• Luciano Spalletti provides updates on Yildiz, Kelly and Conceicao ahead of Lazio clash

  Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has celebrated Kenan Yildiz’s new contract through 2030 and confirmed the attacker is fit for Sunday’s clash with Lazio, even as the manager’s own future remains secondary to club results.  

  ​Juventus have secured the long-term future of breakout star Kenan Yildiz, with the 20-year-old signing a contract extension until June 2030.

  Manager Luciano Spalletti described the renewal as a landmark moment for the Bianconeri project, emphasizing the Turkish forward’s growing influence.

  In a boost for the squad, Spalletti confirmed Yildiz has recovered from recent muscle fatigue and is available for Sunday’s high-stakes encounter against Lazio.  

  ​“We all dressed like this because it’s an important day for Juventus’ future,” Spalletti joked during his press conference.

  Addressing his own expiring contract, the veteran tactician insisted that evaluations can wait, stating: “When I’m able to prove it the way Kenan has, then it could become possible.”

  While Yildiz returns, the club remains cautious regarding Francisco Conceicao and Lloyd Kelly, who face late fitness tests.  

• Liverpool and Arsenal put on Alert as Serie A club target Sandro Tonali homecoming

  Despite intense interest from Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali reportedly prefers a return to Italy this summer to be closer to his family.

  ​Newcastle United are facing a battle to keep star midfielder Sandro Tonali as interest mounts from Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City.

  While the Magpies view the 25-year-old as a “cornerstone of their project,” reports suggest the player’s heart is pulling him back to Italy.

  Following the birth of his first child, Tonali reportedly wishes to settle his family in his home country.

  ​Juventus and Inter Milan are leading the chase for the Italian maestro, though Newcastle remain “adamant they will head into the summer with no intention of sanctioning his exit.”

  Despite the club’s firm stance, Tonali’s agent has confirmed the player will assess his situation. Eddie Howe faces a nervous window as Europe’s elite prepare for what could be a compelling summer saga.

• See the Cremonese incident that resulted in a three-game travel ban for Inter fans

  Inter Milan fans have received a three-match away travel ban after a supporter threw a flare at Cremonese goalkeeper Emil Audero, though the restriction excludes the upcoming Milan derby.

  Inter Milan supporters have been hit with a three-match Serie A travel ban following a dangerous incident during Sunday’s clash at Cremonese.

  A reckless individual launched a flare onto the pitch, narrowly missing home goalkeeper Emil Audero.

  While the 29-year-old escaped unharmed, the Sports Judge moved quickly to penalize the Nerazzurri for the spectator’s violent actions during the league showdown in Cremona.

  The disciplinary ruling is notably less severe than previous road-blocking incidents involving Roma or Napoli fans.

  Officials classified the event as an isolated act without premeditation, occurring under stadium supervision rather than as organized group violence.

  Crucially for Inter supporters, the ban does not apply to March’s highly anticipated Milan derby at San Siro, allowing traveling fans to attend the local rivalry fixture.

• UCL: Premier League clubs learn potential round 16 opponents

  This direct progression allows the English giants to avoid two additional fixtures in February’s busy schedule.

  Newcastle United could join them as the sixth Premier League representative if they overcome either Monaco or Qarabag in their upcoming two-legged play-off tie.

  ​The draw for the knockout stages has already outlined potential paths for the English qualifiers. Arsenal could face the winner of Borussia Dortmund versus Atalanta, while Manchester City may meet either Real Madrid or Inter Milan.

  Reflecting on the difficult route ahead for play-off teams, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said he was “content to go down play-off path” following their draw in Paris.
