Conte Exit Looms Over Napoli Summer
Antonio Conte is reportedly preparing to leave Napoli at the end of the 2025-26 season, a major development for a club that had hoped his experience would stabilize another title challenge. The report says the decision follows internal discussions with the club's leadership, although Napoli have not issued an official statement.
If confirmed, Conte's departure would trigger another managerial shake-up in Serie A and immediately reshape Napoli's planning for next season. His exit would also add to a summer of uncertainty across Italy's top clubs, with elite benches already under pressure and the market for experienced coaches tightening.
Juventus Slip to Sixth After Fiorentina Defeat
Juventus' Champions League hopes were dealt a heavy blow after a 2-0 home defeat to Fiorentina, leaving Luciano Spalletti's side sixth and two points outside the top four. The other teams in the race - Napoli, Milan, Roma and Como - all won, widening the pressure on the Bianconeri with only one round left.
The result is significant because missing the Champions League would cost Juventus financially and weaken their pull in the transfer market, while rivals continue to bank momentum. With the table so tight in the penultimate round, Juventus now need help as well as a strong finish to avoid a costly miss.
Milan Eye Icardi As Striker Search Intensifies
Milan have turned their attention to Mauro Icardi as they look to solve their scoring problems, with reports saying the club want to offer the Galatasaray forward an attractive proposal.

For Serie A clubs, the call-ups are a reminder that performances in Italy still carry global weight. Bremer and Wesley's inclusion also raises their profiles heading into the summer, with international exposure often amplifying both market value and squad importance.
