AC Milan are one of the clubs in the running for Zion Suzuki of Parma, though they have not yet settled on him as Mike Maignan's replacement. Maignan's current deal less than a year left, which means that as things stand he will be departing on a free transfer at the end of the season. It seems as though talks over a renewal have not gone positively, and thus Milan need to plan for life with a new number one between the sticls.

Starting with the hosts, while Cremonese might have only made their iconic Serie A return this season, the top-flight newcomers have enjoyed a remarkable start to proceedings. Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across Italy's elite this year, Davide Nicola's men find the mood in their camp at a famous high. In fact, the Lombardy-based outfit open this weekend's fixtures sat in bronze medal position and they will be confident of laying down another early marker here.

Parma bids farewell to Cristian Chivu, thanking him for leading the team to safety amid a complex season. His contributions were pivotal during his brief tenure.
