Report – Inter Milan To Sign Two Defenders If France Superstar Leaves: Bayern Star On List
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri will try to sign two defenders if the Frenchman departs San Siro.
There's no doubt that Inter will reinforce their backline down the final stretch of the transfer window.
Despite struggling to find an agreement with Udinese for Oumar Solet, they've cast a wide net in their search for a new defender.
Inter Milan to Sign Kim Min-jae if Benjamin Pavard Leaves
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 20: Benjamin Pavard of FC Internazionale Milano faces the media during the Training/Press Conference ahead of their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Urawa Red Diamonds at Virginia Mason Athletic Center on June 20, 2025 in Seattle, Washington.

Kim Min-jae has re-emerged as a target for Inter after falling out of favor at Bayern Munich.
However, the South Korean will soon be 29. Furthermore, he commands a hefty price tag.
Therefore, Inter will unlikely approach the Bavarians for the former Napoli star unless they sell Benjamin Pavard first.
In that case, Cristian Chivu's side may even sign two defenders.
In addition to Kim, they have set their eyes on Arsenal's Jakub Kiwior and Lille's Alexsandro.

Chelsea agree €29.5 million deal to sell Renato Veiga to Villarreal
Chelsea have agreed a deal to sell versatile defender Renato Veiga to Villarreal for €29.5 million, per Fabrizio Romano. The 22-year-old is on his way out of Stamford Bridge after only a year. The Blues included add-ons and secured a heavy sell-on clause in the Veiga deal. His move is a record transfer for the Yellow Submarines. Veiga arrived at Chelsea last summer and proved instrumental for the West London outfit, comfortably slotting into midfield and at left-back. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca clearly showed trust in Veiga, especially in the cup competitions. However, he surprisingly decided to leave mid-way through the season, claiming he wanted a starting berth as a centre-back. He went on loan to Juventus, where he played in his favoured position. Juve boss Thiago Motta was a fan, lauding his ability to 'find free men between the lines'. Some Chelsea fans hoped that the Blues would reintegrate him into the squad, especially with Levi Colwill out with a long-term injury. Benoit Badiashile is also dealing with niggling issues. There is no way back in for Veiga, who will now complete a move to Villarreal. It will be interesting to see if his departure opens the door for Chelsea to sign another centre-back. Maresca wants a new defender, but the hierarchy maintains that he has enough, with Josh Acheampong emerging and Mamadou Sarr set to return next summer. News from trusted journalists is that Chelsea will only sign a new centre-back if they can shift some, like Veiga and Axel Disasi, off the books. Who should Chelsea sign if they enter the market for a centre-back? If Chelsea need a defender who can command his box and punch passes through the lines, they should consider approaching Inter Milan for Alessandro Bastoni. Bastoni's ability on the ball will be a massive weapon in the build-up phase. Colwill was an excellent ball progressor, and the Italian can fill the gap seamlessly. However, it is worth noting that Bastoni won't come cheap, and Chelsea must also consider what happens when Colwill returns from his setback.

Falcons starting right tackle Kaleb McGary carted off practice field with possible left leg injury
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Atlanta Falcons right tackle Kaleb McGary was carted off the practice field with a possible lower left leg injury on Wednesday, giving the team a new challenge as it prepares for Friday night's final preseason game at Dallas. The Falcons provided no immediate update on the status of McGary, a 2019 first-round pick who has started 92 of 93 games. If the Falcons are without McGary, they will have to find a new blocker to protect the blind side of left-handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr. , the 2024 first-round pick who is entering his first full season as the starter. McGary recently signed a contract extension through the 2027 season. The Falcons' latest depth chart listed six-year veteran Brandon Parker and rookie Jack Nelson as McGary's top backups. Veteran Elijah Wilkinson, who has played both tackle and guard in his eight-year career, moved in to replace McGary in Wednesday's practice. Another backup, Storm Norton, has an undisclosed lower body injury and is not expected to play against Dallas. McGary's injury came less than an hour after coach Raheem Morris announced plans to hold out most starters against the Cowboys. Morris said Penix and veteran backup Kirk Cousins will not play, meaning neither will have taken a snap in a preseason game, though both saw extended work in last week's joint practices with the Tennessee Titans. Morris also said the team's two rookie first-round picks, edge rushers James Pearce Jr. and Jalon Walker, also will be held out. Morris on Wednesday expressed confidence in the team's offensive line depth. 'I've been really pleased with the depth of the offensive line since I've been here,' said Morris, entering his second season as coach. Morris said he was confident in the depth extending past the top backups. ___ AP NFL:

With the WR depth chart slashed by injury and suspension, who could the Vikings add?
When you have Justin Jefferson on your roster, wide receiver is always going to be a position of strength. And while the top of the Vikings' receiver depth chart is as solid as ever, injuries and a suspension mean the team is thinner there than they'd like heading into this season. Jefferson himself just returned to practice after being held out for a while with a hamstring strain. The team insists he'll be ready for Week 1. Jordan Addison, the route-running Robin to Jefferson's Batman, is suspended for the first three games after a reckless driving conviction. No. 3 receiver Jalen Nailor is nursing a hand injury and free agent addition Rondale Moore will miss a second straight season after suffering a knee injury in the Vikings' first preseason game. Behind that group, the Vikings have several rookies, including third-round pick Tai Felton, and a handful of unproven vets and depth pieces. Given that, the team could look to sign a wide receiver — or even trade for one, as the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. So, who's available? This close to the start of the season, the pickings are slim, but there are some viable trade and free-agent targets for the Vikings to go after, including a couple of ghosts of Vikings past. Palmer is entering his third season with the Buccaneers, and he's buried on one of the deepest depth charts in the league. Though the Bucs have injury questions of their own with Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan, they just spent a first-round draft pick on Emeka Egbuka and signed Sterling Shepard this offseason. Palmer has a similar size profile to Addison, and while he's obviously not as talented as the Vikings' No. 2, he only has to replace him in the short term. Palmer also brings skills as a returner, where the Vikings have an open competition. Pierce is coming off the best season of his career (824 yards and seven touchdowns), and would likely command the highest trade return of any name on this list. The 25-year-old is a great deep threat, averaging 22.4 yards per reception last year. So why would the Indianapolis Colts trade him? Well, they just named Daniel Jones their starting quarterback, and Jones is among the league's most reluctant deep passers. The Colts' offense will likely be predicated on short passes, and while Pierce could be used as a decoy to free up space underneath, he may want to seek greener pastures elsewhere. At 6-foot-3 and 211 pounds, he also would give the Vikings an element of size they're currently lacking. Here's a familiar name. The Vikings released Thielen after the 2022 season and he signed a deal with the Carolina Panthers. He's been solid in Carolina, collecting 1,629 yards and nine touchdowns across two seasons. But the Panthers just took a wide receiver with the No. 8 overall pick, and they have some other young prospects as well. A reunion between the Vikings and Thielen would make sense for everyone involved. Davis is a free agent, so the Vikings wouldn't have to give up anything but money to get him. But he's coming off an injury of his own, so depending on his recovery, the Vikings might be hesitant to add him as a failsafe. Still, before his injury last season, he was one of the league's most consistent backup receivers, averaging 682.5 yards and 6.8 touchdowns across four season with the Buffalo Bills. If the medicals check out and the money's right, the Vikings could get a steal in Davis. Another free agent and another familiar face. Powell spent the last two seasons with the Vikings, serving as a depth piece and occasional returner. While he won't move the needle on the field, he's familiar with the offense and likely wouldn't be an expensive add. If the Vikings are just seeking a Band-Aid while Addison's suspended and Nailor is recovering, Powell would be a fine option.
