Lights on at San Siro for the return leg of the Champions League quarterfinals: Inter hosts Bayern Munich after the 2-1 at the Allianz Arena, with a view to the semifinals against Barcelona.

Let's go and discover the most important news of the day related to the 'big' teams in Serie A, while waiting for the kick-off of the Meazza match.

Juventus, uncertain future for Renato Veiga

Renato Veiga was one of the positive surprises of Juventus' winter market, arriving on loan from Chelsea for 4 million plus 1.5 million in bonuses. However, the absence of a buyout option complicates the club's future plans, which finds itself with a valuable player but without guarantees of keeping him in the squad. Tuttosport reports that Maresca, the Blues' coach, strongly wanted to avoid any buyout option, having granted the loan only for temporary needs due to an excess of defenders.

Juventus is evaluating a new attempt to retain the Portuguese central defender. The idea would be to propose to Chelsea an extension of the loan at least until the conclusion of the Club World Cup, thus postponing any market discussion. The eventual definitive purchase appears difficult, given that the English club values him at around 50 million euros.

Milan, Maignan resting: Gimenez towards recovery

Milan, led by Sergio Conceicao, continues its preparation for the match against Atalanta with some news from the infirmary. Mike Maignan observed an additional day of rest, but there is no concern: it's a planned management of his physical condition in a critical moment of the season. The French goalkeeper will therefore be regularly available for the match on April 20 at San Siro.

Good news also for the attack, as revealed by Sky Sport: Gimenez is following a personalized program and could return to group training in the next few days. The goal is to have him available for the match against the Bergamaschi, fundamental for extending the positive streak, which began with the clear 4-0 inflicted on Udinese in the last league match.

Inter, Inzaghi in Al-Hilal's sights

The work done by Simone Inzaghi at Inter has attracted the attention of foreign clubs ready to do anything to take him away from the Nerazzurri. As reported by Sportitalia, Al-Hilal would have identified the Piacenza coach as the name to focus on for their technical project, to the point of being willing to offer him astronomical figures.

Despite the pressure, the possibility of a farewell seems remote: the relationship between Inzaghi and Inter's management is solid, and the club is seriously considering binding him with a new contract. However, the attention from Saudi Arabia represents a warning bell, highlighting the strategic importance of the coach for the club's sporting and economic future.

Napoli, from Marin to defensive alternatives

In Napoli's house, the focus is on the possible presence of Buongiorno for the match against Monza. According to Il Mattino, his recovery would be fundamental to avoid having to redesign the defensive line again. If the defender doesn't make it, Antonio Conte will evaluate whether to trust young Rafa Marin, well-considered within the locker room.

The alternative is a new tactical revolution. It is not excluded that Di Lorenzo will be moved to the center or Olivera, taking advantage of Spinazzola's presence on the flank. A third option remains the five-man defense, a solution already experimented by the coach in the past. There are several solutions on the table, all depending on Buongiorno's physical condition.

Roma, Brobbey and Lucca in the sights

Roma continues to win, but with difficulty, as highlighted by Claudio Ranieri after the 1-0 wins against Empoli and Lecce. The coach reiterated how the lack of a top-level striker affects the team's offensive effectiveness: "If you don't have a Batistuta, a Gerd Müller, or an Inzaghi, you have to invent something else". The problem of finishing has been indicated as a priority for the next market.

Ranieri has already spoken with Ghisolfi and the candidates for the bench to define a strengthening plan. With the renewal of Shomurodov and the confirmation of Dovbyk, Roma is looking for a third striker. Among the followed names, Lorenzo Lucca stands out, a protagonist with Udinese and now in the national team, and Brian Brobbey, the Ajax striker observed already in January.

Lazio, Provedel in Torino's sights

Torino is preparing for a possible farewell to Milinkovic-Savic and is already evaluating alternatives. As reported by La Stampa, the granata club would be monitoring Ivan Provedel of Lazio. The goalkeeper is losing space in the hierarchies after the rise of Mandas, a starter in both the league and the Europa League.

Torino's interest is concrete, also due to the relatively contained costs: to secure Provedel, about 7 million euros could be enough. Another hot name is Lorenzo Montipò of Verona, but the profile of the biancoceleste goalkeeper is appealing for experience and reliability. The situation remains evolving, also linked to the future of the Serbian player.

Fiorentina, De Gea renewal and Juventus hypothesis

David De Gea is at the center of Fiorentina's future evaluations. According to SportMediaset, the Spanish goalkeeper, linked to the viola by a contract until 2025 with a unilateral option for 2026, remains a welcome name for the next season. However, the club would prefer him to express his willingness to stay, ideally in case of European qualification.

Juventus, meanwhile, is looking around and seems not fully satisfied with Michele Di Gregorio, thus opening up to new profiles. Among these, De Gea could represent an interesting opportunity, in case Fiorentina does not exercise the option. The goalkeeper's stay in Tuscany therefore remains linked to the end-of-season goals.
