Premier targets De Winter as Serie A is hit by injuries

In the last hours Serie A has been hit by a series of injuries, but the name that has drawn the most attention is Koni De Winter, Milan defender, on whom the biggest Premier clubs have shown interest. Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool have confirmed they are monitoring the situation.

At the moment there is still no concrete offer, but De Winter's profile is considered highly valued by English clubs. Milan has stated it does not want to change its position without off‑market proposals.

Possible purchases for Napoli and Italy

A lead not to be underestimated for Napoli is Adem Zorgane, midfielder of Union Saint‑Gilloise, a club that in recent years has showcased numerous talents. Bakola and Bergwall also remain on the list, but other solutions could emerge soon. The Azzurri national team also continues to keep an eye on Dodo's profile, whose contract with Fiorentina has expired, available on a free transfer.

Injuries affecting the national teams

For Milan, which beat Genoa, Strahinja Pavlovic was absent, and he will not answer Serbia's call‑up due to a physical issue that arose after the 3‑1 derby win. Coach Stefano Amorim hopes to have him back on the pitch in the second half of the season.

For Juventus, the less positive news is the diagnosis of Pierre Kalulu, which revealed a lesion to the left hamstring muscles, forcing him to miss Zinedine Zidane's France call‑up. The defender will not be able to take part in the national team's upcoming matches.

Lazio full‑back Nuno Tavares has withdrawn from the Portugal call‑up after an injury sustained against Napoli, preventing him from playing the matches against Denmark on November 14 and against Wales on November 17. Coach Jorge Jesus had to amend the squad list.

Bologna announced that Juan Miranda, injured in the match against Parma, has a first‑degree tear of the left thigh's femoral biceps, with a recovery time estimated at around three weeks. The midfielder will have to return to training after rehabilitation.

Mario Hermoso has become one of the symbols of Gasperini's Roma, thanks to his modern and aggressive defensive style. The club has started negotiations to renew his contract, which expires on June 30, aiming to reach an agreement until 2029 with an option for 2030. Hermoso would also accept a wage reduction to continue in the capital.

Frosinone coach Massimiliano Alvini said: “We step onto the pitch to play the match. We don’t wait for events to define us.” He added that the team must materialise more of what it produces on the field to maintain an identity capable of reaching the goal in a Serie A that is too important.
