is attracting interest from Ajax after PSG pushed ahead on a move for Mika Godts. Napoli want £30 million for Lang, though the report suggests £25 million plus bonuses could be enough. Again, this is not random. If Lukaku and Lang move, Napoli create the financial and tactical **** e to go hard for Gabriel Jesus.

Serie A side Inter are nearing an agreement with Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur for the transfer of Djed Spence.
A report by La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that Inter and Tottenham are close to reaching an understanding on transfer fees for Djed Spence. The total deal is expected to be around €30 million plus bonuses.
Following the €20 million transfer of Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid earlier this summer, Inter were left with the task of finding a reliable successor to the right-back role. The Nerazzurri had Spence and Al-Ittihad's wide midfielder Moussa Diaby in their sights, but negotiations for the latter turned out to be a complicated affair since the Saudi Arabian side had already received a tempting offer from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen.
The objective right now for Inter is to put pen to paper on the contract for Spence before the start of the season. However, it is unlikely that he will be fit to start the opener since he just returned to training at Spurs following the post-World Cup break. Like his England teammate, Inter's new signing John Stones is also expected to miss the first match, and should Spence's transfer go through successfully, both should be fit for the second one.

Serie A giants Juventus have been desperate to sign Bologna's Jhon Lucumi and their attempts for the defender are now intensifying.
La Gazzetta dello Sport that while there is an impasse between the two clubs for the South American, Teun Koopmeiners could hold the key.
This is because Bologna have asked for the Dutchman as part of Juve's move for Lucumi. They are currently unable to reduce the fee to what Juventus want because they are due a 20% sell-on clause to Genk, who sold Lucumi to Bologna.
Juve are open to selling Koopmeiners. There have been simply enquiries from the Premier League but no major offers have been made.
Besides, Bologna sporting director Giovanni Sartori was key to bringing the Netherlands international to Italy during his time at Atalanta. He has also spoken to his brother – Peer, about his own move to Bologna. This can play an important role, even if Juve find the idea of including the older Koopmeiners in a move for Lucumi quite complicated.

Despite several delays in negotiations with Premier League giants, Inter have not pulled themselves out of the race to acquire Liverpool central midfielder Curtis Jones, as coach Christian Chivu deems the English international as his primary target to bolster the central area of the pitch.
Milanese journal La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that with a short window of nearly two weeks before the Serie A 2026-27 campaign kicks off, the Nerazzurri remain hopeful in attaining a complete squad prior to the opening match against Monza.
As it stands, Liverpool remains firm on their €40m evaluation for the 25-year-old midfield starlet, albeit his contract with the Reds expiring in the summer of 2027.
Hence, Inter are seeking to offload former Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattessi as soon as possible as he is no longer part of coach Christian Chivu's plans and the departure of the Italian international would make room for Curtis Jones to arrive at San Siro.
In the event that Inter struggle to find an appropriate suitor for Frattessi in a short amount of time, the Beneamata would evaluate cashing in on promising holding midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic, whom they just redeemed from Club Brugges after activating the €26m buy-back clause and refusing a lucrative €40m from Premier League oufits Brentford for the 21-year-old rising star.

Serie A Napoli face a roadblock in their attempt to sign ******* nal forward Gabriel Jesus this summer.
According to today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport via Calcio Napoli 24, Napoli's interest in acquiring the services of ******* nal man Gabriel Jesus on a loan deal ahead of the new season cannot proceed due to the Brazilian's contract tenure with the Premier League champions.
The Partenopei have entered the market to search for a striker following Romelu Lukaku's decision to leave the club. Jesus has been eyed by sporting director Giovanni Manna as the potential successor to the Belgian, but they must consider the external factors that will determine a transfer.
Jesus has only one year left on his current contract with ******* nal, and therefore, he cannot leave on a season-long loan spell elsewhere. While he will be available to speak for a free transfer with any club in January, Napoli cannot wait that long to materialise his signing.
Another problem is Jesus' salary at ******* nal, where he earns €9 million net per season. Napoli cannot afford this figure right now, and will be required to speak to the player directly to lower it to agree on personal terms before they approach the Gunners for a possible transfer.
