OK random question but has anyone ever been to Juventus' new stadium? If yes, is it small as it looks like from the TV coverage?

Never been but like you say you can tell its small and has a 40k capacity.

De Rossi renewed with Roma, not a massive shock but good to see

Roma also strongly linked with Driussi from River Plate. You would hope it's from the future Salah money but it's a little weird, the Roma fansites that are best connected to the club have just done the basics with the Salah story rather than present a position of near confirmation; you get the sense there's still work to do.

Milan buy Kessie from Atlanta, seems next for them is Morata and Ricardo Rodriguez. Also they're lining up a bid for Belotti, it seems.

There have been some issue with Kessie's medical, and rumours were that he's in fact older than the reported age, but the signing eventually went through. Milan definitely are looking to spend big this summer, and to circumvent FFP the Kessie signing is actually a two-years loan at first, with the "official" signing and payment to go through in 2019.

look good for CL next season with the 4 spots to be honest, quality additions they've made to some of their nice players they already had

Fucking hell, Lazio ultras won't like that 

Be nice if they have though, hopefully gives others confidence to do the same, can't imagine it'd be received well by a lot of match goers in Italy, sadly

Not sure if they have, but the largely homophobic Twitter comments are fucking deplorable.

Apparently Donnaruma will not renew his contract at Milan. Weird. I'd be chuffed if I were 19, playing for my boyhood club and one of the cornerstones of a potentially exciting rebuild.

But his agent doesn't make a shit load of money if he stays.

we should make a bid

It's not really his boyhood club. He came up through their academy, but he's not a local lad from the Milan area who grew up supporting the club. He's from Castellammare, close to Naples.

His agent is Mino Raiola. Basically, he is going to Real Madrid or PSG. Maybe Man Utd, if De Gea goes to Real Madrid.

Two years after declaring bankruptcy and being relegated to the 4th tier of Italian football, Parma gets their second consecutive promotion in as many years and are now in Serie B after beating Alessandria 2-0 in the promotion playoff final.

Looks like there's a serious link between Bonucci and Milan which is a mindfuck. I don't understand that at all and would be a massive signing for them if they can pull it off.

rumours of Romagnoli going the other way

rumours of Romagnoli going the other way

Seems more likely it will be money and De Sciglio - I wouldn't be happy if I'm a Juventus fan. Apparently an issue with Allegri a few months back and an argument last month at half time in Cardiff have caused him to want out.

[ElCapo]

Roma bought him.

Klopp would have done wonders with him had we bought him in winter 2014.

Got there eventually

[NaivetyinBlack]

So Belotti started where he left off last season. Hatrick for Torino in a 7-1 win.
