This will be the fourth Milan derby of his career. Doveri has already refereed Milan 0-3 Inter in 2021 during Covid, Milan 1-1 Inter also in 2021, Inter 0-3 Milan last season (second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final), and finally Milan 0-2 Inter in 2019.
It'll be a tough match. Inter are ahead in the table and will probably play with less pressure than us. But the derby is a game in itself: each match is different. I expect a very competitive game and I hope we can win.
Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada have reached an agreement with the agents of André, a talented Brazilian midfielder who is 19 years of age and have documents signed by the Corinthians board of directors. The deal is worth approximately €15m in fixed terms, plus €2m in bonuses and a 20% resale clause.
We had to win this match and we won. Against Inter it will be a different game, I wouldn't say decisive, but the derby is always a challenge everyone feels. I ask my teammates to give their all and take it personally because it's a do-or-die match.

Before his injury, Luciano Spalletti had put Vlahovic back at the centre of his plans. This confidence may change his mind, while the striker - with his professionalism and sense of belonging - has impressed the management. The central issue remains his salary. Juventus are open to discussing a new deal, but on a different financial basis than in the past.

He was struggling at Man United when Napoli showed faith in him and signed him.
