Today’s Papers – Guardiola the Italian, Ranieri leaves Roma

Sport news

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports on Claudio Ranieri’s departure from Roma, suggesting it paves the way for Francesco Totti’s potential return. The paper also speculates on Pep Guardiola’s interest in coaching the Italian national team, a challenge that reportedly attracts him. Elsewhere, Fikayo Tomori expresses confidence in AC Milan, and there’s discussion about potential playmaker signings for the national team under Luciano Spalletti, with Inter Milan also making moves in the transfer market.

Corriere dello Sport details the “breakup at Roma” between senior advisor Claudio Ranieri and the Friedkin ownership, stemming from disagreements over coach Gian Piero Gasperini. This split is said to give more power to Gasperini, potentially impacting Daniele Massara’s role. The newspaper also covers Juventus’s transfer targets, mentioning David De Gea and Alisson Becker as potential goalkeeper options, and highlights Napoli’s preparations for their match against Cremonese, with Victor Osimhen potentially being replaced by Giovanni Simeone. Inter Milan’s defensive reinforcements are also noted.

Tuttosport claims that Gian Piero Gasperini’s influence has led to Claudio Ranieri’s exit from Roma, citing management of injuries and the transfer market as points of contention. The paper also discusses the ongoing competition between Milan and Juventus for the second spot in Serie A and their ambitious transfer plans for the future. Updates on contract negotiations for Tommaso Vlasic at Torino and Inter Milan’s pursuit of a new midfielder, likely to support Hakan Çalhanoğlu, are also featured.
