      Walace, 27, has been with Italian giants Udinese since 2019 after spells in Germany with Hamburg and Hannover.
      The five-time Brazil international has been one of their key players this term, lifting them to fourth in Serie A.
      However, Walace almost became a cropper in the small hours of Tuesday morning while driving in west Udine.
      The star was behind the wheel of his £100k Audi RS6 when he crashed into a central reservation.

      The car then overturned as it skidded along the road.
      And it then burst into flames as Walace hauled himself from the wreckage.
      Incredibly, the star escaped with NO injuries.
      Nobody else was hurt in the crash as fire engines and an ambulance raced to the scene.

      Walace was rushed to the emergency room where he was quickly given the all-clear.
      And it’s now reckoned Walace has already been passed fit by medics for Udinese’s trip to Lazio on Sunday.
      The playmaker will be hoping his terrifying experience doesn’t affect his performance too much.
      Lazio have also had a cracking start to the new season and are level on points with Udinese.
      But with 90 appearances and counting for his club, fans will be backing Walace to continue delivering the goods. More

      Man Utd transfer blow as Juventus plot swoop for long-term target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to reports.The 28-year-old Serbian, whose contract runs until 2024, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford for a number of years.

      But a transfer away from Lazio has never materialised and he has racked up 306 appearances for the Serie A side, scoring 62 goals.
      In the summer, he was once again thought to be the subject of interest from Man Utd.
      However, now Erik ten Hag’s men have serious competition when it comes to his signature.
      According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus will make an offer for the player in the January window.

      It comes after a poor start to the season in which Max Allegri’s side sit eighth in the Italian top flight, 10 points behind early pacesetters Napoli.
      They have also lost three of their four Champions League group stage games and are set to drop down to the Europa League.
      Their 2-0 defeat to AC Milan in Serie A at the weekend once again showcased a weakness in the midfield.
      And with Angel di Maria and Adrien Rabiot’s contracts expiring in the summer, reinforcements may be required if they are to start turning things around.

      It remains to be seen whether or not Lazio will decide to sell Milinkovic-Savic after they refused to offload him for any less than £88million just a few months ago.
      His agent, former Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman, claimed in August that the midfielder wants Champions League football.
      And this is thought to be the reason he rejected approaches from Arsenal and Newcastle in the summer.
      Juventus are currently in Europe’s premier competition, but face a potential group stage exit from this season’s edition.
      And they are already playing catch-up when it comes to qualification for next year, with Allegri’s men already seven points adrift of the top four. More

      Ex-Leicester and Everton star Lookman seems to be enjoying life in Serie A and has scored three and produced the same amount of assists so far.
      But he was left perplexed on Sunday after being bizarrely yellow carded after his latest goal.
      The winger opened the scoring during Atalanta’s away trip to Udinese.
      He then celebrated in his own unique style by cupping his fingers over his eyes.

      However, just seconds later he was visibly shocked as referee Daniele Doveri waved a yellow card at him.
      The official then gestured that the booking was for Lookman’s celebration – something that left the former Fulham loanee completely perplexed.
      He tried to protest before his Atalanta team-mates dragged him away as his manager Gian Piero Gasperini looked on in frustration.
      Despite that strange scenario, Lookman’s side doubled their lead through Luis Muriel shortly after half time.

      Lookman was then taken off by Gasperini in the 65th minute as his team appeared to be cruising towards the three points.
      But there was more disappointment in store as the hosts started a fightback.
      Fellow ex-Premier League star Gerard Deulofeu grabbed one back just two minutes after Lookman was taken off.
      Udinese then levelled with 12 minutes to go courtesy of defender Nehuen Perez’s header. More

      Juventus beat off competition from Arsenal to sign the Italy star in 2021.
      The transfer came in the form of an initial two-year loan deal – with Juve having to pay £35m to make it permanent next summer.
      Reports in Italy suggest that Massimiliano Allegri and Co have not been overly impressed by Locatelli, however, and could opt to let him leave.
      Arsenal remain interested in the 24-year-old and could look to tempt him into joining this time around.

      And they could even look to charge a bigger fee in order to try and make a profit.
      Arsenal are claimed to have already made enquiries to Juve regarding Locatelli’s availability.
      And it’s even been suggested that they could offer Albert Sambi Lokonga in a swap deal.

      Ex-Juventus hero Dybala pulled up clutching the left leg he had used to stroke home his 48th minute spot-kick.
      Team-mates who had rushed to congratulate him immediately changed their reaction to concern as he grimaced and continued to hold his thigh.
      Dybala then hobbled off and was substituted straight away.
      Mourinho said: “The injury looks very bad. I’d say bad, but honestly after speaking with Paulo… I think very bad”.

      Dybala is now expected to have medical checks on Monday, less than seven weeks before the World Cup starts in Qatar.
      Ex-Manchester United defender Chris Smalling headed Roma in front early on.
      And Lecce midfielder Mortan Hjulmand soon picked up a straight red card – via VAR – for a late challenge on Andrea Belotti.
      But Gabriel Strefezza stunned Roma by smashing Lecce level.

      Mourinho threw on ex-Chelsea hitman Tammy Abraham and Leonardo Spinazzola for the second period as Roma needed victory to go fifth in Serie A.
      And on 48 minutes England hopeful Abraham was clipped by Kristoffer Askildsen, enabling Dybala to tuck home the decisive goal – as his last happy moment of the night.
      It’s just the latest injury problem for the 28-year-old, although until Sunday he appeared to be enjoying one of his best seasons for fitness.

      Man Utd one of two Premier League clubs in transfer running for Hirving ‘Chucky’ Lozano, claims Napoli star’s ex-agent

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly one of two Premier League clubs chasing Hirving “Chucky” Lozano.The 27-year-old Mexican international is currently starring for Napoli in Italy.
      Hirving Lozano’s former agent has predicted a move to Man Utd or Everton next summerCredit: Rex
      The forward moved to Serie A from PSV in 2019 and has scored 20 goals in 95 matches since.
      He was initially linked with a move to England during his time in Holland, and other reports have surfaced over more recent times.
      Everton were considering a swoop for the ace, who is under contract until 2024, when Carlo Ancelotti, who managed him at Napoli, was in charge.
      They continue to hold an interest despite Frank Lampard now being at the helm.

      Now Lozano’s former agent, Alessandro Monfrecola, has claimed that both the Toffees and United could sign his client at the end of the season.
      Monfrecola told Gonfia la Rete: “Next June, Lozano will leave in my opinion, also because he earns over 4 million at Napoli.
      “Although he is delighted to be here, he has never hidden that he aspired to the top English clubs, although now he is probably realising that Napoli itself is a top club.
      “He has never hidden that he loves Barcelona and Real Madrid, but unless Ancelotti falls in love with him again, he has no market.”

      He added: “I think he could land in Manchester United or Everton.
      “This does not exclude that other English teams could enter the negotiation.
      “My personal prediction is that he will leave in June, but he is very happy here.”
      Lozano is nicknamed “Chucky” in his homeland.
      He earned that after hiding under beds and jumping out on his team-mates. More

      by

      POLICE are investigating after Angel Di Maria’s Turin mansion was broken into on Thursday.The ex-Manchester United flop, targeted by burglars while he was at Old Trafford and at former club Paris Saint-Germain, was said to have been relaxing with his family and a Juventus team-mate when the incident occurred.

      One of the three suspects was arrested after an alarm sounded and police raced to the scene after being contacted by a private security firm.
      Detectives are said to be hunting the other two culprits.
      Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport said the attempted break-in around 7.30pm on Thursday occurred in the same area of Turin where Cristiano Ronaldo and his family lived while he played for Juventus.
      Unconfirmed reports said neighbours had heard shots and a gun had been found near the scene.

      Di Maria, who provided a hat-trick of assists in his team’s 3-1 Champions League home win over Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday, has yet to comment on social media.
      The 34-year-old Argentinian put his £4.1million Prestbury mansion up for sale in March 2015 a month after trespassers tried to force entry to the luxury house while he had dinner inside with his wife Jorgelina Cardoso and daughters Mia and Pia.
      They relocated to a luxury hotel after the attempted break-in, which occurred less than a year after Di Maria joined United for a British transfer record fee of £59.7m.
      In March last year he was substituted during a PSG game after it emerged his home had been burgled with his family inside.

      Three men and a minor were subsequently arrested over the raid, in which the intruders reportedly got away with more than £400,000 in jewellery and watches from a safe.
      Although initial reports claimed Jorgelina and their two daughters had been kidnapped, it later emerged they were inside the house but had not discovered the break-in until afterwards and did not have any contact with the criminals.
      Dusan Vlahovic, who scored one of Juventus’ three goals on Wednesday, is the team-mate said to have been at Di Maria’s mansion when the attempted break-in occurred.
      The Argentinian, who spent a forgettable season at United, has now set up more goals in Champions League history than Lionel Messi and is just four behind Ronaldo, who boasts the most assists at 42. More
