Juve, Premier League Clubs Eye Gatti: One to Watch in January
Federico Gatti is emerging as a notable name in Juventus’ upcoming winter transfer window. The defender has found it difficult to secure consistent starts, leading to renewed interest from several Premier League clubs ready to pursue him as early as January. According to La Stampa, Gatti was on the radar of Aston Villa, Bournemouth, and Tottenham during the summer, but his representatives declined the offers. With January approaching, English interest may resurface.
Milan, Endrick Has NOT Turned Them Down!
The future of Endrick remains uncertain, as both Milan and Roma vie for the Brazilian talent. Fabrizio Romano has clarified that the Real Madrid striker has not rejected the Rossoneri nor any other destination. The player is seeking more playing time, yet both the Spanish club’s management and José Mourinho are advocating for him to remain. Matteo Moretto notes that a decision could emerge in December, with a loan appearing increasingly plausible. Roma has maintained regular contact in recent weeks, while Milan is keen, benefiting from a solid relationship between Cardinale and ROC Nation, the agency representing Endrick.
Inter Eye Richards: An Opportunity from the Premier League
Inter is looking to bolster their defense by considering options in the Premier League for next season. According to Tuttosport, the Nerazzurri’s management is tracking Chris Richards, the American centre-back currently with Crystal Palace. His contract expires in June, making him an appealing choice for the team’s needs. Having been a regular starter, Richards offers more experience compared to other potential targets such as Jeltsch. Inter continues to evaluate a possible move for him next summer.
Napoli, Lang Could Leave in January: Genoa Interested!
Noa Lang might be changing teams as early as the January transfer window, with Genoa showing interest in the Dutch forward. Daniele De Rossi is particularly eager to bring Lang to Liguria. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Genoa coach admires Lang and seeks to enhance his attacking options. Napoli may be open to letting Lang leave on a temporary basis, but the specifics of any potential transfer have yet to be finalized. A loan deal seems most likely, with Napoli potentially covering part of his wages to facilitate the transfer.
Roma, Gasperini Targets Kvernadze: January Move on the Cards?
Roma is expressing interest in Kvernadze as they look to strengthen their attack this winter. La Gazzetta dello Sport indicates the Georgian talent was highlighted by Gian Piero Gasperini last summer due to his technique, unpredictability, and ability to create numerical advantages—attributes essential to Gasperini’s system. Kvernadze, who would be the attacking midfielder Gasperini has long sought, could be pursued in January rather than in summer when competition might intensify.
Lazio, Concern Over Sutalo and Tavares: Targeting Derby Returns
Gennaro Gattuso’s Lazio faces a defensive injury crisis, impacting Josip Sutalo and Nuno Tavares. According to Il Messaggero, tests conducted on Tuesday revealed that Tavares has a moderate left hamstring strain, sidelining him for several weeks. Concerns also surround Sutalo, who is suspected to have a similar injury. The Croatian centre-back is undergoing scans to determine the extent of his injury and a recovery timeline, with the medical staff aiming for both players to return in time for the derby on December 13.
Fiorentina Renew Hojbjerg Pursuit, But Juve Are in the Mix

The Danish midfielder, who serves as captain for both Marseille and his national team, remains a top target for the Viola’s management. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Florence club intends to make another attempt following last summer’s unsuccessful effort. However, Juventus’ interest complicates matters, as they aim to enhance Luciano Spalletti’s midfield with an experienced player. While Juventus may influence Hojbjerg’s decision, Fiorentina remains committed to not giving up in their chase for the player.
