Nico Paz is shining for Como this season and it’s expected that the Argentine will return to Real Madrid in the summer.

Como are flying under Cesc Fabregas as the Azzurri have been steadily among the contenders for a European spot in 2025-26.

Their results have been beyond impressive despite a recent 4-0 loss away at Inter, but one thing to consider for online betting is that Como are particularly dangerous at home, where they have collected 15 points in seven games, remaining unbeaten with four wins and three draws.

Fabregas’ men beat Juventus and held Napoli to a 0-0 draw when the Serie A giants travelled to the lake earlier this season, and have had in Argentine star Nico Paz their best player so far.

A product of the Real Madrid academy, Nico Paz joined Como on a permanent deal in the summer of 2024, but the Merengues have an option to re-sign him until 2027.

Reputable Italian sources, including Football Italia’s Alfredo Pedullà, report that Paz is destined to return to the Spanish capital in 2026-27.

Nico Paz has grabbed five goals and five assists in his opening 14 Serie A matches this term, contributing to at least one goal in seven matches.

With such stats, it’s not surprising that the 21-year-old has been among the top three performers in the league in the first half of the season, according to average player ratings from Italian sports papers (via Fantacalcio).

Como and Serie A fans will continue to watch Paz in action until the end of the 2025-26 season as the Argentine’s return to Madrid in the January window is not on the cards.

“There’s nothing to say, he’s a Como player and will stay with us,” Fabregas said at a press conference at the end of November.

“Then it depends on what the other club decides. I won’t rule out that Nico stays here next season too. He’s ambitious, and he can have a big career in football, but why can’t he do it here at Como? He’s made us grow, and vice versa. You can see it. You can see if a person is happy from their eyes, and I think that he’s happy here right now.”

Nico Paz was named the Serie A Rising Star of the Month for both August and September 2025. In other words, the best U23 player in the league in the first two months of the current campaign.

Whether or not his performances will lead Como to a European placement this season remains to be seen, but surely Nico Paz is destined to return to Real Madrid sooner rather than later.

There are three goalkeepers among the top 10 Italian performers in Serie A so far, while Federico Dimarco has been the best Azzurri player in the league so far.

Dimarco is the best Italian performer in Serie A so far, according to average player ratings from Italian sports papers (via Fantacalcio).

Three goalkeepers among to 10 Italy players in Serie A

The Inter defender is a regular in Gennaro Gattuso’s Italy team that will be facing Northern Ireland in the World Cup playoff semifinal in March 2026.

Quite worryingly for Italy, the top-10 Italian performers from week 1 to 16 include three goalkeepers, Lecce’s Wladimiro Falcone (2nd) Cagliari’s Elia Caprile (3rd) and Lazio’s Ivan Provedel (10th).

The lack of eligible Serie A players in the Italy national team is a matter of concern that both Gattuso and FIGC President Gabriele Gravina have highlighted multiple times, but, as the ranking you see below suggests, the options are further reduced when it comes to outfield players.

Surely, one emerging talent in the opening games of the season is Cagliari’s Marco Palestra, who is on loan from Atalanta and features in the top five performers so far.

Top 10 Italian players in Serie A Week 1-16

Dimarco 6,5

Falcone 6,47

Caprile 6,44

Palestra 6,37

Berardi 6,36

Bonazzoli 6,35

Orsolini 6,33

Spinazzola 6,3

Barella 6,3

Provedel 6,28

USMNT international Christian Pulisic is the Serie A player with the highest average player rating, just above his teammate Luka Modric.

Milan star Pulisic is the best player in Serie A so far, according to average player ratings from Italian sports papers (via Fantacalcio).

Nine goal contributions for Pulisic and Nico Paz

Pulisic is the best-placed among the players with at least 50% appearances in Serie A this season, and it’s really not surprising given that the ex-Chelsea star has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 10 league matches.

Como star Nico Paz, the third player in the standings, has also grabbed nine goal contributions so far, five goals and four assists, but he’s done so in 15 appearances.

Two goalkeepers, Mile Svilar of Roma and Wladimiro Falcone of Lecce, make the top 10. Falcone has an average player rating of 6,47, just a tiny bit higher than Milan’s Mike Maignan with 6,46.

Kenan Yildiz is the only Juventus player in the top 10; Napoli have Frank André Zambo Anguissa, while Marcus Thuram and Federico Dimarco are the Inter representatives.

Roma host Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa on December 29, which could be the last game before big January changes for the Giallorossi.

Roma-Genoa will be the last game of Serie A Week 17, and it will be more meaningful than what the table might suggest.

The Giallorossi have lost three of the last five league games but still sit 4th in the standings, 16 points above the Grifone.

De Rossi returns to the Olimpico

Roma legend De Rossi, now in charge of Genoa, might have lost the last two league matches, but has grabbed eight points from six league outings since taking over from Patrick Vieira in November 2025.

It goes without saying that the return of ‘Capitan Futuro’ to the capital is one of the big events of the Serie A weekend.

De Rossi was also the Roma coach for 30 matches between January and September 2024. His sacking last year sent the team and the club into pure chaos, and only the appointment of Claudio Ranieri two months later, replacing Ivan Juric, saved the Giallorossi’s season.

This will be De Rossi’s first game against Roma since leaving the club over a year ago, and surely it will be an emotional return home for the 2006 Italy World Cup winner.

Gasperini hopes for big January changes

The match, however, is also meaningful because Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini hopes many changes will take place at the club starting in January.

The Italian tactician criticised Evan Ferguson after a defeat against Juventus last week, suggesting that he’d be glad to welcome two new strikers in the January transfer window, ideally Giacomo Raspadori and Joshua Zirkzee.

It remains to be seen if Roma will manage to secure deals for both strikers and how soon Gasperini will receive his January gifts. Surely, the coach hopes sooner rather than later.

Furthermore, according to recent reports, Roma are also interested in Radu Dragusin for the defence and Genoa’s Morten Frendrup in central midfield.

The Danish international is expected to start in Rome on Monday night, one more reason not to miss the Giallorossi’s final game of the year.

Inter will be facing Atalanta on December 28, and Richard Hall examines where the Benamata have improved and where they still have to work ahead of the next big match.

In the shadow of the Madonnina, change rarely whispers; it usually roars. For three seasons, Simone Inzaghi was the conductor of a sleek, rhythmic orchestra at San Siro, one that prioritised the beauty of the transition and the almost telepathic understanding of a veteran core.

But as we sit in the cold light of December 2025, the Nerazzurri are dancing to a different, perhaps more frantic, beat under Cristian Chivu.

The transition from Inzaghi to the Romanian has been less of a revolution and more of a recalibration, but the gears are grinding in ways we didn’t quite expect.

Inzaghi’s Inter was a masterclass in controlled chaos. His 3-5-2 was a safety blanket for the fans—a system where the wing-backs, Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries, weren’t just outlets but primary architects. It was “Inzaghiball”: deep-lying playmaking, inviting pressure, and then slicing through teams like a hot knife through butter.

Chivu, stepping up from the Primavera (after a stint at Parma) with the weight of his own treble-winning history on his shoulders, has kept the 3-5-2 skeleton but has replaced the organs. Where Inzaghi was pragmatic, Chivu is daring—arguably to a fault.

The most jarring difference is the defensive line. Inzaghi was content to let the veteran trio drop deep, trusting their positioning to snuff out danger. Chivu has pushed the line ten yards further up the pitch. He wants a “vertical” Inter, one that suffocates the opposition in their own third.

The High Press

Under Chivu, Inter are pressing with a ferocity we haven’t seen since the early Conte days. The addition of Petar Sučić in the engine room has facilitated this; the youngster offers a “bite” that the ageing legs of Mkhitaryan sometimes lacked.

The Risk Factor

This high line has turned Yann Sommer (and occasionally Josep Martínez) into a de facto sweeper. When it works, it’s a blue-and-black swarm. When it fails—as we saw in the bruising defeats to Udinese and Juventus earlier this term—it leaves the centre-backs exposed in 1-on-1 foot races they simply cannot win.

The biggest “plus” of the Chivu era is the integration of youth. While Inzaghi was often criticised for his “Old Guard” loyalty, Chivu has been “coraggioso”, brave.

Pio Esposito & Bonny

The emergence of Francesco Pio Esposito and the arrival of Ange-Yoan Bonny have added a physical, unpredictable dimension to the attack. They don’t just link play; they disrupt.

Interestingly, Lautaro Martínez seems to have found a second wind. While he was the focal point under Inzaghi, he now operates with more freedom. With Sučić and Barella pushing higher to win the ball, Lautaro is receiving it closer to the goal rather than dropping into the centre circle to help build play.

However, the Nerazzurri in me worry about the soul of this team’s defence. The stats don’t lie: Inter are conceding more goals per game than at any point during Inzaghi’s tenure.

The Rest Defence

The structure of the team while they are in possession is currently Chivu’s Achilles’ heel. By committing so many bodies forward, particularly the wing-backs and Alessandro Bastoni (who Chivu allows to roam even further than Inzaghi did), Inter are incredibly susceptible to the counter-attack. The defeat against Milan in the Derby was a prime example; a single misplaced pass in the final third led to a vertical sprint that left the Inter defence looking like statues.

Is Chivu the right man? He is certainly the “Inter” man. He understands the club’s DNA, and his willingness to bench established stars for the sake of tactical discipline is a breath of fresh air. He has made Inter more exciting, but significantly less stable.

Inzaghi gave us trophies and a sense of “inevitability.” Chivu is giving us a rollercoaster. As we head into the winter break, the Nerazzurri sit within touching distance of the top, but the defensive fragility suggests that if they don’t find a balance between Chivu’s high-pressing ideals and Inzaghi’s structural discipline, the Scudetto might remain a dream.

The romantic in me loves the bravery; the critic in me fears the space behind the back three. San Siro awaits the second half of this experiment with bated breath.

Serie A Round 17 begins tomorrow, Saturday, December 27, with Parma-Fiorentina, but it will be a weekend where relegation candidates will cross paths with title contenders.

Serie A will know no break during the Christmas festive period as the Round 17 will be played between Saturday, December 27 and Monday 29.

Sunday’s big match in Serie A

Table leaders Inter have a big game coming up as they’ll visit Raffaele Palladino’s Atalanta in Bergamo on Sunday evening.

Technically, it’s the only big game of the weekend, which, however, doesn’t mean the Nerazzurri opponents will necessarily have an easy pathway.

On Saturday evening, Juventus will visit relegation candidates Pisa, currently sitting in 19th and with coach Alberto Gilardino on the brink.

On the following day, Milan will face Verona at San Siro (12:30 CET), while Napoli will visit Jamie Vardy’s Cremonese.

Vardy vs. McTominay

The Grigiorossi have had a fantastic start to the season, grabbing 21 points in 11 games and putting nine points between them and the relegation zone. This means they can play with freedom and on a counter-attack against the Partenopei, who will return to the pitch after winning the Supercoppa in Saudi Arabia earlier this week.

The first weekend game, Parma-Fiorentina, is a big one in the race for survival, with the Viola still sitting 20th and the Ducali being just two points above the drop zone.

Lecce will be looking to earn points at home against Como, while Cagliari will visit Torino. Udinese and Lazio still hope to get a European placement, while Bologna and Sassuolo will meet in a local derby at the Stadio Dall’Ara.

Lastly, Daniele De Rossi will return to the Olimpico for the last game of the weekend against his beloved Roma.

There are no Serie A matches on December 26, but there will be no break in Italy with league games on December 27, 28 and 29, January 2, 3 and 4.

There’s no rest for Serie A clubs as Italian football action will continue over the Christmas and New Year period.

Serie A Matchday 17 will begin right after Christmas, on December 27, with Parma hosting Fiorentina in a relegation showdown. On the same day, Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus will visit Pisa, while Napoli, Inter and Milan will take to the pitch on December 28. Roma’s first game after Christmas is against Genoa on Monday, December 29.

On the following weekend, Milan will visit Cagliari in the first game of 2026 in Serie A on Friday, January 2.

Juventus-Lecce and Atalanta-Roma will be played on January 3, while Lazio-Napoli and Inter-Bologna are scheduled for January 4.

There’s also a mid-week round starting on Tuesday, January 6 (public holiday in Italy) with Pisa-Como. That same day, Lecce will host Roma, and Juventus will visit Sassuolo.

Below are all the games scheduled during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Everyone at Football Italia wishes our readers around the globe a very Merry Christmas. While we’re taking a short break, Calcio won’t be disappearing completely over the festive period.

There will be no regular news updates on December 25 and 26, but the site will still feature opinion pieces on the current landscape of Italian football, as well as transfer insights, with the January transfer window fast approaching and set to be as hectic as ever.

Serie A will return on December 27, 28 and 29, but the entire festive period will be very busy with three league rounds played across 13 days! Naturally, Football Italia will provide live updates for all those matches.

In the meantime, make the most of this time with your loved ones before the next wave of Serie A action.

Merry Christmas!

According to Corriere dello Sport, Atalanta are considering selling Marco Palestra in the January transfer window, with Inter among the clubs interested in the promising right-back.

Palestra has had an excellent start to the season on loan at Cagliari, but Atalanta could still decide to sell him next month.

Atalanta set Palestra asking price

La Dea need to climb the table and already value Palestra at €35m-40m, according to Corriere dello Sport. The defender’s sale would allow the Bergamo-based club to bring in reinforcements for new coach Raffaele Palladino.

Inter are among the clubs interested in the 20-year-old, but according to the report, Atalanta have been approached by other Italian and foreign clubs as well.

More deals between Atalanta and Cagliari

Palestra, however, is on loan at Cagliari until the end of the season, so any early move would need approval from the Sardinians.

This is where Marco Brescianini and Daniel Maldini come to play. Cagliari are interested in the Atalanta pair, and their loan to Sardinia in January would partially compensate for Palestra’s possible departure.

Gennaro Gattuso confirmed during his latest interview that Marcello Lippi is his role model as Italy’s head coach: ‘I copy and paste what he did.’

Lippi was Italy’s head coach in 2006 when the Azzurri won the World Cup. Gattuso was part of that legendary team, and Lippi remains a role model for the former midfielder.

Gattuso on what he learned from Lippi

“Since I’ve been the Italy coach, I’ve done a copy and paste of what he had done,” Gattuso told Vivo Azzurro via TMW.

“Being true and coherent, there’s just one way if you want to create a group. Give that extra trust to a player when he’s struggling a bit and try to help. Giving a sense of belonging. He was a master at this.”

Full Gattuso interview

Gattuso also spoke about what the Azzurri will need in March next year to avoid another World Cup disappointment, as La Nazionale will be facing Northern Ireland in the play-off semifinal.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Kenan Yildiz wants to become the highest-paid player at Juventus and receive guarantees about the club’s big ambitions in the coming years.

Juventus are expected to resume talks to extend Yildiz’s contract in the coming weeks, particularly now that the Bianconeri are set to hire a new sporting director, Marco Ottolini.

Juventus set to resume Yildiz contract talks

Yildiz’s contract runs out in June 2029, but the Turkish star has become a key player in Turin, so both parties feel that a new deal is necessary.

Gazzetta reports that Juventus and Yildiz last touched base at the end of October, right before Igor Tudor’s dismissal.

Yildiz’s salary request for Juventus

Yildiz currently earns €1.7m per season, but his target is to become the highest-paid player in the team with a salary of at least €6m, the same as Jonathan David.

The Juventus offer is between €4m and €5m per season, plus bonuses tied to personal and team-related targets.

There’s a gap of circa €1m between the club’s offer and the player’s demands, but Yildiz also wants guarantees regarding the club’s long-term project and ambitions.

The 20-year-old has scored six goals and provided six assists in 22 appearances across all competitions this season.

Juventus owner John Elkann gave a speech during the team’s Christmas dinner on Tuesday: ‘You are becoming an increasingly strong group.’

The Bianconeri have won six games from the last seven and beat direct rivals Bologna and Roma in the last two Serie A rounds.

On Tuesday night, the players, staff members and the directors met at the J-Museum, just around the corner from the Allianz Stadium, for their Christmas dinner.

What Elkann told Juventus players during Christmas dinner

“It’s nice to be here together, all part of a big family,” Elkann said, according to Italian media including Sky Sport.

“We are here in our museum that celebrates the Juventus history. It’s important for you to know it, because you are now part of it.

“You are becoming an increasingly strong group and team, and you are all crucial in helping Juventus win again,” Elkann continued.

“Victory is the expression of what you do every day together, and for this I want to thank the staff, the team, the captain, the coach, all the directors and your families who are here.”

Elkann won’t sell Juventus

Only a few days ago, Elkann had rejected an offer from minority shareholders Tether to acquire a majority stake in Juventus.

Elkann’s family has owned the Bianconeri for over 100 years, and the strong sense of belonging is one of the reasons why the majority shareholders, Exor, are unwilling to sell the club.

Juventus’ next game is away at Pisa on Saturday, December 27.

The Bianconeri sit 5th in the Serie A table, just one point below fourth-placed Roma.

Roma have submitted the project for their new stadium, featuring a ‘monumental Curva Sud’ and ‘iconic architecture inspired by Roman tradition.’

Roma have delivered the project for their new stadium, the club said in a statement.

Roma unveil plan for new stadium: official statement

“AS Roma is pleased to announce that today, 23 December 2025, the PFTE (Technical and Economic Feasibility Study) for the New Stadium has been delivered, a crucial step that brings the Club closer to implementing one of the most ambitious and modern sports infrastructures in Europe,” the Giallorossi said.

“The submitted project, which precedes the final design phase, represents the result of in-depth work carried out with technical precision, attention to sustainability, and a clear vision: to offer the city of Rome and its fans a facility worthy of their history, passion, and future.

“The new stadium will feature:

• A monumental Curva Sud, the largest in Europe, designed as the beating heart of the stadium and a symbol of Romanista passion.
• Iconic architecture inspired by Roman tradition, with contemporary lines and a strong connection to the local territory.
• Modern, multifunctional spaces designed to experience AS Roma beyond matchdays.
• Targeted initiatives to improve mobility, services, environmental sustainability, and urban integration, with the goal of creating a sports and social hub of reference for the Capital.

“AS Roma wishes to extend a special and personal thanks to Mayor Roberto Gualtieri for his support, availability, and constant collaboration, which have made this crucial step possible.

Where will Roma build their new stadium?

“AS Roma also thanks the institutions of Roma Capitale, local authorities, and all stakeholders involved for their work together, which will also continue in the coming months.The delivery of the definitive project represents a concrete step toward the start of construction and confirms the Club’s determination to provide Rome with a modern, environmentally sustainable, and economically sound facility that can become a source of pride for the city and all its fans.”

The stadium will be built in the Pietralata neighbourhood in East Rome.

“The importance of the project, in terms of its scale, the modernity of the stadium, its potential urban impact and the planned timeline has allowed the Pietralata stadium to be included among the potential venues designated to host UEFA Euro 2032,” the club continued.

“AS Roma continues to work with passion, responsibility, and ambition: the future of our home is getting ever closer. Forza Roma.”

Multiple sources in Italy claim that German striker Niclas Fullkrug has picked the No.9 at Milan.

West Ham striker Fullkrug underwent medical tests in Milan on Tuesday and will be confirmed as a new purchase for the Rossoneri as soon as the January transfer window begins.

Fullkrug to wear Milan’s No.9

The 32-year-old will join the Rossoneri on loan with an option to buy.

According to multiple sources, including DAZN and Sky Sport Italia, Fullkrug will wear the No.9 at Milan in the second part of the season.

It’s expected to be a free loan deal with an option to buy between €11m and €13m.

Milan still interested in Vlahovic

Regardless of Fullkrug’s signature, the Rossoneri are already looking for a new striker for next season.

Football Italia understands that Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic remains a top target at San Siro, especially because the Serbian star is not expected to extend his expiring contract in Turin, becoming available for a free transfer at the end of the season.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma are interested in Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin and will continue negotiations for Giacomo Raspadori (Atletico Madrid) and Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United) after Christmas.

Roma are determined to strengthen their team in the January transfer window as they aim to qualify for the Champions League this season.

Roma’s strategy for Raspadori and Zirkzee

La Gazzetta reports that the Giallorossi want to sign four new players next month. Two strikers, ideally Giacomo Raspadori and Joshua Zirkzee, one centre-back and, perhaps, one central midfielder.

After Christmas, Roma will resume talks with Atletico Madrid directors, trying to agree on favourable conditions to bring Raspadori back to Italy.

As for Zirkzee, the Giallorossi are pushing for a loan deal with an option to buy, but Manchester United are still not entirely convinced about parting ways with the Dutchman in the winter transfer window.

Gasp an admirer of Dragusin

According to Gazzetta, Dragusin is a top target in defence. The Giallorossi consider signing the ex-Genoa and Juventus defender on loan with an option to buy.

It is reported that Gian Piero Gasperini is an admirer of Dragusin, and the Romania international is tempted to move to the capital to revive his career.

The big target in central midfield is Genoa’s Morten Frendrup. The two clubs might discuss a loan swap deal with Nicolò Pisilli, who would reunite with Daniele De Rossi, a big admirer of the promising Italian midfielder.
