The renewal of the contract has not yet been announced Lewis Ferguson until 2029 with Bologna, but the signature, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, has already been placed. The midfielder said yes to the extension in recent months, after the summer, confirming the bond he has with the club and the club. The club intends to confirm many protagonists of the historic year, while Vincenzo Italiano is focused on the match against Lazio, in which Dallinga could play in place of Castro, who will also work separately today. Another player whose salary will be increased is Kacper Urbanski, born in 2004 whose contract expires next June. The parties are negotiating a new agreement until 2028 with a salary adjustment, given that he now receives 150 thousand euros a year. In Poland they linked him to Thiago Motta’s Juventus and someone hypothesized a farewell on a free transfer, but this eventuality is very distant. Furthermore, Tommaso Corazza is also ready to sign until 2028. Bologna is also working for Michel Aebischer, who will extend his contract from 2026 to 2027 with even an option until 2028. Finally it will be the turn of Lukasz Skorupski, goalkeeper who has the contract until 2025, but with a clause to extend it by one year in favor of the club.
Fiorentina is ready to send another strong message aimed at the future and is now one step away from locking down one of its most promising talentsyou, Tommaso Martinelli (18 years old). Goalkeeper born in 2006 who made his debut in the first team in the last match of the Italian era, the victory on the Atalanta pitch, and remained in the Gigliati squad even after a summer transfer market in which loan offers had arrived from ‘high Serie C.
There is an agreement for the new agreement which will bind the goalkeeper born in 2006 in the long term to the colors of the team of which he has already publicly declared himself a fan, having also been born in Bagno a Ripoli which today hosts Viola Park and a stone’s throw away from Florence. He will therefore sign a new five-year bond, adding another three years to the current deadline (30 June 2026). While waiting to be able to take the field with Fiorentina again this season, in the break that is about to end Martinelli returned to play three official matches with Italy Under 19, always keeping a clean sheet. The good opportunity for the Viola’s debut in 2024/25 seems likely to arrive on 4 December, in the Italian Cup against Empoli. Martinelli in the meantime will continue his path, training in the shadow of De Gea, who dotes on him and has already given his approval to the idea of being able to act as his mother hen as well as an opera master, and of Terracciano.
The future of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia it is still shrouded in mystery. According to what was reported by Sport, in Spain, the renewal of the winger with Napoli is anything but easy and for this very reason there would have been an initial contact between the player’s agents and Barcelona, to reopen a negotiation which will was interrupted a year ago and to test the availability of the Blaugrana club in the operation. On the other hand, the Catalans have registered Kvara’s willingness to be open to signing and there will be further talks in the coming weeks. Mamuka Jugeli, the Georgian’s agent, asked for a retroactive bonus for bringing the winger to Campania in 2022. However, it is unlikely that we will talk about this again because there are other issues to resolve. In fact, no other face-to-face meetings are planned, this is because Napoli think they have done their best and are just waiting for a response, which will have to arrive shortly, otherwise next summer, with PSG and Barcelona already ready to attack, Kvaratskhelia could end on the market. The Azzurri’s proposal is a contract of 5 years and up, starting from 6 million euros net per season, including bonuses. He would like to start from 8, but has also opened up the possibility of approaching the Azzurri’s offer. The clause is the real problem: the player’s entourage wants it for 80 million, De Laurentiis for at least 120.
ARDA GULER AS ODEGAARD? ARSENAL TRYING TURKISH TALENT: THEY CAN’T FIND ANY SPACE AT REAL MADRID. ATLETICO MADRID, SIMEONE REMAINS AT THE HELM: NO CHANGES ON THE BENCH. FROM ONE EGYPTIAN TO ANOTHER. LIVERPOOL IS THINKING OF OMAR MARMOUSH TO REPLACE SALAH
Arda Güler he is not having a happy experience at Real Madrid. In a year and a half under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, the Turkish talent played only 22 games out of 48 available (of which 8 as a starter), staying out due to injury on a further 24 occasions. With playing time equal to 17.12% of those available, the young Turkish talent struggles to find the space needed to grow and demonstrate his qualities. Arsenal are closely monitoring Güler’s situation, seeing similarities in him with Martin Ødegaard. Even the Norwegian, during his experience at Real Madrid, found little space to express himself, until he was loaned to Real Sociedad, where he exploded. Arsenal now aim to replicate that strategy, offering Güler the opportunity to relaunch himself in an environment that values young talent. Although Güler has a contract with Real Madrid until 2029 and dreams of establishing himself in the white shirt, his current situation resembles that of Ødegaard, sold by Los Blancos and now a pillar of the Gunners. The Turkish midfielder will have to evaluate whether to stay in Madrid, where he risks not finding space under Ancelotti, or accept the opportunity to relaunch himself in the Premier League, following in the footsteps of his predecessor.
Diego Pablo Simeone is facing one of the most difficult periods of his long career in charge of Atlético de Madrid. The team’s results this season have raised concerns among fans, who see the club losing ground in the fight for the top of La Liga. Despite these difficulties, the Argentine coach is not in question and the club has decided to confirm its trust in him, both for the remainder of this season and for the following one. The rumors about a possible change on the bench were denied by internal sources, who reiterated the management’s support for Simeone. The management’s support for Simeone is a clear sign of trust in the project and in his role as leader. This support is further strengthened in a moment of difficulty, where the club has decided not to consider changes. Simeone, who led Atlético to numerous successes, remains the coach of choice to continue shaping the team’s future.
Omar Marmoush, Eintracht Frankfurt striker could move to Liverpool next summer, according to German journalist Marcel Reif. Marmoush, considered the ideal successor to Mohamed Salah, is reportedly in the Reds’ sights as the Egyptian’s contract with the Anfield club approaches its expiry in June. Marmoush has come into his own this year with impressive performances, scoring 11 goals in 14 Bundesliga games, a feat equaled only by Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane. The 25-year-old, described as “extraordinary” by the German media, led Eintracht to third place in the league and fourth in the Europa League, where the team is still unbeaten. A versatile attacker, Marmoush can play in different positions on the offensive front, although this year he has established himself as a centre-forward. Liverpool, led by Arne Slot, are enjoying an exceptional season, dominating in the Premier League and Champions League despite a limited summer transfer market. Marmoush, who has already declared the Reds to be his “dream”, could join a team ready to revolutionize the attack, as the contracts of Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold expire. The Egyptian’s future remains uncertain, but Marmoush seems ready to take up the baton.
