Atalanta's latest gift to the football world, Marco Palestra, has emerged as the primary target for Europe's elite clubs heading into the winter transfer window. The 20-year-old starlet, a product of the Bergamo youth academy currently excelling on loan at Cagliari, is proving to be much more than a standard right-back. Combining high tactical intelligence with physical dominance, he is taking the market by storm.

Genoa are a big club in Italy and are an established team in Serie A. They have been a regular in the Italian top flight and ended up as high as 13th in the table last season. Daniele De Rossi's side are in danger of getting relegated to Serie B at the end of the season. Genoa are 16th in the standings with 14 points from 15 games.

"I've always said that I want to remain in this place for as long as I'm wanted," Fernandes said. "The moment I feel that I'm not 100% wanted, then I will talk to the club and say that I want to leave. I would like to try the Spanish league because I've never played in Spain. "I would like to play for one of the clubs in Italy that competes for big aims like the league title, especially because I really enjoyed living in Italy."

Domenico Berardi has been a menace in Serie A for several years, and AC Milan know that all too well. Fortunately, he will not feature this weekend. This weekend, Massimiliano Allegri will look to a pretty strong team to get past Sassuolo. He has no interest in dropping points against a team lower in the table again, and hopes to fly to Saudi Arabia with his team at the top.

Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka has been offered to Serie A giants Juventus and Inter Milan as he is reportedly not considered an important player in manager Vincent Kompany's plans. According to an exclusive report from CalcioMercato.it, Goretzka's agents are actively exploring new destinations for the German midfielder, whose contract with Bayern is set to expire on June 30, allowing him to leave for free at the end of the season.

Starting with the hosts, claiming what was a much-welcomed boost earlier in the week as they snatched a 1-0 victory away at Pisa, Parma will be desperate to use that gritty performance as a platform to build on. However, despite eventually dragging themselves over the finish line last season as they clung to their Serie A status, it appears that the Crusaders could be destined for another relegation scrap this time around.

Ireland striker needs to prove his worth to Italian club before the end of the year if he is to stay in Serie A for rest of the season Like any footballer in any league right now, if Evan Ferguson was asked how he thought he was doing and what his hopes for the future were, he'd reply with, "I'm just taking it game by game". But the 21-year-old appears to be running out of games in his time as a Serie A player with AS Roma.

Udinese are an established club in the Italian top-flight who tend to finish in and around mid-table as well as compete for the European places in the Serie A standings. I Bianconeri ended up 15th in the table in the 2023-24 campaign and did better last season. Kosta Runjaic's side ended up as high as 12th in the Serie A table last season and will aim to do as well, if not better, this time around.

Santos beat Cruzeiro 3-0 on Sunday to ensure they will play in Serie A next season, staving off an immediate return to the second tier. They have only been relegated once in their history, with that drop down to the second tier coming in 2023. Neymar has endured an injury-hit campaign, managing just 19 Serie A appearances, but the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star has stepped up for Santos in the run-in, scoring four goals across their last three matches.

Rafael Leao will once again be asked to lead the line for AC Milan tonight against Torino, and the data shows his evolution. Christian Pulisic is expected to miss the game against Torino at the Stadio Olimpico, or at most make the bench. That means that the attack will be on Leao's shoulders again, given his probable partner Christopher Nkunku is really struggling to find form.
