Report – Sarri Sanctions Midfield Swap Deal Between Italian Internationals With Inter Milan
Maurizio Sarri is ready to green light Lazio moving for Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi, even allowing Nicolo Rovella to go the other way. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Il Messaggero, via FCInter1908. Advertisement Coach Maurizio Sarri wants to change things up at Lazio as he prepares for his second spell on the bench at the Stadio Olimpico. According to Il Messaggero, one priority for Sarri is to add more goals from midfield. That is one area in which the Biancocelesti were certainly lacking last season. Therefore, Il Messaggero reports, Sarri has made Davide Frattesi a major target. One thing the 25-year-old does not lack for his goals from midfield. Last season Frattesi scored seven goals for Inter – even without being a regular starter by any means. Sarri Sanctions Lazio To Make Frattesi – Rovella Swap Deal MILAN, ITALY – MAY 06: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale celebrates. scoring his team's fourth goal during the. UEFA Champions.

(Photo by) So much of a priority target is Frattesi for Sarri that he would even be willing to make a big sacrifice to sign the former Sassuolo midfielder. Advertisement According to Il Messaggero, the coach would be willing to lose midfielder Nicolo Rovella. And as it happens, Rovella is a major target for Inter. The Nerazzurri are preparing for the possibility of life without Hakan Calhanoglu – and Rovella is a major target to replace the Turk. Therefore, Inter would certainly be willing to listen to offers for Frattesi including Rovella. Inter are undoubtedly willing to part ways with Frattesi. The Italian international had already reportedly pushed for a transfer in January. And so if Frattesi can be used to dramatically lower the asking price for Rovella from his €50 million release clause, Inter certainly won't be opposed to the idea. The biggest obstacle to such a deal, however, could be wages. Frattesi earns €2.8 million net per season at Inter, whilst Rovella earns just €1.7 million net per season at Lazio.

Reasons behind Florent Ghisolfi's Roma exit
Serie A side Roma will part ways with sporting director Florent Ghisolfi soon and the decision has come rather abruptly from the Friedkins, who are no strangers to making those. La Gazzetta dello Sport have explored the situation and they speak of the reasons behind the Frenchman's exit from the Stadio Olimpico. Advertisement They believe that tensions were lingering at the club due to the situation of Mile Svilar, whose contract situation was being delayed. While the farewell took place by mutual agreement, the goalkeeper's renewal proved to be the last straw for the Friedkins. The newspaper claim that Ghisolfi had a strained relationship with many agents – including those of Alexis Saelemaekers. The ownership wanted to cash in on the sale of Angelino and the failure to do has fallen on Ghisolfi's shoulders. More than that, there were issues regarding the renewals of many Primavera players. These issues emerged in a clear video call involving the parties and the Friedkins learned that only Claudio Ranieri's intervention was making sure of Svilar's renewal. A solution was reached early in the morning and CFO Lorenzo Vitali was the one to show Ghisolfi the door, with Ricky Massara in pole position to replace the Frenchman. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

Arsenal handed £6m transfer boost as forgotten man completes exit
Nuno Tavares has spent the last three seasons out on loan after falling out of Mikel Arteta's plans in North London and has now signed a permanent deal with Italian side Lazio Arsenal's forgotten man, Nuno Tavares, has completed a permanent move to Italian side Lazio. The Portuguese international, who spent last term on loan with the Serie A side, moves in a £6million deal. He has signed a three-year contract at the Stadio Olimpico. The 25-year-old joined Arsenal in the summer of 2021 from Benfica in an £8million move, making 28 appearances in all competitions. But he never looked an ideal fit at left-back for Mikel Arteta's side, combining occasional thrilling attacking forays with somewhat haphazard defending. As new arrivals in that role followed, Tavares was cast aside, heading on loan to Monaco, then Nottingham Forest and most latterly Lazio. In the Italian capital he has impressed, operating as a wing-back and thrusting his way into the Portugal national team, winning his first senior international cap when he came on as a substitute in Portugal's 5-1 win against Poland in the UEFA Nations League last November. An Arsenal statement said: "Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Nuno for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for the future." Tavares will be joined at Lazio this season by the returning former Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri - who has rejoined the club 15 months after leaving. Sarri, 66, is back at the helm, replacing Marco Baroni, who led Lazio to a seventh-place finish last term - missing out on European qualification. Sarri resigned in March 2024 after five defeats in six games and voicing his displeasure at the club's transfer policy, following three years in charge - during which time he led them to a second place finish, their best since winning the title in 2000. Lazio president Claudio Lotito said in a statement earlier this week: "Maurizio Sarri has returned home. "His return is a choice of heart, conviction and vision. With him we want to resume a path that was interrupted too soon, aware that together, we can bring back enthusiasm, identity and ambition. "Welcome back to your home, commander."

Ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp agrees stunning return to management with Roma
Jurgen Klopp is poised to make a sensational return to the dugout, with La Stampa claiming the former Liverpool manager has agreed to take over at AS Roma. Klopp stepped down from his Anfield post at the end of last season. The German tactician appeared to be easing into a less hands-on role as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull GmbH. However, Klopp has reportedly opted for an unexpected new chapter at the Stadio Olimpico weeks after links to the Real Madrid job. Per the report, Klopp had initially been in talks with another club amid a potential change of ownership. When that project collapsed, he pivoted to Roma. The report pinpoints the exact moment the deal was sealed. According to La Stampa, at 10:57 p.m. local time on May 18, Klopp gave his green light to Roma president Dan Friedkin. With his high-energy pressing style and track record of building unified, cohesive squads, the Giallorossi may finally have found the man to bridge the gap to the elite teams in Italy. The change also marks a graceful exit for Claudio Ranieri, the ever-reliable statesman who returned for a final spell to stabilise a Roma team flipping through managers. The legendary Italian gaffer took a team on the brink of collapse and led them back into one of the European slots. His job on the touchline may be over, but Ranieri will stay in a consultancy role, helping Klopp navigate the intricacies of Serie A. Roma fans have been hungry for a return to the top. They have not won a Serie A title since 2001, and their last taste of trophy success came in 2008. However, Klopp has a track record of defying the odds to win titles, and his potential arrival will give fans a reason to dream big.
