Ballon d'Or 2025: PSG breaks a stunning Real Madrid record
PSG has made a major statement following the release of the nominees for the upcoming Ballon d'Or, setting a new record ahead of Real Madrid.
France Football unveiled its eagerly awaited list of 30 Ballon d'Or nominees this Thursday. It was only natural to expect a strong PSG presence after a truly spectacular season from the Parisian side.
No fewer than nine PSG players have made the top 30—almost the entire starting eleven. The list includes Donnarumma, Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Joâo Neves, Fabian Ruiz, Doué, Kvara, and Dembélé. This marks a record for the most players from a single team making the Ballon d'Or top 30.
In fact, PSG boasts one more nominee than Real Madrid did during their historic 2018 campaign.

Inter Milan Yet To Receive Lookman Counteroffer From Atalanta – In Constant Contact With Player
Inter Milan have yet to receive a counteroffer for Ademola Lookman from Atalanta. This according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri are in regular contact with the Nigerian international, who is no-showing training. Inter Milan have now been publicly pursuing Ademola Lookman for the better part of a month. In fact, by all accounts the Nerazzurri had hoped to wrap up a deal for the Nigerian by the start of August. That putative 'deadline' has now long come and gone. Inter had hoped that after Atalanta rejected their €40 million first offer, a second bid worth €45 million with add-ons would get a different response.

The 27-year-old former Leicester City and Fulham forward has issued a public transfer request, no-showed training for the past several days, and even left Italy. According to SportItalia, Inter are in regular contact with Lookman. The player is currently at a resort in Iberia awaiting developments regarding his future. Inter, meanwhile, are also getting ready to make a new bid. Therefore, the Nerazzurri need to wait and see if Atalanta will give a clear counteroffer.

Report – Inter Milan Ready To Raise Lookman Bid To Ward Off Arsenal Interest
Inter Milan are ready to raise their offer for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman in order to ward off interest from Arsenal. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper La Repubblica, via FCInterNews. One thing that looks extremely clear is that Ademola Lookman wants to leave Atalanta this summer. The 27-year-old made a public transfer request. He accused La Dea of breaking a 'promise' to sell him this summer. Furthermore, Lookman has no-showed training for the past few days. It is also no secret that Lookman wants to join Inter. The player already has an agreement on personal terms with the Nerazzurri, who have had two offers turned down by Atalanta already.

(Photo by) However, Inter are not necessarily the only team to be eyeing up a move for Lookman. And the more time that passes without the Nerazzurri securing a deal, the likelier it is that other big European clubs could see the possibility to hijack the move. One particularly formidable rival for Lookman's signature would be Arsenal. The Gunners have identified the Nigerian international as a possible transfer opportunity, according to recent reports. Therefore, La Repubblica report, Inter are keen to raise their offer very soon to prevent Arsenal from nipping in.
