Meanwhile, the Italian teams continue working ahead of their final official fixtures in Serie A (and the Coppa Italia) and the summer transfer market, which is fast approaching. Let’s take a look at today’s biggest news.

Juventus, Alaba offered to the Bianconeri

Juventus are weighing up a possible high-experience market opportunity: David Alaba. According to Tuttosport, in recent hours agent Pini Zahavi has offered the Real Madrid defender to the Bianconeri management. The idea is especially appealing to Luciano Spalletti, who greatly appreciates the Austrian’s tactical versatility, as he can play as a centre-back, left-back, and even as a defensive midfielder.

The first talks between the parties are said to have been positive, but the deal remains complicated. The main doubts concern the player’s physical condition, coming off several muscle problems, and above all his salary: Alaba earns around €10 million net per season and would have to significantly lower his wages to move to Turin.

Milan, Leao heading for goodbye? Saudi option back in a big way

Rafael Leao’s future at Milan looks increasingly uncertain. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, there is a growing feeling inside the Rossoneri club that the Portuguese star’s cycle may have reached the end of the line. Inconsistent performances, combined with a relationship with the environment that is no longer as solid, are said to be pushing Milan to seriously consider a sale next summer.

The financial demands have dropped compared to the past: today his transfer value would range between €50 million and €60 million. There is still interest from the Premier League, especially from Manchester United, as well as some enquiries from Spain.

In recent weeks, however, the Saudi option is also said to have returned strongly: Al Hilal are reportedly monitoring the situation and could offer Leao a huge contract. In Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese forward would reunite with Simone Inzaghi and Theo Hernandez, his long-time partner down the left flank.

Inter, goalkeeper puzzle: Stankovic, Vicario or trust in Martinez?

Inter are already working on life after Sommer and preparing a revolution between the posts. According to Matteo Moretto on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, the Nerazzurri are evaluating several solutions.

One of the most concrete ideas leads to Filip Stankovic, fresh off helping Venezia win promotion. Inter maintain a favourable clause to buy him back and could bring him back to Milan at a limited cost.

However, the track leading to Tottenham’s Vicario also remains open: the goalkeeper has reportedly already opened the door to a return to Italy, but there is still no financial agreement with the English club.

Meanwhile, the internal option is also gaining traction: the management are said to be considering truly handing the goal to Josep Martinez, with a reliable and experienced backup behind him.

Napoli, Lukaku’s agent: “He’ll return to his level”

Romelu Lukaku’s current form continues to spark debate at Napoli, but his agent is trying to silence any doubts.

Interviewed by DAZN Belgium, Federico Pastorello defended the Belgian striker after a complicated season:

“Romelu remains an incredible striker. This year has been difficult, but he’ll have a great World Cup and return to his level.”

Roma, Friedkin wants Manna, but ADL asks for €10 million

Roma are also thinking about the club management of the future and have reportedly identified Giovanni Manna as one of their preferred profiles for the post-Massara role. According to Repubblica, the Friedkins and Gian Piero Gasperini have met directly with Napoli’s current sporting director, making him a concrete offer.

The main obstacle is Aurelio De Laurentiis: the Napoli president reportedly has no intention of letting Manna go easily and would even be asking for compensation of around €10 million, considering the three years still left on his contract.

Lazio, Motta convinces everyone: renewal already being considered

Edoardo Motta’s season could radically change Lazio’s future. Initially brought in as Provedel’s backup, the former Reggiana goalkeeper suddenly found himself as the starter after the Biancocelesti No. 1’s injury, gradually winning over both the environment and the club.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, his performances — culminating in the extraordinary Coppa Italia semifinal against Atalanta, also decided by the penalties he saved — have convinced Lotito and Fabiani to consider a contract renewal with improved financial terms.

Fiorentina, Paratici studying post-Vanoli options: Grosso in pole position

At Fiorentina, the idea of parting ways with Paolo Vanoli at the end of the season is gaining more and more ground.

According to Matteo Moretto, new sporting director Fabio Paratici is evaluating several profiles for the Viola bench. Among them, Fabio Grosso stands out in particular, considered one of the most concrete names also because of his long-standing relationship with Paratici.

Inigo Perez was also liked, but the Spanish coach now appears close to Villarreal. Also on the table is the intriguing option of Daniele De Rossi, although Genoa are reportedly working to tie him down with a new contract until 2028.
