A return to the homeland beckons

Antonio Conte is AC Milan's number one target

Vincenzo Montella's struggles with the Rossoneri are well documented with the manager counting his final days as the AC Milan manager. The club owners have earmarked Antonio Conte to take over from Montella next summer with Conte's problems also coming to the fore at Chelsea. Calciomercato reports that if Montella is sacked before the end of the season, former Watford manager, Walter Mazzari will be brought in on an interim basis.

Juventus desperate to sign Marco Verratti

The Bianconeri have been admirers of the PSG midfielder since the past couple of seasons but have now increased their efforts to bring the Italian back to his homeland next summer. PSG want at least €100 million for Verratti which may prove to be too costly for Juventus. Calciomercato understands that if PSG do not lower their valuation, Juventus will then shift their attention towards Real Madrid's Dani Ceballos.
