November 2025

Pulisic is unlikely to feature against Lazio after pulling out of Wednesday’s training with muscular discomfort, just as he was regaining rhythm following a recent hamstring layoff. Milan will likely err on the side of caution given his importance. Allegri confirmed Pulisic “is unlikely to play” but left a small window for late improvement with two days left before kick-off. The winger has seven goals and two assists in 10 games this season, so Milan must adjust their attacking plan if he misses out.

November 2025

Manchester United’s long-running pursuit of Atalanta midfielder Ederson has been handed encouragement after his agent Andre Cury suggested the Brazilian could be available for €30–40 million in 2026, roughly half the fee Serie A side previously wanted for the in-demand all-rounder. Cury claims Atalanta once valued Ederson between €60m and €75m but may now cut their price as his contract winds down, describing him as a “spectacular” player with some of Europe’s best midfield statistics, while suitors such as Liverpool continue to monitor his situation.

Wes Brown pours cold water on talk of McTominay return to Manchester United

November 2025

Scott McTominay’s explosive form for Napoli has sparked talk of a dramatic Old Trafford return, but Wes Brown says a move back to Manchester United is highly unlikely, even as he hails the midfielder’s rise into a goal-scoring leader for club and country. Sold for £26m in 2024, McTominay has thrived in a freer role, hitting 13 goals, winning Serie A MVP and driving Scotland back to the World Cup, with Brown arguing he now plays in his true box-to-box position and would cost United a premium they are unlikely to pay.

Contract talks have paused after months without agreement on a salary uplift. With a deal to 2029 but rising status, Yıldız’s camp wants pay closer to club leaders. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Real Madrid are monitoring as Juve hold firm on wage structure. The gap between Juventus’ valuation and Yıldız’s demands has frozen negotiations following a recent meeting.

Atalanta line up Palladino as Juric edges toward dismissal

Ivan Juric (Atalanta)
November 2025

After a damaging 3–0 home defeat to Sassuolo and growing friction with ownership and fans, Juric is close to the exit. Atalanta have advanced talks with Palladino as they seek to salvage a faltering league run and stuttering European campaign. Results, style drift, and dressing-room temperature accelerated the rethink. Palladino’s compact mid-block and fast-break model appeals for immediate stabilisation, but compensation, staff reshaping, and January squad trimming will dictate how fast the handover translates to points.
