Whirlwind Deal For Poland Star To Join Atalanta From Inter Milan Suits All Parties
A move for Nicola Zalewski to join Atalanta from Inter Milan suits all parties. This is the view in today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They highlight the financial side of the transfer for Inter, and the playing time for Zalewski. Inter Milan are reportedly on the verge of selling Nicola Zalewski to Atalanta. The Nerazzurri only signed the Pole on a permanent basis from Roma this summer. This after he had been on loan over the second half of last season. Inter will pocket a fee of around €17 million. This after they had signed Zalewski for a fee of €6.5 million. That gives an obvious clue as to why Inter were willing to negotiate so quickly to sell the 23-year-old. Nicola Zalewski Move To Atalanta From Inter Suits All Parties MILAN, ITALY – MAY 03: Nicola Zalewski of FC Internazionale competes for the ball with Nicolas Valentini of Hellas Verona FC during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Hellas Verona FC at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on May 03, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) While Inter do end up with a hole in their squad depth as a result of selling Zalewski, the Polish international was hardly a first-choice starter. And there was no indication in preseason that coach Cristian Chivu planned to use Zalewski. By contrast, Atalanta coach Ivan Juric had pushed to keep hold of Zalewski when he was briefly in charge of Roma. That is an indication that the Croat trusts Zalewski to play a big role. Therefore, the 23-year-old can get plenty of playing time at the Gewiss Arena, on the left flank which has been an area of need.

Hughes explains Scott decision and latest transfer potential
Mark Hughes said a change in Carlisle United's style of play was behind his decision to allow Cedwyn Scott to leave. The frontman left the Blues last week to join National League North side South Shields. Scott's second spell with the club had seen him on United's books since January, when he was signed by previous boss Mike Williamson. But the 26-year-old struggled for opportunities under Hughes and has now moved on. Speaking for the first time on the decision, Hughes told the News & Star: 'Cedwyn was brought in to fill a specific role for a different style of play, and that's not the way we're going to play now. 'So really his opportunities to play we're going to be limited. 'He wanted to play. I had a conversation with him and couldn't guarantee him lots of game time. LISTEN: Mark Hughes on Boreham Wood draw, transfer decisions and more 'Clearly he was part of our group and in pre-season did really well, but I think he wants to play week-in, week-out and I wasn't able to give him that assurance, so he's moved on and we move on.' Scott scored once in his second spell with Carlisle, at Fleetwood last season (Image: Richard Parkes) Scott, who made 11 appearances and scored once for United in his latest spell, scored on his South Shields debut in their 2-0 win at Leamington on Saturday. Hughes, meanwhile, has not ruled out more incoming transfer business at Carlisle. He had previously said that the focus was more likely to be on offloading players before any more arrivals. Asked if, following Scott's move, this was still the case, he said: 'I would imagine so, [although] we might have the possibility to bring one or more in, but we'll see over the next week.'

Man arrested for allegedly racially abusing Semenyo has been given conditional bail
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — A man arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during a Premier League game has been released on conditional bail, police said Monday. Merseyside Police said the 47-year-man from Liverpool cannot attend a soccer match in Britain or go within one mile (1.6 kilometers) of a soccer stadium in Britain while on bail. The man was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offense after Semenyo, who is Black, reported to the referee that he was racially abused by a spectator in the first half of Bournemouth's match against Liverpool at Anfield on Friday. The man was removed from the stadium soon after the alleged incident, which led to a brief stoppage in play. An investigation 'remains ongoing and we continue to work closely with the club,' Merseyside Police said. On Saturday, Semenyo, a 25-year-old Ghana international, thanked his Bournemouth teammates, Liverpool's players and the soccer community as a whole for the 'overwhelming messages of support' he received after reporting that he was racially abused.
