Roma are reportedly ready to accelerate their pursuit of Manchester United misfit Diogo Dalot in the upcoming January transfer window. Per Italian publication, Gazzetta dello Sport, the Giallorossi manager Jose Mourinho has informed the club's technical director Tiago Pinto over his intention to land the Portuguese full-back this winter.
For one season only, the capital of Italian football was not Milan or Turin. The 1990/91 Serie A campaign is remembered as the season when both Genoa clubs went above and beyond. Genoa ended their remarkable run at home against Juventus in a game that turned into an authentic playoff to grab a spot in the UEFA Cup.
Saturday's Serie A action rounds off with a mouth-watering showdown between pacesetters Napoli and fourth-placed Atalanta at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Sat five points below the Partenopei going into this round, La Dea are aware a potential win in this top-four six-pointer would prove their title credentials.
Familiar foes are set to trade tackles in Saturday's blockbuster Serie A fixture as Roma and Inter go head-to-head at the Stadio Olimpico. It will be an emotional reunion for the Giallorossi head coach Jose Mourinho, who led the Nerazzurri to the famous triplet back in 2010.
Even though injuries are piling up for Napoli, their plans for January are unlikely to change. The Partenopei will at most sign a left-back or eventually replace those who leave. Now that Kalidou Koulibaly is out for a while, they probably will not sell Kostas Manolas to Olympiakos.
Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Roma star Nicolò Zaniolo. According to Corriere Dello Sport (via Sport Witness), Spurs manager Antonio Conte and sporting director Fabio Paratici are both admirers of the 22-year-old winger, who is waiting for a contract renewal from the Giallorossi.
Luciano Spalletti refused to dwell on the absences ahead of the clash with Atalanta: “We will choose among who is left. It is key to stay united and protect the squad. They have already proved that they care deeply about this team in difficult times."
