🧨 Juve-Atubolu, Milan chaos, Napoli-Kubo, Soulé off: today's news 🔥

Milan, management chaos: Tare OUT, Allegri hanging in the balance

Uncertainty over the club’s and coaching staff’s future continues to reign at Milan.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio on Sky Sport, Igli Tare will not be Milan’s sporting director next season. A decision that confirms the internal tensions and the different factions within the Rossoneri hierarchy.

The issue concerning Massimiliano Allegri also remains wide open. If Milan qualify for the Champions League, an automatic contract extension until 2028 would be triggered at around six million euros net per year. At the moment, moreover, there is no indication that the coach intends to step aside.

To part ways with Allegri, the club would therefore also have to deal with a significant financial issue. In the background, possible alternatives remain, such as Vincenzo Italiano — a profile especially appreciated by Giorgio Furlani — but nothing has reportedly been definitively decided yet.

Di Marzio also underlined how Milan’s future will depend above all on who will actually have technical and executive control of the club next season, among Giorgio Furlani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and owners RedBird.

Finally, the issue of the Italian national team also remains on the table: Allegri is one of the names being considered in the event of changes at federation level, together with other profiles such as Roberto Mancini and Claudio Ranieri.

Inter, Sommer says no to Basel

Yann Sommer’s future will not be in Switzerland, at least for now. The Inter goalkeeper has in fact turned down Basel’s attempt to bring him back home after years spent at the highest levels of European football.

This was confirmed directly by Stephan Lichtsteiner, now coach of the red-and-blue club and a former international teammate of Sommer.

“It was worth a try, but I expected this answer,” Lichtsteiner explained.

According to the coach, Sommer believes he can still compete at a very high international level and is not yet ready to bring his career in top-level European football to a close.

Napoli, Kubo back on the Azzurri radar

Napoli continue to keep a close eye on the international market and have returned to monitoring an old target: Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo. According to Il Mattino, the Japanese player’s profile could become a concrete option again if he decides to leave La Liga next summer.

Napoli have been following Kubo for years now and consider his talent ideal for Antonio Conte’s tactical project. The quick and skillful winger would also be intrigued by the possibility of playing in the Champions League with the Neapolitan club.

Much will also depend, however, on Real Sociedad’s financial demands and Napoli’s overall strategy in the attacking market.

Roma, GOODBYE to Soulé: price and replacement

Matias Soulé’s future could be away from Roma. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Aston Villa are increasing the pressure for the Argentine winger, considered one of the ideal profiles to strengthen their attack.

The Giallorossi are not closing the door to a sale, but they have reportedly already set their asking price: it will take at least 40 million euros to convince the capital club to let the former Frosinone player leave.

Meanwhile, Roma are already evaluating possible replacements. On the list are Mathys Tel, Crysencio Summerville and Antonio Nusa.

Lazio, a midfielder arriving from Serie B?

Lazio are looking with interest at the Italian market and have reportedly set their sights on Venezia’s Issa Doumbia.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, sporting director Angelo Fabiani is a big admirer of the 2003-born midfielder, one of the key figures in Venezia’s promotion thanks to a season of 10 goals in 38 appearances.

Doumbia is considered a modern midfielder, physically dominant and capable of playing both in front of the defense and as an attacking mezzala. The competition, however, is already very strong: Benfica have also reportedly made a concrete move with an offer close to 15 million euros.

Fiorentina, how are Kean and Gudmundsson doing?

Concern continues at Fiorentina over Moise Kean’s condition.

According to ViolaNews, the striker has still not rejoined the group and continues to train separately. The chances of seeing him called up for the match against Juventus therefore remain rather low, although much will depend on the actual date of the game and the next few training sessions.

Albert Gudmundsson is also doing personalized work, having completed a gym session to manage some minor physical issues picked up over the course of the season. In this case, however, there is greater optimism: the Icelander should be regularly available against the Bianconeri.
