Inter beat Napoli 3-2 with late Lautaro Martínez winner

Uncategorized

Inter came from 2-0 down to beat Napoli 3-2 at San Siro on Saturday night, producing a dramatic comeback between the last two Scudetto winners.

The defending champions appeared to be heading for defeat until close to the hour mark, but Lautaro Martínez sparked the turnaround with two goals. His second arrived in the 91st minute to complete Inter’s comeback.

Marcus Thuram also played a key role, heading home the equalizer around ten minutes before Martínez’s decisive strike.

Inter come back against Napoli

The two sides met in Milan for a Matchday 3 Serie A clash that lived up to expectations as a top-of-the-table encounter.

Napoli held a 2-0 advantage until close to the hour mark, putting Inter under pressure in front of their home supporters.

The Nerazzurri responded with a determined comeback, with Martínez eventually scoring twice to turn the game in Inter’s favour.

Thuram’s headed equalizer came around ten minutes before Martínez delivered the decisive moment in the 91st minute.

Lautaro Martínez seals Inter victory

Martínez’s second goal completed the comeback and gave Inter a 3-2 victory after they had trailed 2-0.

The Argentine’s late strike proved to be the difference between the sides, with Inter recovering from their difficult position to secure all three points.

The victory keeps Inter at the top of the Serie A table and preserves their perfect start to the season.

Inter have now won all three of their matches, while Napoli were unable to hold onto their two-goal lead.

Napoli drops into Serie A mid-table

While Inter remain leaders with three wins from three, Napoli’s start has been much less successful.

The defeat leaves Napoli with one victory and two losses from their opening three matches, putting them in 10th place.

The Serie A action continues on Sunday evening when Juventus hosts AC Milan at 8:45 p.m.

Como beat Genoa 4-1 as Fabregas inspires comeback victory

Uncategorized

Como came from behind to beat Genoa 4-1 in a convincing Serie A victory, overturning an early Milutin Osmajic goal with strikes from Martin Baturina, Nico Paz, and an Assane Diao brace.

The Lariani arrived in good spirits after their 2-1 away win against Napoli, while deadline-day signings Moise Kean and Robert Sanchez were waiting on the bench for their Como debuts. Only Jayden Addai was unavailable through injury.

Genoa, meanwhile, were looking for a response after defeats by Napoli and Lazio without scoring. Lorenzo Venturino, Joi Nuredini, Hamed Traore, and Elias Havel remained out, while Djibril Sow and Osmajic made their first starts.

Como fight back after Genoa takes the lead

Como created the first opportunities, with Justin Bijlow getting fingertips to a Yan Couto effort before denying Nico Paz from distance. However, Genoa took the lead against the run of play.

Lorenzo Colombo broke forward down the left against Como’s high defensive line before rolling the ball across the box. Osmajic got ahead of Trevoh Chalobah and finished from close range to put the hosts in front.

Como responded with an equaliser from Baturina. The midfielder received the ball well outside the penalty area and drilled a right-footed shot into the far bottom corner.

The visitors then completed the turnaround when Leo Ostigard only managed to graze his head against an Alex Valle cross. The ball fell to Diao at the back post, and he kept his volley low to give Como the lead.

Nico Paz puts Como 3-1 ahead

Como continued to control possession and extended their advantage before half-time. After a long spell of passing, Yan Couto sent a chipped ball over the defence towards Nico Paz.

Paz controlled it with his left foot, allowed the ball to bounce, and then fired a right-footed shot into the near top corner to make it 3-1.

Genoa attempted to respond after the break, while Tasos Douvikas saw his header skim the crossbar before being replaced by debutant Kean. Kingsley Ehizibue also made his first appearance for Genoa.

Como came close to adding a fourth when Paz collected a weak clearance on the edge of the area and struck the post with a first-time effort.

Assane Diao completes Como’s 4-1 win

Kean eventually made an immediate impact on his debut, combining with Maxence Caqueret in midfield before driving forward. He then unselfishly rolled the ball across to Diao, who finished with an angled shot to complete his brace.

Junior Messias nearly produced a spectacular response for Genoa in the final minute, but his back-heel flick from a corner went just wide.

The defeat means Genoa have now lost their opening three Serie A matches of the season, while Como leaves with a 4-1 victory after turning the game around following Osmajic’s early goal.

Pape Sarr joins Juventus from Tottenham on loan

Uncategorized,

Pape Matar Sarr has completed a deadline-day move to Juventus, joining the Serie A side on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal that could eventually become permanent.

The initial loan has cost Juventus €2.8 million, with an obligatory purchase clause worth €27.5 million. The clause will be activated if Juventus qualifies for either the Champions League or Europa League and Sarr appears in 50% of the matches available to him.

Juventus find midfield depth with Pape Sarr

Sarr’s arrival comes after Juventus had looked to add greater reliability to their midfield. The Bianconeri had been interested in bringing Franck Kessié back to Serie A, but although the midfielder has returned to Italy, he opted for a second spell with Atalanta instead.

That leaves Sarr as another midfield option for a Juventus side that will need additional legs throughout the campaign. The 23-year-old already has more than 100 Premier League appearances and over 40 senior caps for Senegal, giving him a considerable amount of experience despite his age.

The former Metz player had been highly regarded during his time in North London, but he spent the summer seeking a departure. His opportunities had decreased towards the end of last season following his return from a shoulder injury, while the arrivals of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes pushed him further down the Tottenham pecking order.

Sarr faces competition at Juventus

Moving to Juventus does not necessarily mean Sarr will immediately become a regular starter. The midfielder is unlikely to be the first name on the team sheet, while Juventus also cannot expect him to provide the same level of midfield control that Kessié would have offered.

Even so, the agreement represents a relatively low-risk move that could benefit everyone involved. Juventus gets another option in the middle of the pitch, while Sarr has an opportunity to demonstrate what he can offer in a different environment.

Pape Sarr brings midfield versatility

Sarr has developed a reputation as a flexible midfielder who can operate in both deeper and more advanced positions, although the No. 8 role remains his strongest position.

His ability to resist pressure has often been questioned, but his movement, positioning and pressing have earned praise throughout his spells with Metz and Tottenham. His ability to establish himself in Ange Postecoglou’s Premier League side also underlined his capacity to perform in high-intensity matches.

Serie A gives Sarr room to develop

Serie A could provide Sarr with an opportunity to address some of the weaknesses in his game while making the most of his existing qualities. The slower tempo and more cerebral nature of the Italian league could give him the platform to continue developing as a midfielder.

Luciano Spalletti may have opportunities to use him, particularly during the opening half of the season, allowing Sarr to demonstrate his value and show how much he can improve. Whether that is enough to convince Juventus to keep him permanently should become apparent before the decisive stages of the campaign.

Willy Gnonto joins Fiorentina on loan from Leeds

Uncategorized,

Leeds United have confirmed that Willy Gnonto has completed a loan move to Fiorentina, with the agreement including an option to buy. The overall package is worth €21m, covering the loan fee, potential future transfer fee, and add-ons.

The Italy international returns to his home country after Leeds allowed him to travel to Italy on Monday to complete the move. Gnonto was subsequently pictured wearing Fiorentina training gear as the deal moved toward completion.

Willy Gnonto completes Fiorentina loan move

Leeds were prepared to let Gnonto leave only if they could bring in another attacker before the transfer deadline. The club are therefore working on a deal for France Under-21 winger Jean Matteo-Bahoya, who currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Gnonto joined Leeds in August 2022 and went on to become an important part of the squad. He made just under 150 appearances for the club during his time at Elland Road.

Leeds United winger leaves after promotion campaign

The forward played a key role in Leeds’ successful 2024/25 Championship campaign, scoring nine goals and registering six assists as the club won the Championship title.

Last season, Gnonto made 29 appearances across all competitions. His contributions helped Leeds remain in the Premier League, while the club also reached the FA Cup semi-finals.

Fiorentina add Gnonto to their squad

Fiorentina will now have Gnonto available as they look to improve on their 15th-place finish in Serie A last season. The Italian club is currently led by Fabio Grosso.

The Viola had also reached the UEFA Conference League semi-finals during the previous campaign, giving the club another target to build on as they prepare for the new season.

Leeds looks to replace Gnonto before deadline

While Gnonto begins the next stage of his career in Florence, Leeds are continuing their search for an attacking replacement. Their interest in Jean Matteo-Bahoya is part of the club’s efforts to ensure they can cover the departure.

For Fiorentina, the deal brings Gnonto back to Italy on a temporary basis, with the option to make the move permanent included in the agreement.

Juventus makes a €30m bid for Man Utd striker Joshua Zirkzee

Uncategorized,

Juventus have reportedly made a new offer to Manchester United for Joshua Zirkzee as they look to strengthen their attack following the serious injury to Kenan Yildiz.

The Dutch striker prefers a move to Juventus over Fiorentina and has been hoping for a return to Serie A. At the same time, the Bianconeri have contacted Newcastle United about Nick Woltemade as a possible alternative, while Jonathan David is getting closer to a move to Atletico Madrid.

Juventus make new €30m bid for Zirkzee

According to Sky Sport Italia, Juventus have put a new proposal on the table for Manchester United involving a paid loan with an option to buy for €30m.

Zirkzee has been eager to return to Serie A for months and was reportedly stalling on Fiorentina’s interest because he hoped Juventus would eventually make an approach for him.

The Bianconeri are looking for at least one new striker after Yildiz’s serious injury. However, their priority is also affected by the expected departure of Jonathan David, with Juventus reportedly in advanced negotiations to loan him to Atletico Madrid with an option to buy.

Juventus consider Newcastle’s Woltemade as Plan B

Sky Sport Italia also reports that Juventus have a Plan B and have contacted Newcastle United to ask about the availability of Woltemade.

The Newcastle center forward has already been linked with a move to Serie A in recent days, with reports claiming that Napoli had made an approach for him.

Zirkzee remains Juventus’ first choice, which creates a problem for Fiorentina. The Viola will not allow Moise Kean to join Como until they have secured a replacement.
