Serie A clubs have expressed an interest in having the Summer transfer window extended due to the current situation according to a report in today’s print edition of Tuttosport.

If the current season is to end in July, if it does indeed start back up again, clubs would like to see the window extended until the end of September or even early October.

The report from the Turin based newspaper goes on to add that clubs would be willing to have the January transfer window cut short to allow for the Summer transfer window to be extended.

This request is understood to be one of a number that Lega Serie A submitted to the Italian football federation FIGC and European football’s governing body UEFA on behalf of the clubs who are seeking help in these difficult times.

Reports elsewhere in the media have suggested that clubs are also exploring the possibility of players wages being cut, possibly by as much as 30%, to help cushion the financial blow the current situation has caused.

Inter are interested in signing Barcelona full back Nelson Semedo in the upcoming Summer transfer window according to a report from Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo.

As per the report, Inter have officially expressed their interest in signing the Portuguese national team defender to the La Liga giants who are not opposed to potentially letting him leave the club in the coming months.

Semedo joined Barcelona in the Summer of 2017 from Benfica in a €30 million deal and it as yet unclear what sort of price they might demand for the player, who is under contract with them until the end of the 2021/22 season.

This season the 26-year-old has made 29 appearances across all competitions to date. In just over 2100 minutes on the park, Semedo has provided five assists for his Blaugrana teammates.

Reports elsewhere in the media have strongly linked Barcelona with a move for Inter’s Lautaro Martinez and it is understood that Barcelona are willing to do a player(s) plus cash deal for him which could well mean Inter acquire Semedo in such a deal.

He first started talking about Coronavirus and what Italian football might be like once the situation is over.

“What will football be like after the Coronavirus? It will be completely different because these situations make you understand that there are very important priorities and values ​​in life,” the 26-year-old began the interview.

He then went on to discuss how he feels he has played this season and what he has made of Fiorentina as a club.

“I think it was a decent season. I feel everyone’s confidence in me, it makes me do my best.

“In Florence I’m fine, I like the city and the club has ambitious goals. The president has already made great investments.”

Dalbert proceeded to praise teammates Federico Chiesa and Gaetano Castrovilli, both of whom have been strongly linked to Inter recently.

“They are exceptional. They bring an impressive intensity in training and in the game they are delightful. It is a pleasure to have them on the team. They are an added value.”

The former Nice defender then went on to talk about Inter’s Scudetto chances.

“Inter are a great team, they have top level players and an excellent manager, but it won’t be easy to win the scudetto.

“I like Lukaku and Lautaro. They are a well-matched pair. I cannot help but mention Handanovic who, in addition to being an exceptional goalkeeper, is a fantastic person. He helped me in difficult times.”

He concluded by discussing his dreams: “It is already a dream come true for me to be a footballer. I hope to continue at Fiorentina and, why not, also get in the Brazilian national team.”

Barcelona have five players in mind that they will try and insert into a deal for Inter’s Lautaro Martinez according to a report in today’s print edition of Corriere dello Sport.

Lautaro Martinez is seemingly the La Liga giants’ number one target ahead of the upcoming Summer transfer window but rather than pay his €111 million release clause, they are hoping to conduct a player(s) plus cash deal for the highly rated Argentine national team striker.

Jean-Clair Todibo, Arthur, Arturo Vidal, Nelson Semedo and Carles Alena are the five players that Barcelona currently have in mind and they are willing to offer €70 million plus two of the above to the Nerazzurri.

The report from the Rome based newspaper goes on to state that it will all ultimately come down to Lautaro himself. The idea of playing for Barcelona very much tempts him but he would not be against staying at Inter. If he stays, it would be almost certain that he would sign a contract extension.

After initial optimism over the possible resumption of the season, clubs are growing more and more pessimistic about the possibility of the season resuming according to a report in today’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.

Earlier this month Serie A, alongside all sporting activity in Italy, was put on hold by the Italian government until at least April 3 and the country was also placed on lock down due to the global Coronavirus crisis.

In the best case scenario the league could resume some time between May 9 and May 16 but even then it would be particularly difficult for the season to be completed by June 30 like European football’s governing body want. The season may have to spill over into July in order to be completed.

The report goes on to state that the worst case scenario is that the season does not start up again, the possibility of which is growing increasingly likely. Should this happen, the current standings will be final and there will be no relegation from the league although the top two from Serie B would come up meaning a 22 team league next season.

Luigi Sepe’s former manager Marco Baroni has admitted he is not surprised to have seen the Parma goalkeeper linked with a possible Summer transfer window switch to Inter.

Inter are on the look-out for a new goalkeeper capable of playing as back-up to current number one Samir Handanovic and have seemingly sparked an interest in landing Sepe from the Ducali, who are a club they have very good relations with.

Udinese’s Juan Musso was the player that Inter initially courted but upon learning he would cost a lot, it is understood that Inter redirected their attention toward Sepe, who joined Parma this past Summer from Napoli.

“I’m not surprised. I think he can go on to become the starter at a great team,” Baroni who managed Sepe when he was on loan at Virtus Lanciano in the 2013/14 season explained in an interview with Turin based news outlet Tuttosport.

“It would not scare him. He has already done it at Napoli. I think he made the right decision to go to Parma but saying no to a great club like Inter would not be easy.

“All the big teams need a back-up goalkeeper who is just as good as their first goalkeeper. With the many commitments that clubs have these days, you have to have a second goalkeeper who is reliable. Sepe is a very reliable goalkeeper.”

This season Sepe has made 22 appearances across all competitions, in which he has conceded 28 goals and kept five clean sheets.
