Juventus Still Need Improvement
Fabio Capello has shared his thoughts on the current state of affairs at the top of Serie A in his La Gazzetta dello Sport column. The former head coach of Juventus and AC Milan believes that the Old Lady still have a big problem - their goalkeeper position. Despite reports that Juventus could look to sign Zion Suzuki on loan from PSG, Capello thinks that Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario is the stronger option.
Capello wrote that Juventus still have a big problem with their goalkeeper position. He believes that Vicario is the better option compared to Suzuki, who has not yet shown that he can perform well at big clubs. Vicario, on the other hand, has already demonstrated his ability to play at a high level in London.
Milan's Uncertainty
Capello is also troubled by the current situation at AC Milan. The Rossoneri are still waiting for two big names in Mike Maignan and Adrien Rabiot to return from their holidays. The new signings Gila and Ramos have not been seen much, and the clear starting XI that head coach Ruben Amorim will have in mind is still unclear.
Capello is concerned that there is still a bit of confusion around the Rossoneri, starting with Rafael Leao's situation. Leao publicly called for the Premier League, which may have overestimated himself. If he stays, Capello believes that the San Siro reaction to the first time he fails to run will be negative.
Milan Must Go Back to Italian Core
Capello hopes that the next meeting between Cardinale and Amorim will bring some order and provide the right boost to sort things out on the market heading into the final 20 days. One concept that should be made clear, though, is that Milan must go back to having an Italian core. This is why Capello hopes that the young lads Francesco Camarda, Christian Comotto, Davide Bartesaghi, and Lorenzo Torriani remain in the squad.
Juventus' Signings
Capello is encouraged by Juventus' signings of Randal Kolo Muani and Kerim Alajbegovic. However, he believes that the defence is in need of improvement and that a new goalkeeper is a priority. Juventus don't yet seem like a Luciano Spalletti side to Capello, and Milan look like an open construction site.
The Distance Between Inter and Their Rivals
The distance between Milan and Juventus and Inter, the champions of Italy, seems difficult to bridge in such a short space of time. Capello believes that Inter remain the strong favourites to reclaim the Serie A title in 2026-27. The clock is ticking, and there is now less than a fortnight to go until the start of the 2026-27 Serie A season.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Fabio Capello believes that Juventus still need improvement, particularly in their goalkeeper position. He thinks that Vicario is the stronger option compared to Suzuki. Capello is also troubled by the current situation at AC Milan, which is still waiting for two big names to return from their holidays. Milan must go back to having an Italian core, and Capello hopes that the young lads remain in the squad.
