Report – Inter Milan Linked Chelsea Star's Situation Up In The Air In The Coming Days
This according to French outlet RMC Sport, via FCInterNews.
Inter Milan have been keeping tabs on the situation of Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku.
The Nerazzurri have been aware of the opportunity to sign the 27-year-old former RB Leipzig forward for some time. He is a player Chelsea are desperate to sell this summer.
Nkunku would cost a fee of around €40 million. That is certainly attainable for Inter. After all, it is what they initially bid for Ademola Lookman.

French outlet RMC Sport report that Nkunku's situation at Stamford Bridge is 'up in the air' at the moment.
And this will probably continue to be the case for the next few days.
Right now, Nkunku is not in training. This is due to a muscle problem, however, rather than due to any transfer prospects.
RMC report that in the next week or so, Chelsea and Nkunku will look to sort out the Frenchman's future.

Derrick White on Las Vegas Summer League, Olympics with his Boston Celtics teammates
The second episode of Boston Celtics point guard Derrick White is out. In the newest episode of the "White Noise" podcast, the University of Colorado - Boulder alum and his cohost Welsh took a deep dive into what White did last summer at the 2024 Paris Olympics on his way to winning a gold medal with the US National Team (and how he missed his own epic birthday bash in Baja California to do it). They also touch on Las Vegas Summer League and what it is like to play in it vs. attend as an established player or fan in the bleachers, meeting Deion Sanders at a Buffaloes game, and even a premature welcome for now-traded forward Georges Niang to the Celtics. They even get into the fact that White still has never gotten a technical foul in the NBA, and why at least one of his teammates in Boston won't fully respect him until he does. Check it out below!

Son Heung-min says LAFC 'changed my heart' after MLS unveiling
Son Heung-min admitted that LAFC was initially 'not my first choice' as he sought a new club earlier this year, but said Wednesday that LAFC general manager John Thorrington 'changed my mind' on their very first phone call after Son's 10th and final season with Tottenham concluded this spring. 'He changed my heart, he changed my brain,' Son said at an introductory news conference in Los Angeles. 'He showed me the destination where I should be.' Advertisement And, after saying he was 'more than happy' to be here, Son promised: 'I'm here to win … I will perform, and I will definitely show you something exciting. And we definitely will have success.' Son arrived in Southern California on Tuesday to finalize a deal that now stands as the most expensive inbound transfer in MLS history. He took in LAFC's Leagues Cup game against Tigres, a 2-1 win on Tuesday night, from a BMO Stadium suite. He received a warm and raucous reception from supporters when he was shown on stadium video boards and welcomed as an 'LAFC forward.' He reciprocated with applause, and said a day later: 'I just wanted to run onto the pitch and show my performance.' Wednesday, though, was his official unveiling. A couple hours after Tottenham and LAFC both announced the deal, his likeness beamed off LAFC HQ outside the stadium, alongside a welcome message in three languages: Korean, English and Spanish. Inside the stadium's Field Club, he was welcomed to a stage by chanting supporters, The 3252. He sat alongside Thorrington and LAFC managing owner Bennett Rosenthal, in front of media and various 'special guests,' including Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, who called the signing 'a moment that will be remembered in the city for generations to come' and 'officially' declared Son 'an Angeleno.' More than 20 minutes into the event, when Son finally got a chance to speak, he called the occasion a 'dream come true.' 'LA,' he said, 'what a city.' One of the attractions was the estimated 320,000 Koreans who live in greater Los Angeles. Son said he was 'so, so excited seeing all the Korean fans outside.' There were also many thousands watching from afar, including on YouTube, where Korean comments peppered the online chat seemingly every second. Many of the introductions and remarks onstage were translated into Korean by an interpreter. Advertisement When asked why he signed with LAFC — on a deal through 2027, with options for 2028 and the first half of 2029, according to the club — Son said through the interpreter that there were 'many reasons,' and the strength of the local Korean community was one of them. 'As a Korean, to know that Koreatown here in Los Angeles has so many Koreans, here in this country, I'm very proud to be a part of the club and the city,' he said through the interpreter. 'And I'll make them proud with my performance.' Son had previously announced his departure from Tottenham. At a news conference last weekend in Korea, ahead of Tottenham's preseason game in Seoul, he called it 'the most difficult decision I have made in my career.' The 'main reason' for it, he explained, 'is that I have achieved everything I can at Tottenham. I need a new environment for a fresh challenge.' At the time, he did not say where he'd find that fresh challenge. Wednesday was his first chance to explain why he picked LAFC (over interest from Saudi Arabia, and perhaps elsewhere). He said that Hugo Lloris, his former teammate and captain for nine seasons at Tottenham, helped recruit him. 'Hugo was helping and advising about how great Los Angeles is,' Son said. But he clarified that he is not just here to enjoy the city. 'Obviously I'm here to perform,' Son said. 'But also I want to give some advice to the young players for improvement.' He is 33 years old, and struggled over the latter half of the 2024-25 season. 'I think we can say I'm old,' he said with a hint of a smile. 'But I still have good physicality, good legs, and still I have good quality.' He later added in Korean, via an interpreter: 'My fitness is great, as I just went through preseason. I came here to play soccer, and I'm ready to play. But there's some preparation work to be done, and I'll work with the coaching staff and others to get on the pitch as soon as possible. Advertisement 'Just because I had a successful career in Europe, doesn't mean I will do here. So, I want to see this as a new challenge, and do my best. All that I've received, I want to give back to the ownership and the team and the club, and do the best I can, and leave when the time comes as a legend of the club.' Son, upon receipt of his P-1 visa, should be eligible to debut this Saturday against the Chicago Fire (8:30 p.m. ET, Apple MLS Season Pass). With LAFC's next three games on the road, his home debut won't come until September at the earliest — either Sept. 1 vs. San Diego FC or Sept. 21 vs. Real Salt Lake. LAFC currently sits in sixth place in the Western Conference, 10 points behind San Diego, but with two or three games in hand on each of the five teams above it. It is in position to qualify for the playoffs, and perhaps to contend for MLS Cup — which would be the fifth trophy in the club's eight-year history.
