Rayan attracting Milan interest after Vasco da Gama exploits
The Rossoneri are transforming their attack this summer to suit the ideas of new coach Max Allegri, but the process is not over yet.
Even if Victor Boniface arrives from Bayer Leverkusen on loan with option to buy for €30-32m, as seems practically certain, then they are also looking at other candidates.
Rayan potential reinforcement for Milan

Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio claims Milan are keeping a close eye on 19-year-old Vasco da Gama sensation Rayan.
The teenager can play on the right, left, or as a centre-forward in a trident attack.
A Brazil Under-20 talent with two goals in 10 caps, his contract with Vasco da Gama only runs to December 2026.
The report makes clear that there are no firm negotiations yet, but rather the Rossoneri are keeping an eye on him, ready to swoop in case Chukwueze leaves.
They already parted with Noah Okafor, who completes his €21m including add-ons move to Leeds United this week.

Inter Milan & Italy Star Declares ‘When You Lose There Are Two Roads Ahead Of You' – Praises New Coach Chivu + Summer Signings
Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni believes that 'when you lose there are two roads ahead of you' heading into the new season. The Italian international gave his thought to Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, ahead of the start of the new season. He also praised coach Cristian Chivu and the new summer signings. Inter Milan endured a miserable end to last season. During April, the Nerazzurri were in the running for the Serie A title, the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League. However, Inter bombed out of the Coppa in a 3-0 loss against city rivals AC Milan. Following this, they surrendered their advantage in the Serie A table to Napoli. Inter lost out on the title to Napoli on the final day of the season. They lost by a single point, having squandered their final opportunity to regain top spot in a 2-2 draw against Lazio. Then, Inter's feel-good Champions League knockout run came to an absolutely screeching halt in the final. They lost to Paris Saint-Germain, by a record-breaking 5-0 margin. And then as if all that wasn't enough, Inter also went out of the Club World Cup at the round of sixteen stage against Fluminense. Inter Defender Alessandro Bastoni: 'When You Lose There Are Two Roads Ahead Of You' BERGAMO, ITALY – MARCH 16: Alessandro Bastoni of FC Internazionale looks on during the Serie A match between Atalanta BC and FC Internazionale at Gewiss Stadium on March 16, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni gave his thoughts ahead of the upcoming season. 'We've never lacked hunger,' he said. 'When you lose, there are two roads ahead of you,' the 26-year-old continued. 'Either you start again, or you give up.' 'We've chosen to start again. And to embrace this project more than ever.' 'We have the desire to bring these colours back to the top,' Bastoni declared. As far as Cristian Chivu replacing Simone Inzaghi at the helm, the Italian international commented that 'with a change in coach, certain habits also change.' Bastoni admitted that 'the training methods are much tougher.' 'He focuses a lot on intensity,' said the Inter defender. 'The work with the ball is much more vertical. He wants to get it to the forwards right away.' 'We still have a few days to get used to his philosophy,' Bastoni said. 'But on a human level, he's been a great surprise.' 'We have no doubt that he'll do well.' Then, Bastoni also declared that 'the new signings all have top quality.' 'They'll definitely give us a big boost.' 'We need fresh blood in this group that's been here for 5-7 years,' Bastoni said. 'Beyond the technical side of things, where obviously they're good – otherwise they wouldn't have come to Inter – what we need is a lot of enthusiasm.'

Juventus Unwilling to Meet PSG's €70M Price for Tottenham, Newcastle-linked Forward
Randal Kolo Muani's future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: his time at PSG is drawing to a close. The French forward impressed during his loan at Juventus last season, recording 10 goal contributions in just 19 appearances across all competitions. With the transfer window now open, no agreement has yet been reached between Juventus and PSG, leaving Kolo Muani's next destination undecided. Several Premier League clubs are reportedly monitoring the situation closely. Earlier this month, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano noted that Juventus remain confident they can secure Kolo Muani on a permanent deal. So far, the forward has only engaged in discussions with the Italian side, with no progress reported from Newcastle United or Tottenham. Juventus and PSG are still at oddsCorriere dello Sport reports that PSG are asking €70 million for Randal Kolo Muani, while Juventus hope to finalize a deal closer to €45 million. PSG's aim is to avoid a loss, having originally invested €57 million in the forward. The news follows journalist Alfredo Pedullà's report that PSG have increased their asking price, but Juventus remain determined to close the deal. Meanwhile, Nicolas Jackson and Loïs Openda have also emerged as potential alternatives as the summer transfer window enters its final days.
