Let's take a look at the morning's top stories. 🇮🇹 Juventus eye young national team talents Juventus target not just Romano, but Doumbia and Ndour too Juventus are keeping a close eye on young Italian players as they look to strengthen their Italian core. As reported by Tuttosport , alongside Alessandro Romano , who caught the spotlight after his national team debut, the Bianconeri are also tracking Issa Doumbia and Cher Ndour , both standout performers for their respective national sides. Romano's valuation has already reached around €30 million , while Juve had already pursued Doumbia during his time at Venezia , before his move to Sporting. A deal for Doumbia could prove particularly expensive: the Portuguese club signed him for €23 million , including an €80 million release clause in his contract. For Ndour , meanwhile, Juventus could try to capitalise on the Fiorentina midfielder's desire to take another step up. He remains a player the Bianconeri are monitoring very closely. 💡 Milan: Amorim puts Ramos at the heart of his plans Milan are enjoying Gonçalo Ramos 's fine form, with the striker taking centre stage for Portugal following Cristiano Ronaldo's departure. The forward, who arrived from PSG, has delivered performances for his national team that further highlight the difficulties he experienced in his first appearances for the Rossoneri. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , Ruben Amorim is working on a way to get him more involved in Milan's play too. The idea is to allow Ramos to receive more passes in dangerous areas , rather than forcing him to drop too deep to get involved in the build-up. The plan relies on Pulisic's movement in attacking midfield and crosses from Diego Moreira , with the aim of putting the striker in the best position to use his finishing ability and make a bigger impact in the league too. 🔙 Inter: a big-name former player on a free in 2027? Inter are already looking ahead to the 2027 transfer market and considering players whose contracts are expiring, in line with the club's sustainability strategy. According to Tuttosport , the names being monitored include long-standing Nerazzurri target Mateo Kovacic , whose Manchester City contract is nearing its end. They also like Frank Zambo Anguissa in midfield, while Napoli's Alex Meret remains on their radar for the goalkeeper position. The list also includes Beltrán , whose contract expires as early as 31 December 2026, and Chris Richards , Crystal Palace's 26-year-old American defender. With Kovacic, however, it is far from certain that Inter will actually entertain a return to Milan: his representatives could offer him to the club again, as they did last summer, but the decision will rest with the Nerazzurri management. 🤕 Napoli: good news on the injury front Napoli have received plenty of bad news from the international break, but some important players returning to fitness also give them reason to smile. As reported by Corriere dello Sport , following Marianucci 's return, Meret, Spinazzola and Giovane are also available again, giving Allegri more options ahead of the restart. Spinazzola 's return is particularly important in light of Olivera 's injury, which leaves Napoli without another option on the left flank. With the Uruguayan sidelined, the former Roma player is their only genuine natural alternative on the left, at a stage of the season when Napoli face a particularly packed schedule. 💪 Roma: will Pellegrini claim a starting spot? Three players are competing for one spot behind Malen and Dybala . As reported by Leggo , Lorenzo Pellegrini is currently ahead of Soulé and Rodrigo Mora in the race to start against Como. The number 7 is fully fit and has looked very sharp since training resumed, while his two rivals will return from international duty shortly before the match. Pellegrini could also help out in midfield given Cristante 's absence. There will be plenty of opportunities to rotate the squad: after Como, Roma will face Real Madrid and Genoa within just a few days. For Pellegrini, this marks a return after his last appearance in April and a new chapter in the capital, having chosen to stay with the Giallorossi despite offers from Juventus and Besiktas . Meanwhile, Ndicka and Balerdi are competing for a place in defence, while de Roon is ready to replace Cristante in midfield. ✅ Lazio: Patric's move to Al-Ittifaq confirmed Patric is officially an Al-Ittifaq player. Following Lazio 's statement on 28 September, the Dubai club have unveiled the Spanish defender, who leaves the Biancocelesti after 11 years and 244 appearances. The announcement came via the Emirati club's official channels, welcoming the defender born in 1993 and highlighting his experience, leadership and winning mentality . Patric now begins a new adventure away from Europe after a long spell in the capital. Lazio had already confirmed his permanent transfer to Al-Ittifaq , a club in the United Arab Emirates, and his new team have now officially unveiled him too. ⚠️ Fiorentina: Ndour set to spark transfer interest Cher Ndour stole the show with a goal from over 70 metres out for Italy Under-21s against Poland in Pescara, a stunning strike that immediately went viral. As reported by Tuttosport , the Fiorentina midfielder is among the players being tracked by Juventus , who are increasingly keen to build a team with a strong Italian identity. Born in 2004, he joined the Viola after spells with PSG, Braga and Besiktas and is now looking to establish himself at club level in a way he has yet to achieve. For now, however, Fiorentina do not appear willing to enter negotiations with the Bianconeri. In Florence , they continue to place their faith in Ndour and his development, leaving any potential changes in the situation to the transfer market. Juventus are nonetheless keeping tabs: as they work towards building an increasingly Italian team, the Viola midfielder is a name to watch, especially after his exploits with the Under-21s.
