Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt will undergo shoulder surgery in Rome today and will miss at least the next three months.

The Dutch defender has struggled since he picked up an issue against Atalanta last year, when he dislocated his shoulder.

The 21-year old decided to play on and postpone the surgery until after the season and now that Juventus are out of the Champions League, he can finally operate.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel feels his players have ‘prepared in the best fashion’ for the big game against Atalanta on Wednesday and reveals he could have Kylian Mbappe in the squad.

Alessandro Bastoni says he's ‘proud to represent’ Inter in the Europa League, vowed to ‘push to get as far as possible’ and added that he will support his former club Atalanta in the Champions League tomorrow.

Bastoni moved to Inter in August 2017 but was immediately loaned back to Atalanta and spent last season at Parma before breaking through at Inter this season.

He has claimed the move to Parma helped his experience and expressed his delight for Atalanta’s run to the quarter-finals in the Champions League.

Granada have officially triggered the option to buy Roma midfielder Maxime Gonalons and signed a deal until June 2023 with the Frenchman.

Gonalons, capped seven times by France, moves on a €4m transfer to the La Liga club, after having spent last season at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes on loan.

Granada finished seventh in La Liga 2019-20 and will play in the Europa League qualifiers next season.

Gonalons played 19 matches in the League and scored once for the club in the Copa del Rey, helping the club to the semi-finals of the competition.

The newspaper claims the two clubs have yet to reach an agreement, as Di Francesco pushes the Casteddu to make a move.

Roma loanee Patrik Schick will return from RB Leipzig and the Giallorossi are reportedly looking to sell the Czech striker for €25m this summer.

Calciomercato.com writes that the 24-year-old, who arrived from the Blucerchiati on loan in July 2017 before the GIallorossi signed him for €42m a year later, has to look for a new club.
