Derby della Capitale fixture uncertain; potential shift to Monday evening under consideration

Source: Forza Roma

The timing of Roma's upcoming derby against SS Lazio remains unconfirmed following scheduling complications affecting multiple Serie A title contenders. The Lega Serie A initially announced the match for Sunday, May 17 at 12:30 p.m., alongside fixtures for Napoli, Milan, Juventus, and Como in the Champions League race. However, a provincial public order and security committee meeting scheduled for today could alter these plans, with Monday, May 18 emerging as a possible new date.

Local authorities — the prefettura and questura — are considering various kickoff times. While officials prefer an 18:00 start, an evening kickoff is also under discussion, despite evening fixtures typically being restricted due to public safety concerns. The Lega Serie A opposes any postponement and has indicated readiness to escalate the matter to competent authorities, including potential legal action through the Tar (administrative court). League chief executive Luigi De Siervo has proposed an alternative: postponing the final of the Rome International Tennis Tournament to free up security resources.

The fixture is complicated by concurrent scheduling demands across the league, with multiple clubs competing for Champions League qualification. Details remain unclear regarding which option will ultimately prevail, though a decision is expected soon following today's security meeting.

La Lega Serie A ieri ha dato una forte accelerata, decidendo di fare uscire in anticipo rispetto al solito martedì il programma della prossima giornata di campionato: Roma-Lazio e le altre gare per la Champions sono fissate alle 12.30 di domenica 17 maggio. Non hanno aspettato neanche la partita del Napoli, pubblicando il calendario di anticipi e posticipi con un asterisco («Qualora non si rendesse necessaria la contemporaneità, la gara si disputerà domenica alle ore 18»). Peccato che - come riporta la Gazzetta dello Sport -oggi in prefettura si terrà sul tema un comitato provinciale per l’ordine e la sicurezza pubblica e l’idea sarebbe quella di fare slittare il derby a lunedì 18 maggio. Una decisione condivisa che sembra non escludere l’ipotesi che si possa giocare la sera. È chiaro che prefettura e questura preferirebbero fissare la gara alle 18, ma è possibile che - riconoscendo i potenziali problemi dei tifosi - si prenda in considerazione anche un orario serale, solitamente vietato sempre per problemi di ordine pubblico.Una soluzione che potrebbe sembrare un compromesso, ma che invece non piace affatto alla Lega Serie A, pronta a tenere il punto se si verificasse un qualsiasi slittamento e anche a rivalersi nelle famose “sedi competenti”, tanto da non escludere un ricorso al Tar. Sul tavolo poi l’a.d. Luigi De Siervo ha piazzato un’ipotesi alternativa, sperando che venga valutata anche da chi gestisce la sicurezza a Roma: «Posticipare la finale degli Internazionali», ha detto a “La politica nel pallone” su Gr Parlamento-Radio Rai.Leggi anche Gasperini al potere: il tecnico vola senza Ranieri Malen da record.

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.
