Revealed – Fee Being Negotiated By Inter Milan & Bologna For Albania Star
Inter Milan and Bologna are negotiating a fee of €13 million plus add-ons and a sell-on fee for midfielder Kristjan Asllani. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. The Nerazzurri have been working to offload the Albanian international this summer. Asllani joined Inter from Empoli in the summer of 2022. And after three years at the club, it has become clear that he is not a part of the plans. Therefore, Inter have made no secret of the fact that Asllani is up for sale. Meanwhile, the player himself reportedly prioritized staying in Serie A. He therefore turned down a move to Real Betis. Inter & Bologna Negotiating €13M + Add-Ons For Kristjan Asllani MONZA, ITALY – AUGUST 12: Kristjan Asllani of FC Internazionale gestures during the Pre-season Friendly match between AC Monza and FC Internazionale at U-Power Stadium on August 12, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) Inter and Bologna have now reached the stage of negotiations where they are settling on a fee. Reportedly Inter have been asking for around €17-18 million for Asllani. However, Bologna are aiming to lower that fee by changing up the structure of the deal a bit. The Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Rossoblu are ready to invest around €13 million in the deal right away. However, the newspaper anticipate, there would also be some add-ins in the deal. Furthermore, Bologna could also offer Inter a percentage of resale to convince them on a lower up-front fee.

Report – Inter Milan No Longer Consider Signing Atalanta Talisman A Priority
Inter Milan reportedly no longer consider signing Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman to be a priority this summer. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Inter have been chasing Ademola Lookman for almost five weeks now. The transfer saga between the Nerazzurri, the Nigerian international, and Atalanta has become the transfer soap opera of the summer in Serie A. Inter Have made two offers for Lookman. First they bid €40 million. Then, they increased their offer to €45 million including add-ons. And in the meantime, Lookman has tried to force Atalanta's hand on a move. The 27-year-old has publicly demanded a transfer. He has also been no-showing training for Atalanta since the start of August. Inter No Longer Consider Ademola Lookman A Priority BERGAMO, ITALY – JANUARY 21: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD7 match between Atalanta BC and SK Sturm Graz at Stadio di Bergamo on January 21, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) According to the Corriere dello Sport, Inter have gradually started to re-think their approach as the end of the transfer window comes into view. Atalanta have not softened their stance. This has made Inter look elsewhere. And furthermore, the Corriere report, Inter have also been very happy with the performances of strikers Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito in preseason. Therefore, the newspaper anticipate, Inter don't necessarily see a big attacking signing as a target. By contrast, the Nerazzurri are keen to sign a midfielder. Roma's Manu Kone has emerged as a major target in this respect.

Patriots 53-man roster projection: Veteran S Kyle Dugger on the outside looking in?
Only a handful of practices and one preseason game remain before coach Mike Vrabel has to trim his inaugural New England Patriots roster down to 53 players. Even after a summer full of practices and two exhibition games, a few tough decisions remain, including whether to keep seven wide receivers, which backup offensive linemen will stick around and how to handle returning veterans like Kyle Dugger and Jahlani Tavai. Advertisement Here's our latest projection for the team's initial 53-man roster. In: Drake Maye, Joshua Dobbs Out: Ben Wooldridge No surprises here. Maye has done a nice job in camp of avoiding turnovers, but his accuracy was a bit of an issue during his limited appearance in Saturday's preseason game. So far, he has handled the frequent pressure he has been under fairly well. However, the fear is that constant pressure will start to take a toll on him mentally, and he'll start forcing the ball when he otherwise wouldn't. Maye probably won't play in the preseason finale, so the next time we see him in a game should be the season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. In: Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, Antonio Gibson, JaMycal Hasty Out: Terrell Jennings, Shane Watts Stevenson is banged up, and Jennings has been limited due to an injury, so Hasty has gotten lots of run with the backups in recent sessions. He had 11 carries for 47 yards (as well as a catch for 5 yards) Saturday, and could play his way onto the roster with a nice performance Thursday night. The real story here, though, is Henderson. He looks like the total package at running back, and while Stevenson has been limited for stretches in camp, Henderson continues to thrive. To the endzone, @TreVeyonH4! 📺: WBZ — New England Patriots (@Patriots) August 16, 2025 In: Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, Efton Chism III Out: Javon Baker, Ja'Lynn Polk, Kendrick Bourne, John Jiles, Jeremiah Webb For the first time all summer, it finally looks like there's clarity here. That's in large part because of the way Chism has shown up and made it abundantly clear he deserves a spot on the roster. Both Vrabel and Maye praised his work after Saturday's game, in which Chism caught all six of his targets for 71 yards and a touchdown. Advertisement At this point, the only remaining question may be whether Baker can do enough to convince the team to keep seven wide receivers. But with injuries at running back and depth questions at tight end, that seems less than ideal. In: Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, Jack Westover, Cole Fotheringham Out: Gee Scott, Jaheim Bell, C.J. Dippre In the offseason, this seemed like a competition between Bell, Scott and Dippre for the final roster spot. Suddenly, however, Westover appears to be on the right side of the roster bubble after adding fullback duties, while Fotheringham has dabbled at that position and is probably the best blocker of the bunch. So with the Patriots expected to use big formations, it wouldn't be a shock to see them keep four at this position. In: Will Campbell, Jared Wilson, Garrett Bradbury, Mike Onwenu, Morgan Moses, Marcus Bryant, Cole Strange, Demontrey Jacobs, Ben Brown Out: Sidy Sow, Caedan Wallace, Layden Robinson, Alec Lindstrom, Tyrese Robinson, Mekhi Butler, Jack Conley, Vederian Lowe The Patriots still don't know who their starting left guard will be after they demoted Wilson for Brown this week. Strangely, Wilson and Brown have all gotten reps with the starters there. The drawback to keeping an extra tight end is that it likely means cutting another offensive lineman, which is why Sow and Wallace miss out in this projection. In: Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, Keion White, Khyiris Tonga, Joshua Farmer, Harold Landry, K'Lavon Chaisson, Bradyn Swinson, Anfernee Jennings, Truman Jones Out: Elijah Ponder, Jahvaree Ritzie, David Olajiga, Isaiah Iton, Jereme Robinson, Kyle Peko Everything seemed to be pointing to Jennings being the latest Patriots veteran jettisoned by a new coaching staff. Vrabel even admitted that he brought in younger players at the position, in part thinking the team might replace Jennings. Advertisement But Vrabel praised the way Jennings fought back from that and remained competitive. Jennings was good enough in the preseason game Saturday (2 1/2 sacks) that he earns a roster spot here. In: Robert Spillane, Christian Elliss, Jack Gibbens, Jahlani Tavai Out: Marte Mapu, Monty Rice, Cam Riley, R.J. Moten This is a position where the Patriots could make tweaks via the waiver wire once roster-cutdown day arrives. That's because Tavai already seemed to be on the roster bubble and has missed recent practices with an undisclosed injury. For now, though, he's penciled onto the roster. In: Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis, Marcus Jones, Alex Austin, DJ James, Isaiah Bolden Out: Tre Avery, Kobee Minor, Miles Battle, Jordan Polk, Brandon Crossley For most of camp, we've projected five cornerbacks would make the team. But with the way Kyle Dugger has fallen on the depth chart, perhaps the new Patriots brass is leaning toward an extra corner instead of a safety. That could open a spot for someone like Bolden, who also contributes on special teams. In: Jabrill Peppers, Jaylinn Hawkins, Craig Woodson, Marcus Epps, Brenden Schooler Out: Kyle Dugger, Dell Pettus With an average annual value of $14.5 million, Dugger is the seventh-highest-paid player on the Patriots, yet he might not make the team. Dugger has fallen so far on the depth chart that he played the whole fourth quarter Saturday with mostly third-string defenders. The Pats wouldn't get much cap savings by cutting Dugger, but if Saturday's playing time was any indication, they might do it anyway. In: John Parker Romo, Bryce Baringer, Julian Ashby Out: Andres Borregales The kicking competition is going down to the wire, with either still capable of making it. For the first time, we'll give the slightest of advantages to Parker Romo over Borregales, the sixth-round pick, after the latter badly hooked a long field goal try Saturday. Spot the pattern.
