🚨 Official: Napoli sign Miguel Gutiérrez
After weeks of negotiations, Napoli now has an alternative at left-back to Mathías Olivera, and what an alternative...
He arrives from Girona, which loses one of its key players, for about 18 million euros plus two in variables, to shine in the Italian Serie A, where he has been linked all this time with teams like Juventus or Milan.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid earns about 9 million euros from this transfer as they hold 50% of the player's rights.

Bailey joins Roma on season-long loan from Villa
Leon Bailey has completed a loan move from Aston Villa to Italian club Roma. The Jamaica winger has joined the Italian side for the 2025-26 season and the deal includes an option to buy. The 28-year-old made a £25m move to Villa from German club Bayer Leverkusen in 2021 and went on to score 22 goals in 144 appearances. Bailey claimed a career-high 14 goals in 52 games in all competitions in the 2023-24 season, but he scored just twice in 38 games last term. He signed a new contract with Villa in February 2024 that runs until 2027. 'A major asset for us' - Ramsey completes Newcastle move Listen to the latest Football Daily podcast

Serie A 2025/26 Predictions: Title Race, Top-Four Contenders, Relegation and Golden Boot
The 2025/26 Serie A season begins on Saturday, and a three-way race for the title is likely to take shape. Antonio Conte did the unthinkable in his first season at Napoli as the Partenopei wrestled back the Scudetto from Inter Milan in one of the most dramatic title races in recent memory. Only one point separated the two sides after 38 rounds, but it was enough to earn the southern giants their fourth-ever title in Italy's top flight. Juventus eked out a fourth-place finish in the Serie A table on the final day, while Atalanta finished third in Gian Piero Gasperini's last season at the Gewiss Stadium. Despite Claudio Ranieri's best efforts, Roma missed out on Champions League qualification by a single point. He returned to retirement after the end of the season. AC Milan miserably flopped and failed to secure European football altogether. With a new manager, the Rossoneri will look to atone for a dreadful campaign. Title Favourites Conte resurrected Napoli in his first season at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The Partenopei went from a miserable 10th-place finish in 2023/24 to reclaiming the Scudetto despite losing star forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia midway through the season. In the absence of the Georgian winger, a new hero emerged in the form of Scott McTominay, who won the MVP award for his title-winning exploits in his maiden season in Serie A. Reluctant to rest on their laurels, Napoli have been among the most active Italian clubs in the transfer window this summer. Kevin De Bruyne has arrived from Manchester City to reunite with his international colleague Romelu Lukaku. Sam Beukema's transfer from Bologna is intended to strengthen Conte's options at the back, with Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca expected to add to Napoli's firepower. With Conte at the steering wheel and a heavily reinforced squad, the Partenopei seem well-positioned to become the first defending Serie A champions to go back-to-back since Juventus in 2020. Genuine Contenders Conte's 'second season' syndrome could be Napoli's worst enemy this term, with several seasoned contenders poised to pounce at the first sign of weakness. Inter Milan could reclaim the crown, even though they lost long-serving manager Simone Inzaghi to Al-Hilal at the beginning of the summer. New manager Cristian Chivu faces an uphill task in filling Inzaghi's shoes and proving he can succeed at the highest level in his first high-profile role in senior management. Like Napoli, the San Siro giants have significantly bolstered their squad with the additions of Petar Sucic, Luis Henrique and Ange-Yoan Bonny. More importantly, they've fended off foreign interest in Marcus Thuram, Denzel Dumfries and Hakan Calhanoglu, maintaining the skeleton of Inzaghi's title-winning side. After five unenviable seasons, Juventus could return to being the protagonists despite their summer dealings being far less eye-catching than those of their direct rivals. With Jonathan David set to replace Dusan Vlahovic in attack, manager Igor Tudor hopes the former Lille striker's mobility and pace can inject fresh impetus into the Bianconeri's frontline. Top-Four Race It would be surprising to see any of the three aforementioned teams dropping out of the top four in 2025/26. Based on other sides' transfer business and last season's performances, they appear guaranteed to secure three of the top four places. However, watch out for Roma. It will be exciting to see how Gasperini will fare at the Stadio Olimpico after achieving remarkable success in Bergamo. Much will likely depend on Paulo Dybala's ability to stay fit, considering he remains the heart and soul of this Giallorossi squad. Atalanta will stake their claim for a Champions League finish, but after undergoing profound changes during the summer, that looks unlikely. In addition to parting ways with Gasperini, they have named Ivan Juric as his successor. His footballing style sharply contrasts with his predecessor's. La Dea have sold last season's Serie A top scorer, Mateo Retegui, to Al-Qadsiah, with Ademola Lookman is pressuring the club to let him join Inter. AC Milan could overtake the Bergamo club in the pecking order after reappointing Massimiliano Allegri. However, after severing ties with Tijjani Reijnders and Theo Hernandez, their chances of climbing the table look slim. Relegation Battle Cremonese have made their return to the top flight after a two-year absence, but they look destined for immediate relegation. Forced to operate on a tight budget, they have struggled to attract quality players during the summer. Davide Nicola's appointment alone speaks volumes, given the former Cagliari boss typically manages teams fighting for survival. Pisa also seem set to drop back to Serie B in their first season back to the elite division since the early 1990s. Lecce have been flirting with the danger zone for years, but after avoiding the drop by the smallest of margins in recent seasons, they may succumb this time. Golden Boot Serie A will crown a new Capocannoniere winner this season now that Retegui has swapped Atalanta for Saudi Arabia. Last year's runner-up, Moise Kean, will look to go one step further in 2025/26, as Fiorentina begin the new campaign with renewed optimism following Stefano Pioli's return to the club. However, Lautaro Martinez is the leading candidate to win the Serie A top scorer award. Despite an unimpressive last season, El Toro is arguably the most complete centre-forward in Italy's top flight, with the entire Inter squad focused on supplying him with opportunities. Lukaku could challenge his former partner in crime now that he has De Bruyne behind him. The 32-year-old striker was central to Napoli's title win last season, though he managed just 14 goals. With Conte building the team around his favourite goal-scorer, an improvement on last year's tally looks like a virtual certainty for the Belgian star. Roma's Artem Dovbyk is a potential dark horse, while no one would dare to rule David out of the race after everything he did in Ligue 1 over the past five years.

Serie A Preview: Coaching revolution in 2025-26
More than half of Italy's top division teams appointed new managers in the summer. Giancarlo Rinaldi looks at the familiar faces – and fresher ones – on the benches across the country. When Antonio Conte looks to defend the Scudetto he won last season with Napoli, he could be forgiven for thinking he had moved to a new division. Of the coaching adversaries he faced at the start of the last campaign, just four will lock horns with him again with the same team this time around. Considering that the Partenopei boss himself also looked set to move on for a time, it has been a summer of almost unprecedented upheaval. It is easier to list the men with over one year's service for their clubs than the ones without. Fabio Grosso has stayed put at Sassuolo after strolling through Serie B with a side too good for Italy's second tier. It will be intriguing to see if he can maintain the upward momentum of his coaching stock in more testing surroundings. The only others with more than 12 months at their current club are Bologna's Vincenzo Italiano, Udinese's Kosta Runjaic, Verona's Paolo Zanetti and Cesc Fabregas at Como. It is remarkable that getting another season in charge is such an unusual vote of confidence. COMO, ITALY – JULY 18: Head coach Como Cesc Fabregas reacts during the friendly match between Como and Lille at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on July 18, 2025 in Como, Italy. (Photo by) You could argue, of course, that there is at least a hint of continuity at Genoa, where Patrick Vieira is rewarded for keeping his team afloat and Igor Tudor carries on at Juventus. The former will be expected to avoid the drop a little more comfortably this time around, but the pressure on his Bianconero counterpart is a lot more intense. There was plenty of speculation that the Croatian would be shown the door for a bigger name but in the end La Vecchia Signora decided to remain loyal. However, nobody would be surprised if they pulled the trigger once more if early results are disappointing. Although Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina have made changes they have all gone for familiar faces who they hope will confound the footballing wisdom that return deals are often less successful than they were the first time around. Max Allegri will be charged with making the Rossoneri more competitive than they have been for a while, which seems like a mission he can surely accomplish – even if the football may not be spectacular. Another former occupant of the bench at San Siro, Stefano Pioli, is back in Florence on what feels like a sentimental journey. He was the man in charge when Davide Astori died and would love nothing more than to deliver a trophy with the Viola. Then, finally, we have Maurizio Sarri at the Biancocelesti, which seems unlikely to be anything other than entertaining. SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE – JULY 23: Massimiliano Allegri, Head Coach of AC Milan looks on prior to the Pre-Season Friendly match between Arsenal FC and AC Milan at National Stadium on July 23, 2025 in Singapore. (Photo by Yong) The challenge facing Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma is a fascinating one, having left behind the club he served brilliantly for so long in Bergamo. Can he take the template he used so successfully at Atalanta with the Giallorossi and do it quickly enough to satisfy a club with more lofty expectations? If he can harness the resources at his disposal in the right way they could truly be a revelation. The Christian Chivu era at Inter is also one that will be worth a watch. There is no doubt the Nerazzurri retain a strong squad but their coach is low on experience. What that will translate to in terms of results remains to be seen but this is a club that has got used to being in the upper reaches of the table. Anything else would not be acceptable. CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – JUNE 30: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of FC Internazionale Milano, looks on during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 round of 16 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Fluminense FC at Bank of America Stadium on June 30, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) The most intriguing appointment of the rest might well be Carlos Cuesta at Parma. Aged just 30, they are clearly hoping that the experience he has gathered alongside Mikel Arteta at Arsenal can stand him in good stead. The rewards are potentially great if that translates to insight into Serie A pretty quickly. Elsewhere, there are a mix of old stagers or coaches trying to revive their reputations. Ivan Juric remains a curious fit for Atalanta while Marco Baroni moves along to Torino having been judged as not up to the Lazio job – it might well suit him better. Alberto Gilardino gets another crack at the big time with Pisa, while Eusebio Di Francesco dodged the drop with Venezia by moving across to Lecce. New boys Cremonese put their faith in Mr Miracles, Davide Nicola, while Cagliari have promoted from within with former youth team boss Fabio Pisacane taking the reins. There is likely to be some long, hard graft ahead of all of them to remain in a job until the end of the season. The trend to seek change – even when successful – looks here to stay for quite some time to come.
