The long international break will allow Serie A coaches to work with those who stayed at home. Among them are Malen and Marcus Thuram, the former due to injury (although new Netherlands head coach Xavi did not miss the chance to take a swipe at the Roma forward), the latter due to a technical decision by Zinedine Zidane.

These are some of the topics being discussed this morning. Let’s look at the most interesting ones.

Juventus continue to look to the future of their goalkeeping department, and the name at the top of the list is Lorenzo Palmisani . The Frosinone 2004-born goalkeeper is enjoying an excellent start to the season after playing a key role in the club’s promotion to Serie A, and he has attracted the attention of several clubs. The Bianconeri have been following him for some time and, after their assessments in recent months, would like to try to get ahead of the competition. Frosinone, meanwhile, have just tied the goalkeeper down with a new deal until 2031 .

Juventus’ idea would be to secure Palmisani as early as January , then leave him on loan at Frosinone until the end of the season so he can continue playing regularly. It would be a move reminiscent of the one completed for Federico Gatti , signed in January 2022 and left in Ciociaria until June. In the meantime, due to the emergency caused by Grabara’s injury, the Bianconeri are working to bring Neto back to Turin, but the Palmisani project is clearly aimed much further ahead.

The international break is also giving Milan time to work on renewals, and the hottest file is that of Strahinja Pavlovic . The Serbian defender, currently tied to the Rossoneri until 2028, has become a regular in Ruben Amorim’s team and the club would like to extend the agreement until 2031 , with a salary increase. Talks have already started and the player’s wishes seem to align with the club’s: Pavlovic recently reiterated that he feels very good in Milan and wants to stay.

Even interest from the Premier League has not changed his stance: Pavlovic has chosen to continue with the Rossoneri and the club want to reward his development with a new long-term deal, doubling his current salary of €1.7 million per season.

Marcus Thuram is not yet at 100% fitness, but his performances for Inter already tell a different story. In four appearances, the French forward has had a hand in four Nerazzurri goals, with two goals and two assists , all coming in the last three matchdays. He was decisive against Roma too, setting up Lautaro Martinez for the 1-2 after a brilliant run down the left. Numbers that confirm the growth of the No. 9, just left out of Zinedine Zidane’s France squad, but increasingly important for Chivu .
