Michele Di Gregorio it could soon be tinged with black and white. After the Milanese blitz on Wednesday evening by football director Cristiano Giuntoli, the Juventus managed to create a nice advantage over the contenders (above all Milan) for the 26-year-old goalkeeper from Monza and the confidence for the closure of the operation would have grown a lot.

In fact, according to what was revealed in today’s edition of Tuttosport, between the player and the ‘Old Lady’ there is already a principle of agreement for a contract until 2029 worth 2 million net per season plus bonuses. All that remains is to sign theunderstanding with Adriano Galliani and the Brianza club, who are currently asking for an outlay of 20 million but, according to what we read, they could be satisfied with an offer of 15 million plus bonuses or the inclusion of a counterpart like Mattia Perin. Juve certainly wants to hasten the closing of the deal, also to burn any new opponents’ additions.

The burning revelation of the morning, placed on the front page of Tuttosportconcerns the ‘Old Lady’: “Di Gregorio, there is an agreement with Juve!“. Giuntoli’s Milanese blitz burns out the competition and significantly brings the Monza goalkeeper in black and white closer, ready to join the Turin club until 2029.

Gilardino’s future at Genoa remains almost uncertain, with Fiorentina and Turin always on his trail. While the victory in the Cesarini area over Udinese during yesterday’s injury time, Daniele De Rossi’s Roma must be sent towards the Champions League goal.

Juventus – Di Gregorio, there is an agreement

Genoa – Gilardino’s renewal does not slow down Toro

Rome – Cristante screams in the 95th minute, Roma as Champions

Last December in these columns we anticipated you the interest of Naples for the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder, Georgiy Sudakov. A player who was watched several times live during the Champions League matches by the Azzurri scouts who are building the future of Aurelio De Laurentiis’ project even now alongside the new sporting director, Giovanni Manna. It is no secret that Sudakov is also in the sights of Juventus, but the Ukrainian midfielder has long been followed in every detail and secret by the Italian chief scout Maurizio Micheli and his men.

Who is Sudakov
Attacking midfielder born in 2002, he plays for Shakhtar Donetsk and was the driving force behind Ukraine in the European Championship. Until the semi-finals but that was enough to guarantee the Ukrainians a place at the Olympics. Now, the 21-year-old from Bryanka is an attacking midfielder, good at playing in a 4-2-3-1 behind the striker, but also as a midfielder or as an attacking winger on the left. Versatile, ambidextrous, from Metalist Kharkiv he then landed at Shakhtar at just seventeen and was among the protagonists of the historic Champions League victory against Real Madrid. Now he is one of the cornerstones of both the orange club and the national team.

Shevchenko’s coronation
On Rai’s microphones, in the 90th Minute program, the Ukrainian flag Andriy Shevchenko spoke about Sudakov himself, reserving special praise. “He is a very interesting player. He is dynamic, he can play different roles. I am not surprised that he is doing well in these two years, I called him three years ago to the national team for a pre-retreat with us before the European Championships and I also brought him He’s a great talent there, someone who could make an important leap in quality in the coming years, if he were to arrive in a big league like Italy, England or Spain. He’s very interesting as a footballer.

Juventus’ preparations continue ahead of Saturday’s match at 6pm at the Allianz Stadium against Milan. For Massimiliano Allegri good news comes from the nurse with Moise Kean who has resumed training in the group. The Juventus number 18 is close to being called up for the match against Milan. Today, however, for the Bianconeri it will already be eve and Allegri will be in the press conference at 2pm.

Allegri is studying some changes for Milan.
Massimiliano Allegri will be able to count on almost the entire squad for Saturday’s match against Milan. The Livorno coach, therefore, will be able to choose the best possible formation to try to beat Stefano Pioli’s Rossoneri. Although it is reasonable to expect some changes in the starting eleven given the recent close matches of the Bianconeri. Allegri will confirm the 3-5-2: he will return to goal Szczesny. In front of him he will find a starting shirt again Cats who will play with Bremer and one between Danilo and Rugani. He could play in midfield on the right Weah, after the assist in the Cup for Milik, the three very successful players will play in the middle McKennie, Locatelli and Rabiotwhile on the left Cambiaso he seems ahead of Iling Jr and Kostic. In attack, despite Milik’s goal, he will start again Vlahovic who will want to make up for the mistakes in front of goal against Lazio. This time he should be alongside DV9 Yildiz. The Turkish born in 2005 has not played as a starter since the match on 17 February against Verona at the Bentegodi.

After the Italian Cup, Juventus wants to recover in the championship too.
Immediately after reaching the Italian Cup final, Massimiliano Allegri spoke about how important it was for the whole group to achieve the first goal of the season: “Today’s match (Tuesday) was an important match, our elimination would have led to a dangerous psychological repercussion given that we are not yet mathematically in the Champions League”. To regain victory, however, the coach from Livorno knows that he must recover the defensive solidity that was missing against both Cagliari and Lazio: “When we defend with ten men all close to the It’s more difficult to score in the penalty area, but when you play in an open field with quality players like those of Lazio you risk exposing yourself more. We need to work better, it’s clear that if you concede fewer goals you’re more likely to win matches.” This is Allegri’s recipe for getting closer to the Champions League quota which, to date, is 7 points away.

Napoli is approaching the match against Roma amidst tensions and protests. For weeks the discontent of the fans, as well as the errors committed by De Laurentiis or the coaches, has been forcefully directed towards the team, incapable of closing the match against Frosinone and then of making a shot on goal or a clean play against Empoli, suffering a humiliating defeat without even showing a reaction. This week we worked mainly on this aspect, avoiding a punitive retreat after Empoli, but anticipating the one on the eve of the match against Roma (starting today, in Caserta due to the lack of structures in the city due to the invasion of tourists) with rumors about a possible continuation in the event of another empty and soulless performance.

The conferences are back: will Calzona goad the team again?
At the Konami Training Center in Castel Volturno, at 1pm (live on Tuttomercatoweb.com), the Napoli coach will return to answer questions from the press in the pre-match press conference. The last time happened on the eve of the match against Barcelona, ​​in the Champions League, mostly due to the very stringent obligations of UEFA. Then only post-match interventions and in the last few he did not spare direct attacks on the team’s attitude, from the lack of ferocity in high pressure to above all the lack of malice even in simply creating density behind the ball line.

Calzona, however, confirms everyone
After Empoli it couldn’t have been clearer: “We have to work first on pride. We work very tactically, but here we go beyond tactics…”, the words of the coach who could publicly insist on this issue today to shake up the group publicly: the goal is to have at least a nervous reaction to be able to close the season in a dignified manner and save a European position. However, the formation choices will not change: despite the disappointment and discontent, Calzona should confirm the usual 11 with the returns of Rrahmani and Mario Rui.

There is not only Roberto Goretti as a possible successor to Pietro Accardi in the role of sporting director of Empoli. The current sporting director of the Azzurri has been talked about for some time and it seems the time has come for him to make a leap: rumors have been going on for months, from Napoli to Fiorentina and even alternative possibilities such as Genoa for example. According to the specialized portal Pianeta Empoli, a new path opens up for Monteboro’s desk and he is looking at Serie B.

One candidate, we learn, is Paolo Bravo, South Tyrol’s current transfer man and the one who contributed to the stabilization of the South Tyrolean team in the cadettry. Despite a contract that would tie him to the red and whites for another sporting season, many think that he could be ready to make the leap. Bravo is one of the most appreciated sports directors of the club led by president Corsi. Goretti, now at Reggiana, is also in the running.

On 26 April 1998, Juventus-Inter was played at Delle Alpi. The Scudetto match par excellence which, at that moment, was worth three quarters of the title. Because Juve are at plus one, while the Nerazzurri find themselves with Ronaldo in great form. However, the lead was scored by Alessandro Del Piero, with a beautiful goal, in a first half that was anything but extraordinary. However, many controversial episodes in favor of Juventus had already occurred over the months. So it’s normal that in the second half, in the twenty-fifth minute, an uproar breaks out. Ball contested by Zamorano and Birindelli on the edge of the penalty area, Ronaldo enters and anticipates Iuliano by moving the ball to him.

Inevitable clash, even harsh. For the referee, Ceccarini from Livorno, there was no foul. The action restarts and West collides with Del Piero. This time it’s a penalty: all in a period of sixty seconds. What would have happened with the VAR? It’s a question that would be nice to ask ourselves twenty-six years later, but it’s impossible. Del Piero makes a mistake, Juve wins 1-0 and will then reach the Scudetto.

This is the black jacket’s last comment on the contact. “I’ve already said it many times: the defender was stationary and the attacker was moving. I have one regret: if I had called a foul in attack, the action wouldn’t have restarted and there wouldn’t have been so much controversy. Instead I found myself in the middle to the vortex, for months, for me and for my family. I, my children and my wife suffered insults and contempt, for no reason, that episode damaged my career after retiring”.

Obviously the controversies became very heated after the match. Ronaldo and Simoni tell the referee to be ashamed. Moratti leaves before the end of the match. Sports director Mazzola calls the championship distorted, while Luciano Moggi talks about “breaking through”, as in basketball, while Iuliano says he is “still”, as Ceccarini himself said. Points of view, but reviewing the images it wasn’t really a statue of Madame Tussaud…

Once the championship has been awarded, many verdicts remain that the championship A league has yet to be decreed. We start from the exciting race to the European competitions, especially the Champions Leaguewhich will feature at least five teams in Serie A next year.

The Champions race. In the following sections, we have tried to consider and compare the calendars of the teams arithmetically in the running for qualification for the top continental competition. With big differences, obviously: al Milan, for example, two points are enough for arithmetic certainty, given that (by virtue of the direct clash between the two) the Rossoneri cannot be reached at the possible 71 mark by either Roma or Atalanta. At the Juventus Seven points are missing, excluding Monza who could arithmetically catch up with Roma but are behind in direct clashes with both the Giallorossi and the Roma. Goddess. Away games are capitalized.
