Enrico Mentana and his future on TV: "I've made my decisions."

Enrico Mentana remains unclear about his future. The director of TG La7 spoke about his contract and rumors of a departure from Urbano Cairo 's company in an interview with Il Foglio , but did not announce an official decision.

His statements fueled speculation, but no destination has been confirmed.

What Mentana said

Interviewed by Carmelo Caruso for Il Foglio , Mentana explained that he had already made a choice: “I've made my decisions, I'll tell them when the time is right .” He then added a concrete fact: “My contract with La7 expires at the end of the year . ”

In the interview he also said that he had spoken with the RAI executives and that he was removing the personal material from the room.

The contract with La7

The key issue is the expiration date: the agreement with La7 ends at the end of 2026. This has led to speculation about what will happen afterward, but it remains unclear until further notice.

Mentana has been hosting TG La7 since 2010 and is one of the most recognizable faces in Italian television news.

The hypotheses: Rai and Mediaset

When asked about a possible move to Mediaset , the reported response was: “Mediaset? Why not?” The journalist then mentioned the meeting with Mauro Crippa , the company's Director of Information.

There are also rumors of a return to RAI , following the meeting with management mentioned in the same interview. At the moment, however, neither option has been made official.

What we know and what we don't know

Of course, his contract expires at the end of the year, and a decision, according to him, has already been made. What's not certain is where he'll go and in what role. Until an announcement is made, the details remain speculative.
