Report – Inter Milan Not Planning To Raise Offer For Atalanta Talisman
This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInter1908. They report that the Nerazzurri will sign another forward, but that they're not going to go higher with their bid for Lookman.
Inter Milan's pursuit of Ademola Lookman has become the transfer soap opera of the summer.
The Nigerian international has done everything he can to push for the move. He has not been in training for over a week, having made a very public transfer request last weekend.
Meanwhile, Atalanta have rejected two bids from the Nerazzurri. Most recently an offer worth €45 million with add-ons.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Inter are not planning to go any higher with their offer.
The Nerazzurri feel that they have put as much on the table as they can.
Meanwhile, Atalanta clearly rejected Inter's most recent bid for Lookman. This was well over a week ago.
Therefore, Inter and Atalanta are currently at a stalemate.
According to Sky, however, even if Inter fail to sign Lookman, they will still sign a different forward this summer.
Particularly with Cristian Chivu looking to play with a 3-4-2-1 formation, the Nerazzurri feel that they need another attacking player to ensure adequate depth next season.

Chelsea players to donate portion of Club World Cup winnings to family of Diogo Jota and André Silva
Chelsea players have decided to donate a portion of their Club World Cup bonuses to the family of Diogo Jota and André Silva, according to The Athletic. Jota and Silva were killed in a July car crash in Spain. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The decision, made jointly between the players and the club, will see a $15.5 million fund distributed equally among the players with an equal payment made to Jota's family. According to The Athletic, "the overall value of each portion tallies more than $500k before it's subjected to currency conversion costs from US dollars into UK pound sterling, alongside relevant employer costs, taxes and social security costs." Pedro Neto, who was teammates with Jota with Portugal and Wolverhampton Wanderers, signed with Chelsea in 2024. Chelsea won the expanded FIFA tournament last month after beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The team's run in the event brought in an estimated $114.6 million to the club. Tributes to continue for Jota, Silva The soccer world began paying tribute to the brothers following their tragic deaths in early July. Moments of silence were held at matches, including the Women's EUROs and Club World Cup. Other tributes were seen at Oasis' first reunion concert in Wales and by players around the world performing Jota's video game celebration. Ahead of Friday's Premier League opener against Bournemouth, Liverpool have announced they will dedicate the cover of its match day program to Jota, who played 123 times for the club, and Silva. All players across the league will wear black arms bands this weekend and will take part in a moment of silence. Jota will also be immortalized with a statue at Anfield, Liverpool's home ground, and players will wear a "Forever 20" emblem on their jerseys this season in reference to his number. The No. 20 has also been permanently retired by the club, the first time that honor has been bestowed on a former player in club history. Jota's death led to a poignant moment of silence at the Club World Cup match between Fluminense and Al-Hilal last week, as Al-Hilal defenders Rúben Neves and João Cancelo — two of Jota's Portugal teammates — became emotional. The next day, Neves and Cancelo flew back to Portugal for Jota's funeral, in which Neves served as a pallbearer.

2025 Fantasy Football Tight End Preview: The Big 3, and everyone else
At tight end in 2025, there's a clear dividing line. George Kittle, Brock Bowers and Trey McBride aren't just the top three on my board — they're in their own tier, a category reserved for players who project as the unquestioned No. 1 target earners of their offenses. People will debate which one should be ranked first, but the reality is they're all true TE1s. If you land any of them, you're drafting the focal point of an NFL passing game. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] McBride led all tight ends with a 29.3% target share and topped the position in expected fantasy points per game (19.2), turning that into 111 receptions, 1,146 yards and 15.6 fantasy points per game — second-best at the position. Bowers commanded a position-leading 153 targets, finishing first in receptions (112), yards (1,194) and yards after the catch (596), while matching McBride's fantasy output at 15.5 points per game. His ability to create downfield separation (2.09 yards) and post a 27.8% dominator rating as a rookie is absurd. Kittle continues to be the model of efficiency — first in yards per route run (3.10), yards per target (11.8) and yards per reception (14.2) — and matched the others in production at 15.8 points per game. His eight touchdowns tied for second among tight ends, and his 2.33 yards per team pass attempt was also best at the position. These are your 'Big 3' — whichever one you land, you're drafting a player with a locked-in role, elite metrics and weekly difference-making upside. RayG's Top 24 Fantasy Tight Ends for 2025 George Kittle Brock Bowers Trey McBride Travis Kelce TJ Hockenson Mark Andrews Sam LaPorta Evan Engram Tucker Kraft David Njoku Tyler Warren Dallas Goedert Jake Ferguson Dalton Kincaid Zach Ertz Hunter Henry Jonnu Smith Brenton Strange Kyle Pitts Sr. Colston Loveland Mike Gesicki Dalton Schultz Ja'Tavion Sanders Mason Taylor Preferred Draft Strategy My plan at tight end is simple — I'm chasing elite outcomes. The players whose offenses run through them. The guys who can give you 20 points in any given week and finish as the WR1 in their own offense. If I get Kittle, Bowers or McBride, I'm locking them in as my starter every week, only sitting them for their bye. If I don't land one of those top options, I pivot to cost-conscious plays with paths to volume. In that middle TE8–TE16 range, I'll take small bites but rarely go heavy-exposure. At that point, I'd rather throw late darts on players who can massively outperform ADP and give me a streaming edge. [Subscribe to Yahoo Fantasy Plus and unlock Instant Mock Drafts today] 3 Tight Ends I'm Targeting at Cost Tyler Warren, Colts – Rookie tight ends rarely deliver right away (Bowers and LaPorta bucked that trend), but Warren steps into a clear role in a shallow target tree. Indianapolis will play conservatively, and Warren's athleticism plus early opportunity make him worth the shot at his price. Hunter Henry, Patriots – While the focus in New England is on Drake Maye's young wide receivers, Henry remains the constant. He ranked top 10 in air yards share (19.2%), red-zone targets (18) and expected fantasy points per game (12.2). At cost, he's one of the few tight ends outside the elite tier who can realistically lead his team in touchdowns. Ja'Tavion Sanders, Panthers – Bryce Young needs middle-of-the-field weapons, and Sanders' second-year jump could be real. Practically free, with room to grow into a key target-earner. Sleepers to Watch Elijah Arroyo, Seahawks – Seattle's rookie from Miami is one of the best downfield weapons in the 2025 tight end class. Right now, his path to fantasy relevance may only require beating out AJ Barner for the starting job. In an offense with Cooper Kupp underneath and Jaxon Smith-Njigba stretching the field across multiple formations, Arroyo could carve out chunk plays as soon as Year 1. Tyler Conklin, Chargers – Conklin isn't going to break fantasy scoring records, but in deep formats he's a free square for a steady floor. The Chargers will be without LT Rashawn Slater, meaning quick throws to safety valves like Conklin could be a bigger part of Justin Herbert's plan. With Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey commanding coverage, Conklin should see favorable 1-on-1s — a solid waiver-wire TE who won't give you a zero. Zach Ertz, Commanders – A 34-year-old veteran with little dynasty appeal but sneaky 2025 value. With Terry McLaurin's status in Washington up in the air, Ertz steps in as Jayden Daniels' likely security blanket. His ability to find soft spots in coverage makes him a high-floor streaming option who could easily outproduce ADP. 1 Fade at Cost Sam LaPorta, Lions – I love the talent, but he's coming off the board as TE4 in most drafts — three spots ahead of my ranking. We don't know what Detroit's offense will look like under new leadership, and paying elite capital for a player in a changing system is a bet I'm not willing to make right now. Final Word If you're going to spend up, spend for the ceiling. The safest path is securing one of the top three and walking away from the position until bye week. If you miss, attack the late rounds with upside swings — because the gap between TE12 and TE24 isn't as wide as most think.
