Bellanova could leave Bergamo, Cambiaso’s future at Juve is still to be decided, Palestra could spark a bidding war, and with Dumfries entering a crisis with Inter…
There’s traffic on the right wing. They start from far back and often get all the way to the end: they are the best wingers in Serie A. And inevitably, they are at the center of the transfer market. It is no coincidence that in recent months, fullbacks (as they were once called) are making the difference. This has also had positive effects for the national team. In blue, Gattuso continues to place his trust in the tried and tested Di Lorenzo, protagonist of Napoli’s championships and clearly effective in his role. Meanwhile, however, Andrea Cambiaso’s star has begun to shine at Juventus: to tell the truth, he also does well on the opposite flank, he is an eclectic player, capable of performing at his best in attack, as well as covering defensively. It is no coincidence that the Bianconeri were tempted by the Premier League last summer. Arsenal, in particular, courted him with an offer of close to €40 million. However, he decided to pledge his loyalty to Juventus. It will be interesting to see what happens in the summer, given the developments at Continassa. And assuming that his name continues to be highly regarded.
From Bellanova to Palestra— Raoul Bellanova has also made a name for himself at Atalanta, coincidentally also joining the senior national team. He is furthering his career in Bergamo after successful experiences in Cagliari and Turin. In any case, first with Gasperini and now with Palladino, he seems destined to refine his repertoire even further. Needless to say, there is also considerable interest in him from abroad. But this start to the season has above all highlighted the progress of Marco Palestra, who plays for Cagliari. The powerful winger from Buccinasco grew up at Atalanta, but after positive seasons with the Under-23s, he is now making his mark in the top flight. Inevitably, his performance has caught the attention of our big clubs, as well as the eyes of Premier League scouts. Both Inter and Juventus are certainly following him closely, both on the hunt for new resources in that role. In Turin, they need to verify Cambiaso’s loyalty, but even if he were to stay, it would be more than useful for Spalletti to have two interchangeable arrows on both flanks.

From Dumfries to Norton-Cuffy— Meanwhile, Inter are currently experiencing a crisis in their relationship with Dutchman Dumfries. It can therefore be deduced that Marotta and Ausilio are also focusing on Palestra. No less important is the opportunity at Genoa. The reference is inevitably to Brooke Norton-Cuffy, the English talent who is tempting Inter and Juve, as well as Napoli. However, a move to England for him should not be ruled out. In short, it is inevitable that the powerful clubs in the world’s richest league will snap up the emerging names in Italy. In this regard, it is also worth taking a look at Bologna. At Vincenzo Italiano’s academy, Sweden’s Emil Holm is making a name for himself as an assist man, with four to his name. Behind him, Nadir Zortea, who has just arrived from Cagliari after a more than satisfactory season, is also improving. There are also very interested observers in their case. It is true that the Emilia-based club has ambitious goals, but the courtship is clearly tempting.
new entry— The progress of Portuguese player Danilo Veiga, who arrived in Lecce a year ago and is now delivering some very convincing performances under Eusebio Di Francesco, is also worth mentioning. In general, it is interesting to note that progress in this delicate role is the result of overall technical and tactical work. Midfield spaces are becoming increasingly congested. That’s why those who play on the wings are being given ever greater responsibilities. They are now universal players, good at everything. This is another reason why everyone is starting to envy us a little.
