Fiorentina have no interest in selling Inter linked midfielder Gaetano Castrovilli and are considering offering him a new contract, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper la Repubblica.

The report details how the 23-year-old Italian midfielder, who is contracted to the Florence based club until 2024 after signing a new deal with the side before Christmas, has impressed this season playing for the Viola, being one of the club’s stars alongside Federico Chiesa.

Castrovilli has attracted the interest of both Inter and Juventus, with both clubs appreciating the Italian’s qualities and considering making a summer move for him.

Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso has no plans to lose Castrovilli in the summer, the report continues, and would be prepared to extend his current contract by an extra year, to 2025, as well as increasing his salary a little. The Florence based club want to send a clear signal to any interested clubs that he is not for sale.

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has confirmed that both Inter linked Edinson Cavani and Brazilian defender Thiago Silva will leave the club at the end of the season, after their contracts expire with the French side, in an interview with French media outlet Le Journal du Dimanche earlier today.

“Yes, we’re coming to the end with them. The idea is to have them until the end of August. It was a very difficult decision to make.

“These are the players who have marked the club’s history. We always wonder if we should continue a bit together or stop. Stories are good stories. But yes, we are coming to the end.”

He commented on how PSG still want the duo at their disposal for the remaining games in the Champions League, and how the decision to let them leave on a free transfer was necessary for different reasons.

“It was necessary to make a logical decision, even on an economic level or in relation to the generation that is coming. Maybe we’re wrong, I don’t know, there’s never a perfect moment.

“Now the Champions League is still in sight and the idea is to continue competing with them until the end of August. But how it can be done is still not clear.”

Finally, Leonardo confirmed that multiple other players will be leaving the club in the summer after their contracts expire, including the Inter linked full backs Layvin Kurzawa and Thomas Meunier.

“The idea is also to end here with them, but we have to discuss the next two months. We will try to keep the whole squad for the Champions League.”

Inter have been linked with multiple PSG players in the summer, with Cavani being one of the most exciting. However, the Nerazzurri are unlikely to pull the trigger on the Uruguayan veteran, considering his high wages and desire to play with Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid. The Milanese club are still considering signing either Kurzawa or Meunier in the summer in order to strengthen their wing back department.

Italian journalist Matteo Barzaghi discussed Inter’s 1-1 draw against Napoli and elimination from the Coppa Italia in an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sports Italia, after the end of the game.

“The best news of the evening for Inter is the performance, in addition to the goal, of Christian Eriksen. The very reassuring fact was that he ran, like when after the goal he matched Insigne in the middle of the pitch. I don’t know if he would have done that in late January or early February. He’s getting into Conte’s mentality.”

Barzaghi also highlighted how Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen now gives the Nerazzurri danger when in dead ball situations, clearly displayed with his goal against Napoli in last night’s draw.

“I think that’s the best news, even on a tactical level. The goal he scored is a sore point for the Nerazzurri because they haven’t scored a free kick in Serie A since the 2017-2018 season. Eriksen can be useful both for tying up the team and for free kicks.”

Inter coach Antonio Conte will be disappointed after being eliminated from the Coppa Italia last night, as the Lecce born coach was hoping to win the competition in order to achieve some silverware in his first season in charge.

Conte will now fully focus on the remaining games of the Serie A season, hoping to still stay relevant in the title race, although the Milanese club are currently nine points behind rivals and league leaders Juventus, although they do have a game in hand that could see that distance drop to six points, should Conte’s squad beat Sampdoria next weekend.

Italian journalist Luca Marchetti commented on Inter’s 1-1 draw against Napoli and elimination from the Coppa Italia in an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sports Italia after the game.

“If we want to find a positive note in the undeserved elimination of Inter it’s that the high number of matches has gone down. They will play in a week’s time against Sampdoria and then they will have the same amount of games as the others.”

Marchetti then touched on how the Nerazzurri have a slight physical advtange compared to other teams when restarting the league, due to facing Napoli tonight. Unlike either Juventus or Napoli, the Nerazzurri have a full week to recover, rather than playing in the mid-week slot.

“Objectively speaking, Inter have already tested their athletic condition against an important team like Napoli and they had a good match. It certainly served them well in terms of awareness of their means. Now the Nerazzurri know what to do when they return to the pitch, if I were Sampdoria, I’d be worried.”

Inter coach Antonio Conte was hoping to win the Coppa Italia, after disappointing in the Champions League and falling behind in the title race. The Nerazzurri are nine points behind league leaders Juventus, although they do have a game in hand thanks to the postponed game against Sampdoria that will be recovered next weekend. The Lecce born coach has never won the Coppa Italia as a manager and will have to wait until next season to try again.

Inter coach Antonio Conte discussed the Nerazzurri’s 1-1 draw against Napoli and their elimination from the Coppa Italia in a press conference earlier tonight, after the game. His words were noted by Italian media outlet FcInterNews.

First, he discussed how the team started the game with an advantage, with Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen scoring after only two minutes.

“We could have been more deadly, we created a lot but scored just one goal. Then Ospina was the best player on the pitch for Napoli, with incredible saves. And he was also the provider for the assist for the goal. He had a fantastic performance.”

The former Juventus and Chelsea coach touched on how it felt to have five substitutions at his disposal.

“Well, it’s certainly a situation adopted to try to give the players more breathing space as we’re expecting something crazy at a footballing level, because thinking about playing so much between June and July is not normal.

“It will be new, the five substitutions can give players breathing space and allow us to take fewer risks in terms of injuries. But the important thing for us is that beyond substitutions, whoever comes in knows what to do.”

Conte wasn’t able to predict which team between Napoli and Juventus would win the cup next week.

“Honestly, at the moment it’s hard for me to think about it, there’s the bitterness and regret because we deserved this final. I hope it will be a beautiful final, congratulations to both.”

He spoke about the work he has been doing with Eriksen, who appeared different tonight compared to how he played when he arrived in January.

“We’ve been working on it, as well as the system that allows him to integrate at his best. We worked tactically and physically. He’s done well, I’m happy for him, and I’m sure he’ll continue to do so.”

Conte spoke about the Nerazzurri’s season so far and whether he considers it a successful first season in charge.

“It’s not for me to assess it. I think there has been an important growth from all points of view, most of all Lautaro and Bastoni.

“My job is to raise the level, improve the players and make them competitive to win. You don’t begin winning titles overnight especially when you haven’t won for nine years. I’m happy with these guys, the road is the right one and we will make Inter fans proud.”

Finally, Conte spoke about how it is different playing games behind closed doors, with no fans present.

“We have to be focused and do the best we can regardless. We’re sorry to play without a crowd, but there’s this situation and we have to adapt by playing the same way.”

Italian journalist Fabrizio Biasin commented on Inter’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Napoli in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals in a post on his Twitter page yesterday.

The journalist disagreed with the opinion of Nerazzurri coach Antonio Conte, who suggested that the Milanese club deserved to play in the final more than Napoli due to their performances in both games. Conte was clearly disappointed by the elimination from the competition.

Biasin discussed the Inter coach’s comments, saying: “With three months of stop in the middle it is difficult to think about the ‘two games’, but across the two games, Napoli deserved the final. And Gattuso even more.”

Con tre mesi di stop in mezzo è difficile ragionare sulle “due partite”, ma sulle due partite, il Napoli, si è meritato la finale. E #Gattuso anche di più. #NapoliInter

Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne discussed the Partenopei’s 1-1 draw against Inter and their qualification to the Coppa Italia final in an interview with Italian broadcaster Rai Sport after the game. The Naples based club reached the final after winning the first leg 1-0 in Milan.

“They were fine on the pitch, we did our part. We suffered as a team and wanted the final, we need to recover our energy to get ready for it.”

The Napoli captain talked about the goal scored by the Partenopei and also thanked the work of medical professionals for their work in the fight against Coronavirus.

“Ospina always uses his feet, we tried that action several times in training. They were badly positioned, he was good to see it. The goal helped bring home the final. It’s strange to play like that but we have to do our duty. Let’s thank the doctors and nurses, let’s dedicate the victory to those who suffered, we hope we’ve brought joy to the Italians’ homes.”

He spoke about the squad’s relationship with coach Gennaro Gattuso, who took over from Carlo Ancelotti before Christmas.

“We are close to him, he deserves it. He is a great man, let’s dedicate this victory to him.”

Finally, insigne talked about how Napoli will face their bitter rivals Juventus in the Coppa Italia finals next week on Wednesday.

“It has a special flavour, we have to have a great performance and give something more than tonight.”

Inter were hoping to win this season’s Coppa Italia after disappointing in both the Champions League and Serie A. Antonio Conte’s squad exited the European competition in the group stages and have fallen behind in the title race, being nine points behind Juventus currently.

Inter coach Antonio Conte discussed the Nerazzurri’s 1-1 draw against Napoli and their elimination from the Coppa Italia in an interview with Italian broadcaster InterTV, immediately after the game.

“I’m satisfied with the type of match we played, this is the kind of football we want to play. Aggressive in the non-possession phase, dominating the game in the possession phase. We did it today, I carry with me the bitterness of not being in the final, in the two games we deserved it.”

He moved onto discussing how the team will move forward and grow from the game, with the lessons set to be applied for the restart of the league next weekend.

“I’m sorry, but we have to take the positive things and understand that we have to continue to grow, being clinical and wanting to score goals. Today we created a lot of opportunities, their goalkeeper made sensational saves. We have to grow and take this step, if we have the ambition to fight to win, it’s necessary.”

The former Juventus and Chelsea coach commented on the performance of his midfield today, with a particular focus being paid to Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen.

“We had the opportunity to work and try to create a tailor-made suit for all the players. Eriksen was able to work with us tactically and physically. Sensi can also play in that position, with two midfielders in support. I liked the offensive phase of the midfielders as well. We played a complete football, sorry for the result and for not qualifying for the final, which the guys would have deserved. Let’s take that anger and turn it into something positive.”

Conte spoke about how the squad has a variety of players that can look to shoot on goal, giving them an advantage in the final third.

“We’re much more unpredictable, we attack with a lot of players, but we have to be good at not losing our balance. If I have to make a note of something today, the goal we conceded is the result of softness that we can’t afford. At the same time, we will work on it. We need to know that the path we’ve taken is the right one and that we want to play this kind of football that transmits passion.”

Finally, Conte discussed how he was happy with the performances of the five players that were brought on as substitutes in the game. The teams have been allowed to make two more substitutions than usual due to the unique circumstances of the end of this season.

“Absolutely, I was calm because the guys worked well. Now it’s possible to deploy players who were absent due to injury for various reasons, such as Sanchez, Sensi, Barella, Gagliardini, Handanovic, D’Ambrosio. Now they’re all available and I’m pleased because I’ll be able to rotate. But that doesn’t change anything because everyone knows what they have to do on the pitch.”
