The Milan derby promises to be one of the most anticipated events of the season, with Milan and Inter preparing to challenge each other on an evening that promises to be full of spice. At the opening of the press conference, Ruben Amorim reiterated his determination not to be influenced by the rivalry, underlining that his priority is the performance on the pitch and not the comparison with the rival club. In turn, Chivu sought to allay concerns that the distance in the standings could give the Nerazzurri an advantage, adding that he is not certain he will remain on the pitch with Inter until 2031.
Meanwhile, Milan have formalized the renewal of Christian Pulisic's contract, who will now remain in the team until 30 June 2031. The attacker, who arrived in July 2023, has been described as one of the team's protagonists thanks to his technique, personality and consistency of performance. The club expressed satisfaction with Pulisic's contribution and were pleased to announce his long-term stay.
On the transfer front, Napoli revealed that they have recovered Jeff Ekhator, who has returned to participate in the group's training sessions in preparation for the match against Juventus. The striker, who had a brief absence due to injury, is back in shape and ready to contribute to the team ahead of Sunday evening's match at the Stadium. Ekhator was welcomed with enthusiasm by coach Spalletti, who sees him as a useful element for the next match.
Furthermore, the Neapolitan club is evaluating new options to strengthen the offensive line and replace Hojlund. Among the candidates, Mohamed Ali Zoma, an Italian international who currently plays for Nuremberg, is considered a possible replacement for Lucca. For the left wing, Alessio Cacciamani is another alternative, although Torino have expressed interest in the player, valuing him at over 40 million euros. Napoli, therefore, is trying to guarantee greater security in attack, exploring various market proposals.
With the Milan derby scheduled and the teams preparing to give their all, Italian football is preparing for an evening of great entertainment. Milan, with the renewal of Pulisic and the determination of Amorim, and Inter, with Chivu trying to maintain motivation, will face each other in a match that promises to be decisive for the standings. In the meantime, Napoli continues to work on the market, trying to strengthen its team to face future challenges.
