Juve eye Wiafe: battle with Roma for Genoa's rising star Juventus have set their sights on Samuel Wiafe, the midfielder born in 2008 who is making a name for himself at Genoa after joining from Modena for €2.5 million. According to Tuttosport , Roma are also tracking the young talent, but the Bianconeri are reportedly favourites thanks to their excellent relationship with the Ligurian club. Any potential move would have to wait until the summer, however, as Wiafe's priority is to continue developing at Genoa. Meanwhile, his international future is also becoming a talking point: Bonucci, a member of Mancini's coaching staff, has reportedly watched him several times with Italy in mind, while his parents' origins also leave the door open to Ghana. Milan: key week for Cardinale on three fronts It is an important week for Gerry Cardinale, who reaffirmed his faith in Amorim after the win in Udine ahead of the matches against Bologna and Inter. According to MilanNews.it , the owner will remain in Milan and will also try to speed up the appointment of Markus Krösche as the new Head of Football. Financial terms have reportedly already been agreed with the German executive, while his role, responsibilities and staff have yet to be finalised. Cardinale will also oversee plans for the new San Siro: the project for the stadium, which will hold around 71,500 spectators, will be presented on Thursday, with construction scheduled to begin midway through next year. Inter: Stankovic dreams of a return Filip Stankovic continues to impress at Venezia and makes no secret of his dream of returning to Inter one day to play a leading role. As Tuttosport reports, the goalkeeper born in 2002 is a regular starter for Venezia and has already delivered several impressive performances at the start of this Serie A season. The Nerazzurri also retain an indirect stake in his future, having secured a 50% sell-on clause should Venezia sell him. Tomorrow, Stankovic will face Inter and his brother Aleksandar, who returned to Appiano Gentile after spells at Luzern and Brugge. Napoli eye Sassuolo talent Napoli continue to focus on young players and have set their sights on Darryl Bakola, Sassuolo's midfielder born in 2007. According to Tuttomercatoweb , sporting director Giovanni Manna is closely monitoring the Neroverdi talent as he seeks promising players to gradually integrate into Napoli's squad. Bakola is admired for his physique, dynamism and shooting ability, qualities that make him one of the most exciting youngsters being monitored by the club. Napoli are also looking abroad, however: Mohamed Alì Zoma, Nürnberg's winger born in 2003, remains among the players on their radar. Roma: Chelsea not giving up on Koné Manu Koné remains one of Roma's players most coveted by Premier League clubs. According to English journalist Ben Jacobs, Chelsea continue to track the Frenchman after pursuing him last summer and could make another approach as early as the January transfer window. The Blues are also considering Monaco's Camara and Bournemouth's Scott, but Koné remains on their shortlist. Roma's position, however, is clear: the Giallorossi have no intention of letting the midfielder leave mid-season after his excellent start to the campaign before his injury. Floriani Mussolini has emerged as a target for Inter ahead of the January transfer window. As reported by TMW , the Lazio player is impressing under Gattuso , and his performances have caught the Nerazzurri's attention. Inter's management like his profile and view him as a potential option to strengthen the defence should Luis Henrique leave. For now, however, Lazio have received no offers and appear unwilling to let the player go , as he becomes increasingly central to their plans and nears a contract extension. It could take a particularly substantial offer from Inter to persuade the Rome club to change their stance. The situation remains one to watch ahead of the winter window, with the Nerazzurri potentially making a fresh approach in the coming months. Fiorentina dealt Pongracic blow: thigh injury Bad news for Fiorentina following their defeat to Inter. Pongracic, who was forced off early at San Siro, underwent scans that revealed a myofascial injury to the long head of the biceps femoris in his right thigh. As Fiorentina officially confirmed, the defender has already begun treatment and rehabilitation and will be reassessed in the coming weeks. Pongracic will definitely miss the next match against Atalanta, while his precise recovery timeline has yet to be determined. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
