Lazio's transfer stance on Tchaouna, Rovella and Raspadori
Lazio are not in a hurry to decide on the future of Loum Tchaouna, while Maurizio Sarri feels Giacomo Raspadori might have the same development as Dries Mertens, while Nicolò Rovella won't leave unless his €50m clause is met.
Lazio are not planning to make drastic changes to their squad for the 2025-26 season, despite the appointment of Sarri as their new coach.

I can confirm Tchaouna has attracted interest from Burnley and PSV, but the Biancocelesti have yet to make a final decision on the French winger's future.

Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a primary candidate in midfield, but Bologna's Giovanni Fabbian is also on Lazio's agenda.
West Ham's Emerson Palmieri is seen as a potential replacement for Nuno Tavares at left-back, but the Italian defender has a high salary. The Biancocelesti are also watching Ben Chilwell (Chelsea) and Aaron Martin (Genoa).
Sarri's plan for Raspadori

Napoli's Raspadori is a primary target in attack, as Sarri feels he can have the same development as Mertens at Napoli. The Belgian started his spell at the Stadio Maradona as a winger but reached his career peak as a false nine under the Tuscan tactician.

As for now, Lazio are only following the above-mentioned players and have not started formal talks.
As for Rovella, the Italian midfielder has a €50m clause and Lazio are unwilling to accept a lower offer. Therefore, anyone who wants to sign the Regista must match this fee and convince the player to leave.

All eyes will be on McLaren to see how they will rebound after a dramatic Canadian Grand Prix where neither driver made it onto the podium for the first time this season. The McLaren pair had a collision at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve which saw Lando Norris retire from the race while Oscar Piastri managed to finish in fourth and, as such, added a further 12 points to his tally - now standing at 198 points. It was George Russell who pulled off a stunning first victory of the season for himself and Mercedes, starting from pole position and holding off Max Verstappen to take the win. The Briton finished 0.228 seconds ahead of Verstappen, while his teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli celebrated his maiden podium finish in third.

Inter Milan Captain Delivers Verdict On Verbal Incident Between Marcos Acuna & Denzel Dumfries: 'These Things Happen On The Pitch'
Inter Milan Captain Delivers Verdict On Verbal Incident Between Marcos Acuna & Denzel Dumfries: 'These Things Happen On The Pitch' Inter Milan star Lautaro Martinez offered an honest assessment of last night's incident between Marcos Acuna and Denzel Dumfries. During a post-match interview via FCInterNews, El Toro reviewed a heated altercation between the two defenders. Advertisement Cristian Chivu's side posted a crucial win over River Plate to secure a top spot in their FIFA Club World Cup group. Though a 2-0 scoreline gives the impression of conviction, Inter had to work their socks off at Lumen Field. Indeed, Marcelo Gallardo's men proved why many consider them among the fiercest competitors in world football. Despite being no match to Inter's technical and tactical prowess, River Plate made up for those shortcomings with a spirited display. Even that would be an understatement. For context, the Argentines committed 20 fouls and earned two red cards in another ill-tempered fixture. Advertisement However, on-field tensions escalated only after the final whistle. Lautaro Martinez Delivers Verdict on Denzel Dumfries vs Marcos Acuna Conflict MILAN, ITALY – MAY 18: Denzel Dumfries of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on May 18, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Marcos Acuna insulted Denzel Dumfries in the locker rooms, with many suspecting racial abuse. However, Lautaro admits these things happen on the football pitches. 'Was there a racial slur from the Argentine? I don't know, I was on the bench,' he stated. 'I spoke with him, and it ended there. These are things that happen on the pitch. I don't know anything else.' Whether he was only defending his countryman out of loyalty, Lautaro chose not to escalate the matter. Advertisement Meanwhile, he hailed Inter's grit and determination. 'River ran out of energy in the second half,' El Toro added. 'That was the key. 'We managed to build up our attacks well, finding space between the lines that allowed us to create chances and score goals. 'Having a man advantage matters in today's game, and we played a great match,' he concluded.

Report – Villarreal Won't Trigger Option To Sign Inter Milan & Canada Wingback
Villarreal decided against purchasing Inter Milan loanee Tajon Buchanan after his loan deal expired at the start of this month. Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, there's still a chance for the Canadian wingback to return to La Ceramica. Advertisement Tajon Buchanan joined the Yellow Submarine on a six-month loan in January. Furthermore, Villarreal paid Inter €1 million to borrow the 26-year-old and included a buyout clause in the region of €13m. However, after careful examination, they decided not to take it. Villarreal Will Not Purchase Inter Milan Wingback Tajon Buchanan UDINE, ITALY – APRIL 08: Tajon Buchanan of FC Internazionale during the Serie A TIM match between Udinese Calcio and FC Internazionale – Serie A TIM at Dacia Arena on April 08, 2024 in Udine, Italy. (Photo by) Though the price wasn't high, Villarreal won't turn Buchanan's transfer permanent under current terms. Instead, they hope to get a discount from Inter. Buchanan made 13 La Liga appearances for the Castellon outfit, netting one goal and providing two assists. However, he only registered four league starts, failing to secure a regular starting berth under Marcelino Garcia Toral. Therefore, Villarreal will only sign the ex-Club Brugge star on favorable terms. As for Buchanan, his chances of breaking into Cristian Chivu's set-up look bleak.
