Allegri plans three‑back as Inter target Chiesa and Roma eye Endrick

With Serie A paused for the international break, all eyes turn to Italy as the Azzurri prepare to meet France in tonight’s final Nations League group‑stage clash; meanwhile, Allegri is tweaking a three‑back, Inter are eyeing Chiesa and Roma consider a January move for Endrick.

Nations League showdown

The Azzurri‑France encounter is the last group‑stage match of the Nations League, billed as a high‑profile clash that will decide the final standings. Both sides have already secured qualification for the knockout phase, but the result will determine the group winner. The fixture is set for this evening, with the Italian side hoping to cap the break on a positive note.

Fans can watch the entire Serie BKT live on the LaB Channel via OneFootball for a subscription of €9.99 per month. The streaming service promises full‑match coverage and post‑match analysis, catering to supporters who cannot attend the stadium.

Transfer market buzz

Juventus remain interested in Barcelona full‑back Alejandro Balde, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Paris Saint‑Germain are currently ahead in the race. Milan have also been linked with the Spanish defender, adding another heavyweight to the pursuit.

In a separate development, Milan are reportedly advancing talks with Adidas to return to the German brand from the 2028/29 season. Their current kit deal with Puma runs until 2028, and earlier negotiations with Nike fell through, according to club sources.

Italy rebounds after 1‑4 defeat with Nations League victory

Inter, still under the guidance of former defender and current technical director after a positive start, are planning a concrete move for Federico Chiesa in January. The Nerazzurri hierarchy are said to be scouting a forward who excels in one‑on‑one situations and can create numerical superiority.

Domestic clubs plan ahead

Massimiliano Allegri is said to have worked on a three‑man defence during the break, moving away from the back‑four used so far. The proposed 3‑4‑2‑1 shape could be deployed against Frosinone when the league resumes, marking a clear tactical shift.

Roma are also active in the market, with the club’s management targeting Brazilian teenager Endrick. Limited playing time at Real Madrid has opened the possibility of a January transfer, according to reports.

Milan eye Alejandro Balde as injuries force Ruben Amorim to rethink wing options

Lazio continue to cope with the absences of midfielders Cataldi and Rovella. Cataldi’s quadriceps setback pushes his return to a later date, while Rovella aims to be fit for the upcoming Monza match.

Fiorentina have kept an eye on Boca Juniors attacking midfielder Tomás Aranda, born in 2007. The Argentine talent carries a $20 million release clause but is currently sidelined with a fractured fibula.
