Report – Inter Milan Join Juventus & Napoli In The Race For Brighton & Hove Albion Midfielder
Inter Milan have reportedly joined Juventus and Napoli in targeting Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Matt O'Riley. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. The Nerazzurri are targeting a player with significant physicality to bolster their midfield ranks. This would be to facilitate the transition to a 3-4-2-1 formation under Cristian Chivu. One player Inter have reportedly considered as a target is Mandela Keita. The Parma midfielder is a player who Chivu is familiar with. However, the Corriere report, Keita lacks the technical ability in possession to make the jump to a club like Inter. Inter Join Juventus & Napoli In Tracking Brighton Midfielder Matt O'Riley LONDON, ENGLAND – MAY 25: Matt O'Riley of Brighton & Hove Albion celebrates scoring his team's third goal during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur FC and Brighton & Hove Albion FC at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on May 25, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) According to the Corriere dello Sport, though, a new name as emerged on Inter's list. The newspaper report that the Nerazzurri are eyeing up a possible deal for Brighton & Hove Albion's Matt O'Riley. Inter consider the 24-year-old to have a similar profile to that of Roma's Manu Kone, another top target for them. O'Riley only just joined Brighton last summer from Celtic. The Danish international was on target from the penalty spot in Brighton's Premier League opener against Fulham yesterday. But according to the Corriere, there is interest in snatching O'Riley away from the Seagulls. The newspaper names both Napoli and Juventus as suitors for the Dane. Then, Inter are also considering joining the race. The Corriere note that Inter have around €40-45 million left to spend in the transfer market this summer. Furthermore, that amount could rise with the sales of players like Kristjan Asllani.

Report – Inter Milan Slap €20M Price Tag On Galatasaray, Lille & Neom Target
Inter Milan have reportedly slapped a price tag of €20 million on Galatasaray, Lille, and Neom target Benjamin Pavard. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Recent reports have suggested that Inter are ready to sell Benjamin Pavard. The likes of Galatasaray, Lille, and Saudi Pro League side Neom have all shown an interest. Inter signed Pavard two years ago from Bayern Munich. And the France international has certainly had his part to play, helping the Nerazzurri to the Serie A title in his first season at the club. But perhaps Pavard, who turns thirty next season, is not in line with the future of Inter's project. Inter Milan Want €20M For Galatasaray, Lille & Neom Target Benjamin Pavard 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. (Photo by) The key question would be what kind of fee Inter would want for Pavard. The Nerazzurri signed the Frenchman from Bayern Munich in 2023. They paid a fee of around €35 million to bring him in. According to the Corriere dello Sport, though, Inter would be willing to sell Pavard for considerably less than that. The Nerazzurri would not, however, be willing to take a capital loss on the 29-year-old defender. Therefore, the Corriere report, Inter's asking price is right around €20 million.

Sierra Canyon's Mikhal Johnson is one of many difference-makers on defensive line
Sixth in a series of stories profiling top high school football players by position. Today, Mikhal Johnson, Sierra Canyon defensive lineman. Mikhal Johnson, 6 feet 2 and 255 pounds, has played defense all his football life. Then came the moment last season when Sierra Canyon coach Jon Ellinghouse gave him a chance to catch a pass from quarterback Wyatt Becker in a Mission League championship game against Gardena Serra. Johnson called it 'something out of a movie.' 'We practiced it a couple times during the week," Johnson said. "Coach called me over, 'We're running the play.' I lined up at tight end. I did a fake block. I go out, nobody is guarding me. This is it. Wyatt throws me the ball over my shoulder. I catch it. It was like, 'Yes.' I was so excited. My first ever touchdown the first time I played a skill position in my life.' Nothing comes as a surprise for Johnson, who also had a baseball game in the spring in which he hit two home runs and had seven RBIs against Camarillo. Ivy League football schools have been lining up trying to get him to consider their experience of academics and athletics. He had 16 tackles for losses last season. 'I think he's almost unblockable,' Ellinghouse said. 'I've seen him screw up several of my practices and go up against some the best high school players in the world. He's a perfect combination of strength and twitchiness. He has long arms and deceptive strength.' Johnson is one of many outstanding defensive linemen and edge rushers set to make an impact this season. The position might be the strongest of any in Southern California when considering talent and depth. Richard Wesley of Sierra Canyon changed his classification to class of 2026 because he's been a standout since freshman year and is a Texas commit. Mater Dei has the most dominant lineman in Tomuhini Topui, a 315-pound USC commit known for throwing around blockers and running backs. Khary Wilder of Gardena Serra, an Ohio State commit, is coming off a junior season in which he recorded 11 tackles for losses. Andrew Williams of Fremont is a 6-5, 220-pound USC commit trying to prove you can still make it out of the City Section. Sophomore Marcus Fakatou of Orange Lutheran and junior ElijaHarmon of Inglewood are big, strong and intimidating young stars in the making. Anthony Jones of Crean Lutheran is a UCLA commit known for his pass-rushing skills. Malik Brooks of St. Pius X-St. Matthias is a 330-pound tackle committed to USC who knows how to take apart double teams. Devyn Blake of Edison has the size to cause havoc. Elijah Staples of Marquez is a defensive end who had 13 sacks as a sophomore. Dutch Horisk of St. John Bosco is an Oregon commit who had four sacks last season. There's many defensive linemen this season ready to be difference-makers, and Johnson fits right in. He has used baseball to help him excel in football. 'I feel they both help me,' he said. 'Baseball is good hands-eye coordination and because I'm a defensive linemen I use my hands a lot. Seeing a baseball, the reaction time is like an offensive lineman using their hands.' Sierra Canyon is still trying to find a way to get past Mater Dei and St. John Bosco in the Southern Section Division 1 playoffs, a roadblock that most teams in Southern California have failed to get through.
