Enzo Raiola Confirms Inter Milan Interest In Paris Saint-Germain Superstar Goalkeeper But Insists 'There Are No Talks'
Enzo Raiola opened up on continuous talks linking Paris Saint-Germain star Gianluigi Donnarumma with a shock move to Inter Milan.
Speaking to FCInterNews, Raiola confirmed Inter's interest in the former AC Milan goalkeeper.

However, he also confirmed there's no ongoing discussion between the parties.
Gianluigi Donnarumma left San Siro to join Les Parisiens as a free agent in 2021 after running down his contract at Milan.
Four years later, the 26-year-old won a maiden Champions League title.
Indeed, he was between the sticks as PSG romped Inter 5-0 in the Munich showpiece last weekend.
Interestingly, the Nerazzurri could be the Italy captain's next club if recent rumors are anything to go by.
Donnarumma's deal at the Parc des Princes runs out next summer, and he has yet to put pen to paper on a new contract.
Meanwhile, Inter are in the market for a new goalkeeper as Yann Sommer set one foot in retirement.

Therefore, this could be a perfect match despite the star stopper's past.

'During the celebration, we also had some talks with the PSG management,' Raiola started. 'We agreed to revisit things soon, without any rush. That's fine by us.
'Gigio, actually, the day before the match, went into Inter's locker room to greet his national teammates,' he added. 'And they appreciated the gesture of affection.'
When asked whether there's something going on behind the scenes amid intense rumors, he replied: 'No, just compliments.'

Then, he discussed Simone Inzaghi's sudden exit.
'I don't think it was something that just came up overnight. In my opinion, there was something already going on.
'Of course, they had to prepare for the Champions League final, but I don't believe the future was decided the day after.
'They already had the idea that the coach would leave, and they took precautions.
'There aren't that many experienced coaches available right now, but they have their priorities, and I think they'll make the right choices soon.
'After all, who wouldn't want to coach Inter? Anyone would love to coach that team and build something significant.'

Italy Player Ratings vs Norway: Disjointed Azzurri Humiliated in Oslo
Italy could not have imagined a worse way to commence their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign as Norway thrashed them 3-0 in Oslo. A one-sided first half at the Ullevaal Stadium saw the rising Scandinavian superpower set the tone for their first win over the Italians since 2000. Due to their UEFA Nations League duties, Italy didn't feature in World Cup qualifiers in March. After failing to secure a berth at the most prestigious international tournament in the last two editions, the pressure was on Gli Azzurri to start on the front foot. Advertisement However, it was quite the opposite. Buoyed by a brace of multi-goal margin wins over Moldova and Israel, Norway came flying out of the traps. Indeed, Alexander Sorloth put Stale Solbakken's side in front after only 14 minutes. Norway doubled their lead 20 minutes later through Antonio Nusa, while Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland sealed Italy's fate on the brink of halftime. A 3-0 deficit proved unattainable for Italy, whose underwhelming winless streak in all competitions now stands at four matches. Without further ado, let's look at our Italy player ratings. Italy (3-5-1-1) Gianluigi Donnarumma – 3/10 Merely a shadow of the best Champions League goalkeeper for 2024/25, the Italy captain conceded from three out of Norway's four shots on target. It's fair to say that his defenders also let him down. Advertisement Alessandro Bastoni – 3/10 The Inter Milan star's significant dip in form came to the fore in Oslo as he struggled to cope with Haaland's runs behind the lines and Sorloth's aerial strength. Diego Coppola – 6/10 Spalletti's gamble didn't pay off, yet Coppola was arguably Italy's best-performing defender tonight. However, a lack of understanding with his defensive colleagues was evident. Giovanni Di Lorenzo – 3/10 Still hungover after Napoli's Scudetto win, the Partenopei right-back had an awful evening. Deployed as a right center-half, Di Lorenzo was among the worst on the pitch. Destiny Udogie – 4/10 Though Haaland gave him a slip for the third goal, the Tottenham Hotspur left-back had some bright moments, especially in the opposition's half. Not nearly enough, though! Advertisement Sandro Tonali – 5/10 He was supposed to be Italy's driving force in the midfielder, but the Newcastle United talisman saw very few things go his way. His set-piece delivers often led to nothing. Nicolo Rovella – 4/10 Despite leaving his heart and soul on the pitch, his defensive contribution wasn't significant enough to disguise his disheartening performance in the build-up play. Nicolo Barella – 5/10 Seemingly out of steam after Inter's long season, the diminutive midfielder showed flashes of class but lacked his usual sharpness and drive. Davide Zappacosta – 4/10 Atalanta's wingback was largely ineffective on both ends of the pitch. He offered little going forward, rarely troubling the opposition with his crosses and was too often caught out of position defensively Advertisement Giacomo Raspadori – 2/10 A near-anonymous showing from the Scudetto winner! His passing was occasionally sloppy, and he struggled to impose himself in key moments. Mateo Retegui – 3/10 Cut off from the rest of the pack, Serie A's top goalscorer was an idle threat. He was never in a position to put Orjan Nyland to the test and would want to forget this fixture in a hurry.

Caoimhin Kelleher ‘buzzing' as he completes £18m move to Brentford from Liverpool
Goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher has left Liverpool to join Brentford in a £18m deal. It brings to an end a nine-year stay at the club, with Liverpool receiving an initial £12.5m for Kelleher and add-ons taking the overall fee to £18m. Advertisement The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Bees, with the club holding an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months. Kelleher is expected to take over as Brentford's first choice goalkeeper following the departure of Dutch international Mark Flekken, who has joined Bayer Leverkusen for around £11m. 'I'm buzzing, I'm really happy to be here,' said the 26-year-old. 'I don't think it was very difficult for me to leave [Liverpool]. I felt for my own career that the time was right for me to go, to be a number one and to play every week. 'I heard of some interest a number of weeks ago. Once I knew Brentford was in for me, it was definitely one I was really excited about and wanted to do as quickly as possible.' Advertisement The Irishman joined Liverpool from Ringmahon Rangers in 2015, leaves the Merseyside club having made 67 senior appearances, including 25 in the Premier League. A dependable deputy to Alisson Becker, he earned a reputation as a composed shot-stopper and was particularly instrumental in Liverpool's domestic cup runs where he memorably scored a penalty in the shootout that decided the 2022 Carabao Cup final. Over the course of his Liverpool career, Kelleher won an impressive array of silverware including two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FA Cup, two League Cups, and the UEFA Super Cup. He kept 24 clean sheets during his time with the Reds and featured in more than 40 cup matches. Despite his success, Kelleher has been open about his ambition to play regular first-team football. Speaking last month, he said: 'I think I've said it before as well that I feel like I'm a number one and I feel like I'm good enough to play week in, week out. That's what I'm looking to do.' Advertisement Kelleher's arrival signals a fresh start and a chance for the Irishman to establish himself as a first-choice goalkeeper in the Premier League. This season, Kelleher featured in 20 matches for Liverpool, ten of which came in the Premier League. However, his path to more minutes became even more complicated with Liverpool set to welcome Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili in July. The Georgian international is expected to compete with Alisson for the No. 1 spot following a £29m transfer agreed last summer. His former club Ringmahon Rangers are also set to benefit from the transfer thanks to a 20% sell-on clause included in his original move to Liverpool, netting them a substantial seven figure sum. Kelleher becomes the second major departure from Liverpool this summer, following former vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold's £10m move to Real Madrid.

Report – Inter Milan Make Manchester United & Parma Strikers Top Targets For Summer Transfer Window
Joshua Zirkzee and Yoan-Ange Bonny have emerged as the top targets for Inter Milan ahead of the summer transfer window. Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the two strikers have climbed to the top of Beppe Marotta's shortlist. Advertisement Inter had tried to lure Joshua Zirkzee to San Siro before Manchester United beat them to the punch last summer. However, the Dutchman's first season at Old Trafford has been a disaster, and he could soon return to Serie A. Meanwhile, Yoan-Ange Bonny has enjoyed an impressive maiden season in Italy's top flight with Parma. The Frenchman has been one of the revelations this term, attracting interest from numerous clubs in the country. Inter Milan Eager to Sign Joshua Zirkzee & Yoan-Ange Bonny PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 15: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio looks on during the Serie A match between Parma and Verona at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 15, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Both players fit Inter's new transfer policy. Indeed, they're both young, boast ample room for improvement, and would likely offer a decent resale value. Advertisement However, they would unlikely be the club's only signings. Bonny's clubmate, Giovanni Leoni, is also on Inter's shopping list, especially now that Yann Bisseck may leave. Furthermore, the Serie A title hopefuls keep close tabs on Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup. After Piotr Zielinski struggled in his first season at San Siro, Inter could try to land the Norwegian this summer.
