Journalist confirms Arsenal interest in £120m rated league winning player Lautaro Martinez https://www.caughtoffside.com/2024/05/24/arsenal-interest-league-winning-player/ The Gunners have been linked with some of the top strikers in Europe at the moment. The general feeling regarding Arsenal is that signing a world class striker can take the team to the next level and make them Premier League champions. The presence of a top class striker in Erling Haaland helped Man City to yet another league title while Arsenal once again failed to beat Pep Guardiola’s team to the finishing line. Italian journalist Fabio Santini has shared an update on the future of Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez and mentioned Arsenal’s interest in the player. The World Cup winner, who has guided his team to Serie A success this season, is currently negotiating a new contract at the club. The Italian giants want to keep the striker at the club but only on their terms. The Argentine attacker currently has a contract at the club till 2026 but the failure to reach agreement on a new deal has alerted potential buyers. Santini has claimed that the Italian giants have offered the player a contract with a salary between a salary between €9 million and €9.5 million (£7.6m-£8.1m) per year. But the striker is demanding €12 million (£10.2m) a year. Santini told TVPlay Official on Twitch: “Arsenal are professing again this morning that they want Thuram. In reality, they would also like to take Lautaro. Inter don’t even take it into consideration. “But, if Lautaro says he wants €10 million plus €2 million salary or he’s leaving, [Inter will say] ‘great, if Arsenal offer €140 million (£120m), we’ll sell you’.” The current situation surrounding the striker looks more like his agent forcing Inter Milan to offer him a better salary. Arsenal’s interest in the striker hasn’t been concrete as the Gunners are looking at other options like RB Leipzig attacker Benjamin Sesko, as reported by The Telegraph. Arsenal should look for other options Arsenal spent £100m on Declan Rice last summer and spending another £120m on Martinez would not be a wise decision financially. That would take most of Arsenal’s summer transfer budget who, along with signing a striker, want to sign a midfielder and a full-back as well. There are few strikers better than Martinez in the market right now as he has shown his amazing form for the Italian giants for a long time now. However, the move does not make sense for the Gunners financially.

Conte wish-list at Napoli includes Lukaku, Skriniar, Kessie https://football-italia.net/conte-wish-list-napoli-lukaku-skriniar-kessie/ With Antonio Conte seemingly close to joining Napoli, it’s reported his wish-list includes Romelu Lukaku, Franck Kessie and Milan Skriniar. Gian Piero Gasperini had been the first choice for President Aurelio De Laurentiis, but instead appears to be in advanced talks to further extend his era with Atalanta. If Conte is appointed, then he will want the squad revamped with numerous new star names and demands certain guarantees for the transfer market. Conte transfer list for Napoli According to agent and intermediary Gigi Iacomino, some of the names have already been mentioned to the Partenopei. They include some old favourites for Conte, namely Lukaku, who he worked with so well at Inter and is currently desperate to leave Chelsea. Napoli expect to sell Victor Osimhen this summer, so need a replacement, and other candidates are Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee or Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen. In defence, Conte is said to want either Torino’s Alessandro Buongiorno or former Inter man Skriniar, who is currently struggling at PSG. Ex-Milan midfielder Kessie is the name mentioned in midfield, as he is in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ahli, but still only 27 years of age. A cheaper option for the left wing is Patrick Dorgu, a 19-year-old who impressed at Lecce.

Pioli hints at post-Milan future: ‘I am learning English’ https://football-italia.net/pioli-hints-post-milan-future-learning-english/ Stefano Pioli hints he might be heading towards the Premier League or at least going abroad after the end of his Milan experience. ‘I am learning English, we’ll see.’ The coach was under contract until June 2025, but the club informed him this week that they intend to go in another direction and he will negotiate a termination by mutual consent. He said goodbye to the players and fans today at a packed San Siro during the 3-3 draw with Salernitana, concluding the campaign in second place. “I experienced emotions thanks to our fans that don’t happen often in the career of a coach,” Pioli told DAZN. “They filled my heart with joy and gratification. I can only be proud of what we did together, to be forever in the history books of such a prestigious club.” Pioli had never won the Scudetto before this and got a tattoo of the symbol with 19 on his forearm, but it was also the first Milan Serie A title in 11 years. “This experience took me to this moment and I want to keep building, if I get the possibility, something special. I am very demanding with myself, I leave my comfort zone. I know what to ask from the club and players, I know what it takes to raise the level again. That is the joy of this profession. “We were the youngest squad to win the Scudetto and I watched these lads become men. I can say that I have the ambition to try to repeat something special.” Pioli looks to Premier League? Will Pioli take a Sabbatical year or look to immediately get back to work elsewhere after five seasons at Milan? “My agent called in recent weeks, I told him don’t tell me anything until the rapport with the club is concluded. I think something could happen over the next 10 days. I need to find something that stimulates me. “I also thought that I could take time off, because just the idea of travelling around watching teams can help you to evolve, to keep learning new things. I don’t feel tired, but I need something convincing.” Among the Premier League clubs looking for a coach there are Chelsea, Manchester United and even Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton and Hove Albion. Did Pioli agree with Milan directors that his era was over? “This is how things happen, eras begin and end, it’s not easy to last as long as we did. I think this is best for everyone.” The coach did drop a rather large hint as to his possible next destination, which could be outside of Serie A. “I am studying English, it might be the right time. We’ll see over the next 10-15 days, which could be decisive, but I don’t feel the pressure to choose anything in particular.” Having been on the end of a lot of criticism over the years at Milan, Pioli learned something about himself. “I realised that I am very resilient and tenacious. This is part of the growth process for a coach. I don’t like coaches who talk too much, above all those who are not working now or worked in the past and talk a lot. They’ve all been through the same things we have, they know judgment could be more balanced.”

Milan left wing under threat from Bayern Munich and Al-Hilal https://football-italia.net/milan-left-wing-under-threat/ Milan stars Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao have attracted serious attention from Bayern Munich and Al-Hilal respectively, reports detail. The Rossoneri are in a state of flux heading into the summer, having just announced the imminent departure of coach Stefano Pioli after five years in charge. Paulo Fonseca is considered the leading candidate to take over in the dugout. Milan fans are hoping to see an important summer transfer window to help close the gap to league winners Inter, but the sale of Sandro Tonali last year shows how RedBird aren’t afraid of selling a star in order to fund other investments, creating some concern in the weeks leading up to the market. Milan duo under threat Page 17 of today’s Tuttosport details how Saudi side Al-Hilal are willing to active the €175m release clause present in Leao’s contract, keen to try and tempt the Portuguese star to make the jump to the Middle East this summer. In the meantime, Bayern Munich are seriously interested in snapping up Theo Hernandez, especially if Alphonso Davies heads off to Real Madrid. The Rossoneri don’t want to lose the Frenchman, but his €8m net salary requests are unlikely to be met by the club.
