Inter Milan & Germany Star Hits Out At Transfer Rumours: ‘Let Them Say What They Want'
The 24-year-old took to his Instagram story to address the rumours, via FCInterNews. He declared, 'let them say what they want.'
Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck has been at the heart of some transfer speculation this summer.
Most notably, there is reportedly interest in the German international coming from the Premier League.
Crystal Palace, for example, made an offer for Bisseck. They put a bid of around €32 million.
Inter, however, held out for more. The Nerazzurri reportedly gave Palace a counteroffer of €40 million.

However, there is also the will of the player concerned.
Bisseck has now been at Inter for two years. He joined from Danish club Aarhus in the summer of 2023.
And the German has certainly done well to establish a place for himself in the Nerazzurri squad – and even in the starting eleven.
Therefore, it is not exactly as though Bisseck is in any imminent rush to leave Inter.
The 24-year-old therefore took to his Instagram story to give his verdict on the transfer rumours.
Captioning a photo from Inter's preseason training, Bisseck posted 'let them think what they want.'

Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris signs new contract
Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris has signed a new contract at the Stadium of Light running to the summer of 2028. Le Bris, 49, was appointed in late June of last year and guided Sunderland to promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs in his first season. Sunderland's first top-flight season since 2016-17 begins at home to West Ham United on Saturday week. Advertisement 'The connection I have with the staff, players and supporters has been natural and we shared many great moments together,' Le Bris said in a statement. 'The collective ambition is there to see and now there is a desire to become stronger. I can feel the energy and intent to push forward, and we need that in the next challenges we will face. In every part of the organisation, everyone has their own part to play, and we are all aligned.' Le Bris had previously not worked in England but Sunderland, with the youngest squad in the Championship, won nine of their first twelve league games under the Frenchman. That form could not continue but it showed Le Bris' organisational impact on the team. A side that had finished 16th in 2023-24 came fourth a year later. That led to a dramatic play-off semi-final victory over Coventry City and an even more dramatic Wembley win against Sheffield United, when Sunderland were 1-0 down at half-time and won the match in the last seconds. Sunderland have made eight new signings over the summer and Le Bris' contract extension, according to sporting director Kristjaan Speakman, 'provides clarity going into the Premier League season'. Speakman added: 'But more importantly it recognises his contribution and continued commitment to the Club. Régis has an unrelenting desire for progression that matches our own and we look forward to continuing our partnership throughout the upcoming season, as we move forward with aligned objectives that reflect our shared ambition.'

Pedulla Ponders: ‘Who Kicked Up A Worse Fuss At Atalanta – Koopmeiners Or Lookman?'
Alfredo Pedulla wonders who kicked up a worse fuss at Atalanta out of Teun Koopmeiners and Atalanta Lookman. The SportItalia transfer market expert mused on the parallel situations in two consecutive transfer windows for La Dea. This summer, Inter Milan's pursuit of Ademola Lookman has become perhaps the most high profile transfer soap opera in Serie A. It's not just that the Nerazzurri are trying to sign a big name player from their rivals. The fact that Lookman has very publicly pushed for the transfer – going so far as a to deliver a public transfer request on social media – has turned it into a circus. Last summer, meanwhile, Juventus had chased Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners for the entire summer. The Bianconeri did end up signing Koopmeiners. But only right at the end of the transfer window. Pedulla: 'Who Kicked Up A Worse Fuss At Atalanta – Koopmeiners Or Lookman?' BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 20: Teun Koopmeiners of Atalanta BC looks on during the Serie A match between Atalanta BC and Hellas Verona at Gewiss Stadium on May 20, 2023 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) SportItalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla ponders, 'Who do you think kicked up a worse fuss?' 'Koopmeiners, who presented a medical certificate just to join Juve, or Lookman, who decided yesterday to use social media without any certificate, after the chaos and unsettled situation of last summer?' 'With Atalanta having guaranteed him a transfer,' Pedulla notes. 'But for a fee that the club would set.' He then recalls that 'Koopmeiners became a soap opera because, starting in December of 2023, Juve had promised they'd bring him to Turin for any fee.' 'They hadn't agreed on one beforehand,' Pedulla notes. 'Is it better to present a medical certificate? Or to take to social media to try and turn the tables?' Pedulla then observes that 'we're in the crucial week.' 'And considering that there's no longer a deadline, which was missed in spectacular fashion as there was no agreement on figures, everyone can think what they want about Lookman's value.' 'I think he's worth at least €50 million based on the figures I've seen.' Pedulla predicts that 'I don't think we'll have to wait very long.' 'Percassi isn't mad at Lookman. He's mad at his agents.' 'They've been sending messages about him that aren't credible, and don't reflect reality. Namely, those about a price being agreed-upon.'

Joao Palhinha to Tottenham: Everything you need to know
Tottenham Hotspur have signed Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich. The deal for the 30-year-old includes an option to make the transfer permanent for €30million (£25.9m, $34.2m). As part of this summer's transfer coverage on The Athletic, in addition to breaking news, tactical analysis and in-depth reads, our Transfers TLDR series (you can read them all here) will bring you a quick guide to each of the key deals. A Portuguese international whose career has taken a wrong turn over the past year. In 2023, Palhinha, then of Fulham, nearly joined Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window, but the move fell apart. He eventually moved to the German side a year later. By the time he arrived, Thomas Tuchel had been replaced by Vincent Kompany, and his role in the side no longer really existed. Palhinha was asked to be a more front-foot player, not the anchorman he was at Fulham, and he never found any rhythm. Advertisement It left him out of favour this summer and available to Spurs. Sebastian Stafford-Bloor He's an old-fashioned No 6 in many ways, in the sense that he's a ball-winner first. Palhinha built his reputation last time he was in the Premier League off the back of his defensive qualities — he's one of the few footballers to have compilations built entirely out of tackles — but he's no deadweight with the ball. True, he's not a penetrative passer, but he's accomplished in possession and capable of showing shades of technique alongside his more rugged qualities, even if that's not what he's known for. But Tottenham are certainly getting a competitor. Sebastian Stafford-Bloor Given the lack of defensively robust midfielders in Tottenham's squad, Palhinha is a smart addition. He has a keen eye for how moves develop and knows when to make a defensive action, even if his hard tackling can occasionally result in fouls and yellow cards. In 68 league games for Fulham between 2022 and 2024, he attempted 300 tackles, the highest across the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga across that timespan, and at least 76 more than any other player. Among central and defensive midfielders, his 92 interceptions ranked fifth. Palhinha is not very comfortable breaking the lines or lifting the tempo of play with carries and risky passes, but if Thomas Frank pairs him with a more progressive option in Lucas Bergvall, Pape Sarr, or Rodrigo Bentancur at the base of midfield, Palhinha can recycle possession and protect the back line. Anantaajith Raghuraman Certainly nothing to worry about, but he suffered a very badly timed abductor tear in November last year, which kept him out for six weeks and forced him to miss part of mid-season training camp during the winter break. Long-term, it was of no consequence, but at the time, with Palhinha trying to build his confidence and others' trust in him at Bayern, it could not have occurred at a worse moment. Advertisement Still, a clean bill of health since then. Sebastian Stafford-Bloor 'Physically, (Palhinha's) a beast,' his former Braga team-mate Rui Fonte told The Athletic last year. 'He added quality of his passing and his vision. Most of the time, he keeps it simple and that helps. He knows where he is strong and where he is not so strong. His range on the pitch was his main characteristic that I saw. He would help us everywhere on the pitch.' Fonte also said Palhinha's hard-tackling style is well-suited to the Premier League. 'In Portugal, he had to learn the hard way. At the beginning, he would get quite a few yellow cards. But he's an intelligent player. He started to time and choose when to tackle. In England, it's a little bit aggressive — in a good way. He was in a league where he's more comfortable, because the referees allow the game to flow.' Cerys Jones Palhinha has joined Spurs on a season-long loan deal, whereafter his new club will have the option to make the move permanent for €30m. Spurs will cover Palhinha's wage in full during his time in north London. Palhinha joined Bayern Munich for €51m a little over a year ago on a four-year deal. Chris Weatherspoon If we take it that Spurs, as has been reported, have paid a €5m (£4.3m) loan fee for Palhinha, all of it will be booked as a cost in their 2025-26 accounts. Likewise, they'll pay 100 per cent of Palhinha's wage for the next year, which won't be an immaterial amount. Palhinha's new side can make his move permanent in a year if they choose to, with the €30m option to buy looking likely to ensure Bayern wouldn't take a loss on him if he were sold then. Based on The Athletic's calculations, his book value in a year should be pretty much in line with that €30m figure. In the meantime, Bayern will book all of any loan fee received into their 2025-26 financials, as well as enjoy the savings on wages. Chris Weatherspoon
