Roma get the Paulo Dybala injury news they needed vs. Juventus

Matches between Serie A powerhouses Juventus and Roma are always a big deal, but they mean even more nowadays because of the history between current Roma superstar Paulo Dybala and the Bianconeri, as well as the fact that both clubs are competing evenly for European spots. The Argentinian "jewel" Dybala has been held back by injuries a bit in the 2025/26 season again, and after recovering from hamstring issues, he has most recently missed a handful of matches with knee problems. Angelo Mangiante of Sky Sport Italia now reports that Dybala was able to test OK on Friday, practicing with his Roma teammates and has the green light to play against the Bianconeri on Sunday in the biggest Serie A matchup of the weekend. Meanwhile, the other left-footed star right winger/playmaker at Roma...

Juventus just lost out on their dream goalkeeper transfer target

Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio has been a major disappointment this season, but Atalanta star Marco Carnesecchi may no longer be an option to usurp him as a starter in 2026/27. Carnesecchi has been one of the elite goalkeepers in Serie A these last couple of seasons, and the young shot-stopper is coveted by all the elite clubs in European football with at least some interest in a keeper, including Arsenal. But now, according to transfer insider Matteo Moretto, Carnesecchi is set to sign a contract extension with Atalanta. His contract was set to expire in the 2027/28 season, which put some pressure on Atalanta to potentially sell this summer. Now, though, a new deal means Carnesecchi is locked in for the future in Bergamo, with Atalanta now pushing again for Champions Lea...

Juventus get majorly disappointing Sandro Tonali transfer news

Juventus have been dreaming of signing Sandro Tonali for years, and even though there have been transfer rumors linking the Newcastle United star with a return to Serie A, it sounds like those rumblings may have been wide of the mark. According to a fresh new report from Newcastle beat writer Craig Hope of the Daily Mail, Tonali is not actually planning on returning to Italy, where he once played for both Brescia and AC Milan. Per Hope, Tonali actually believes that staying with Newcastle and playing under Eddie Howe is better for his career. Tonali reportedly believes that the Premier League is stronger and more competitive than Serie A. If that's the case, then it does not fully rule out a Manchester United or Arsenal transfer for Tonali, who is wanted by many clubs around Europ...

Juventus confirm their Luciano Spalletti decision after brutal Champions League exit

Juventus are still way off the Serie A title pace and were just eliminated in cruel fashion by Galatasaray in the Champions League, but the Bianconeri are not about to make the legendary Luciano Spalletti the next great manager sacrificed at the altar of the Old Lady. Speaking to the media after the game, legendary Juventus center back and current Director of Football Giorgio Chiellini told reporters at Sky Sport Italia, via Fabrizio Romano, that Juve's opinon have not changed due to the Champions League exit and that they are continuing their efforts to extend the former Napoli Scudetto winner as their manager: “New deal for Luciano Spalletti has never been in doubt. It’s among our priorities. We will meet soon to discuss deal details." Although Juve nearly made a roaring second ...

Victor Osimhen teases potential Juventus transfer

Victor Osimhen was one of the best strikers in Serie A and won Capocannoniere in 2022/23 when the Partenopei won the Scudetto, and while he is out of the spotlight in Turkey with Galatasaray, he still had time to make mincemeat out of Juventus in the Champions League. Juve could not sign Osimhen from Napoli since they were not offering competitive enough transfer bids to their rivals down south, nor did Napoli even entertain selling the Nigerian superstar to an elite top five club, instead sending him to Turkey. Although Osimhen did not score in a first leg 5-2 blowout of Juventus in the Champions League play-in round's first leg, his all-around work rate and play destroyed the Bianconeri, embarrassing Lloyd Kelly in particular. As Alessandro Del Piero and other Juventus legends a...

Arsenal to battle Juventus for one of Serie A’s elite goalkeepers

Arsenal already have one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League in David Raya, but that has not stopped them from showing interest in top young keepers. Their latest target is Atalanta star Marco Carnesecchi, who is one of the finest shot-stoppers in a Serie A loaded with goalkeeping talent. Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport reports that Arsenal have joined the biggest club in Italy, Juventus, with interest in Carnesecchi, who had previously been linked to Manchester United before the Red Devils ultimately signed Senne Lammens. Carnesecchi is a human highlight reel and has been one of Serie A's best keepers statistically over the past couple of seasons. The Atalanta star has save percentages of 74.3, 75.4, and 79.0 in the last three seasons, so he is getting better and be...

Ranking the 25 best Serie A players of the 2025/26 season so far

Briefly, Serie A was bucking the trend of being a league known for its top-notch defensive quality by having high-scoring games and open play, but that period has ended almost as quickly as it began. Although there are a few attacking standouts in Serie A these days like Lautaro Martinez and Nico Paz, the best players in the league right now are defenders. The Italian top flight, pound for pound, has the best central defenders and goalkeepers, and these players make up the majority of the list of the best footballers in the league in the 2025/26 season. Here are the top 25 players of the current campaign thus far, and while Inter Milan predictably dominate the rankings, the rest of the spread is pretty even among the other European contenders in Calcio. 25.

Ranking the 15 best goalkeepers in world football in 2026

You would think the goalkeeper position would be the easiest to evaluate on the football pitch, because, well, goalkeepers are more stationary than other players and can be largely evaluated on how successful they are at stopping the other team from scoring. But it isn't really that simple. Although goalkeepers are primarily asked to make saves, ask any Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur fan how much having a goalkeeper who does not command the box well or makes basic errors in possession can totally destroy your team's sense of stability. There is also the matter of reputation. Many goalkeepers can skate by on a reputation built up over the years of greatness, whereas some younger goalkeepers find it more difficult to gain a foothold for this reason. Finally, there is the mat...

2025/26 Ballon d’Or Power Rankings after Matchday 1 of the Champions League

Even though we haven't learned who the official Ballon d'Or winner of the 2024/25 season is as Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Demebele fight for the award, all of the European leagues have played at least three games domestically and the first Matchday of the 2025/26 Champions League is already completed. So now is a good time to start the Ballon d'Or Power Rankings as an early barometer of the season to come for key individuals and breakout stars in European football this season. Since it's extremely difficult for defensive players to carry the team, go above and beyond, and capture the imagination of fans and the voters, this list is heavily skewed towards attacking players. You'll also find no players from Ligue 1 or the Premier League in this top 10. There's no bias in these leagues...
