Should Lennon Miller's next step be a move to continent to follow in the footsteps of some his new Scotland team-mates?
Fresh from winning PFA Scotland's young player of the year award, speculation continues surround the 18-year-old's future.
With just over a year remaining on the midfielder's Motherwell contract, the club will have a big decision to make if offers come their way this summer.

So, too, will Miller. Is it time for the Lanarkshire side to cash in and for the teenager to move on?
If so, would taking inspiration from the likes of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour and Lewis Ferguson be beneficial?
McTominay and Gilmour are excelling at title-chasing Napoli since joining the Serie A side last summer, while Ferguson continues to thrive at Bologna.
And A View From The Terrace presenter Craig Telfer sees no reason why "phenomenal" Miller can't emulate the Scotland trio's success in Italy.
"He seems to be like the complete midfielder," Telfer said on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast. "And I think if you're a Motherwell supporter, you're just enjoying him while you can.

"Because there's no doubt about it. If it's not this summer, if it's not in January, he'll be playing his football elsewhere.
"I really hope that if he does move on, he goes to the continent, he goes to somewhere like Italy. We're seeing the likes of McTominay and Gilmour thriving at Napoli.
"I really think Miller's got all the tools to make it out there as well."

Alexander Isak, Liverpool Drama See Newcastle Revisit Interest in PSG's 19 Goal Scorer
Gonçalo Ramos' future at PSG has been uncertain all summer, sparking plenty of transfer speculation around the Portuguese striker. While recent signs suggest he could remain in Paris, one Premier League club is still pushing to land him. Ramos finished the 2024-25 season with 19 goals and six assists in 46 appearances. Whether that's enough to lock down a regular starting spot at PSG remains unclear, but the club is reportedly keen to keep him amid the speculation. Earlier this month, CaughtOffside reported that Ramos' lack of minutes at PSG has caught the attention of several Premier League and Serie A clubs looking to add a proven goal scorer. According to the report, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Liverpool are all weighing potential summer moves. Liverpool are said to be eyeing Ramos as a long-term addition, while Manchester United reportedly see him as a backup option if other striker targets don't work out. For now, the Reds are prioritizing Newcastle's Alexander Isak, but if that chase falls through, Ramos could quickly move up their list. Newcastle United rekindles interest in PSG standoutAmid the rumors linking Ramos away from PSG, the Daily Mail's Craig Hope reports that Ramos is back on the agenda for the Magpies, as they continue their search for strikers amid Isak's attempt to force a move to Liverpool. Recently, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano weighed in on Ramos being Plan B for Newcastle United if the pursuit of Benjamin Sesko doesn't go their way. 'As of now, Sesko has not decided yet,' Romano wrote in GIVE ME SPORT's newsletter. 'Newcastle are waiting. Ramos is appreciated but PSG want to keep him, it'd take a huge proposal to try change things.'

El Shaarawy: ‘Roma in good hands with Gasperini and Ranieri'
Stephan El Shaarawy assures Roma are 'in good hands' with Gian Piero Gasperini supported by Claudio Ranieri. 'Champions League qualification is certainly one of our priorities.' The Giallorossi had a chaotic campaign last term with three different coaches, but after Daniele De Rossi and Ivan Juric were fired, Ranieri came out of retirement to provide stability. Now the veteran has a new role at the Stadio Olimpico as director, helping Gasperini to settle in after nine years with Atalanta. El Shaarawy no stranger to Gasperini's tactics Stephan El Shaarawy Roma (Photo by) 'Gasperini is the first coach I worked with and he gave me my Serie A debut with Genoa, so I already know him well,' explained El Shaarawy on Sky Sport Italia. 'He is a real teacher, direct both on and off the field, capable of getting the best out of his players. He demands a lot of intensity, and without doubt it's tough training with him, but the new players all got to know each other and we have some very positive sensations. With Gasperini and Ranieri, we're in good hands.' WALSALL, ENGLAND – AUGUST 06: Gian Piero Gasperini, Head Coach of AS Roma, looks on prior to the pre-season friendly match between Aston Villa and AS Roma at Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium on August 06, 2025 in Walsall, England. (Photo by) Gasperini inevitably brings a new style of football with him and one that Roma are eager to embrace. 'It is much more vertical, with intensity and dynamism. We have to continually exchange places and positions. He wants a very attacking pressing game and always the idea is to move the ball forward,' continued El Shaarawy. 'That means a lot of push from us wingers, so we are working hard to give him what he wants. The objective for everyone is to do better than last season.' Seeing as Roma finished fifth last term, and for some of the final game of the season they had been in fourth ahead of Juventus, that makes their target very obvious. 'Champions League qualification is certainly one of our priorities. We missed out by a single point last time and we must try to get there, just like we also want to do better in Europe compared to last season. We've got a lot of enthusiasm from everyone eager to achieve this target,' concluded El Shaarawy.

Report – Roma Slam The Door On Inter Milan Offer For France International
Roma have reportedly firmly rejected Inter Milan's offer for midfielder Manu Kone. This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, via FCInterNews. Yesterday, news emerged that Inter Milan are interested in Roma midfielder Manu Kone. The Frenchman has come into the Nerazzurri's sights as a reinforcement in holding midfield. Reports indicate that Inter have been ready to put a bid of around €45 million on the table. Roma Reject Inter Offer For Manu Kone EMPOLI, ITALY – MARCH 9: Manu Kone' of AS Roma in action during the Serie A match between Empoli and AS Roma at Stadio Carlo Castellani on March 9, 2025 in Empoli, Italy. (Photo by) According to Gianluca Di Marzio, however, Roma have firmly rejected Inter's offer. The Giallorossi have taken some time to consider the bid. And they have decided that they do not want to sell Kone this summer. Therefore, Inter will not pursue the matter any further, Di Marzio anticipates. The Nerazzurri had looked at Kone as a possible opportunity if they could sign the 24-year-old for a certain price. However, they are not going to break the bank and continue bidding. Accordingly, Inter will look to reconsider their plans over the last couple weeks of the summer transfer window, reports Di Marzio.
