For the right-back position, Milan is considering Guelà Doue, the older brother of Paris Saint Germain star Desiré. This is reported by Calciomercato.com.
Strasbourg's request, aiming to maximize the player's excellent season, is around 20 million euros. The Rossoneri are evaluating the move.
Inter, Ederson is liked for the midfield
According to Tuttosport, in the event of a significant departure in midfield (Hakan Calhanoglu is the prime suspect), Inter would make a substantial purchase.

The chosen one by the Nerazzurri management is Ederson from Atalanta. The player is ready to leave, but Atalanta demands at least 40 million to approve the sale.
Napoli, contacts for Chiesa
According to Fabrizio Romano, Federico Chiesa's desire is to leave Liverpool in the summer and find a club where he can prove himself again.
The player's first choice is to return to Serie A, and Napoli has been in contact for some time, ready to seize any opportunities.
Roma, competition with Milan for de Cuyper
According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Milan is not the only club desiring Maxim de Cuyper as a new left-back.

Roma is also looking for a profile suitable for the new coach Gian Piero Gasperini's style on the left flank and reportedly had initial contact with the Belgian's intermediaries yesterday.
Lazio, Fabbian is also an option
Corriere dello Sport highlights Lazio's maneuvers in a crucial department for Maurizio Sarri: the midfield.
The first choice, as known, is Ruben Loftus-Cheek. If the Englishman does not arrive from Milan, besides Jacopo Fazzini, the option of Giovanni Fabbian is gaining traction.
Fiorentina interested in Ioannidis, but the price is high
Fiorentina is looking for a striker, whether as an alternative or even as a replacement for Moise Kean if he leaves.

A profile they like is the 2000-born Fotis Ioannidis from Panathinaikos. However, at the moment, the Viola considers the 20 million euros demanded by the Greeks to be excessive.

New Inter Milan coach Chivu: Club World Cup is chance to shake 'disillusionment' from UCL final loss
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Cristian Chivu believes the current Inter Milan squad should be remembered for much more than its historically lopsided loss in the Champions League final. The new manager also says the Club World Cup is an opportunity to alter the narrative of Inter's current campaign while he gets a head start on next season. Chivu praised his new players Saturday during his introductory news conference with Inter Milan, which will begin Club World Cup play in Southern California on Tuesday. He also realizes that many of those players are still reeling from their 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain last month. 'Of course, there is disillusionment (over) what happened at the end of the season,' Chivu said. 'The expectations were high. But what I try to tell them is that the road, the thing that they have done, it's something special, it's something amazing. Of course, the objective is important to be reached, but we don't have to forget the journey, because the journey is very important.' Inter's loss in Munich — the largest defeat in the 70-year history of major European finals — was followed three days later by coach Simone Inzaghi's exit for a lucrative job at Saudi club Al-Hilal. But Inter's season isn't over. The first 32-team Club World Cup provides an opportunity for the 44-year-old Chivu — the longtime Inter defender who then spent six years coaching the Nerazzurri's youth teams — to begin work several games early in the top job. 'It's still the season – last season,' Chivu said with a grin. 'It's not a new season, so we are here to do our best. ... I think we need to honor this competition, because this is what a team should do when you can represent your team in this kind of competition. There are only 32 teams in the world represented here, and this is a proud moment for world soccer.' Chivu spoke to the media at the team hotel for the first time since Inter's brief coaching search brought him back to the club last Monday. Inter begins Club World Cup play Tuesday against Mexico's Monterrey at the historic Rose Bowl in nearby Pasadena. Inter chose Chivu despite his lack of managerial experience. He had never been a top-level coach until last February, when he left Inter's under-19 team and took over at Parma, which avoided relegation during his 13 matches in charge of the 16th-place club in Serie A. Inter reportedly considered Como's Cesc Fabregas, Marseilles' Roberto De Zerbi and Genoa's Patric Vieira in its search, but team president Giuseppe Marotta said Chivu was a frontrunner in the race from the start. 'This wasn't a fallback,' Marotta said through a translator in Los Angeles. 'Despite what's been said, there was no confusion. We made our choice quickly, within 24 hours. There were just some bureaucratic steps to complete.' Chivu said he had to accept Inter's call when the job was offered to him after developing a deep bond with the club. He also knows the particulars of Inter's style well enough to coach the current team in the U.S. before making any possible changes for next season. His 33-man roster for the Club World Cup includes most of the key players from the Champions League run, along with summer signings Luis Henrique and Petar Sucic, but without the likes of departing striker Marco Arnautovic. 'I know this club, and I've been here before, for many years,' Chivu said. 'In the time I spent with the under-19s, I spent a lot of time with these guys, so I know them. I don't know if it's difficult for them to call me Mister, or to call me by my name. I know what kind of human quality I have inside this dressing room, and what I can give.' ___ AP soccer:

USMNT coach says star Christian Pulisic ‘need to listen, to stick with our plan'
The U.S. men's national team has made headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, and head coach Mauricio Pochettino piled on Saturday. Star midfielder Christian Pulisic went on a podcast earlier this week to sound off on his reasoning for sitting out of the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup, the last major tournament before the national team takes on the World Cup in 2026. Pulisic cited his need for rest and recovery following a grueling schedule with AC Milan in Serie A. In his absence, the USMNT extended its losing streak to four matches after falling to Turkey and Switzerland in friendlies last week. Pulisic said he asked Pochettino if he could compete in the aforementioned friendlies but not the Gold Cup, to which Pochettino said no. Pochettino elaborated on his decision in a news conference Saturday at San Jose's PayPal Park on the eve of the USMNT's match against Trinidad and Tobago. He did not mince words. 'Player no need to understand,' said Pochettino, 53, who was hired to be the new USMNT head coach in September. 'Player need to listen and to stick with our plan. He cannot dictate the plan because if not, OK, we swap the position (of coach and player), no?' Pochettino, with decades of coaching experience that includes stints at prominent European clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, made clear that no single player would determine how he runs the USMNT. His rationale for wanting a fixed roster for the two friendlies leading into the Gold Cup had to do with continuity. If Pulisic would have played in the two friendlies, Pochettino said it would be at the discretion of his staff to determine Pulisic's readiness for the Gold Cup and whether rest was indeed necessary for the USMNT captain. 'The most important thing is that we explain why we decide (to) not include in the two friendly games, and then if you have some problems, no, that is not my problem to understand,' Pochettino said. 'I think it's so clear that we say we want you to start training with the group, two friendly games ... it's up to us after to assess, to analyze if you need to rest or no need rest, because we have a group of professional performance, doctor and athlete and coaches. 'I respect and I understand him, I understand him, but I don't need that he understand our decision because my position is, I am 53 with a lot of experience in fútbol, in soccer, and I was player before coach.' One of the questions posed to Pochettino during a presser that lasted more than 30 minutes — and included promising 21-year-old midfielder Diego Luna, who did not receive a question until about 23 minutes in — referenced Pulisic as the best player. In response, Pochettino made sure to emphasize his team-first mentality. 'You say the best player, yes, he's a good player, of course, but he need to perform because I want to judge him like Diego, like another,' Pochettino said. 'If (Pulisic) performed well and he's the best, it's normal he's going to have a place in the national team. … When I signed my contract in the (United States Soccer) Federation, I am the head coach. I am not a mannequin, you know? 'I love to communicate, but at the same time, I want to keep that all the players feel the same respect from the coaching staff and from myself. If someone doesn't like this, OK, but this is we, it's we. We can win. We need to work together. We need to be all together. We, we, we, we, we, we, we. … It's about we, not about I.'

Big Al Ahly crowd, tight security for Club World Cup opener vs. Messi, Inter Miami
A sea of red descended on Hard Rock Stadium Saturday night for the highly anticipated Club World Cup opening match, as fans of Egyptian power Al Ahly traveled long distances to see their beloved Red Devils take on Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates. Although the game was being played 21 miles south of Inter Miami's home stadium, the crowd looked evenly divided. Al Ahly has 12 million Instagram followers and 30 of the 200 credentialed reporters were from Egyptian outlets. Michael and Sherina Zekri, natives of Egypt who moved the United States seven years ago, flew to Miami from Peoria, Arizona, with a group of 11 friends and relatives for the game. They are Messi fans but were rooting for Al Ahly. Other fans wore scarves that were half Inter Miami and half Al Ahly. The Red Devils fans roared when their starting lineup was announced: El Shenawy; Yasser, Dari, Hany; Ben Romdhane, Hamdy, Marawan, Trezeguet, Koka; Wessam. Inter Miami's Starting XI included: goalkeeper Oscar Ustari; center back Toto Aviles, right back Ian Fray, left back Noah Allen, center back Maxi Falcon; midfielder Sergio Busquets, midfielder Telasco Segovia, midfielder Fede Redondo; winger Tadeo Allende; forward Luis Suarez; and Messi, the captain. Jordi Alba, Gonzalo Lujan and Yannick Bright sat out with injuries. Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham, fresh off his knighthood in England, got a loud ovation when he was shown on the jumbo screen. Despite a roster that includes the Argentine eight-time Ballon d' Or winner, Inter Miami is the underdog in Group A, which includes Al Ahly, 30-time Portuguese champion Porto and Palmeiras of Brazil, a perennial regional champion that features Chelsea-bound teen phenom Estavao. The top two teams in each group advance to the Round of 16. Al Ahly is the highest-ranked African team in the world, a team that won that region's Champions League three of the past four years and has racked up 155 trophies over its 118-year history. Spanish coach Jose Riveiro, who was hired last month, makes his Al Ahly debut Saturday. Meanwhile, there is pressure on Messi and Inter Miami to prove that an MLS team can compete with some of the most storied clubs in the world. It will not be easy, as MLS has restrictive roster and salary rules, and Miami is in its infancy, in its sixth season, while Al Ahly was founded in 1907. Security was extremely tight for the match, which was to be expected after the dangerous gate-crashing debacle at the Copa America final between Colombia and Argentina at Hard Rock Stadium last summer. This time, there was a double-ringed perimeter around the stadium grounds. Fans without tickets who arrived at the first checkpoint by foot or car were turned away. Once inside the first ring, fans then had to go through a second security checkpoint at the stadium gates. The game was broadcast on TBS and livestreamed on
