Milan also keen on Svilar as possible Maignan alternative
Mile Svilar's future is still yet being written.
The goalkeeper has not yet reached an agreement to renew his contract with Roma, despite negotiations that have been underway for some time. A stalemate that is fueling the interest of several top European clubs, ready to step in in the event of a definitive break between the player and the Giallorossi.

Chelsea have already taken their first steps, carefully observing the evolution of the situation.
However, as reported by Calciomercato.com, in the last few hours Milan have also shown strong interest.
The Rossoneri, struggling with the uncertain variables related to the future of Mike Maignan, consider Svilar a valid option to replace him.
The Belgian's profile is appealing due to his age, international experience and room for growth, and his name has entered a shortlist of candidates that also includes Marco Carnesecchi of Atalanta.

What Germany's Merz wants to tackle in Trump meeting
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday, with much to discuss at a time of trade disputes and ongoing war in Europe. During both of his presidential terms, Trump has triggered tensions between long-standing allies U.S. and the European Union. "The tone is as rough as it has not been in a long time," German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said in a speech on German-U.S. relations earlier this week. White House officials have not always found friendly words for Berlin in recent months, and vice versa. But there have been some signs of rapprochement, with the country's leaders now reportedly being on a first name basis after several phone calls. Building on this will be a top priority for Merz in D.C. "Top of the agenda for the German Chancellor will be to strike the right chord with Trump," Jörn Fleck, senior director of the Europe Center at the Atlantic Council, told CNBC. Merz's conservative views on immigration, his links to U.S. businesses — the chancellor is a former BlackRock executive — "and a profile as an old-school outsider who was underestimated but won an election by pledging to restore his country's economy and security," could work in his favor, Fleck explained. Export-reliant Germany counts the U.S. as its biggest trading partner, leaving it vulnerable in the face of Trump's trade agenda. Penny Naas, who leads on the German Marshall Fund's allied strategic competitiveness work, told CNBC that this is especially true for sector-specific tariffs, for example targeting autos and steel. They "hit industries at the core of the German economy," she said. "Merz will want to see if there is any room for negotiation on these tariffs," such as the U.S. and EU cutting all industrial duties to zero, Naas added. Trump's so-called reciprocal tariffs, which have also been imposed on the European Union, are also set to be on Merz's agenda, Franziska Palmas, senior Europe economist at Capital Economics, told CNBC. "He is likely to stress his support for free trade and a EU-US trade deal. He may point to the EU's proposal of a zero-for-zero tariff deal as an ideal outcome," she said. Negotiations between the EU and U.S. have so far been tough, but European Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic on Tuesday signaled talks were "advancing in the right direction." The Russia-Ukraine war will also almost certainly be discussed, especially after Trump's Wednesday phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. European leaders have pushed Trump to apply pressure on Putin, and Merz is expected to follow suit, the Atlantic Council's Fleck said. Palmas meanwhile said Merz would likely "reiterate Germany's strong support for Ukraine and the need for European countries to be involved in peace negotiations." U.S. support for Kyiv has been uncertain, along with Trump's focus on expediting peace-making between Russia and Ukraine — raising concerns in Europe. Topics like U.S. support for European troops on the ground, enforcing sanctions and sharing information may therefore come up, Fleck added. Another critical topic will be the NATO military alliance in which both Germany and the U.S. participate and specifically members' defense contributions. Trump has long been pushing for these expenditures to rise to 5% of each country's gross domestic product, meeting some resistance. Fleck noted that "Merz will want to make sure Germany is no longer seen as a laggard on defense spending and capabilities." Given Germany's recent fiscal reforms that allow for higher defense costs and its support for Trump's 5% NATO spending target, the German chancellor should have "a positive story to tell" on this front. Capital Economics' Palmas added that Merz may even use the occasion to announce a specific defense spending target.

€45M Rated Man United Star Opens Up To Inter Milan Switch This Summer
Man United striker Rasmus Hojlund has opened up to joining Inter Milan this summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri are aiming for a loan deal with a purchase option for the Dane. Advertisement Inter Milan have made Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund their top target in attack. The Nerazzurri are aiming to breathe new life into their attack with a younger signing. And despite Hojlund's frustrations at Old Trafford, his form at Atalanta two seasons has convinced them. Man United Striker Rasmus Hojlund Opens Up To Inter Milan Move MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 22: Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United reacts, during the warm up prior to the Premier League match between Manchester United FC and AFC Bournemouth at Old Trafford on December 22, 2024 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) Inter Milan have been working to convince Hojlund on the move in recent days. Initially, reports suggested that the 22-year-old was wary of making the move. However, according to the Gazzetta, there's been a turning point. Hojlund's view has begun to change, and he is now open to a move to the San Siro. Advertisement Therefore, it will now come down to whether or not Inter can convince United. The Red Devils paid €75 million plus add-ons to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta two summers ago. However, the Dane's value has dropped due to his underwhelming performances. Therefore, Inter will offer a deal worth a total of €45 million, reports the Gazzetta. The newspaper anticipate that Inter will offer an initial loan deal containing a purchase option with that fee. However, that option could become a mandatory obligation under certain conditions. Meanwhile, reports the Gazzetta, while Inter want to get moving on a deal for Hojlund, there would be no chance of them signing him in time for the Club World Cup this summer.
