Afternoon Espressino 10/7/15: Ranocchia linked to Newcastle

Remember those rumors about the rift between Jovetic and Inter over this recent injury-slash-national-team-callup business? JoJo says that it's not true at all, and that there is no "rift" between himself and the medical staff or Mancini. [SempreInter]

Jovetic is currently training apart from the rest of his national side, and his recovery is being evaluated daily. And, in fact, Inter doctor Piero Volpi said yesterday that Jovetic is well and that the club is calm. [Football Italia]

Walter Mazzarri has taken himself out of contention to become to new boss for Premier League side Sunderland, mostly due to concerns that the Black Cats may soon be relegated.

And, as for your daily January transfer window rumor: English side Newcastle United are the most recent club to be linked to ex-Inter captain Andrea Ranocchia. Apparently, both Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are both still interested in the defender as well. [Gazzetta World]
