Monaco forward Keita Balde has informed the club of his intent on securing a return to Inter in the ongoing transfer window. According to French outlet Foot Mercato (via SempreInter), the player wants to return to the Giuseppe Meazza, where he spent a decent loan spell in 2018/19.
Simone Inzaghi held his first presser as Inter coach today, providing insight on his ideas. “I am enthusiastic and very motivated. It is surely a great challenge. We will do everything in our power to defend the Scudetto. Moreover, we want to do better in Champions League. I was informed beforehand about the departure of Achraf Hakimi, while our other center-pieces will stay put. I like Hakan Calhanoglu and Stefano Sensi a lot."
Lazio are reluctant to negotiate Luis Alberto's departure despite growing interest from Inter boss Simone Inzaghi in his former pupil. As per Fabrizio Romano (via TheLaziali), Biancocelesti supremo Claudio Lotito is determined to fend off Inzaghi's interest following a summer break-up.
After a collaboration that lasted for twenty years, Simone Inzaghi finally left his nest at the capital, as Inter handpicked him to be Antonio Conte's heir at Appiano Gentile. The newly appointed manager will be looking to make a name for himself at the Giuseppe Meazza as a tactician following a mediocre playing career.
Simone Inzaghi is officially Antonio Conte’s successor on the Inter bench. The Nerazzurri successfully lured him away from Lazio with a last-ditch attempt after he had initially agreed to stay with the Biancocelesti. He leaves the Italian Capital after 22 years, first as a player, then as a coach. In the meantime, Romelu Lukaku announced that he is going to stay at the club despite the interest from Chelsea and Manchester City.
Lazio are going all-in on Maurizio Sarri to replace Simone Inzaghi on the bench. As expected, Juventus did not pick up the third-year option included in the previous contract of their former boss and paid a penalty instead. Director Igli Tare met the gaffer personally yesterday and president Claudio Lotito is poised to do the same later in the week to close the deal. The coach showed appreciation for the roster.
Inter have found their next coach, as they reportedly convinced Simone Inzaghi to change his mind on the extension with Lazio. The gaffer met with president Claudio Lotito yesterday night and came to terms on his new deal. However, CEO Giuseppe Marotta, after missing out on Massimiliano Allegri, wooed him with a much higher offer. He is expected to sign a two-year contract shortly.
Juventus are waiting for Zinedine Zidane’s decision and see him as the top candidate to replace Andrea Pirlo. They would pick him over Massimiliano Allegri, but the talks with him have been inconclusive at best thus far. The French coach would be very expensive and qualifying for Champions League could be a deciding factor.
Massimiliano Allegri is the top candidate to replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid and would gladly accept the job this time after turning it down in the past. The Italian manager is giving the Merengues his priority despite being the dream target for multiple Serie A teams, including Juventus, Lazio and Napoli. Gennaro Gattuso has emerged as an option for the Bianconeri.
Serie A is back in action with the penultimate round of fixtures as Roma and Lazio go head-to-head at the Stadio Olimpico in the 154th Derby della Capitale in Serie A. Coming off the back of a 3-1 loss to newly-crowned champions Inter Milan, the GIallorossi are hoping to bounce back against familiar foes.
Stadio Olimpico is the venue as Lazio host AC Milan for a massive Serie A top-four six-pointer. The Biancocelesti sit eight points adrift of fourth-placed Juventus but have two games in hand on Andrea Pirlo's side and can ill-afford any slip-ups in the remaining part of the season if they want to compete in the Champions League next term.
