🧨 Calha's future, Milan striker, Napoli bench: today's news 🔥
After Inter’s 3-2 comeback win over Como last night, this Wednesday, April 22, the second Coppa Italia semifinal between Atalanta and Lazio will be played.
In this final rush of the season, there is no shortage of news involving the top Serie A clubs. Some of it concerns the transfer market, but there are other topics as well.
Juventus, Antonio Silva an opportunity for the defense
With next season in mind, Juventus are looking for a center-back who can complete and improve the department. There are two reasons why their attention has turned to Benfica’s Antonio Silva, according to Tuttosport.
On one hand, the Portuguese player is represented by Jorge Mendes, with whom relations are close and ongoing because of the Bernardo Silva negotiations. On the other, he could be a bargain opportunity since his contract expires in 2027 and he has no intention of renewing it.
Milan, three options for the attack
According to Corriere della Sera, Milan have narrowed down the names on their shortlist for the center-forward role to three profiles: Dusan Vlahovic, Alexander Sorloth, and Robert Lewandowski.

Both the Serbian and the Pole would arrive on a free transfer, but they are more complicated deals because of their extremely high wage demands. The Atletico striker, meanwhile, would be satisfied with €3 million a year or even less. If the Colchoneros were really to sell him for under €30 million, the deal could materialize.
After an outstanding performance against Como and an overall top-level finish to the season, Inter have come to realize they cannot do without Hakan Calhanoglu.
This was reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, who, besides taking his stay next season for granted, reveals that after the summer transfer window his deal, which expires in 2027, could be renewed.
Napoli, three names if Conte leaves
Within a few weeks, Napoli will have to clarify the future of coach Antonio Conte, who still has one year left on his contract but is being courted by the Italian national team. If talks between the coach and president Aurelio De Laurentiis were to lead to a split, there would be three ideas for the bench, according to SportMediaset.
The first, perhaps the most sensational, would be a return for Maurizio Sarri to the club that established him among the very best. The second, perhaps the one most in line with Conte’s profile, is Roberto Mancini, and the third leads to old favorite Raffaele Palladino.
Roma, Angelino has asked to leave
After a season spent almost entirely on the sidelines due to a health issue, Angelino’s time at Roma appears to be coming to an end.
According to Il Messaggero, the Spanish full-back has asked to be transferred, and the club, which needs incoming funds, has agreed to his wishes. A renewed link with Betis is being mentioned for the player.
Lazio, Zaccagni: "We know what’s at stake against Atalanta
Lazio winger and captain Mattia Zaccagni gave an interview to SportMediaset ahead of the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Atalanta.
“Is the semifinal against Atalanta worth a whole season? We are aware that it is a crucial match for us and for our fans, and we will try to play it at our maximum. The goal? I miss it a lot, but I don’t want to think about it.
Today the embrace from our fans was beautiful, it gave us a lift. We have trained well and we are ready to face Atalanta. In the first leg at the Olimpico we could have won, we came close with the last-minute goal. With the draw, we start again from zero just as they will, and we will have to give everything. We have the right mindset for the match. It’s a shame the fans won’t be there tomorrow.”
As highlighted by Corriere dello Sport, deep uncertainty surrounds the future of Fiorentina coach Paolo Vanoli.
On one hand, there is the awareness that securing safety, and doing so early, was far from a given considering he took over the team when it had 4 points. On the other hand, broader reflections will be made on the type of coach to back in order to plan next season and build next year’s squad.
