Fiorentina's sporting director Daniele Prada said that Moroccan midfielder Sofiane Amrabat, who played for Manchester United on loan, wants to stay in the Premier League.

- I would like to keep Sofiane in the team. But he doesn't seem to be thinking about it. I think he wants to stay in the Premier League, but no one has approached us yet," said Daniele Prada.

It should be added that last season Sofiane Amrabat played 30 matches for Manchester United. The club bosses are currently deciding on the Moroccan's future.

Atalanta and Italian national team defender Giorgio Scalvini has successfully undergone knee surgery, according to the official website of La Dea.

The central defender suffered a knee injury during the last match of the Serie A season, where Atalanta was defeated by Fiorentina (2-3).

The injury has ruled Scalvini out of the Italian national team for Euro 2024 and he is expected to be out of action for more than six months. Giorgio immediately began rehabilitation and treatment for a full recovery, but it is unlikely that the defender will return to the field before 2025.

"Bologna has finalized the appointment of a coach to replace Thiago Motta next season.

According to the club's official resources, Vincenzo Italiano signed a two-year contract with the Rossoblu. The 46-year-old specialist's previous place of work was Fiorentina, which he left at the end of the season.

It should be noted that last season, Bologna reached the Champions League for the first time in 60 years.

Napoli has announced the appointment of Antonio Conte as the team's new head coach.

It is reported that the parties signed a cooperation agreement that runs until June 30, 2027.

"I am very proud that Conte has become the new coach of Napoli. He is a top coach, a leader, and I am confident that together with him the club will be able to start the necessary reboot after we won the Scudetto last year. Today opens an important new chapter in the history of Napoli," said De Laurentiis, the club's president.

"Naples is a place of global importance. I am happy and excited about the idea of leading the Azzurri. I can promise you one thing: I will do everything possible for the growth of the team and the club. My commitment, along with that of my staff, will be complete," Conte said.

Former Roma coach Jose Mourinho, who recently accepted an offer from Fenerbahce, has revealed the first details of the club's summer transfer campaign.

"The transfer market? We haven't talked about it yet, but I can tell you that I'm not interested in any Roma player. There will be no Lukaku or Dybala here," Mourinho was quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

Girona midfielder Viktor Tsygankov is being sought after by leading English and Italian league clubs.

The Spanish newspaper AS reports that Arsenal and AC Milan are interested in acquiring Tsygankov from Girona. Both clubs are ready to pay a clause of 30 million euros for the player, which is stipulated in his agreement with the Catalans.

Tottenham is also known to be interested in Tsygankov, but the Londoners have little chance of transferring the former Dynamo player, as they will play in the Europa League next season, while Girona, Arsenal and Milan have qualified for the Champions League.

Last season, Tsygankov played in 30 matches for Girona. The Ukrainian midfielder scored 8 goals and 7 assists.

Fiorentina head coach Vincenzo Italiano is leaving the club after three years at the helm.

"These have been three great years that will allow me to leave a completely different person than I was when I arrived. I am leaving with a great experience for which I am grateful to the club, the players I have coached and all the Fiorentina fans.

The journey for me, even if we didn't manage to win a trophy, was great. I decided to leave because when you reach a certain level and you can't go any further, and the environment demands more from you, I think it's time to leave. We have to turn the page and make room for new ideas and new thinking - that's what I told the president," Football Italia quoted the 46-year-old coach as saying.

It should be noted that Fiorentina lost two Conference League finals under Italiano's leadership.

Atalanta centre-back Giorgio Scalvini is out for a long time.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the 20-year-old tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the last match of the club's season against Fiorentina (2-3). Thus, the Italian national team loses another central defender on the eve of the European Championship.

This season, Scalvini has played 44 matches for Atalanta in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing three assists.

The head coach of Europa League winner Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini, has reacted to his European Super Cup rival Real Madrid.

"I was already thinking about Real Madrid yesterday. Maybe they will also play with Mbappe in the Super Cup, then it will be a different team...

I don't want anyone to be overweight in training camp, but I don't think they will have time to gain because of the Euros," Gianluca Di Marzio's website quoted Gasperini as saying.

The match of the 29th round of the Italian championship took place. The match was held on 2 June. Here are its results.
