Report – Parma Make Contact With Inter Milan For Fiorentina & Cagliari Linked Striker
Parma have reportedly joined Cagliari and Fiorentina in the race to sign Inter Milan outcast Sebastiano Esposito. According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Crusaders established contact with the San Siro chiefs earlier today. Sebastiano Esposito is not part of Cristian Chivu's project and will leave the club in the coming weeks.

Report – Italy Veteran Defender Set To Stay At Inter Milan Until Next Summer
Veteran defender Matteo Darmian will spend one more season at Inter Milan despite earlier doubts surrounding his future. According to FCInterNews, the 35-year-old will stay at San Siro until the expiry of his contract next summer. Matteo Darmian joined Inter from Parma in 2020. Though he initially signed on a season-long loan, the Nerazzurri made his transfer permanent the following summer. Darmian has since been a permanent first-team fixture under two different managers. Matteo Darmian Set for Inter Milan Stay In addition to his long-serving loyalty, Darmian is among the most experienced players in the squad. Furthermore, he even challenged Denzel Dumfries for a starting berth until the start of last season. However, the Dutchman had a campaign of his life, significantly reducing Darmian's playing time. Despite Dumfries' rise to prominence, the ex-AC Milan defender was still a useful cog in Simone Inzaghi's machine. Therefore, he will remain at Inter for one more season, which will be his sixth consecutive year at Giuseppe Meazza. While there's been no confirmation yet, Francesco Acerbi should also remain with the Nerazzurri for 2025/26.

AC Milan register interest in Jean-Philippe Mateta
AC Milan have signalled their interest in signing Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace, according to L'Equipe. Off the back of an eighth-place finish last season, Milan are keen to bolster their options in attack as they prepare for life under Massimiliano Allegri. The Rossoneri were previously keen on last season's Serie A top scorer Mateo Retegui, who is, however, set to move to Saudi Arabia. Milan have also been linked with Dusan Vlahovic, although the Serbian's wages are proving to be a sticking point. Milan's search for a new striker has now led them to Mateta off the back of an impressive form over the past two seasons, during which he scored 36 goals in 85 appearances across all competitions, while also winning the FA Cup. Known for his physicality, aerial ability and clinical finishing, the Frenchman offers a blend of strength and skill. Mateta was linked with an exit last summer, and while a move did not materialise, the 28-year-old hinted that his future in South London was uncertain. 'The club didn't want to sell me, so I moved on, and I gave everything to the team to help us get better results than those we achieved last year,' he said via GFFN. 'And when it is the right time to ask those questions, we'll ask them.' With just one year left on his current deal, Palace are keen to tie Mateta down to a long-term contract, but he is reportedly willing to depart Selhurst Park amid interest from several clubs. However, Palace's asking price of over €30 million for Mateta is said to have put Milan off at the moment, and the Serie A outfit could be forced to turn to other alternatives.
