The Bianconero future of Zinedine Zidane and the denial of a Filippo Inzaghi incident are the central stories in today's dailies. Zidane's resolve to remain with Juventus takes centre stage in the Gazzetta dello Sport. Despite this being Spain's year, the classy French playmaker maintains that "next year will once again be the turn of the Italian clubs, and we will witness the return of Juventus to the European summits." Asked whether he has any desire to try his hand in the Primera Liga, he once again stresses the great leap of quality that the Spanish League has made, but insists, "I'm happy at Juventus and want to remain. Next year we will accomplish great things."

In the Corriere dello Sport space is given to Luciano Moggi, the club’s general manager. Once again, he is forced to step in to deny the rumours that Filippo Inzaghi is free to go, with a definitive: "I repeat, Inzaghi is not for sale." The rumours had re-started after Del Piero's Italy and Juventus partner was left on the bench against Fiorentina. The Roman daily also interviews Carlo Ancelotti on the subject: "I have never had any doubts about his ability," he maintains. "Then it's up to the club. I only have a say in the technical decisions."

Tuttosport prefers to give its attention to Alex Del Piero, who comments on his physical condition. Although the Italy coach Dino Zoff has called him up, he is unlikely to play as he is suffering from muscle strain. Del Piero himself is philosophical about his situation, saying, "It is better to play those who are fitter. I will definitely be back with Juventus against Verona, however, as I will be able to go back to training in a couple of days."
