Juve open Carnevali era, Szczesny back. D'Amico to Roma, Abate to Torino
Comolli's resignation officially opens the Carnevali era at Juventus, whose board already shows Szczesny's return and Muharemovic's arrival as completed. A day of announcements elsewhere too: Tony D'Amico is Roma's new sporting director and Ignazio Abate is Torino's new head coach.
The day opens and closes in Turin, on the Bianconeri side. Calciomercato.com announces it is official: Comolli resigns with a severance package and Carnevali is Juventus' new CEO. The same outlet profiles the executive who built the “Sassuolo model” through smart signings, player development and capital gains, and sums up the club's requests to the new CEO: a youth-focused, made-in-Italy line. The reshuffle may not be over: according to Calciomercato.com, Spalletti and Chiellini are converging on Tognozzi, who could return to Juve to run the market alongside Ottolini, while the board shows Sbravati's departure to Atalanta.
The new course is already producing effects on the pitch. The Bianconeri board shows Szczesny's return from Barcelona and the arrival of defender Muharemovic from Sassuolo as completed — the first sign of the Carnevali axis with the Emilian club. In goal, the day also brings the Oblak rumour from Atlético Madrid, with Di Gregorio reportedly on his way out, while the deals listed as confirmed for Dibu Martinez and Sorloth remain alive.
At Roma it is Tony D'Amico's day: Calciomercato.com reports the new sporting director is official and points to Greenwood as the possible first signing. The Giallorossi board meanwhile shows Sangaré's transfer to Elche. Incoming leads point mainly to Milan: per Eurosport, “Gasp wants Pulisic”, and there is also the Nkunku rumour, again from Milan. On exits and crossovers: Calciomercato.com's live blog flags Arsenal's interest in Manu Koné, already linked with Inter, and Dodo leaving Florence for 15 million, with Roma indicated by the Viola board as the full-back's destination.
Milan remain Serie A's biggest building site — on the bench. Calciomercato.com frames a four-man casting: Glasner, Jaissle, Amorim and Pochettino are competing for the Diavolo job. With Glasner, the same outlet writes, an agreement is there but Cardinale is taking his time, and Arbeloa has entered the casting; Rangnick, tired of waiting, pulls out: he says no and stays on as Austria coach. The wait is reflected in a transfer market described as “frozen”. Meanwhile the Rossoneri board shows Musah's move to Atalanta as completed, while exit rumours swirl around Pulisic, Nkunku, Gimenez — linked with Lazio — and Modric's future.
An official announcement at Torino as well: Calciomercato.com reports that Ignazio Abate is the new Granata head coach, with a contract until 2028. The Toro board also flags the names of Falcone (Lecce), Strefezza (Parma), Erlic and Montipò (Verona). Fiorentina, beyond the Dodo case, register exit rumours on Kean, Gudmundsson and Gosens. Lazio say goodbye to Jony, who joins Osasuna, and note the Icardi suggestion from Galatasaray. At Inter, Nico Paz dominates the agenda: per Eurosport, the talent “wants to stay at Como, but Real Madrid will decide”. And for Chiesa, on his way out of Liverpool, the board lists half of Serie A: Inter, Napoli, Roma and Como.
Abroad, the day belongs to Real Madrid: according to Eurosport, the first signing for Mourinho is Bernardo Silva, with Rodri reportedly no longer a priority. Rumours that intertwine with Manchester City's situation, whose board lists possible high-profile exits: besides Bernardo, also Rodri, Guehi, Reijnders and Mainoo. Barcelona, for their part, bid farewell to Szczesny, Turin-bound, while Atlético Madrid see Sorloth ever closer to Juventus and note the Oblak rumour. A women's football note completes the day: the board shows Beth Mead's move from Arsenal to Manchester City.
