With just two weeks to go before the deadline, there has yet to be a binding offer to acquire Salernitana. They have been managed by a trust up so far, as they were owned by Lazio chairman Claudio Lotito. They would be excluded from Serie A if they did not find a buyer by the end of the year.

Juventus might take a flier on one of the veteran strikers available to address their scoring woes in January. The Bianconeri have netted the least goals out of the top 12 Serie A teams. Since it is improbable that they will be able to land Dusan Vlahovic, they could go for a temporary solution.
UEFA and CONMENBOL have made official the match between the Euro and the Copa America winners that has been in the works for some time. Italy and Argentina will square off in London on June 1st.

Barella will be missing the 1st leg against the Reds due to a silly red card he picked at the Santiago Bernabeu. He hopes to be back for the return leg at Anfield.

Joe Barone, the top Fiorentina director, talked about his team’s plans for January and more.
