Lookman still waiting for Inter, but respectful of Atalanta

The situation has not changed for Ademola Lookman, who is maintaining a professional attitude with Atalanta, but also knows that he has Inter in his future and a firm deadline too. Over the last 24 hours, the Nerazzurri worked out deals to sell Aleksandar Stankovic to Club Brugge and Tajon Buchanan to Villarreal, putting together an additional kitty worth around €20m. This will give them the opportunity to increase the proposal for the Nigerian, which had reached €40m. As we already stated, an agreement can be reached if the bid rises to €45m plus €5m in add-ons, but there are other important elements to make clear too. Lookman patient for Inter MONZA, ITALY – MAY 04: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta BC celebrates after scoring their team's third goal during the Serie A match between AC Monza and Atalanta BC at U-Power Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) The first is that the deadline is confirmed, Inter will not drag this on after July 31, so if nothing happens over the next few hours, we'd suggest circling the days from July 28 to 30 for developments. The second matter is that Lookman is maintaining a very professional attitude with his current club. He was at the Zingonia training ground today, he saluted the fans, is always on time for his treatments, and evidently waiting for a turning point that in his mind only takes the form of Inter.

How Much Would AlQadsiah Pay Mateo Retegui?

Saudi club AlQadsiah pulled off a major signing on Monday evening when they landed Italian striker Mateo Retegui, in one of the biggest deals in the club's history. The 26-year-old joined Atalanta BC in 2024 and finished last season as Serie A's top scorer with 25 goals. Over his career, he has made 241 appearances, scoring 84 goals and providing 20 assists across all competitions. Memories captured, and the journey begins ❤️🎥#AlQadsiah | #ReteguiQadsawi — AlQadsiah Saudi Club (@AlQadsiahEN) July 21, 2025 According to Transfermarkt, Retegui was valued at €45 million, but AlQadsiah paid a reported €68 million to secure his signature. Reports suggest the Saudi club made a tempting offer of €20 million per season – nine times up from €2.2 million per year at Atalanta. The striker has signed a four-year deal running until the summer of 2029, potentially earning him €80 million. The move is seen as a major deal for both Al-Qadisiyah and Retegui, though fans' reactions were divided. One fan commented: 'He's a flop, honestly not worth €60 million.' Another replied: 'Top scorer in Serie A – the toughest defensive league in the world – and you're calling him a flop?' A third added: 'Honestly, a great choice. A huge signing and a masterstroke – Retegui is a deadly striker, young and a natural goal-scorer. Congrats to Al-Qadisiyah! A top-class striker, he is way better than Aubameyang. He walks with confidence – like a king.' Tags: AlQadsiahReteguiSaudi league

Former Premier League boss, 49, rushed to hospital with 'serious inflammation' of his upper airways ahead of first training session with new club

Former Southampton boss Ivan Juric has been hospitalised after suffering 'serious inflammation' of his upper airways. The Croatian was set to take charge of his first training session as Atalanta boss after replacing Gian Piero Gasperini at La Dea last month. But Juric, whose miserable tenure at St Mary's last just 16 matches, contracted a bacterial infection which caused part of his airways to become seriously inflamed. An club statement read: 'Atalanta BC announces that coach Ivan Juric was hospitalized in recent days at the Bolognini Hospital in Seriate, in the ENT department headed by Dr. Davide Panciera, following a serious inflammation of the upper airways, complicated by a bacterial infection of the epiglottis, which was treated with intravenous antibiotics.' Thankfully, the 49-year-old is 'significantly improving', with the club adding that a 'protected discharge is expected in the next few days.' Juric, who has also managed Serie A sides Roma, Torino and Genoa, joined Atalanta on a two-year deal in June. The surprise appointment came just three months after he was sacked by Southampton following their relegation to the Championship. He managed just two wins - against fellow relegated side Ipswich and second-tier Swansea City - during his 16 matches in charge. When Southampton's relegation was confirmed in April he pointed the finger at the club's recruitment while stressing the need to 'understand the mistakes the club made in the last three or four years'. Upon returning to the Italian top flight, he said: '[It was) a negative year on a sporting level. [From a] human and knowledge level, it was fantastic. 'I think I feel much stronger than a year ago, because [at] Roma I saw great clubs, great players. I learned a lot. In Southampton, I appreciated a fabulous Premier League. People who are in the club, who know how to work. 'I saw really beautiful things. In the Premier League, I also remember the level of the players, [it's] very high. I think two negative experiences on the one hand, and on the other, [it was] very positive for me and my growth.'
