La Gazzetta dello Sport have explored the situation and they speak of the reasons behind the Frenchman's exit from the Stadio Olimpico.

They believe that tensions were lingering at the club due to the situation of Mile Svilar, whose contract situation was being delayed. While the farewell took place by mutual agreement, the goalkeeper's renewal proved to be the last straw for the Friedkins.
The newspaper claim that Ghisolfi had a strained relationship with many agents – including those of Alexis Saelemaekers. The ownership wanted to cash in on the sale of Angelino and the failure to do has fallen on Ghisolfi's shoulders.
More than that, there were issues regarding the renewals of many Primavera players. These issues emerged in a clear video call involving the parties and the Friedkins learned that only Claudio Ranieri's intervention was making sure of Svilar's renewal.
A solution was reached early in the morning and CFO Lorenzo Vitali was the one to show Ghisolfi the door, with Ricky Massara in pole position to replace the Frenchman.

Exclusive: Liverpool step up interest in Parma starlet Leoni amid Milan & Inter rumours
Giovanni Leoni and Liverpool: the first call came on August 5 from Gianluigi Longari – until that moment, the 2006-born centre-back had never been linked with the Reds. Now talk is spreading because this could get serious, with contacts intensifying and because Italian clubs, for various reasons, are not getting anywhere near Parma's asking price of €40 million.

Inter could do it but today they are focused solely on the Lookman situation. And when Liverpool step onto the pitch, the situation needs to be monitored at the very least – because it can always get more and more serious… PARMA, ITALY – APRIL 05:Giovanni Leoni of Parma Calcio in action during the Serie A match between Parma and FC Internazionale at Stadio Ennio Tardini on April 05, 2025 in Parma, Italy.

Donnarumma ‘disappointed and disheartened' at PSG Super Cup squad omission
Gianluigi Donnarumma has been left 'disappointed and disheartened' at Luis Enrique's decision to push the Paris St Germain goalkeeper towards the exit door. Italy international Donnarumma was an eye-catching omission from PSG's Super Cup squad for Wednesday's fixture with Tottenham in his home country. Big-money summer arrival Lucas Chevalier has been included and is set to make his PSG debut at Stadio Friuli after Luis Enrique confirmed he wanted a goalkeeper profile that was 'different' to Donnarumma. Italy captain Donnarumma has since taken to Instagram to criticise the decision and expressed his desire to say goodbye 'in the eyes one more time' to the PSG supporters at Parc des Princes. 'To the special Paris fans, from the first day I arrived, I gave everything – on and off the pitch – to earn my place and defend the goal of Paris Saint-Germain,' Donnarumma said. 'Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team's success, I am disappointed and disheartened. 'I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done. 'If that doesn't happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me and I will never forget it. I will always carry with me the memory of all the emotions, the magical nights and of you, who made me feel at home. 'To my team-mates – my second family – thank you for every battle, every laugh, every moment we shared. You will always be my brothers. 'Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour. Thank you, Paris.' Luis Enrique explained his decision in Udine, he said: 'These are always difficult decisions to make. 'I can definitely talk about Gigio, because he's one of the best players in his position, without a doubt. He's even better as a person. 'We're looking for a goalkeeping profile that is different to Donnarumma. It's always difficult to make the decision in these kinds of situations.' Luis Enrique also revealed Tottenham were once an option for him and admitted they have a physical advantage on Wednesday. The 55-year-old was linked with the vacancy at Spurs after Antonio Conte left in 2023, but Ange Postecoglou was eventually hired and Luis Enrique subsequently took over PSG in a sliding doors moment for both men. Postecoglou was able to mastermind Europa League success in May and end Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought, whilst Luis Enrique guided PSG to the holy grail of a maiden Champions League title. The pair will not face each other in Italy after Spurs ruthlessly discarded with Postecoglou following a poor domestic campaign and the appointment of Thomas Frank – alongside the fact they have been in pre-season training since early July, while PSG only returned last Wednesday after their Club World Cup exploits – gives the English outfit a slight edge according to Luis Enrique. 'Well, I have to say that it is difficult because they change recently the manager, new manager, some new players, they play a few friendly matches before tomorrow's match and I don't know what kind of game they are going to plan,' Luis Enrique acknowledged. 'It is going to be difficult because they have been training for the last month and we are in our first week, but it is not an excuse. 'We are going to try to compete at our best.' On Spurs' links, Luis Enrique added: 'Well, there were some options for me in the last six months before I came to Paris and Tottenham was one of them.'

Udinese have completed the signing of Scottish midfielder Lennon Miller from Motherwell, the club confirmed this evening. Miller joins the Serie A side for a reported fee of around €5.5 million after the 18-year-old completed his medical on Monday. Speaking on X, the club's official account welcomed the 'modern midfielder, capable of combining technique, vision and character', describing him as 'one of the brightest young talents in European football.'

Benvenuto, Lennon! 🙌 — Udinese Calcio (@Udinese_1896) August 12, 2025 Lennon Miller finally joins Udinese In January, Udinese had a bid rejected alongside Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise by Motherwell for the youngster but now the Serie A outfit have finally been able to wrap up the deal. GLASGOW, SCOTLAND – MARCH 01: Lennon Miller of Motherwell is seen during the William Hill Premiership match between Rangers FC and Motherwell FC at Ibrox Stadium on March 01, 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The 18-year-old also earned his first two caps for the Scottish national team after the bright prospect lit up the Scottish Premiership. Miller came up through the Motherwell system, where he had played since the age of eight. His rapid rise to prominence can be seen through his escalation throughout the Scottish youth set-up, only making his first appearances for the U19 squad in 2023, with just two years between that and his first game for the first team.
