Report – Inter Milan On The Verge Of Increased Offer For Atalanta Talisman
This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri will tack €3 million plus €2 million in add-ons onto their bid.
Inter Milan have made Atalanta's Ademola Lookman their priority target.
The Nerazzurri made an offer of €40 million for the Nigerian earlier this month. However, Atalanta rejected this initial bid – giving Inter a counteroffer of €50 million.
However, that has not deterred Inter. Far from it – they are aiming to return with another offer very soon.

The Corriere della Sera report that Inter owners Oaktree Capital have authorized another, higher offer for Lookman.
The Nerazzurri owners have given the green light to a bid of €43 million, plus €2 million in add-ons.
Therefore, Inter are essentially ready to split the difference with their first offer and Atalanta's €50 million valuation.
The Corriere della Sera confirm recent reports that Inter will lodge this new bid this week. Likely within the first day or two of the week.
Therefore, Inter are clearly pushing to get a deal over the line quickly.

UK lenders face $12 bn plus compensation bill despite court ruling: watchdog
British finance firms behind high interest car loans could have to pay out more than nine billion pounds ($12 billion) in compensation despite the country's highest court ruling that most of the controversial deals were lawful, a financial watchdog said Sunday. The Supreme Court on Friday partially overturned judgments that the loans were unlawful, giving relief to banks which had been bracing for compensation claims from millions of car-buyers. It did, however, uphold one of the three cases, which allows the claimant to seek compensation. And in a similar but separate probe, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said that the cost of any redress scheme relating to discretionary commission arrangements for car loans would likely be higher than £9 billion. "While there are plausible scenarios which underpin estimates of a total cost as high as £18 billion, we do not consider those scenarios to be the most likely and analyst estimates in the midpoint of this range are more plausible," the FCA said in a statement. The FCA estimates that most individuals will probably receive less than £950 in compensation. The court ruling had given the FCA "clarity... because we have been looking at what is unfair and, prior to this judgment, there were different interpretations of the law coming from different courts," it said. "It is clear that some firms have broken the law and our rules. It's fair for their customers to be compensated," said Nikhil Rathi, chief executive of the FCA. The Supreme Court decision mostly overturned Court of Appeal rulings last year that it was unlawful for car dealers to receive a commission on loans without sufficiently informing borrowers. In some cases, the loans -- available from 2007 -- allowed car dealers to offer higher interest rates in return for a bigger commission from banks. The ruling means that dealers have some leeway when arranging loans, without requiring explicit consent from borrowers for terms that may benefit lenders. The case that was upheld involved Marcus Johnson, who in 2017 bought a Suzuki Swift from a car dealer in Cardiff for £6,500 including loan costs -- unaware that interest on the loan amount would fund a commission of more than £1,600. When the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Johnson, ordering FirstRand Bank, a South African based lender, to refund the commission plus interest, it sparked panic across the finance sector. That ruling was upheld by the top court due to the high level of commission Johnson was charged and the complexity of the contract setting out the fee, which limits the scope of other compensation claims. HSBC bank analysts had suggested before the trial that the total cost to the banking sector could have reached £44 billion. jwp/tw/gv Error while retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data

Singapore's GIC to take 25% stake in Spanish broadband venture, FT reports
(Reuters) -Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC is set to take a 25% stake in a fibre optic broadband venture between MasOrange and Vodafone Spain, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. GIC's investment in the company will be announced as soon as Monday, the report said, adding that its stake would be worth about 1.4 billion euros ($1.6 billion). The deal comes after Zegona Communications unit Vodafone Spain agreed in January to create the new fibre network company in Spain with MasOrange, with London-listed Zegona expected to hold 10% of the venture. The parties at the time of the announcement of the deal were also looking for an investor for the new venture who was expected to hold 40% of the business. Reuters could not immediately verify the FT report. GIC, Vodafone Spain, Zegona and MasOrange did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Zegona acquired Vodafone Spain in a 5 billion euro deal last year, as part of Vodafone Group's exit from its Spanish operations.
