Scotland midfielders Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour made their first pre-season appearances for Napoli on Monday during a 1-1 draw with Casertana. The duo came on in the 62nd minute as the Serie A champions ramped up preparations for the defence of their Scudetto title. However, they were unable to help Napoli land a victory against their Serie C opponents, who took the lead through Michele Vano on 35 minutes before Matteo Politano levelled matters just before the break.

Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour came on after 62 minutes in Monday's friendly. | Getty Images McTominay reported back to Napoli pre-season training still recovering from a minor injury he picked up playing for Scotland against Iceland back in June, while Gilmour was also given extra time off to prepare for the 2025/26 season. "This preseason is really important for us,' McTominay said to Naples-based media outlet Il Mattino. 'We're giving it our all every day to build new connections that will be useful throughout the upcoming season. It's not always easy to play these friendly matches during preparation. But once the season begins, there will obviously be no excuses. That's precisely why we're building something physically and mentally solid that can help us later. 'Winning the Scudetto hasn't changed anything, we need to rediscover and maintain the same attitude and mentality we found last year. Just because we won the championship, we can't stop, relax, or rest on our laurels. In every match, every game, the level will be high. And we'll have to live up to it. I'll borrow the coach's motto and make it my own: 'Amma fatica [we will work hard]' ... always.'"

The Scotland talisman has settled into Neapolitan life seamlessly after leaving Manchester United last summer. "I never thought I'd become an idol in my life,' McTominay said on his status at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. 'Despite everything, in my view, I'm still a normal guy, someone who grew up in a fantastic family made up of people who have always worked hard in their lives. This was important to me. 'But during this year together, I've realised how visceral their love is to Neapolitans. I respect the way they relate to us and the team. For me, it's important to do my best every time for the people of this city: they showed us incredible support throughout last season, and they must continue like this in the next one." McTominay has a new teammate in former Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne and he added on the signing of the Belgian: "His arrival didn't surprise me, absolutely not. Because I was aware of how strong Napoli was, of the club's ambitions."

Conte has so far brought in De Bruyne, goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic from Torino, Bologna defender Sam Beukema, Empoli defender Luca Marianucci and PSV forward Noa Lang.

Inter Milan Legend Skeptical Of Lookman Links: ‘Players Who Leave Atalanta Tend To Struggle'
Legendary former Inter Milan captain Beppe Bergomi has doubts about a move for Ademola Lookman as 'players who leave Atalanta tend to struggle.' Bergomi gave his thoughts in an interview with Naples-based newspaper Il Mattino, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan are pushing to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian international is their top target in attack this summer. The Nerazzurri have already made an offer to Atalanta for Lookman. La Dea have rejected the initial bid, which Inter have not yet increased. However, the player himself reportedly wants to join. Bergomi Skeptical Of Inter Lookman Links: 'Players Who Leave Atalanta Tend To Struggle' CAGLIARI, ITALY – NOVEMBER 25: Beppe Bergomi looks on during the Serie A match between Cagliari Calcio and FC Internazionale at Stadio Sant'Elia on November 25, 2017 in Cagliari, Italy. (Photo by) If Lookman were to arrive, he would certainly be a big name signing for Inter. The 27-year-old is a well-proven player in Serie A. Therefore, the hope would be that Lookman would be the kind of signing that would instantly bolster the Inter starting eleven. Particularly if the Nerazzurri are to pay a big fee for him. However, former Inter captain Beppe Bergomi isn't so sure. 'Players who leave Atalanta have tended to struggle,' he noted. 'But with that said, he could be a useful player. I hope he ends up in a Nerazzurri shirt.' However, Bergomi also cautioned that 'then you have to change the system of play.' The former Inter captain was certain that 'you can't leave out Lautaro or Thuram.'

Second Italian journalist targeted with Paragon spyware, watchdog group says
By Raphael Satter LONDON (Reuters) -A second Italian journalist was recently targeted by software made by U.S.-owned surveillance company Paragon, internet watchdog group Citizen Lab said, raising new questions about a surveillance scandal that has already led Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government and Paragon to part ways. Citizen Lab said in a report on Thursday that Italian investigative journalist Ciro Pellegrino's iPhone showed evidence of having been targeted by Paragon's sophisticated spy software. Pellegrino works at the online newspaper Fanpage, whose editor-in-chief Francesco Cancellato earlier disclosed that he was one of scores of users who received January alerts from WhatsApp that they had been targeted using Paragon's technology. Fanpage has published a stream of critical coverage of Meloni's government, notably an exposé tying her party's youth wing to neo-Nazi activity, and the allegation that Fanpage's journalists, among others, were put under surveillance has stirred controversy in Italy. On Monday, the government and Paragon announced that they were no longer working together, offering conflicting explanations about who fired whom. Paragon referred questions back to an earlier statement it provided to the Israeli publication Haaretz in which it said it had offered Italian officials a way to check whether its systems had been used against Cancellato, but that Italian authorities had rebuffed the offer. Italian officials did not return a message seeking comment on the Citizen Lab report. In a text exchange with Reuters, Pellegrino said the discovery that he had been targeted with spyware was "horrible." The Naples-based journalist said his phone was "the black box of my life, which contains everything from personal and health data to journalistic sources." Although an Italian parliamentary panel reported on Monday that the country's spy services had deployed Paragon's tools to intercept the communications of migrant sea rescue activists in the context of law enforcement work, the panel said it had found no evidence that the tools were used by Italian intelligence to go after Fanpage's Cancellato. The discovery of Paragon spyware on the phone of one of Cancellato's colleagues adds to questions about the panel's thoroughness, said Natalia Krapiva, a senior lawyer with Access Now, a human rights group that works with spyware victims. "It sheds serious doubt on the adequacy of the investigation," she said. The Italian parliamentary panel, which has reserved the right to conduct further investigations around the matter, did not respond to a message seeking comment. In its report, Citizen Lab also said that an unnamed European journalist was hacked with Paragon's spyware. The lab, which is based out of the University of Toronto, offered no other details and declined to answer questions about the journalist's identity or the circumstances of their targeting.
