The corridors of power in Turin are buzzing with whispers of an imminent revolution as Luciano Spalletti, the man entrusted with steering the Old Lady back to glory, is set to hold a high stakes meeting with Juventus chief John Elkann. This development comes amid troubling times for the Bianconeri, who now face the very real prospect of missing out on the Champions League for the first time in 15 years, a scenario that would send shockwaves through the Italian football establishment and beyond.

Patrons gathered at the Football Viewing Centre in Surulere will be shaking their heads as they sip their zobo, lamenting the fall of a giant they once admired from afar. In Ikeja, at the popular Delta Bar, the talk will shift quickly to Victor Osimhen. �s future, with one fan shouting that the Super Eagles man must reject any move to a side that cannot offer him Champions League football.
