Report – Inter Milan ‘Crazy' About Chelsea & Brazil Star

Inter Milan are reportedly 'crazy' about young Chelsea and Brazil central midfielder Andrey Santos. This according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, via FCInterNews. They report, however, that the Nerazzurri would only sign the 21-year-old in the event that they make a major sale in midfield. Inter Milan held a number of meetings with agents and intermediaries yesterday. It was a busy day with the transfer window now right at its peak. And according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, one of the agents at the Nerazzurri's headquarters was Giuliano Bertolucci. According to SportItalia, one of the players who Bertolucci represents that Inter made an inquiry about is Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos. The Brazilian spent last season on loan with Strasbourg in Ligue 1. And Inter are keeping tabs on Santos. Particularly considering his age, the 21-year-old is a player the Nerazzurri see as a prospect for the future.

The Brazilian may have been among the targets to replace him, though.

On this day: Celtic sign Larsson

On 25 July 1997 Celtic signed striker Henrik Larsson from Dutch side Feyenoord with little knowledge of just how monumental an impact the Swede would have. Larsson followed manager Wim Jansen to Glasgow as Celtic were preparing try to stop Rangers from winning a 10th successive title. And the Sweden striker helped his side do just that. Despite not getting off to the best start - including scoring an own goal in his first European outing - Larsson went on to score 19 goals in his debut season in Glasgow and inspire Celtic to their first league title in a decade. Larsson would go on to make over 300 appearances in the hoops, scoring 242 goals - including 15 against Rangers. He was a driving force in Celtic's run to the Uefa Cup final in 2003, two years after helping them to a domestic treble, and won four league titles, two League Cups and two Scottish Cups before joining Barcelona. When that departure finally came in 2004, it was clear Larsson had cemented himself as a Celtic legend.

Wise Turned to US as Some Investors Pushed Back on Dual Shares

Wise Plc's plan to shift its primary listing out of London gathered momentum after some existing shareholders rebuffed a proposal that would have allowed Chief Executive Officer Kristo Käärmann to keep his so-called golden shares for many more years, according to people familiar with the matter. In late 2024, Wise's board began consulting with shareholders on a plan that would allow the company to preserve in London the dual-class share structure that gives Käärmann de facto voting control in the company, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing non-public information.
