Major Italian football clubs have finalized their squad lists for upcoming UEFA competitions. Napoli has submitted its roster for the Champions League League Phase, notably excluding Alessandro Buongiorno and Luca Marianucci due to injuries, while also omitting Brazilian attacker Giovane. Juventus has also submitted its Europa League list, featuring 22 players in List A and 6 in List B, with Kenan Yildiz placed in the youth category.
In Rome, AS Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini discussed the club’s summer transfer challenges, citing UEFA financial fair play constraints as a reason for failing to secure targets like Mason Greenwood and Crysencio Summerville. He also addressed rumors regarding a €60m Chelsea offer for Manu Koné, stating no official proposal was received. Gasperini praised the commitment of players like Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen.
Additionally, former Verona coach Paolo Zanetti commented on the development of Napoli's Giovane, noting the player's versatility despite his exclusion from the Champions League squad.
