Inter Milan are likely to be making big changes in defense this summer.
The Nerazzurri could certainly lose Francesco Acerbi this summer. The Gazzetta report that the veteran Italian international's future is very much in the balance.
Acerbi turns 38 next summer. Therefore, even though he has one year left to go on his contract with Inter, there is certainly no guarantee of his sticking around.
Meanwhile, Yann Bisseck is in the sights of clubs in the Premier League. The likes of Manchester United and West Ham United are reportedly interested in the 24-year-old.
Therefore, Inter will be listening to offers for Bisseck this summer.

And according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, one name above all has risen to the top of Inter's list.
The Nerazzurri have identified 18-year-old Parma defender Giovanni Leoni as their top target in defense.
The Nerazzurri had already tried to sign the Italian from Sampdoria last summer. However, Parma beat them to the punch.
Leoni enjoyed a stellar first season in Serie A last term.
And this has fully convinced Inter that, even though he is still only a teenager, Leoni has the maturity to play in their defense. Particularly after he proved he can play in a back three.
Therefore, the Gazzetta report, Leoni is the player Inter intend to move for as they look to fill vacancies in their backline.

Tottenham contact Brentford as they look to appoint Thomas Frank as new manager

Tottenham contact Brentford as they look to appoint Thomas Frank as new manager Tottenham Hotspur are close to appointing Brentford's Thomas Frank as their new head coach. According to The Athletic, the Lilywhites have made contact with Brentford for the 51-year-old, and hope to reach an agreement in the next 48 hours. Advertisement Frank is reportedly ready to succeed Ange Postecoglou, who was dismissed from his position on Friday after remaining two seasons in charge. The two clubs are said to have a healthy relationship and talks will centre on the cost of releasing the Danish boss as well as the backroom staff, which is expected to be around £10 million. Tottenham endured a disappointing 2024-25 Premier League campaign under Postecoglou, losing 22 of their 38 matches to finish 17th in the table. But the Australian boss secured them Champions League football for next season by leading them to Europa League success, beating Manchester United in the final in Bilbao. Advertisement That suggested that Postecoglou would continue as Spurs' manager, but the club chairman Daniel Levy made the brutal decision to sack him, which reportedly angered many of their players. Now Tottenham appear to be on the verge of signing Frank, who has done an excellent job at Brentford since becoming their head coach in 2018. He led the Bees to Premier League promotion in 2021 after beating Swansea City in the Championship play-off final. The West Londoners have since become an established side in the English top-flight under Frank, securing 13th, ninth, 16th and 10th-placed finishes. He has certainly overperformed at Brentford but doesn't have the experience of managing a top club like Tottenham, who will be playing in Champions League next season. Stats from Transfermarkt

An Ode to Natalie Portman's Rich Mom French Open Look

Do you ever look at someone and just think, Wow, they look rich? That was my immediate first though when I spotted Natalie Portman looking like the epitome of sophistication at the French Open this past weekend. The actor was among the many notable attendees who attended the tennis tournament finals at the Roland-Garros Complex in Paris. Others included Cooper Koch, Lily Collins and husband Charlie McDowell, and Pharrell Williams with wife Helen Lasichanh were among the attendees. But Portman took the cake with her posh look. Up top, she embraced tennis whites in a crisp white button-up with a sharp collar that she turned upwards for an extra ounce of preppiness. The Black Swan star tucked her shirt into a pretty bubblegum-pink poplin skirt with a built-in belt. The chic ensemble was only made better by Portman's accessories: square brown tortoiseshell sunglasses, and a straw hat from Christian Dior, adorned with a blue-and-white sash emblazoned with the fashion house's name. The men's singles final match took place on Sunday, June 8, on day 15 of the French Open. Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz bested Italian Jannik Sinner, marking his second straight French Open win. Meanwhile, a day prior, American Coco Gauff won the women's singles finals, where she played against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, from Belarus. With the win, Gauff claimed her second career grand slam singles title and became the first American to take home the French Open prize since Serena Williams did so in 2015.

Okeeheelee Park's $400,000 pump track for cyclists, skateboarders and scooters now open

Palm Beach County's first bicycle pump track is open for business. The pump track, a circuit of rollers and banked turns designed for bicycles, foot scooters and skateboards, is already seeing heavy use. Users generate momentum by 'pumping' or by up-and-down body movements. There is no need to pedal. The track opened on May 31 at Okeeheelee Park, on Forest Hill Boulevard near Greenacres, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and exhibition rides from both professional and amateur riders. The 10,000-square-foot facility offers a continuous-loop riding experience for people of all ages and skill levels. It can accommodate wheelchairs. Motorized vehicles are not permitted. The two-year-in-the-making track was made possible by a $400,000 donation from Margaret Blume and Palm Beach Pump Track, the nonprofit that oversaw its construction. The county Parks Department now operates it. Velosolutions, the Swiss-based company that built the track, defines a pump track as a 'High Performance Playground for Everything with Wheels.' The asphalt-surface pump track, open from sunrise to sunset, lies behind the dog park at Okeeheelee Park. Four things to know for those who plan to visit: Helmets are required, and safety equipment is highly recommended. The track is not wide enough for more than one participant at a time. Pets and personal belongings are prohibited on the track surface. Users should ride within their own ability. The track is unsupervised. Signage warns riders to ride at their own risk. The county expects the facility to be a major draw as the closest pump track is in Haulover Beach in Miami-Dade County. 'We are thrilled with the amount of usage thus far,' said Jennifer Kraatz, president of Palm Beach Pump Track. 'The word has gotten out.' More: Okeeheelee Park may be getting another amenity: a playground for everything with wheels Kraatz said the pump track has been designed to host qualifying tournament events that could be held in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. That is not expected to occur until next year, but Kraatz said that she expects communitywide tournaments to be held before then. Her nonprofit already operates the BMX track at Okeeheelee Park. Unlike the pump track, that course features a track that requires pedaling and has separated start-and-finish lines. Bicyclists mostly use it.
