January 2026

Roma have identified Axel Disasi and Radu Dragusin as January defensive targets, aiming to strengthen at the back. Disasi has been frozen out at Chelsea since returning from his Aston Villa loan, and Chelsea are prepared to sell after signing him in 2023. Reports say Disasi cannot leave on loan because Chelsea have used their domestic loan slots, so any move must be permanent. Roma are exploring terms while other clubs are also monitoring. Tottenham’s Dragusin is also on Roma’s list as a separate option.

December 2025

Rasmus Hojlund scored twice in Napoli’s 2-0 Serie A away win at Cremonese, continuing a strong run since joining on a season-long loan from Manchester United. Conte said the striker is thriving because he is learning the role and applying it more consistently within the team’s structure. Napoli adjusted tactically due to injuries and absences but still created chances through a system that suited Hojlund’s movement and physical presence. His brace followed the Supercoppa win and helped Napoli keep momentum after a recent league wobble, as Conte stressed they are still chasing the top standard.

Zirkzee says yes to Roma as minutes dry up under Amorim at Man Utd

Joshua Zirkzee
December 2025

Zirkzee has reportedly given a verbal green light to join Roma in January after just one goal and four starts this season, having slid behind Sesko and Cunha in United’s striker pecking order. He sees Serie A as the best route to secure regular minutes before the 2026 World Cup. Roma sporting director Ricky Massara and coach Gian Piero Gasperini convinced him he fits their 3-4-2-1 system, but any move hinges on United’s depth during AFCON absences for Mbeumo and Amad. Amorim has warned no exit will be sanctioned without a replacement, arguing the squad is already thin and cannot afford to weaken further.

Musah’s Inter test could redefine his status at Atalanta

Yunus Musah
December 2025

Musah has finally earned a full 90 minutes for Atalanta, taking advantage of injuries and AFCON absences, and now faces a crucial test of trust as his club weigh whether to start him again against league leaders Inter in a demanding midfield battle. Inter’s control through experienced midfielders Nicolò Barella and Piotr Zieliński will severely stress Atalanta’s structure, and another start for Musah would signal growing confidence from Gian Piero Gasperini, while benching him again would underline how fragile his standing remains after a difficult year.

Pulisic and Milan seek statement control win over Verona

Christian Pulisic
December 2025

Milan host relegation-threatened Verona needing a controlled win to maintain pressure in an ultra-tight title race, after dropping points against Sassuolo and losing the Supercoppa Italiana to Napoli, which has slightly stalled their recent momentum. Pulisic, Milan’s most consistent attacking outlet this season, is expected to steady the side by exploiting Verona’s weaknesses and providing end product in a match where efficiency, patience and focus matter more than spectacle if Milan are to keep pace at the summit.

United delay Zirkzee decision as injuries bite and minutes remain scarce

Joshua Zirkzee
December 2025

Manchester United have opted to postpone a call on Joshua Zirkzee’s future until later in January, despite the striker’s limited role. He has made 11 appearances but only four starts, logging 372 minutes and one goal while sitting behind Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha in Ruben Amorim’s No.9 hierarchy. With wide forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo away at AFCON and Bruno Fernandes plus Kobbie Mainoo injured, United are wary of further weakening depth before the window’s final weeks. The club will reassess once the injury and fixture picture is clearer, balancing Zirkzee’s need for minutes against squad protection.
