Serie A chief executive Luigi De Siervo has announced that the Derby della Capitale between Roma and Lazio will be played on Sunday at 12:30 p.m., ending days of speculation about the fixture's timing. The decision places the derby on the same day as the Italian Open tennis final. De Siervo stated: "Seeking to balance all requirements, from public order to the Italian Open final through to the simultaneity rules for the final two matchdays, I am convinced that the 12:30 Sunday solution, which will also apply to four other matches, could address everyone's interests."

The ruling closes the possibility of moving the match to Monday, which De Siervo described as "fanciful or impractical." Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has accepted the decision, saying: "There are no other available times. No one is happy playing at 12:30, but I was told other slots are unavailable. Don't worry, we can do it." The announcement comes after opposition from other figures in Roman football who had advocated for a Monday evening slot to avoid clashes with the tennis championship and public safety concerns.

"Si giocherà domenica alle 12.30 insieme alle altre sfide Champions", questo l'annuncio di Luigi De Siervo, Amministratore delegato della Serie A, che dunque mette fine alla questione. De Siervo ha poi proseguito: "Cercando di tenere insieme, in un punto di equilibrio, tutte le esigenze, dall'ordine pubblico alla finale degli Internazionali di tennis fino alle esigenze di contemporaneità previste per le ultime due giornate di campionato, sono convinto che la soluzione delle 12.30 di domenica, che peraltro come detto riguarderà altre quattro partite, potrebbe contemplare l'interesse di tutti".Scegli tu cosa leggere: metti Forzaroma.info tra le tue fonti GoogleIl derby tra Roma e Lazio si giocherà dunque lo stesso giorno della Finale degli Internazionali di Tennis così come previsto inizialmente. Tramontata definitivamente la possibilità dello slittamento a lunedì, ipotesi che lo stesso De Siervo ha definito "fantasiosa o impercorribile". Una decisione che di certo non farà felice Maurizio Sarri che nei giorni scorsi aveva dichiarato: "È un insulto a Roma, alle due società romane, ai tifosi e qualcuno deve pagare. Spero che non ci facciano giocare a quell’ora, anche solo chi l'ha proposto se ne deve andare. Sicuramente io non vengo, non vi faccio le interviste per protesta. Vado in panchina poi mi alzo e me ne vado". Diverso invece il parere di Gasperini: "Non ci sono altri orari. Nessuno è felice di giocare alle 12:30, ma mi hanno spiegato che gli altri orari sono indisponibili. Tranquilli, che ci viene".Leggi anche Onorato: “Il derby si dovrebbe giocare lunedì sera.

Inter Regroup After Missing Out on Transfer Target

Inter have been forced to reassess their transfer strategy after failing to land Marco Palestra, who was their sole focus as a replacement for Denzel Dumfries. The Nerazzurri are now revisiting previously considered options to address the position. Among their alternatives are Dan Ndoye, who impressed during his time at Bologna, and Andrea Cambiaso from Juventus, who could become available for €35–40 million. Dodo is also back on Inter's radar due to his expiring contract, though Roma and Napoli are monitoring the situation. Inter have expressed strong interest in Wesley, currently at Roma, though he is considered a core player for the Giallorossi and unlikely to depart. Brooke Norton-Cuffy was previously identified as a backup option when Dumfries appeared headed to Liverpool in January. The criticism centres on Inter's transfer strategy: concentrating entirely on one target has left them vulnerable. Among the available options, Ndoye is regarded as the most talented but also likely the most expensive. Cambiaso could offer a fresh start but has limited experience on the right flank. Dodo represents a safer, though lower-ceiling, alternative. The prevailing view suggests Inter should have acted more decisively earlier in the window.
