United are one of several Premier League clubs weighing up whether to meet Bologna’s €25m (£21.7m) valuation for Jhon Lucumi, according to Corriere di Bologna.

Both Tau Altopascio and Progresso will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Serie D - Girone E. The hosts have done enough without setting the world alight, LWL over their last five and a 50% win rate to their name. Progresso have blown hot and cold, LLW across their last five and a season win rate of 25%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Tau Altopascio average 1.5 per game to Progresso's 0.75, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Inter want to sign Curtis Jones, but as things stand their valuation falls well short of Liverpool's, especially in a market when other Premier League proven players in his position have moved for such big fees.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Tau Altopascio favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Progresso are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. Andoni Iraola, like Luis Enrique, is a coach who demands that his players press high.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Newcastle United have started searching for a new midfielder as Bruno Guimarães moves closer to joining Arsenal.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 2-2 draw feels like a fitting result. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. Important qualities given that Bournemouth will expect him to be proactive.
