Champions League eve for the Italian teams, who will be playing simultaneously tomorrow evening in the final day of the single group stage of the Champions League.
It's normal, therefore, that most of the attention today is focused on that, even though there are some market insights.
Let's look at the most important news about the big teams in our league.
Juventus, Douglas Luiz returns to Aston Villa
As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto, the return of Douglas Luiz to Aston Villa is now finalized. The Brazilian midfielder, owned by Juventus and currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, is ready to change clubs but will remain in the Premier League, rejoining the team from which Juve originally acquired him.
The transfer will take place with the formula of a loan with an option to buy in favor of the club led by Unai Emery, ready to welcome back a player who was already decisive in the recent past.
Milan, Goretzka's approval! Watch out for two big clubs
The future of Leon Goretzka could soon be away from Bayern Munich. The German midfielder will be out of contract at the end of the season, and the idea of a possible departure to embark on a new experience outside Germany, after years of success in Bavaria, is growing.
According to calciomercato.com, Milan has decisively returned to the '95 class, obtaining an initial general approval. The rossoneri club would be willing to consider a salary effort, but the competition from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who have already started initial inquiries, remains strong.
Inter, PSV coach's words on Perisic
Inter continues to closely follow the name of Ivan Perisic as a possible reinforcement for the right wing, necessary after the difficulties of Luis Henrique and the injury of Dumfries. However, the negotiation is not simple: PSV is very reluctant to let go of the '87 class and wants to maximize the profit from the sale of its winger.
On the eve of their own Champions match against Bayern, the Dutch coach responded to a question about the Croatian: "Possible sale of Perisic? I don't think about it at all. We want to win tomorrow's match, we want to move forward. The focus is all on that. Not on other issues. And about these things, by the way, I don't even know anything".
Napoli, Holm idea! Could leave Bologna
Napoli is going through a particularly complex phase of the season, due to a long series of injuries that have reduced the rotations available to Conte. An emergency that is affecting the performance of the Italian champions and makes Manna's intervention in the market necessary.
The main target for the defense remains Juanlu Sánchez, a highly appreciated profile but complicated to bring to Italy already in January. According to Alfredo Pedullà, among the alternatives considered, the name of Holm has also emerged, who could leave Bologna.
Roma, Bologna considers Ferguson
Bologna is monitoring Evan Ferguson with interest. The experience of the former Brighton player in Rome has never really taken off, and now - with Malen's arrival - the possibility that his playing time will decrease is high.
However, the rossoblù club first needs to resolve some exits: in particular, it would be necessary to free up space in the squad by selling one of Immobile or Dallinga. Then, the player's willingness also needs to be evaluated, as he has not yet expressed interest in leaving Trigoria.
Lazio, Sarri-Romagnoli meeting! What happened
It seemed all set for the departure of Alessio Romagnoli, who had already bid farewell to the fans present at Via del Mare in the last away match in Lecce and packed his bags for the move to Al-Sadd. Surprisingly, however, Lazio decided to block the operation at the last moment, preventing the departure of their defender.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, yesterday there was a meeting in Formello between Maurizio Sarri and the former Milan player, during which the player reiterated his desire to leave the club. However, the coach's position remains unchanged: Romagnoli is considered fundamental for the technical project. Meanwhile, Al-Sadd has started a 48-hour countdown, after which they will turn to another profile.
Fiorentina, Nicolussi goes to Parma
Hans Nicolussi Caviglia and Fiorentina are ready to part ways after six months that were anything but positive, both for the player and the club. Despite being on the way out, the midfielder born in 2000 has been included in the squad for the Coppa Italia match against Como, in which he might even start.
According to ViolaNews, however, his departure is not in doubt. The loan is therefore heading towards termination, with Nicolussi returning to Venezia – the club that owns his card – and the possibility of a new transfer to Parma.
