Seven Major Updates in One Night! Grosso Becomes First Manager Sacked, Romano's Long-Time Transfer Nemesis Moves to Brazil

The first manager to be dismissed among the top five European leagues in the new season has officially emerged: 48-year-old Fiorentina head coach Grosso has become the first first-team manager to leave his post this season. The direct reason for his dismissal was Fiorentina's three consecutive defeats in the opening three Serie A matches, with extremely poor attacking and defensive performances — they scored only one goal in total while conceding nine, producing one of the worst league starts in the club's history. Fiorentina invested around €150 million in new signings and reinforcements this summer, but the results fell far short of expectations before the season. After several rounds of consideration, the management officially announced Grosso's departure.

In addition, Fiorentina's 19-year-old winger Mastantuono, who was loaned from Real Madrid this summer, has also failed to meet expectations. After being sent out on loan, he has made four appearances with statistics of zero goals and zero assists, a record that has disappointed both Real Madrid and Fiorentina.

According to Spanish team reporter sources: Rodri, who recently joined Barcelona's squad, delivered an impressive performance in his first start. His new midfield partnership with Pedri directly dispelled previous doubts that their technical profiles were incompatible and that they could not play together at the same time. The club is now asking fans for ideas to create a suitable and appealing nickname for this highly coordinated midfield duo.

According to reports from Diario Sport: Liverpool's management has been very satisfied after watching Araujo's performances this season and believes the club made the right choice with this signing. If Araujo can maintain his current form, Liverpool paying the agreed €55 million purchase fee to permanently keep him after the season ends is considered fully feasible. The club strongly believes Araujo can become a key figure in the Reds' defense.

Le Parisien reported that Paris Saint-Germain plans to make a move in the January winter transfer window to sign 18-year-old Barcelona forward Hamza. PSG head coach Enrique particularly appreciates the talented youngster, and Hamza's current contract reportedly contains a release clause of only €15 million. Paris has the financial ability to offer wages far above his current terms to complete the signing.

An official announcement has confirmed that 39-year-old Leicester City legendary forward Vardy has decided to continue his career by joining Burnley as a free agent. The two sides have signed a one-year contract until the end of this season, and he will begin a new chapter of his career in English football.

Transfer reporter Romano released his trademark "Here We Go" confirmation: his familiar figure Ziyech will join Brazilian club Botafogo as a free agent on a free transfer, with the new contract running until December 2028. After the transfer news emerged, fans' first discussion was not about Ziyech's current form, but instead they joked about and recalled several memorable occasions when transfer reports involving Ziyech and Romano had failed in the past. This became one of the most talked-about aspects of the transfer news.
