Why it matters
The summer transfer window is still in turmoil, and Serie A clubs, such as Milan and Genoa, are looking to strengthen their squads. Endrick's situation at Real Madrid, where he is struggling to get playing time, could provide an opportunity for Milan, who are closely monitoring his development. Genoa's choice for a new sporting director is also crucial for their future in Serie A, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Diego Lopez.
Context
Endrick, a young Brazilian striker, is currently under contract with Real Madrid, but his limited playing time in LaLiga could encourage Milan to revive their interest. The player was observed by the Milan club this summer, but concerns about his progress and competition within the Madrid team hampered a possible transaction.

In Lombardy, Milan did not lose Endrick from the radar. La Gazzetta dello Sport recalls that the young Brazilian striker from Real Madrid had already been studied during the summer, without an operation being successful. The main obstacle remains playing time at Real, where offensive competition is very strong, and physical problems which have slowed his progress since his arrival in Spain. The file could return to the table during the next transfer window, in January, if the player's situation at Real remains limited.
In Rome, Lazio is moving forward with the extension of Romano Floriani Mussolini. According to Lalaziosiamonoi, a new meeting was held in Formello between the club and the player's entourage: the agreement envisaged would be a five-year contract accompanied by a salary increase. Currently paid around 150,000 euros per year, the right-back from 2003 should see his salary start at around 500,000 euros per season, with a gradual increase. A mark of confidence from the club in its development project.
On the French and Italian scene, revelations continue to emerge: Medhi Benatia, ex-sports director of OM, recounted Marseille's long interest in Lucas Da Cunha, today in Como and with the France U team. Benatia affirms that OM followed the attacking midfielder for almost a year and a half and tried to recruit him in winter, but finally gave up, judging the financial demands too high.

Juventus has stopped training since yesterday and is scheduled to resume on Tuesday. The technician should find a larger group from the start of the week, with the expected returns of Zhegrova, Sarr, Koopmeiners, Woltemade and Conceicao, which will allow him to approach the match against Cagliari with more options. Conceicao will nevertheless have to be evaluated after a problem that arose during the Portuguese selection. At the same time, Juve is following the progress of Vasilije Adzic, author of a good start to the season with Sassuolo.
Abroad, Tottenham could move as early as January to strengthen its offensive sector, and the track leading to Oh Hyeon-gyu (Besiktas) returns from Turkey, with a recommendation from Son Heung-min. Real Madrid, for its part, is monitoring Jarell Quansah, a young defender followed since his move from Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen, where a buyout clause of 70 million by Liverpool weighs until June 15.
Finally, Osasuna formalized the extension of Iñigo Arguibide until June 30, 2030. The Navarrese club will transform the option into a new three-year contract and has set a clause of 15 million euros. Arguibide, born in 2005, already established himself at the start of the season as one of the team's most used players, confirming the emergence of a talent in-house.
These files, already closely followed by managers and observers, could see rapid developments in the coming weeks, as the winter window approaches and certain clubs seek to adjust their squads.
The rest
Milan could intensify their efforts for Endrick during the next transfer window in January, depending on how his situation at Real Madrid develops. Meanwhile, Genoa will continue to explore options for their future sporting director, with discussions to come regarding Diego Lopez. Lazio, for their part, are on course to finalize a five-year contract with Romano Floriani Mussolini, which could strengthen their squad in Serie A.
