Davide Frattesi's return to Lazio has aroused great interest, especially after his previous proposal from Juventus. The former Inter player, who had attempted to bring him to Turin in the summer, instead decided to return to his Juventus "home", accepting new responsibilities within the club where he grew up. Frattesi, now one of the points of reference in Lazio's midfield, is preparing to challenge Juventus in a match that could influence the top positions of the table. The midfielder fondly remembers his first goal against Juventus, scored in 2021 while playing for Sassuolo, and hopes to replicate the same emotion by wearing the Lazio shirt.
Meanwhile, Milan are in full negotiations to renew Adrien Rabiot's contract until 2030. The Frenchman demonstrated his importance during the Europa League, contributing to three of Alphadjo Cisse's three goals and initiating the first two actions that led to the goals. According to Corriere dello Sport, the club intends to sign the extension by the end of 2026, with discussions with the player's mother having already begun. The club also signed Pavlovic in the same week, and Rabiot is expected to complete the renewal process shortly after.
At the same time, Milan is trying to consolidate the future of Alphadjo Cisse. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that a first meeting will be held next week between the Rossoneri club and representatives of CАA Base, the agency that manages its interests. The aim is to increase his salary, currently just over 500,000 euros per year, and extend the contract beyond 2030, as the current agreement ends in 2029. A possible “white smoke” could occur before Christmas, if the negotiations are successful.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have announced a drastic cost cut, laying off 60 staff. The decision was made in parallel with the renewal of manager MikelArteta, who received a new contract until 2030 with an annual salary of more than £20 million, making him the highest paid manager in the Premier League. Arteta defended the choice, explaining that the analysis conducted at club level highlighted the need to reallocate resources to assign more suitable roles and continue to invest towards the set objectives. The club hopes that reducing costs will allow it to maintain competitiveness without compromising its pursuit of success.
