Italian sports newspapers are buzzing with transfer speculation. AC Milan is reportedly considering Ralf Rangnick for a technical leadership role, while Juventus has issued an ultimatum to goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
Milan’s Technical Area Search
AC Milan is actively seeking a new head of technical area. Reports suggest Ralf Rangnick is back on the club’s radar. A meeting has reportedly taken place in Vienna. The German coach is said to desire control over coaching and staff appointments. However, another target, Iraola, has reportedly declined an offer and is expected to join Crystal Palace. The search for a coach is also ongoing, with Italiano and Allegri being considered by Napoli.
Napoli’s Coaching Dilemma
Napoli is in a crucial phase of deciding on their next coach. Aurelio De Laurentiis is said to be weighing his options between Max Allegri and Vincenzo Italiano. Allegri might be open to terminating his contract with Juventus, while Italiano is rumored to be meeting with Bologna. The future of the Napoli bench remains a significant talking point.
Inter Milan’s Transfer Strategy
Inter Milan appears to have a clear transfer strategy and is not rushing decisions. They are reportedly preparing a €40 million bid for an Atalanta player and have reiterated that Bastoni will remain with the club. The club is also looking for a right-sided defender and is considering targets like Curtis Jones or Koné. However, the sale of Ederson from Atalanta to Manchester United could complicate Inter’s plans.
Juventus’ Goalkeeper Situation
Juventus has set an ultimatum for Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker. The former Roma player is reportedly waiting to confirm his starting position at Liverpool before making a decision. Juventus sees him as a top priority but requires an answer before the World Cup. Alternative options being considered include David de Gea and Alexander Nubel, who has impressed with Stuttgart. The club is also planning significant transfer market moves.
