Inter are waiting for John Stones and considering their next moves. The English defender joined on a free transfer in the summer and has logged just 144 minutes because of fitness problems, but he is now close to returning.

Inter count on John Stones to shore up defence

Cristian Chivu hopes to have him back after the break to add greater solidity to the defence. Reportedly, Inter could sign another defender in January if Stones suffers further setbacks, which would require freeing up a squad place.

Juventus and Milan plot striker reinforcements

Serie A is on hold for the international break, yet the transfer market is already heating up. Juventus are looking for a new centre‑forward and are weighing several options for January. Their shortlist features Gianluca Scamacca, Alexander Sorloth and Folarin Balogun.

Scamacca, the Atalanta striker, is praised for his physical and technical qualities. Sorloth is the Norwegian forward at Atletico Madrid. Balogun is the American striker at Monaco.

A move for Mateo Retegui appears more complicated as the former Atalanta player seems intent on staying in Saudi Arabia. Milan have identified a January priority: signing a striker who can partner Gonçalo Ramos and give him a breather.

Roma celebrates first European win as Inter falls to City in UWCL

The Rossoneri are considering a low‑cost loan for a player on his way out of a major European club. They are also eyeing Nicolò Tresoldi, born in 2004, valued at around €40 million, a figure that makes a summer deal more likely, though an early January move cannot be ruled out.

Napoli, Roma, Lazio and Fiorentina plot summer moves

Napoli are dreaming of Gustavo Varela, the Portuguese striker from Monza, who was born in 2005. He has already netted nine league goals and 11 in as many appearances across all competitions, and a deal could cost around €30 million, but Benfica retain a sell‑on percentage and the right to match any offers.

Roma are looking at Ademola Lookman again, the Nigerian forward who is struggling for consistent playing time at Atletico Madrid. Gasperini hopes to reunite with the former Atalanta protégé. While Endrick remains Roma's top target, Lookman could provide a high‑quality alternative in attack.

Lazio sporting director Angelo Fabiani said his contract is expiring and that they will discuss it when the time is right. He also praised Gennaro Gattuso's work at the start of the season.

Endrick wants to move in January, Roma and Milan race for €60 million

Fiorentina are preparing two permanent signings worth over €34 million. The first concerns Alieu Njie, born in 2005, who has scored three goals and provided two assists in his last three matches; an obligation to buy him from Torino for €12 million will be triggered after Fiorentina's first match following 5 February. The second concerns Pedro Gonçalves, who arrived from Sporting Lisbon with an option to buy for €22.5 million.
