Lazio manager Simone Inzaghi claims that striker Ciro Immobile is starting to display his all-round talent in the game.

One of the best players in the history of Italian football is hands down Gianluigi Buffon, who has managed to stay in the world-class bracket despite being 39 years old, and is still one of the main reasons to tune in to Socagol week-in, week-out to watch Juventus in action.

This is a player that has consistently been able to help Juventus win their domestic league for the 6 past Serie A seasons as well as being named as the best goalkeeper of the 21st century according to the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS). He has broken the appearances record for both club and country, has been a steadying influence in the dressing room, and is one of the few players left from the World Cup winning 2006 side.

If you watch him in action on direttastreamingcalciogratis.it you can see that his goalkeeping prowess is starting to wane a little - at 39 it's no surprise that he's not as athletic and agile as he once was, and he must have thrown himself to the floor to stop a flying ball almost a million times by now! All of which leaves Italy with the uneviable task of trying to replace him!?

AS Monaco have secured the signing of Keita Balde Diao from Italian club Lazio for an initial fee of around €30m.

Italian striker Manolo Gabbiadini joined Premier League club Southampton in January and immediately made an impact on the South Coast. The forward has had a productive pre-season and is aiming to help fire the Saints into the top six.

The former Napoli man appears to be enjoying life at St Mary's and has been out on the streets helping sell the Big Issue magazine alongside teammates Nathan Redmond and Oriol Romeu. The fans seem to have immediately taken to the big striker and he is hoping to put smiles on the faces of Saints supporters this season.

Inter Milan winger Antonio Candreva has admitted that he is happy with Serie A stay despite the ongoing interest from Premier League club Chelsea.

Italy international Leonardo Bonucci made a surprise decision to join AC Milan earlier this week after the Old Lady agreed on a £35m sum for his sale - subject to a medical.

AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma took to social media to suggest that he has no split with agent Mino Raiola over the recent controversy.

The 18-year-old snubbed a fresh contract with the Rossoneri earlier this month, and he has since received widespread criticism from the fans, who believe the decision was influenced by the player’s representative.

Serie A giant Napoli are expected to return with a better offer for Liverpool’s Alberto Moreno after the Reds rejected their bid last month. Liverpool want the full £15 million they value him but the Partenopei are hoping for some sort of bargain.

After confirming the arrival of Bordeaux winger Adam Ounas, the club want to boost their defensive cover with the embattled defender. Liverpool paid £12 million for Moreno in 2014 so Napoli are hoping to get him for £11 million. The Reds have refused the bid.

Despite winning their sixth consecutive Serie A title in 2017, Juventus’ campaign ended in disappointment in Cardiff, as the club failed to win the Champions League - the trophy that has eluded them since 1996 – losing the final to a formidable Real Madrid side 4-1.

Over the course of the season, there were many positives for Massimiliano Allegri’s side on both a domestic and European level. As the Juve won the domestic double and also reached the final in Europe’s biggest competition, despite that particular journey ending in disappointment earlier this month.
