Simone Inzaghi is purportedly inclined to extend his contract with Inter despite Liverpool’s expressed interest. Meanwhile, Juventus has identified three full-back prospects for the upcoming season and is contemplating the potential sale of Filip Kostic and Timothy Weah.
It has been a bustling day for Serie A clubs as numerous Italian sides gear up for European engagements. However, Lazio’s journey in the Champions League was curtailed as they were eliminated from the Round of 16 by Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
Amidst the backdrop of European fixtures, notable transfer narratives have surfaced in both Italian and international media outlets.
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter’s head coach Inzaghi is unlikely to succeed Klopp at Liverpool, as the Italian tactician harbors intentions to prolong his tenure with the Nerazzurri for personal and professional motives.
Conversely, the future of Milan’s Stefano Pioli remains somewhat ambiguous. During a press conference on Wednesday, the Italian coach refrained from providing a definitive answer regarding his continuity at the club in the event of winning the Europa League.
Reports from GiveMeSport suggest that Sporting CP’s forward Viktor Gyokeres has expressed a preference for a move to Milan over Chelsea and Arsenal. Nonetheless, Football Italia asserts that the 25-year-old is not Milan’s primary target in the attacking department for the forthcoming season.
Juventus is slated to deliberate Massimiliano Allegri’s future later this season. In the interim, the Bianconeri are actively scouting potential reinforcements in midfield and attack. Gazzetta indicates that Juventus has expressed interest in Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino.
As per Tuttosport’s coverage on page 6, Juventus has Noussair Mazraoui (Bayern Munich), Patrick Dorgu (Lecce), and Lucas Vázquez (Real Madrid) on their radar for potential signings. Concurrently, Alex Sandro’s departure at the end of his contract is imminent, with Weah and Kostic also possibly exiting as they attract interest from clubs outside Serie A.
