💣 Milan eye Scott, battle for Endrick and Yildiz's price: today's news 🔥

On the day Lionel Messi bids farewell to the national team (here is a video he posted today), Serie A teams are preparing for the league to resume.

Let's look at today's biggest news involving Serie A's top clubs.

Juventus, Yildiz's price tag

Speaking to BetNews, transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio discussed Yildiz's price tag: close to €150 million.

Arsenal and Tottenham's interest was genuine in recent transfer windows, but Juventus have always rebuffed every approach for the Turkish player.

Milan eye Alex Scott and lead the race for Endrick?

According to TMW, Milan are starting to look around for Modric's successor: one name they like is Alex Scott, born in 2003, who plays for Bournemouth, where he is a key player.

His contract expires in 2028, so there could be an opportunity this summer to slightly lower the very high asking price set by the Cherries.

Meanwhile, according to Matteo Moretto, Milan reportedly have a slight edge over Roma for Endrick, thanks to Cardinale's excellent relationship with the Roc Nation agency. The striker is getting little playing time and could leave on loan, but the final decision will be his.

Inter, Diouf enjoying his new role

Andy Diouf, speaking from France's training camp, once again discussed his new role: "I'm enjoying myself as long as I'm on the pitch, whether on the left or the right, I try to do my best. I'm trying to learn as quickly as possible with the team and the staff".

A slight step back—at least in his public comments—after his statement: "My goal is to return to midfield", reported by L'Équipe in mid-September.

Napoli, Anguissa could leave in January

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli are reportedly considering selling Anguissa during the January transfer window, given the difficulties in reaching an agreement on a contract extension.

The idea is to bring in as much money as possible and save on wages, before the player leaves on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Roma, could Wesley be the key to Endrick?

As reported by Matteo Moretto, Roma and Milan are the frontrunners to sign Endrick on loan in January, should Real decide to let him go.

Roma could benefit from the presence of Wesley, writes Corriere dello Sport, who is friends with Endrick thanks to the bond the two formed with the Brazilian national team. Milan, meanwhile, can count on the excellent relationship between Cardinale and the Roc Nation agency.

Lazio, Pandev reveals the background to his departure and dealings with Lotito

In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport's Crazy Calcio Show, Goran Pandev revealed the story behind his departure from Lazio: "Lazio meant everything to me at that time. I wanted to stay at Lazio at all costs, but, as everyone in Rome knows, renewing a contract was a drawn-out process. It went on for days, and we would wait for Lotito in his office for up to 24 hours, but he never showed up.

"I was having the time of my life, the fans loved me, I was playing well and had gained confidence. I was genuinely so happy in Rome. I hoped to renew my contract and stay there, because I wasn't particularly keen on a change".

Fiorentina, Beto: "I've changed since my time in Udine"

In an interview with Sky Sport, Beto discussed his current situation and Serie A: "I really like Viola Park. I'm settling in really well. I've changed; when I was in Udine, I didn't have much experience. Now I feel calmer and more aggressive in what I do."

"I think Serie A is more difficult now, before it was more about defending and tactics. It's becoming a fantastic league again. People always tell me, ‘I've picked you for my fantasy team,’ but I'm used to that. I just want to score, but if it's a ‘Beto-style goal,’ even better".
