Inter retained the option to re-sign Fabbian after his 2023 move to Bologna. Yet, they will let the 22-year-old stay at Renato Dall'Ara.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri could've brought Fabbian back for only €12 million this summer.

Inter's decision could facilitate Fabbian's transfer elsewhere.
Despite missing an opportunity for a fresh start at the San Siro, the midfielder could still secure a big move this summer.
According to the same report, Lazio have set their sights on the Padova youth academy graduate.
Lazio's interest could mean they're preparing for life after Nicolo Rovella.
Meanwhile, Rovella has emerged as a genuine target for Inter amid talks Hakan Calhnaoglu could leave the club.

Samsonova saves two match points to oust Pegula at Berlin Open
Associated Press BERLIN (AP) — Liudmila Samsonova saved two match points before beating third-ranked Jessica Pegula 6-7 (8), 7-5, 7-6 (5) on Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals of the Berlin Open. The 20th-ranked Samsonova recorded 18 aces against the defending champion in a match that lasted 3 hours, 21 minutes at the grass-court tournament. 'I can't believe that I am here standing, it's incredible,' Samsonova said in her on-court interview. 'Maybe with the adrenaline right now I'm OK, but I think later it's not going to be so OK.' Samsonova, who beat Naomi Osaka in three sets Tuesday, saved two match points on her serve at 5-4 in the deciding set against Pegula. Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka's match against qualifier Rebeka Masarova was suspended overnight because the court became slippery. Play was halted after Sabalenka won the first set 6-2. Earlier, Ons Jabeur beat the fourth-seeded Jasmine Paolini 6-1, 6-3 in the second round. Paolini was runner-up at Wimbledon last year. Jabeur was a Wimbledon finalist in 2022 and 2023. Paolini was playing for the first time since winning the French Open doubles title with fellow Italian Sara Errani. Paolini lost to Elina Svitolina in the fourth round of the French Open singles. ___ More AP tennis:

Inter Milan Vice-President Confident The New Manager 'Will Do A Great Job'
Inter Milan Vice-President Confident The New Manager 'Will Do A Great Job' Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti has no doubt regarding the club's decision to appoint Cristian Chivu as the new manager. Speaking to Spanish outlet AS via FCInterNews, the former Nerazzurri captain reiterated his trust in the 44-year-old. Advertisement Inter had to act swiftly after Simone Inzaghi decided to leave the club in favor of petrodollars in Saudi Arabia. The 49-year-old's sudden decision to join Al-Hilal left the San Siro powerhouse in time limbo. With the FIFA Club World Cup fast approaching, Beppe Marotta couldn't afford to waste time searching for a high-profile replacement. Indeed, Como coach Cesc Fabregas was Inter's first option. However, the Spaniard turned down a move to stay at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Therefore, the Nerazzurri turned to a familiar face to fill the vacancy. Inter Milan Vice-President Javier Zanetti Highlights Club Trust in Cristian Chivu PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of FC Internazionale Milano, reacts following the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) Shortly after Fabregas' rejection, Inter unveiled Cristian Chivu as their new head coach. Advertisement Given his past ties with the club, the Romanian has an understanding of the weight of this shirt. As such, this 'Hail Mary' attempt could prove a major coup for the Nerazzurri. 'The Champions League final marked the end of a chapter, and now a new one begins,' Zanetti said. 'That's football – constant perseverance, belief in hard work and a project. 'And we're on that path now. We have great confidence in what Cristian Chivu can bring. 'I know him personally – we were teammates – and I can say he's a wonderful person. 'We know he'll do a great job here. This Club World Cup is a great test for all of us.' Advertisement However, Chivu could only manage a 1-1 draw against CF Monterrey on his touchline debut. Meanwhile, Zanetti sees other European heavyweights as the leading contenders to the Club World Cup throne. 'At the moment, I see PSG and Real Madrid ahead of everyony,' Zanetti admitted. 'They're doing very well.' But he believes in his team. 'A final between Inter and Real would be great.' Finally, he confessed he never tried to pursue a coaching career. 'No, because I've never really felt the urge to coach,' he added. 'But you never know. I never close the door completely.'
