Serie A’s Sunday slate kicks off with Inter facing Fiorentina at 12:30, but the narrative is dominated by the fallout from Massimiliano Allegri’s sending-off and his controversial remarks regarding Roma. The focus now shifts to the Bianconeri’s precarious position, as Juventus must secure a victory at Lecce to avoid their worst start in the last decade. With only 11 points from seven matches, a win is mandatory to climb to 14 points; a draw would leave Luciano Spalletti with 12 points, mirroring the tally that led to Igor Tudor’s dismissal last season.
Juventus face a historic low while Inter’s starlet seeks a massive pay rise.
Meanwhile, AC Milan navigates a severe selection crisis against Udinese, with key assets including Chukwueze, Gabbia, Gila, Rabiot, and Moreira unavailable. Despite the mounting pressure and recent tensions, President Paolo Scaroni continues to firmly back Ruben Amorim’s project, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. This unwavering support is critical for the Portuguese manager, who requires a crucial league victory to stabilize his tenure and regain momentum in the title race.
Off the pitch, transfer speculation heats up around Inter defender Davide Dimarco. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Italian international is demanding a significant salary increase to approximately €7.5 million per season. If granted, this figure would elevate Dimarco to the status of one of Inter’s highest-paid defenders, signaling his pivotal role in the club’s long-term defensive strategy despite the current squad restructuring.
