Today’s papers: Bernardo Silva picks Juventus as Milan face crisis summit

Here is a look at the key football stories making the front pages of Italy’s three major sports newspapers on Saturday, May 16.

La Gazzetta dello Sport leads with Milan’s must-win mentality ahead of their clash with Genoa, with Allegri quoted saying the match will be treated “like a final.”

The paper reports that the coach is counting on Rabiot and his most trusted players to secure the six points needed from their final two games to clinch Champions League football.

There is also news of a summit in London as Tare and CEO Furlani edge closer to their exits from the club.

Tuttosport splashes on the Bernardo Silva saga, reporting that Juventus CEO Damien Comolli is personally leading negotiations with the Manchester City midfielder and hopes to have an answer within ten days.

The paper reports that an offer of €8 million per season until 2028 has been tabled, but Champions League qualification remains a non-negotiable condition. Brahim Diaz is cited as the alternative should the deal fall through. There is also a mention of a tentative move for Venezia’s Doumbia.

Corriere dello Sport also leads on Bernardo Silva, declaring that the Portuguese has made his choice, Juventus, after nine years and 76 goals at Manchester City.

The paper confirms he has turned down offers from Saudi Arabia and MLS, and that Spalletti has identified him as the ideal attacking midfielder for his system.

Elsewhere, the Corriere reports that Dybala’s agent has arrived in Rome ahead of the derby, with Champions League qualification and a potential renewal with the Friedkin family both on the agenda. Napoli’s push for second place is also highlighted, with Conte’s side travelling to Pisa to seal Champions League qualification.
