Inter and Juve also compete in the market: at least three targets in common

The green rectangle of San Siro, refurbished after the inauguration of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina, will be the scene of the highly anticipated derby d’Italia that will face the leading Inter team against a Juventus in need of points to conquer the place in the standings necessary to be able to participate in the Champions League 2026-27: the challenge in the challenge is that between Cristian Chivu and Luciano Spalletti, two who know each other very well, thanks to the common experience at Roma, and who esteem each other.

Between the two teams there is a 12-point gap, not even the most optimistic Bianconeri fans still hope the Scudetto can come (also because Milan, Napoli and Roma, which has the same points as the Old Lady, are also in the way) but in their eyes there is still the rocambolic first leg match, which ended 4-3 for the team then coached by Igor Tudor and was decided by a missile fired by Vasilije Adzic toward the goal defended by Yann Sommer, who was then also widely criticized for failing to oppose the young Montenegrin midfielder’s conclusion.

The two clubs have often found themselves negotiating on the market (most recently, the Bianconeri’s unsuccessful attempt to sign a Davide Frattesi who found little space under Simone Inzaghi and not much more under his Romanian successor) but also facing each other by being pounced on the same target. And that is what is happening in these months as well.

"Scandal" for Caterina Balivo: there's an uncle’s in the middle… interista
The presenter, super supporter of Napoli, told that in the family there's a black sheep. Indeed, nerazzurra.
He did so in a recent interview granted to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. "A scandal" she smiled.
Tons of concepts expressed by the good (and beautiful) Campanian conductor.
"Napoli is experienced as a true faith by those born and raised in the city".
His first times at the stadium go back to'childhood, in the Maradona period.
"There'was also Naldi’s Napoli in Serie B and failure. And I was there'I was"
"Then the slow rise with De Laurentiis from Serie C. And there'I was also there".
In the last three years Napoli has won two championships.

"Winning two titles in three years is something huge".

"Conte’s reappointment was the best news of the'year".
"Soccer looks like life: there are ups, downs, falls and restarts".
"When you are on a high you have to rejoice without forgetting that nothing lasts forever".

Three, at least, players that both clubs like: they are a goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, whose experience in England at Tottenham seems to have reached its end credits, and two defenders who are making a name for themselves in Serie A. The first is Tarik Muharemovic, whom the Bianconeri had under contract but who is now at Sassuolo (and the Bosnian born in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, in 2003 is doing very well in neroverde). The second is Zeki Celik, Turkish born in 1997, who for now has not accepted the contract renewal proposal delivered to his entourage by Roma’s management.

If Vicario seems destined to return to the Peninsula, the discourse related to Muharemovic and Celik is different: there are the eyes of foreign clubs on them and, in particular, the Slav likes him in Germany.

At the starting whistle of referee La Penna, of course, only the game will be in mind: teams on the field at 8:45 p.m. at the ‘Scala del Calcio’.

Here are the probable lineups

.

Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Thuram. All. Chivu
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; ConceiƧao, McKennie, Yildiz; David. All. Spalletti
