Italian sports dailies are buzzing with transfer news and player critiques. Inter Milan is reportedly in the market for new talent, while AS Roma looks to bring back an old favorite. Juventus is considering a move for Randal Kolo Muani, and AC Milan faces a period of significant uncertainty with potential player departures and managerial changes.
Inter Milan’s Transfer Targets
Inter Milan is considering two midfield targets: Jones-Kone and another unnamed player. The club needs to make a choice based on differing costs and characteristics. In goal, Dibu Martinez has emerged as a potential option.
Roma and a Familiar Face
AS Roma is reportedly interested in bringing back a former player, with Francesco Totti being offered a directorial role. The club’s current coach, Gasp, wants to secure his position.
Juventus’ Striker Search
Juventus is exploring options for their attack, with Randal Kolo Muani and Mateta being considered. Kolo Muani, who had a loan spell at Tottenham, is available from PSG for €30 million. This move could be favorable for all parties, especially as Vlahovic’s contract renewal negotiations are stalled due to high demands. Aston Villa is also showing interest in Mingueza, while Rugani might be staying with Juventus.
AC Milan’s Uncertain Future
AC Milan is in a state of chaos with a potential “mass exodus” of players. Reports suggest that Rafael Leao has already signaled his departure, with Adrien Rabiot and Luka Modric also considering their futures. Maignan is also looking for new opportunities. This week is crucial for the club’s managerial situation, with Slot and Pochettino in the background as alternatives if Rangnick does not arrive, and Glasner is also being considered.
Managerial Speculation
The managerial search is intensifying for AC Milan. Rangnick is scheduled to speak with the Austrian FA, and a meeting with Glasner is planned. Slot and Pochettino are also in contention, adding to the club’s current turmoil.
Stellini’s Critique of De Bruyne
Cristian Stellini, Antonio Conte’s deputy, has hit back at Kevin De Bruyne with a strong critique. Stellini stated that De Bruyne “brought no joy to Napoli” and suggested that experienced players should serve as role models, citing Luka Modric’s positive influence at Milan. He emphasized that “results come before aesthetics” and questioned the logic of a 33-year-old joining Napoli with only aesthetics in mind, as he “didn’t transmit anything.”
Other Transfer Rumors
Borussia Dortmund is willing to let Julian Brandt go, and he could be a target for Roma, especially given his friendship with Donyell Malen. Udinese’s Solet is also available, with Inter Milan reportedly close to a deal for a loan with an obligation to buy after a court case was archived.
