Inter has been far and above the best team in Serie A in the recent months. They look incapable of not scoring three goals a game, let alone dropping points. The Nerazzurri should be on their way to their 21st Scudetto title at the end of this season if all goes to plan.

Inter look like a much improved team from last season, which saw them miss out on a trophy. There is one obvious change between the two teams being head coach as Cristian Chivu has revolutionised Inter, as it felt Inzaghis time was getting repetitive. However, the changes Chivu has made tactically have been minor as Inter look more motivated than ever.

Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny being added to Inter’s bench has given them a much needed boost. One they didn’t have last season, which ultimately could be what cost them in major competitions. Especially with Inter making a deep run in Champions League, while champions, Napoli didn’t play in Europe all season.

Even, if this has been a small boost it has been a big one. Inter’s improved goalscoring has lead to a confidence boost across the entire team. Chivu has his men more motivated to play then anyone in the rest of Europe not just Italy. Someone who has benefited from this largely has been Federico Dimarco.

Dimarco has always been a confidence player, and this season he has been more confident then ever. This has lead to him having one of his best years with six goals and eleven assists, across all competitions. Inter are set to reward Dimarco for his good form according to Nico Schira.

Inter are getting closer to agreeing a contract extension with Dimarco until 2030. This deal will likely come with a nice payrise, however, figures for the deal aren’t official yet. Meanwhile from Inter a new deal will protect them from the prying eyes of big Premier League teams trying to sign Dimarco.

AS Roma has had attacking struggles for most of this season, despite the hiring of new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Gasperini has been known to be an attacking based coach but his attack has struggled this season. This could be down to poor recruitment by Roma.

Gasperini wanted a replacement for Artem Dovbyk in the summer something he didn’t get. The only attacker Roma signed was Evan Ferguson on loan, someone who Gasp isn’t a fan of. A poor mercato could bear the weight of Roma’s goalscoring blows, but it could also be old support.

Matthias Soule plays regularly as one of the two attacking midfielders in Gasperini system. However, other than that only had Lorenzo Pellegrini, Paulo Dybala or Stephen El Shaarawy. This was before the January transfer window which saw them sign Donyell Malen, Robinio Vaz and Bryan Zaragoza. (read more on the signing of Vaz) (read more on the signing of Zaragoza)

AS Roma will have to make room for all of these new players, for this season and next. Currently it isn’t an issue as Roma have a deep injury list, so no one is struggling for gametime. However, at the start of next season that could become a serious issue, once everyone is fit.

Alfredo Pedulla, reports that Roma will let two players walk as free agents to make room for these players. Firstly is Paulo Dybala who could leave at the end of this season. But, this is no surprise as this has been rumoured for months with a move back to Argentina, but other teams are interested. (read more here)

The second is Lorenzo Pellegrini who could leave Roma after this season. Pellegrini has been with Roma for nine years and this could be his final year with them. However, this Roma could be wrong with recent reports stating that he is set to sign an extension with Roma. (read more here)

Juventus’s season so far has been a story of two halves, split between Igor Tudor and Luciano Spalletti. Igor Tudor was the coach to start the season for Juventus, as he was hired as an interim after Thiago Motta. Tudor, took Juventus to a mixed Club World Cup being eliminated in the Round of 16 by Real Madrid.

However, Tudor struggled for success once the league season started, making it only to end of October before being axed. Luciano Spalletti came in to replace Tudor, taking over before the Cremonese game on the 1st of November. Juventus has been performing much better on Spalletti.

Spalletti has taken charge of 21 games so far in Turin winning, 13 of them. Juventus has only lost three games in his coaching stint, so far which has lead to talks for a contract extension. Majority of Juventus players have seen an uptick in form ever since Spalletti joined the side as well.

Of course there has still be some strugglers like Andrea Cambiaso, who has had a poor season for Juventus in general. The squad has mainly seen improvement. Someone who has benefited immensely has been Weston Mckennie who has looked like the best he has ever played.

Mckennie improved form has seen him score six goals since Spalletti, joined with two assists to go with it. This has lead to talks of a contract extension for the American a complete flip of the script from him leaving, which was rumored in the summer. However, Alfredo Pedulla is reporting that this deal is slowing down.

Juventus and Mckennie did manage to come to terms last season, but that has fallen apart. The two parties have failed to agree upon agent fees, and Mckennie could now leave Juventus as a free agent. Pedulla reports that there is four to five teams monitoring the situation including Juventus rivals Inter Milan.
