There is one particular hitch in the idea of offering Fabbian to Fiorentina, however.
That is the fact that Inter Milan still have a buyback option on the 22-year-old.
Inter sold Giovanni Fabbian to Bologna in the summer of 2023. They sold him outright, rather than just loaning him out.
However, the Nerazzurri did insert a buyback option in the deal. They can sign Fabbian back this summer for a fee of €12 million.
Nevertheless, the Corriere report, that option expires at the end of this month. And as of yet, Inter have given no indication that they intend to activate it.

Lewis Hamilton Channels Michael Schumacher in Fierce Ferrari Loyalty Standoff
Lewis Hamilton Channels Michael Schumacher in Fierce Ferrari Loyalty Standoff originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Lewis Hamilton has thrown his full support behind Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur, drawing sharp parallels to Michael Schumacher's defining show of loyalty during his early days with the Scuderia. Advertisement Back in 1996, Ferrari was deep in a rebuild. With Williams dominating the grid and Jean Todt under fire from the Italian media, Schumacher famously stepped in. His message was simple and uncompromising: 'If Todt goes, I go too.' That moment of unity helped reshape Ferrari's future, laying the foundation for a dominant era. Now, nearly three decades later, Hamilton is finding himself in a strikingly similar scenario. The seven-time world champion has struggled to find consistent form in his debut season with Ferrari, while teammate Charles Leclerc has begun pulling away in both qualifying pace and race-day results. The pressure is building not just on Hamilton, but on Ferrari's leadership. Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton during the 2012 Monaco DILKOFF/AFP/GettyImages Speculation swirled in Montreal, with some Italian outlets suggesting that Ferrari are considering letting go of Vasseur if results do not improve. But the 40-year-old Brit didn't let the rumors fester. 'It's definitely not nice to hear that there are stories like that out there,' Hamilton said. Advertisement 'Firstly, I love working with Fred. Fred's the main reason I am in this team and got the opportunity to be here which I am forever grateful for. We're in this together.' 'We're working hard in the background. Things aren't perfect but for me, I'm here to work with the team and with Fred. I want Fred here. I do believe Fred is the person to take us to the top, so that's that,' he further added. The message was clear and reminiscent of Schumacher's decisive tone in 1996. Though Hamilton didn't deliver the same ultimatums, the sentiment was unmistakable: this is a long-term mission, and leadership shakeups won't be part of the solution. Advertisement Ferrari insiders say Hamilton has been actively involved in shaping the team's future, especially in areas like car development, strategy, and driver feedback loops. Sources also confirm that the relationship between Hamilton and Vasseur remains strong and focused on long-term gains, and not short-term panic. If history repeats itself, Hamilton's stand behind Vasseur could mark the beginning of something truly special.

Report: AC Milan eyes Tillman as Reijnders replacement
Report: AC Milan eyes Tillman as Reijnders replacement Show Caption Hide Caption Weston McKennie discusses the state of the USMNT ahead of World Cup Soccer standout Weston McKennie discusses the state of the USMNT and how Mauricio Pochettino is getting the squad ready ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Sports Seriously Malik Tillman is a wanted man. According to AC Milan is considering the PSV midfielder as a possible replacement for Tijjani Reijnders, who joined Manchester City this week. But Milan isn't alone in its interest, with the report stating Bayer Leverkusen and Roma are also eyeing a move for Tillman. Much like at Milan, Tillman would be a replacement for a high-profile departure at Leverkusen. Germany international Florian Wirtz is on the brink of joining Liverpool in a British-record deal worth an eye-popping €137.5 million. PSV's asking price for Tillman will be between €25m and €30m. The 23-year-old has emerged as one of the top players in the Netherlands since joining PSV ahead of last season, leading the Eindhoven side to back-to-back league titles. Tillman scored a career-best 16 goals in 2024-25 despite missing two months at midseason with an ankle injury. He'll now aim to impress with the U.S. men's national team at the Gold Cup, where he is expected to play a prominent role with Mauricio Pochettino's side. Should he move to Milan, Tillman would join his USMNT teammate Christian Pulisic with the team. Another USMNT player, Yunus Musah, is reportedly on the verge of leaving Milan to join Serie A champion Napoli.
