Report – Albania EURO 2024 Star Puts Inter Milan In Difficult Position Heading Into Transfer Window Finale
According to La Repubblica via FCInterNews, his unwillingness to join a new club could compromise Inter's transfer plans.
Real Betis made a valiant attempt to sign Kristjan Asllani earlier this summer.
Indeed, Inter accepted their €15 million bid for the 23-year-old, only for the player to turn down a move.
Furthermore, the Albanian midfield insists on staying in Serie A.
Kristjan Asllani Puts Inter Milan in Tough Spot

After a failed transfer to La Liga, Asllani looks set to stay at San Siro despite Inter's hope of selling him to the highest bidder.
However, Inter's €18 million asking price has made Asllani's switch to another Serie A club nearly impossible.
Indeed, Bologna and Fiorentina have already deemed Nerazzurri's demands excessive.
Therefore, Inter are at risk of failing to offload the ex-Empoli playmaker on their terms.

Three emerging Celtic transfer headlines as Ambrosino gets second chance and Hoops 'lead' chasing pack for Man City kid
Reported Celtic target Giuseppe Ambrosino is set to be handed another chance by Napoli. The Italy U21 star was linked with a move to the Hoops earlier this month after catching the eye on duty for his country at the European Championships in Slovakia. The striker spent the whole of last season on loan at Frosinone in Serie B and with just 12 months remaining on his contract, has an uncertain future with the Scudetto winners. READ MORE: Celtic see clearer Champions League play-off picture as five projected rivals revealed READ MORE: Jamie Vardy to Celtic transfer can't be ruled out amid 'box office' endorsement Ambrosino's chances of forcing his way into Antonio Conte's plans were plunged into further doubt when he was left out on a training camp trip to Dimaro in the north of Italy. But it's now being claimed that the 21-year-old is set to be given a lifeline at Napoli. According to Il Corriere del Mezzogiorno (via the forward will be included in the squad that travel to Castel di Sangro in the heart of the Apennine Mountains for another training camp ahead of the new season. Napoli kick off the defence of their Serie A crown with a trip to Sassuolo on August 23. Meanwhile, Celtic are now said to be leading the race to sign Manchester City youngster Jahmai Simpson-Pusey on loan. The champions' interest in the 19-year-old has emerged in recent days and the Manchester Evening News now report that Brendan Rodgers' side are confident of pipping clubs in England's second tier to bring the defender north of the border. Simpson-Pusey has made six first team appearances in total for Pep Guardiola's Etihad giants, including two outings in the Champions League. Another player who is reportedly Celtic's radar is Go Ahead Eagles' Danish winger Jakob Breum. The Hoops are alleged to have seen a bid of £1.5million knocked back by the Eredivisie club and their technical director Jan Willem van Dop has now gone public with details of the bid. Fellow Dutch outfit FC Twente are also very keen on the player. Speaking to Oosttribune, van Dop said: "Well, obviously that's something to talk about if the price is right. "And we didn't get out of that. What to me was the only positive of that was, that they (Twente) offered at least already above the official offer that was ever made by Celtic. 'Because that was one and a half million. So his thinking was higher. "I at least indicated that we did not go along with the bid that they made. And coincidentally this morning, obviously we still had the agent on the line who hopes that he will go that way. "And we are, I think, really not the hardest club, but it has to fit. And if we don't come out of it financially better, we also have that that right, I think, to then say, 'Well, then it's not going to happen.'"

Manchester City Are Keeping A Keen Eye On This Barcelona Midfielder: Should Pep Go For Him?
In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Manchester City are keeping a keen eye on Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez. It has been stated that the Mancunian club are eager to get a deal done for the Spanish talent this summer. Lopez's Impressive Run Of Form In Spanish Football Lopez had an impressive campaign at the Catalan club after he produced a run of decent displays for them in La Liga. The Spanish attacker found the back of the net eight times and earned ten assists in 46 matches for Barca last season in multiple competitions. The 22-year-old performed well to average 2.95 shots per 90 minutes in La Liga. He kept 36.6% of his attempts on target. Lopez was accurate when distributing the ball in the final third, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 81.8% in the Spanish top tier (stats via His current contract at the Nou Camp will expire in the summer of 2029. Therefore, Man City would have to make a big offer if they are serious about signing Lopez this off-season. BARCELONA, SPAIN – MAY 18: Fermin Lopez of FC Barcelona runs with the ball whilst under pressure from Sergi Cardona of Villarreal CF during the La Liga EA Sports match between FC Barcelona and Villarreal CF at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on May 18, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. (Photo by Florencia) Should Manchester City Boss Pep Guardiola Go For Lopez? Lopez is a solid tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He puts his foot through the ball when needed and is proficient at playing his way out from the back. The Spanish talent is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also fill in as a left-sided wide player or as a box-to-box midfielder if asked to do so. We can expect Lopez to add more energy and dynamism to Man City boss Pep Guardiola's attack. He has what it takes to compete for a regular first-team spot at the Etihad Stadium next season. At 22, Lopez has the potential to be a future star in European football. Therefore, it makes sense for the Mancunian giants to go for a player of his quality this summer. However, he might need some time to adjust to the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if Man City can devise a way to bring him on board.

Hansi Flick reacts to Manchester United interest in Barcelona star
Barcelona need to make sales to continue generating funds that will help them to return to La Liga's 1:1 rule by the end of the summer, although it has been difficult to move on the likes of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Andreas Christensen. Other players are noted as possible departees, with one of them being Fermin Lopez. The arrival of Marcus Rashford, which will see Raphinha used more centrally next season, means that Fermin is likely to see less action, given that he also has Dani Olmo ahead of him in the pecking order. This has led to suggestions that Barcelona could entertain offers for Fermin, with a minimum asking price of €70m having been set. And according to recent reports, Manchester United are prepared to pay this for the 22-year-old. Image via Josep Lago/AFP Hansi Flick puts his foot down amid Man United interest But despite this, it would be a surprise to see Fermin leave Barcelona this summer. As reported by MD, head coach Hansi Flick has made it clear that he wants the young midfielder to remain at the club. The report has also stated that Flick was made aware of previous reports of Fermin's possible departure, at which point he made it clear to the player himself that he wants him to stay. And it was during this meeting that the Man United target admitted that he has no plans nor desire to depart. Fermin has been very impressive since breaking into the Barcelona first team two summers ago, and given his age, he is one of several players that will be trusted to lead the squad for many years to come. It is no surprise that Flick wants him to stay, even if there is a chance that he does not play all too often during the upcoming 2025-26 season.
