AS Roma have been the most in the news Italian team over the last few weeks, as the ownership and club board are falling out.

The first way they will do this is through extending the contract of Lorenzo Pellegrini who looked destined to leave Roma. Talks have now resumed according to Nico Schira as Pellegrini is ready to take a pay cut to stay with the club. Pellegrini has played for Roma his entire career and his love for Roma sees him pushing to stay.

This is despite the fact that there is Premier League and Serie A clubs that are interested in Pellegrini. These clubs could likely give him a similar to higher wage to what he gets in Roma. But it is never about money for Pellegrini as he wants to be a Gialorossi legend like Daniele De Rossi and Francesco Totti.

Paulo Dybala could also be ready to take a pay cut to stay with Roma into next season according to Corriere Dello Sport. Dybala doesn’t have the same love for Roma as Pellegrini having spent most of his career with Juventus. However, he is intrigued by Gasperini’s project.

Dybala has enjoyed most of the time that he has spent in Gasperini’s system despite missing 18 games already this seen, a number that will increase as he has needed knee surgery. Dybala is hungry to stay in Rome and prove himself to Gasperini for the future. Dybala idea of staying is helped by little intriguing options for him this summer, expect for Boca Juniors which would be a return home he isn’t ready to make.

Dusan Vlahovic, has been one of the hottest names, in Juventus news this season. This comes as Vlahovic enters the final year of his contract with the Bianconeri expires at the end of this season. It has looked like a Vlahovic was set to leave Juventus as his wage demands where too high for Juventus.

However, the current season has ticked on and Vlahovic is still struggling to find a new club. There was rumours to AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Chelsea and Tottenham. However, none of these deals have managed to evaluate for Vlahovic, leaving him looking for a new team.

Meanwhile, Vlahovic has been sidelined due to injury for the last three months. This has forced Juventus to rely on Jonathan David and Lois Openda who have both struggled. Juventus, specifically Luciano Spalletti now feel that keeping Vlahovic, may be necessary, or to sign a big replacement.

This has led to the two reopening talks, especially with the upcoming World Cup, Vlahovic would want a guaranteed future. This has lead Vlahovic’s father Milos being in Turin to open talks. Now, according to Nico Schira the two sides are closing in on an agreement.

This will be a short term, deal to allow the both more time to decide their future. Vlahovic will earn roughly seven million euros per season. Which was more than what Juventus wanted to pay but a good compromise between what they and Vlahovic wanted. The Bianconeri have made a similar deal to this before with midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

The last time the Azzurri tasted glory was in 2021, in their Euros win in London. However, the saddest part of that tournament was the story of Leonardo Spinazzola for the Azzurri. Spinazzola was on track to be in the team of the tournament for Italy, until disaster struck against Belgium when Spinazzola was forced off the pitch due to injury.

Medical tests discovered that Spinazzola had torn his ACL against Belguim. This would see him out for not just the rest of the tournament but a whole calendar year. Once, Spinazzola returned with Roma he struggled to be the same player he was during the tournament as they injury took a toll on his legs.

Spinazzolla career at Roma slowly fizzled out due to his poor form, which saw him leave the club. Napoli took the risk on Spinazzola signing him as a free agent once his contract with Roma ended. The gamble was one that had a huge pay off for Napoli, as he has returned to form close to his euros ever since joining the club.

Spinazzola has become a favourite of Antonio Conte who now would like to keep him in Naples. This comes as the fullback has a contract which expires at the end of this season, but he is hoping to renew with Napoli. According to Nico Schira via X he will be able to do so past this season.

Schira is reporting that Napoli are offering Spinazzola a new contract for an added season. While this is a starting point for negotiations it isn’t exactly what he had in mind. Schira and his team would rather have a two year deal that would keep him in Naples until 2028. However, the deal he has been offered is a good starting point for negotiations.
