Atalanta Coach Juric Says Ademola Lookman ‘Was Completely Straight With Me' About Inter Milan Transfer Request
Atalanta coach Ivan Juric says that forward Ademola Lookman was 'completely straight with me' about his desire to join Inter Milan. Juric spoke to L'Eco di Bergamo, via FCInterNews, regarding the 27-year-old's transfer request. Ademola Lookman has done everything he can to join Inter Milan this summer. The former Leicester City and Fulham forward has had an agreement with the Nerazzurri for weeks. And Inter, for their part, have made two offers to Atalanta. La Dea have turned both of them down, however. This prompted Lookman to hand in a transfer request and make a public statement demanding the move. The Nigerian international claimed that Atalanta had promised him a move this summer. Lookman had already scrubbed all traces of his current employers from his social media accounts a couple days prior. Atalanta Coach Ivan Juric: 'Ademola Lookman Was Completely Straight With Me' Over Inter Request MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 20: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta BC looks on during the Serie A match between AC Milan and Atalanta BC at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on April 20, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Atalanta still have not relented, however. The Bergamo club have reportedly sandbagged Inter in negotiations, not even making a counteroffer. And in the meantime, La Dea prefer to sell Lookman to a team outside of Serie A. Behind the scenes, Atalanta coach Ivan Juric said of Lookman that 'he was completely straight with me.' 'He explained his thinking,' the coach continued. Then, Juric noted that 'we've lost players who gave us 80-90% of our goals last season.' The coach admitted that 'I don't think anyone will come in who can match Retegui or Lookman's performances in one fell swoop.' 'But I think we need to strengthen intelligently. Expand our options.'

Liverpool vs. Bournemouth: Time, where to watch Premier League soccer season opener
The 2025-26 Premier League season kicks off Friday, with Liverpool starting their title defense by hosting Bournemouth at Anfield. Despite winning the English top flight by 10 points last season, the Reds haven't sat still. Liverpool spent over $300 million in transfer fees to bolster a formidable squad. That included pricey moves to add Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitiké to a powerful attack, and replacing right back Trent Alexander-Arnold (who joined Real Madrid) with Jeremie Frimpong. Bournemouth will be very familiar with one of Liverpool's big additions, with defender Milos Kerkez leaving the Cherries to join Arne Slot's side in a $54 million transfer this summer. Still, manager Andoni Iraola — who is likely to include U.S. men's national team midfielder Tyler Adams in his starting 11 Friday — has impressed since taking over in 2023, using a high-pressing approach that gives bigger-spending teams fits. As such, it's hardly the easiest assignment for a team like Liverpool, who are favored to repeat as Premier League champions. The Reds beat Bournemouth home and away last season without conceding a single goal, but the Cherries were able to record solid wins over Arsenal and Manchester City, and are more than comfortable trying to punch above their weight.

AC Milan signs Young Boys defender Athekame for 2nd major Swiss addition this month
MILAN (AP) — AC Milan signed defender Zachary Athekame on Friday, adding another Swiss player this month as the seven-time European champion tries to return to the Champions League. Milan said the 20-year-old Athekame signed a five-year contract. The transfer fee for the former Young Boys right-back is reportedly 10 million euros ($11.7 million). The Switzerland Under-21 international arrives in Milan days after former Lucerne playmaker Ardon Jashari joined from Club Brugge for a reported 36 million euros ($42 million). Milan placed eighth in Serie A last season and failed to qualify for any European competition. Athekame played in all eight of Young Boys' Champions League games last season. The Swiss title holder lost all eight to finish last in the 36-team standings. Milan placed 13th then was eliminated in the knockout playoffs by Feyenoord. Athekame was released by his hometown club Servette as a teenager and played in the Swiss second-tier division just 15 months ago with Neuchatel Xamax.
