CR7 reiterated that he is “the greatest of all time”, and Dybala revealed where he would like to end his career. Meanwhile, Serie A continues, and the league’s top clubs are preparing for their European fixtures.
Let’s take a look at today’s biggest news.
Juventus: just a one-match ban for Spalletti?
The clash between Spalletti and Pisacane (the inside story here) led to both being sent off, but the punishment is expected to keep them off the touchline for just one match. The Juventus coach would therefore miss the game against Lazio.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport: “The angry exchange went no further and, within seconds, those nearby did well to calm tempers rather than inflame them. This last detail could make the difference in the disciplinary judge’s decision”.
Milan: Cardinale is not happy
According to Sky Sport, Cardinale (who was in the stands last night) was disappointed with several aspects of Milan’s performance: their attacking play and lack of concentration at set pieces.
Furthermore, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Milan owner was reportedly unhappy with the refereeing decisions: particularly the decision not to penalize Laurienté for his foul on Gila.
Inter: second consecutive profitable year
Inter’s shareholders’ meeting officially confirmed a second consecutive profitable year: “With a net profit of €22.7 million. The fiscal year’s performance brought the Group’s equity back into positive territory at €10.4 million, from a negative position of €12 million at the close of the 2024/25 financial year”.
Furthermore: “The 2025/26 season saw revenue of €518 million, marking the second-best result in the Club’s history after last season’s record. The Club has launched a substantial investment plan to develop the infrastructure at the Inter Training Center in Appiano Gentile and the Konami Women & Talent Center in Interello”.
Marotta commented on the result (his full comments here), also discussing the new San Siro: “We will soon share with you all the wonderful results of the design work for Milan’s new stadium”.
Napoli: Giay is a January target
According to Matteo Moretto, Napoli are very keen on Agustín Giay, Palmeiras’ right-back, who could leave in January despite his contract running until 2030.
Allegri is reportedly a big admirer of the youngster, born in 2004, who is also attracting interest from Milan and Atletico Madrid. His price tag is around €20–25 million.
Roma, Zaniolo: “There are many things I wouldn’t do again”
In an interview with calciomercato.com and Goal, Zaniolo reflected on his time at Roma: “There are perhaps many things I wouldn’t do again, but without those mistakes and such serious injuries, I wouldn’t be the person and athlete I am today. I was sorry that things ended rather abruptly with the club and its fans, whom I still support and cheer on”.
“I left many friends in Rome, my wife is from Rome, my first child was born there… we’re even thinking about moving back there when my career is over”.
Lazio: Cancellieri targets Juventus return
According to Corriere dello Sport, Gattuso has given the team two days off, with training set to resume on Wednesday morning.
By then, Cancellieri is also expected to return to training with the squad: the winger wants to be available for the match against Juventus. Marusic, meanwhile, will undergo further checks.
Fiorentina: controversy over workers at the Franchi
A video posted on the Welcome to Florence page has sparked controversy over the ongoing work at the Franchi: it shows two workers on the stadium roof moving a sheet of metal, in conditions that appear not to meet the appropriate safety standards.
The response from Palazzo Vecchio was immediate: “The necessary measures will be taken; incidents like this must not happen again”.
