'For me, everything he says is wrong,' the former keeper laid into Cassano.
'He's completely delirious.'
'Why does he have this problem with Barella and Bastoni?' Viviano continued. 'I'd tell him that he contradicts himself.'
'He says something like that. Then he says that Barella and Frattesi switching doesn't make a difference.'
'He likes players who really play football, but that's not Frattesi,' Viviano argued.
'Frattesi makes great attacking runs. He has great tempo, intensity in attack.'
'But are you going to tell me that he does all the things Barella does?' Viviano went on. 'Come on.'
'Frattesi gets between the lines in midfield? Finds passing lanes in midfield?'

Lazio Making Important Progress in €400M Stadio Flaminio Project
Lazio have reportedly made significant steps on the Stadio Flaminio front, as they continue to untie the remaining bureaucratic knots. The Background The Biancocelesti have been sharing the Stadio Olimpico with their arch-rivals Roma for decades, but they now plan to move away from the iconic facility, owned by the state, and possess their own stadium. The club has identified the currently defunct Stadio Flaminio as the ideal ground for their ambitious project. Stadio Flaminio | Photo Courtesy of Simon Basten From | December 2024 In December, Lazio president Claudio Lotito presented his stadium renovation plan to the municipality of Rome. But while the project had received high praise from the Mayor, the club still has some issues to resolve. Lazio Working on Resolving Remaining Stadio Flaminio Issues According to Il Corriere della Sera (via Calcio e Finanza), the municipality had asked Lazio to provide them with four additional documents in order to make the project eligible for a feasibility study. These documents include studies related to the environment, parking spaces and the traffic in the area surrounding the ground. Lazio Facing Public Outcry The source also warns the club of public discontent, as the residents of the area had already protested against the previous project presented by Roma Nuoto for the renovation of Stadio Flaminio, and they could also take legal action against the Serie A club if they were to consider the project a threat to the region's serenity. How Much Will Stadio Flaminio Cost Lazio The newspaper adds that Lazio had first estimated the project to cost €400 million, but the overall sum could be reduced to circa €360 million. The Aquile remain in close association with their partners, Legends, who will be entrusted with the renovation and the management of the stadium. The club's directors have recently met the company's hierarchy during their New York City tour.

Report – Inter Milan Line Up RB Leipzig Star As Backup Target For Atalanta Forward
Inter Milan have lined up RB Leipzig forward Lois Openda as a backup target if they're unable to sign Ademola Lookman. This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. This week, bombshell reports emerged regarding Inter Milan's interest in Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. The Nerazzurri have already agreed terms with the Nigerian. Moreover, Lookman has made his preference crystal clear. He wants to join Inter Milan, and will reject other suitors. At least for the time being. Therefore, Inter are advancing in talks with Atalanta. Yesterday, they made their first official offer to La Dea for the Nigerian. Inter Line Up Lois Openda As Backup Target To Lookman However, Inter are well aware that there's no guarantee that they'll be able to sign Lookman. Atalanta have rejected Inter's opening bid of €40 million for the former RB Leipzig forward. Therefore, the Nerazzurri are also considering some other attacking targets. And if Inter cannot sign a player who once played for Leipzig in the form of Lookman, they could instead aim to sign a current one – Lois Openda. The Belgian has been on the Nerazzurri's radar for some time. And they are still monitoring him. A move for Openda would be contingent on being unable to sign Lookman, however. Then, SportMediaset report, he would become their top target.
