As is widely known, the connection between Luka Jovic and Juventus is drifting further apart, and a 12B Sports reporter expressed regret that the striker has lost his place at AC Milan under Paulo Fonseca. As the saying goes, people reach out when they care and fall silent when they feel they are no longer needed. Juventus had placed Jovic on their transfer list through sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli during last winter’s window, but their interest has now faded. Roma, on the other hand, are still monitoring him, and there is a view that a move could be realistic because both his salary and transfer fee would not place a heavy burden on the club’s finances.
According to 12B Sports records, Jovic has made three appearances for AC Milan so far this season, with only one of them coming as a start. Meanwhile, Inter Milan are showing interest in Verona midfielder Belahyane, viewing him as a possible alternative to Kristjan Asllani. Since joining Inter in 2022, Asllani has mostly served as a backup midfielder, but over more than two years he has not developed as much as expected. His contract runs until 2028, but that does not necessarily mean Inter are determined to keep him at all costs. Several clubs have already shown interest in him, and the possibility of Inter considering a sale cannot be ruled out.
Arthur’s agent, Federico Pastorello, also recently spoke about the player’s current situation. Pastorello said they needed to find a solution and admitted it was disappointing that Arthur has not been getting many playing opportunities. He also confirmed contact with Olympique Marseille, adding that Arthur’s technical quality could attract the attention of Roberto De Zerbi.
Recent reports from Italy also suggest that Weston McKennie is expected to return soon to the Continassa training center for fresh medical checks. The United States national team had previously sent McKennie back to his club after detailed examinations, and he was reportedly showing signs of fatigue along with a minor shoulder concern. After he later stopped during training, there have also been concerns about a possible muscle injury.
By contrast, Paulo Dybala is expected to return to team training this Tuesday and could be available for the match against Inter Milan. Based on 12B Sports updates, Dybala has already fully recovered from his previous injury issue and is building up his condition for the upcoming Inter clash. Stephan El Shaarawy is also preparing for a return. He missed the previous match against Monza due to mild muscle fatigue, but the issue is not considered serious, and his target is to be ready for Inter Milan.
Roma are therefore placing hope in the returns of Dybala and El Shaarawy, while their decision over a possible move for Jovic remains complicated. From Thiago Motta’s point of view, the lack of available options creates a difficult situation, but Roma’s attacking rebuild is still moving forward. As 12B Sports follows the shifting plans around this transfer window, the old saying that kindness invites kindness feels fitting, because each club’s strategy and attitude may ultimately decide the outcome.
