On the day Italy return to action with Roberto Mancini on the bench and the return of the Italian Super Cup to Italy is made official ( here are the details ), the work of Serie A’s big clubs does not stop.

Let’s take a look at today’s most important news.

Openda has made a positive start to his spell at Lyon and, for this reason, he has been called up by Mark V an Bommel’s Belgium side, with the coach also mentioning the Bianconeri in his press conference: "Openda is doing very well and that’s why he’s here. [...] If you want clarification on the matter, you’ll have to ask Juve what didn’t work out."

Meanwhile, French outlet But! reports that the French club want to sign Openda on a permanent deal: his value is said to be around 25 million, but Lyon’s financial difficulties make such a move difficult.

Tomori and Loftus-Cheek’s contracts expire in 2027, but their situations are different: the defender has been told to find another team, and the Rossoneri hope he can accept a move as early as January so they can save on wages.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , Loftus-Cheek, on the other hand, could see out his contract because he is part of Ruben Amorim’s plans, despite gradually losing his place at the start of the season.

As Lionel Scaloni said in his press conference, Lautaro has been named one of Argentina’s "vice-captains" : "The new captain will be Cuti Romero. [...] There’s also Emiliano Martínez who can wear it, Rodrigo De Paul, and Lautaro can wear it too."

The situation could of course change depending on Scaloni’s future, as he is not certain to continue through 2027. Tyc Sports reports this.
