Report – Inter Milan Line Up Last-Minute Moves For Arsenal & Chelsea Defenders
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri could make a late swoop for one of them.
With Udinese unlikely to let Oumar Solet leave the club toward the end of the summer, Inter must expand their search for a new defender.
Indeed, they've already set their sights on Chelsea outcast Renato Veiga.
However, Juventus are keen to re-sign the player, who spent last season on loan in Turin.

Jakub Kiwior could be an option for the San Siro club after falling out of favor at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite joining Arsenal with high expectations, the former Spezia defender could return to Serie A sooner than expected.
Yet, Cristian Chivu's side would be wise to accelerate their pursuit of the Pole as they face competition from Porto.
Meanwhile, Chalobah is another name in Beppe Marotta's notebook, though his acquisition appears more complicated.

Powerball jackpot rises to $50m, Sam Kerr nears long-awaited return, Australia Post halts US transit shipping
Hello and welcome to Yahoo's live news blog this Friday. The Powerball jackpot has rolled over to $50 million after there was no Division one winner on Thursday night. Sam Kerr appears to have set a date for her long-awaited return from injury. The Matildas captain is eyeing Chelsea's first game of the season in two weeks as a possible return from 19 months out through injury. Queensland Police insists there will be more opportunities to protest Palestine supporters after a march across Brisbane's Story Bridge was blocked. Follow along as we bring you regular updates throughout the day. Australia Post halts transit shipping as Trump deadline looms Australia Post is blocking countries shipping goods to the US through Australia as Donald Trump's tariff changes loom. The national courier confirmed it will "temporarily suspend" transit shipping to the ABC and comes as low-value goods arriving in the US are set to cop additional tariffs from next week as part of the US president's sweeping tariff changes. Queensland Police promise protest 'opportunities' after blocking bridge march Queensland Police has stressed there will be future opportunities for pro-Palestine protesters after a march across Brisbane's Story Bridge was blocked by the courts. Police successfully argued it was unsafe, despite a similar protest successfully taking place on the Sydney Harbour Bridge a few weeks ago. Queensland's chief magistrate Janelle Brassington sided with police, saying she was satisfied there was a significant risk posed by the protest. And while Acting Assistant Commissioner Rhys Wildman said the route and the bridge itself were deemed unsafe, he told ABC News Breakfast on Friday that there's "always opportunities" for organisers to protest. "The court ruling applies to this particular protest on Sunday. So there's always opportunities to consider other options down the track," he said. Sam Kerr eyes return after injury nightmare Sam Kerr says she's raring to go after an injury nightmare kept her out of the game for 19 months. The Matildas captain is eyeing a return at the start of Chelsea's season in two weeks time and she plans on hitting the ground running. "For the last, however many years, I've been within the top goalscorers, if not the top goalscorer in the team, and that's where I want to come back to, I've got high expectations of myself," she said. Powerball jackpot rises to $50 million There was no Division one Powerball winner last night, meaning the jackpot has jumped $20 million to $50 million for next week's draw. There were four ticket holders who did manage to take home $147,381 each via Division two. The winning numbers for Thursday night's Powerball draw 1527 were: 12, 18, 16, 1, 14, 4, and 8, with the Powerball number 14. Lottery operators say they plan on rising the price of a Powerball ticket to $1.40 in November, up from $1.20. They say it will enable them to offer even bigger prizes, after a bumper year of big jackpots. The introduction of an extra number required in 2018 meant bigger jackpots were more likely, and in turn, increases interest in what lottery officials say is their "premium" offering to Australians.

Bundesliga Preview: Can Anyone Stop Bayern Munich This Season?
After securing the first-ever Franz-Beckenbauer Supercup title holders Bayern Munich will host RB Leipzig to kick off the 63rd Bundesliga campaign at the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich regained the title last year after finishing the 2023/24 campaign in third place behind Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart. At first glance, anything but the 35th German championship and the 34th Bundesliga title would be a major surprise. After all, there is no doubt that the Rekordmeister has the most talented squad in the Bundesliga. Numbers by Transfermarkt underline this observation. With a market value of €875 million ($1.01 billion), Bayern's squad value is significantly ahead of the second most valuable squad in the league: RB Leipzig. Leipzig's squad value of just €493 million ($572 million) is almost half of Bayern's evaluation. That, however, doesn't mean that there is no hope for a title race. Even though Bayern Munich added superstar winger Luis Díaz from Liverpool, the squad seems thin. Together with Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, the Rekordmeister has the smallest squad in the league. Overall, Bayern has 26 players listed in its squad. But unlike Leverkusen and Dortmund, that squad includes four goalkeepers and four youth players: Paul Wanner, Lennart Karl, Wisdom Mike and Jonah Kusi-Asare. Furthermore, one of these youth players, Wanner, is now on the move and set to join PSV Eindhoven. Bayern's squad strength has certainly been a discussion point among players. 'It is one of the smallest squads I played in,' Bayern star striker Harry Kane said to Transfermarkt after the Supercup. 'There is still some time from now until the end of the transfer window. But that's down to [director of sport] Max [Eberl] and [sporting director] Christoph [Freund] as well as the coach to make those kinds of decisions. We also have a couple of really good young players who have done well in preseason games. But yeah, we are a little light, if we are being honest, but from our point of view, we, the players, can't control that. The feeling then was that Bayern was still going to add players. But instead, Wanner is now set to leave, and no new players will come in. There is certainly a major risk in that approach. With Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies out for the foreseeable future, the Bayern squad appears to be just one injury away from a major crisis. While that's bad for the Rekordmeister, it provides an opportunity for the other teams in the Bundesliga. Who are the major challengers? The most obvious choice seems to be Leverkusen. But Die Werkself also underwent a major turnover this summer. Head coach Xabi Alonso left for Real Madrid and was replaced by Erik ten Hag. Star players Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong (both Liverpool), Granit Xhaka (Sunderland), Jonathan Tah (Bayern Munich), Amine Adli (Bournemouth), and Lukas Hradecky (Monaco) are all gone. By the time of writing, Leverkusen was also in the final stages of selling Victor Boniface to Milan. Several new players arrived. Among them are Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Malick Tillman (PSV Eindhoven), Loïc Badé (Sevilla), Ibrahim Maza (Hertha), Mark Flekken (Brentford), Ernest Poku (AZ Alkmaar), and several younger players. The talent is there, but putting together a new team that can challenge for the title will take time. The same can be said for Leipzig. The Red Bulls have once again a young and exciting team after spending north of $100 million on new players. However, the departures of Benjamin Sesko and Xavi Simons will need to be compensated for. Leipzig added Johan Bakayoko (PSV), Yan Diomande (Leganes), Rômulo (Göztepe), Ezechiel Banzuzi (Leuven), Andrija Maksimović (Crvena zvezda), and Max Finkgräfe (Köln). All those players are exciting names, but new head coach Ole Werner will take some time to find a structure to fully integrate all those wunderkinds. Teams to watch will be Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart. Frankfurt lost Hugo Ekitiké to Liverpool but otherwise kept together and added to an exciting squad. Cup winners Stuttgart has perhaps the best coach in the league in the form of Sebastian Hoeneß. Stuttgart is a team to watch. Die Schwaben were able to hold on to emerging star Nick Woltemade and added Noah Darvich. Darvich was the biggest star of the 2023 U17 World Cup, guiding Germany to the trophy. Darvich is set to replace Enzo Millot, who opted to leave for Saudi Arabia. Bayern's biggest obstacle to winning the title will, however, be an old enemy: Borussia Dortmund. After a horrendous season that was only just salvaged by new head coach Niko Kovac, Dortmund looks like the most stable of all the big Bundesliga clubs. Indeed, under Kovac, Dortmund was only second to Bayern Munich in points per game last season. The Berlin-born Croatian doesn't play the most exciting football but that might be a good thing for Dortmund. Focused on defense and relying up front on Serhou Guirassy, who might be the most reliable goalscorer in the Bundesliga, the Black and Yellows are a serious title contender this season. That's perhaps good news for the Bundesliga. Over the last couple years, Leverkusen challenged Bayern, winning the title in 2024. But Dortmund is Germany's second biggest club, and a title challenge between the Black and Yellows and Bayern would certainly generate significant attention.

Florian Wirtz bats away price-tag questions following Anfield debut
Liverpool's marquee summer signing Florian Wirtz has insisted that his record-breaking price tag will not affect his performances as he prepares for his debut Premier League season. The 22-year-old German attacking midfielder could become the most expensive player in British football history, with the total cost of his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen potentially rising to £116 million if all add-ons are triggered. Despite the scrutiny that comes with such a fee, Wirtz remains calm and focused. Speaking to reporters after Liverpool's pre-season friendly against Athletic Club, the former Bundesliga star made it clear that the financial side of the move is not something that concerns him. 'I just want to play football and how much money the clubs pay between each other, it doesn't matter,' said Wirtz. 'I came because I thought I could fit in this team and I am enjoying staying with these players. I am a player who needs freedom on the pitch and the manager gives it to me.' Wirtz also spoke about his role in the team and how he hopes to contribute in the final third, adding: 'I will try to find the right places to be and the right spaces to get on the ball and to be dangerous and create chances.' Having spent his entire professional career in Germany until now, Wirtz admitted that moving to England has been a significant step, but one he is embracing. He praised the support of his new team-mates, many of whom are also recent arrivals, saying that having others to share the transition with has made settling in easier. 'They tell me it's more intense and more physical and that every player is really strong, really fast,' he said of the Premier League. 'I am really looking forward to play there and experience some differences to Germany, but I think there is also something I can learn that will make me better.' Wirtz added that he is already looking ahead to the team's title defence, knowing the difficulty of repeating such success. 'The big challenge is to win the title again and it is the most difficult thing to do,' he said. 'I will just try to create chances and work hard off the ball and run a lot to help make the team better.' As the season approaches, all eyes will be on Wirtz to see whether he can match the hype and deliver in one of the world's most competitive leagues. If his attitude and early performances are any indication, Liverpool fans may have good reason to be optimistic. 📸 Carl Recine - 2025 Getty Images
