👉Pressure on Crystal Palace: awaiting their response
Juventus makes a move: Mateta

The center forward has scored 8 goals in 22 Premier League matches. He has an agreement with the Bianconeri club: a contract until 2029 is ready.

Today’s Front Page Tutto Sport, Tuesday 20 January 2026

👉 Champions League: at 21 Inter-Arsenal and Copenhagen-Napoli
Chivu against the strongest opponents
Conte facing an emergency

The Nerazzurri, who are coming off two consecutive defeats in Europe, face the Premier League and Champions League leaders (with a perfect record): the objective is direct qualification to the round of 16. The Italian champions are obligated to win: injuries abound, Rrahmani and Politano are also out, but Lukaku returns.

👉New push from Juve for Palace player, parties closer
2 million euros for Mateta

Request of 35 million, offer of 2.5 million for the loan plus 30.5 million for the mandatory purchase option in case of qualification for a European competition, for a total of 33 million. En-Nesyri remains the plan B. Tomorrow Benfica: the Spalletti-Mou saga continues.

Torino’s market of disappointments

The defender is open to a transfer to Russia, Botafogo gives Cairo an ultimatum: 7 million euros are needed. For the midfielder, there’s a risk of being overtaken: De Rossi wants him at Bologna. Meanwhile, Como, their next opponent, humiliates Lazio at the Olimpico (3-0) and scares Baroni.

👉9:00: Debut with Gaston
Finally, Sinner

👉Plan de Corones: Go Brignone!

Today’s Front Page Tutto Sport, Monday 19 January 2026

👉Roma’s revenge: 3rd consecutive win in the league, 6th at home
Torino, the house of cards

A completely different story compared to the Coppa Italia. Dybala sets up new signing Malen and scores the 2-0: 4th place. Torino relapses into its disconcerting fragility and pays for the absences of Simeone and Zapata (family reasons): worst defense in the league, 6 points from the relegation zone, more boos. A change is needed, at least in the transfer market. Obrador in the stands: medical tests today. Defense: Ricardo or Simic. Anjorin-Prati: moving forward.

👉 Intense negotiations for the Juventus target
Mateta to Napoli

Today, a new contact with Crystal Palace to get closer to the requested 35 million euros and speed up the process to fill the gap in attack: the striker has already given his approval. For Maldini, Atalanta is asking for a mandatory purchase option, Comolli is proposing a right of redemption, but the parties are getting closer. On Wednesday, Benfica awaits, Spalletti reassures the team after the defeat against Cagliari: “We will win many matches.”

👉1-0 against Lecce: Milan remains 3 points behind Inter
Fullkrug, the anti-Pio
This is what strikers are for

👉 First, they withdrew due to protests, then they triumphed in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Senegal, unbelievable!

👉2-1 in Bologna dedicated to Commisso
Victory and tears
Fiorentina for Rocco

Mandragora and Piccoli seal the first away win.
His wife Catherine: “He would have been proud. Thank you.”

Italian Serie A
  ⚫️🔵  Pisa 1 – 1 Atalanta   ⚫️🔵

Pisa and Atalanta concluded with a draw at the Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani.  Pisa is in urgent need of points to steer clear of relegation and has not secured a win since November 7th, when they achieved a 1-0 victory at home against Cremonese. A fantastic debut for Pisa’s Rafiu Durosinmi, who netted the equalizing goal.  Meanwhile, Palladino’s soaring Atalanta is enjoying a strong run in the league, with three consecutive wins and five victories in their last six games, as they strive to strengthen their position in the European qualification zone.

⚪️⚫️   Udinese 0 – 1 Inter  ⚫️🔵

Inter triumphed at the Bluenergy Stadium, defeating Udinese. Inter achieved a significant victory. The match concluded with a 1-0 score, thanks to Lautaro Martinez’s goal at the 20-minute mark, marking his eleventh goal of the season. These three vital points boost Chivu’s team to 49 points, placing them 6 points ahead of Milan, who are set to play tomorrow at San Siro against Lecce, and 9 points ahead of Napoli, who will face Sassuolo at the ‘Maradona’. This marks Udinese’s second loss of 2026 under Runjaic, leaving them in 10th place with 26 points.

🔵   Napoli 1 – 0 Sassuolo ⚫️🟢

Napoli-Sassuolo concludes with a score of 1-0 at the Maradona stadium in Naples. Antonio Conte’s squad answered Cristian Chivu’s Inter and maintained their position alongside the Nerazzurri, thanks to a decisive goal from Stanislav Lobotka, who made the difference in the 7th minute of the first half. This marks a return to winning ways for the Neapolitan side, who earned three points in front of their home fans, moving past the disappointing draw with Parma. Napoli has now accumulated 43 points.

🔴🔵  Cagliari 1 – 0 Juventus  ⚪️⚫️

Cagliari achieved a significant victory by defeating Juventus at the Unipol Domus. This loss is a tough blow for Juventus, as they struggled to regain momentum in the Scudetto race, suffering a 1-0 defeat on the road. The Sardinians had not triumphed over Juve since July 29, 2020, enduring 10 matches with 8 losses and 2 draws during the Covid-19 pandemic. The key takeaway is that while Spalletti’s team controlled possession, they were unable to penetrate Pisacane’s defense. The celebration at the Unipol Domus erupted thanks to a goal from Luca Mazzitelli, who turned around a rough start to 2026 that included two losses and a draw. In the 65th minute, Mazzitelli found the net with a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the bottom right corner, assisted by Gianluca Gaetano’s cross.

🟡🔵    Parma 0 – 0 Genoa  🔴🔵     

Parma and Genoa concluded with a scoreless draw at the Ennio Tardini Stadium. The teams each earned one point from the match. Genoa controlled the first half, whereas Parma improved in the second half. Corvi triumphed in his matchup against Colombo

🔴🔵   Bologna 1 – 2 Fiorentina  ⚜️ 

Fiorentina triumphed at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. This victory was particularly meaningful as Fiorentina overcame Bologna on the day dedicated to remembering Rocco Commisso, with goals from Rolando Mandragora and Roberto Piccinini. Giovanni Fabbian netted a goal for the home side. With this win, Fiorentina levels up with Lecce, as both teams now have 17 points. Bologna, on the other hand, stays at 30 points, unable to surpass Atalanta.

 🐂      Torino 0 – 2 AS Roma  🟡🔴  

Torino and Roma meet once more, just five days after their Coppa Italia round of 16 clash, which Torino triumphed in with a score of 3-2 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The only changes for this Serie A matchday 21 encounter are the venue and time. Roma has secured 42 points after defeating Torino, while Torino remains at 23 points.

🔴⚫️   AC Milan 1 – 0 Lecce  🟡🔴  

The competition for the Scudetto is heating up. Currently, it’s a close contest between Inter, who have 49 points, and AC Milan, sitting at 46 points. Milan triumphed over Lecce at San Siro. The game was ultimately settled by a slim margin, thanks to the new player Fullkrug, who, shortly after entering the match, skillfully converted a perfect assist from Leao.

🩶❤️   Cremonese 0 – 0 Hellas Verona  🟡🔵     

Cremonese and Hellas Verona concluded with a goalless draw at the Giovanni Zini Stadium.  As a result, Cremonese now shares 11th place with Sassuolo, both having 23 points. Nicola’s squad has established a 6-point cushion above the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Verona remains at the bottom, tied with Pisa, with only 14 points. Both Cremonese and Verona have made slight improvements in their league standings, but it is Hellas Verona that has the most to lament. Zanetti’s side performed significantly better in the second half, yet they were unable to find the winning goal.

  ⚪️🔵   Lazio 0 – 3 Como ⚪️🔵      

A significant setback for Lazio! Como achieved a 3-0 win at the Olimpico stadium.  Como delivered a harsh lesson to Lazio with two goals from Paz and one from Baturina. Lazio is still at 28 points, sitting in 9th place. The pressure is mounting for Lazio to begin accumulating points to ascend into the European Zone. Cremonese has gathered 23 points, placing them in 12th position.

👉Florence and the football world mourn Commisso, who died at 76 years old.
Rocco, a Viola forever.

The sports center is the jewel he left as a legacy to the club, the stadium and the missed trophies his regrets. He sparked controversy, but invested 500 million. The future is in the hands of his wife Catherine. Paratici’s role.

👉Stumble in Cagliari: 1-0
Juventus
Mateta scores immediately!

A fantastic goal by Mazzitelli electrifies the home crowd and punishes the dozens of missed opportunities and wasted crosses by the Bianconeri, who dominated without ever truly threatening Caprile. Yildiz hits the post, and VAR overturns a penalty awarded to Miretti. Spalletti criticizes the tactical errors: “But we were unlucky.”
The Palace center forward is getting closer: a deal worth 28-30 million is in the works.

👉Act 3 of the challenge: Granada, the first two matches
Another Roma. The same Torino?

Gasperini fields new signing Malen.
Baroni: “We need Ilkhan’s energy.” Ngonge if Simeone is out. The five “purged” players are not called up.

👉Udinese and Sassuolo defeated
Inter and Napoli win by a narrow margin
Milan on the attack

Lautaro and Lobotka score, but Conte loses two more players. Allegri faces Lecce tonight.

👉DeLago wins his first World Cup race in Tarvisio
Nicol is free and beautiful
