Report – Inter Milan Outcast Not Interested In Joining Sassuolo Amid Villarreal Links
Report – Inter Milan Outcast Not Interested In Joining Sassuolo Amid Villarreal Links Inter Milan castaway Tajon Buchanan reportedly has no intention of signing for Serie A newcomers Sassuolo. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Canadian wingback has found the destination unattractive. Advertisement Tajon Buchanan spent the second half of last season on loan at Villarreal. However, after failing to impress at La Ceramica, the Yellow Submarine decided against activating a €13 million buyout clause. Nonetheless, the Spanish club is once again interested in bringing the 26-year-old to La Liga. Inter Milan Flop Tajon Buchanan Not Interested in Joining Sassuolo BOLOGNA, ITALY – MARCH 09:Tajon Buchanan of FC Internazionale looks on during the Serie A TIM match between Bologna FC and FC Internazionale – Serie A TIM at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on March 09, 2024 in Bologna, Italy.(Photo by) (Photo by) Despite reviving their interest in the ex-Club Brugge star, Villarreal would only re-sign him on another loan. On the other hand, Inter are preferring a permanent transfer. Meanwhile, Sassuolo have recently joined the race, as they look to bolster their squad after securing Serie A promotion. Advertisement Though Buchanan would likely enjoy far better first-team chances at the Mapei Stadium, he's reluctant to move to Emilia-Romagna. Part of the reason is reportedly his fear of Armand Lauriente. Indeed, the Frenchman is Sassuolo's stalwart and an uncontested starter. Therefore, Buchanan sees him as a formidable competitor for a starting berth.

Buchanan ‘positive' after career-best ninth
Southland rider Cormac Buchanan recorded a career-best result at the technically demanding Sachsenring in the Moto3 World Championship yesterday. Finishing ninth, just 1.5sec from victory, after an intense 20-lap battle, which included a stint in the podium positions, the 18-year-old delivered an impressive performance in unpredictable conditions throughout the German Grand Prix. "It was a positive weekend ... it was one I was really looking forward to as it's one of my favourite tracks from when I raced here with Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup three years ago," he said. "I'm satisfied for this moment, but I want more." The opening day was more favourable than expected. Friday's sessions were held in dry conditions, allowing the riders to focus on fine-tuning their setup without having to deal with the instability of a wet track. Buchanan completed both sessions with increasing pace, although he did not make it directly into Q2, instead qualifying for the Q1 playoff. Rain fell from the start, leaving the track completely wet in every session. Buchanan showed off his natural talent in the wet, dominating Q1 and advancing to Q2, where he achieved an excellent eighth on the grid, his best qualifying of the year. In yesterday's race, Buchanan made a spectacular start, moving into third place early then remaining solidly in the lead group. Finishing ninth was an important step in his progression within the Moto3 ranks. "I got a great start and was P4 by turn one and then went into third and held that for a couple of laps. I got passed by some riders and I found it difficult to come back from that straight away. "The tyre didn't feel so great even from the early laps so I had to manage that situation. I dropped down to 15th but managed to regain some positions and get back into the top 10. "I was feeling really good and ready to make a charge but unfortunately the tyres hindered that. "It was a case of bringing it home safely which I did in ninth. I'm happy enough but honestly, within myself, there's an element of disappointment as I really feel like an even better result was on the cards today and I knew I could challenge." Meanwhile, Marc Marquez proved once again why he is known as the King of Sachsenring yesterday when the Ducati rider marked his 200th MotoGP start by winning the German Grand Prix in a race that became a test of survival after only 10 riders finished, Reuters reports. Marquez's ninth MotoGP victory at the Sachsenring stretched his championship lead over brother Alex, who finished second, to 83 points while Marc's team-mate, Francesco Bagnaia, finished third to sit 147 points behind. It was a fourth straight weekend in which Marquez had won both the sprint and the race.

Sassuolo have agreement for Inter winger as Sunderland continue Lauriente push
Reports in Italy claim that Sassuolo have an agreement in place to sign Canada international Tajon Buchanan on a permanent basis from Inter, while Sunderland continue to apply pressure for Neroverdi winger Armand Lauriente. Sassuolo agree deal for Inter's Buchanan, Sunderland want Lauriente According to reports from Serie B champions Sassuolo have an agreement in place with Inter to sign Buchanan in a permanent deal worth somewhere between €7m and €8m. Advertisement The 26-year-old has been on Inter's books for the last 18 months, but has only registered 16 league appearances in that time, most of them from the bench. That was largely due to a broken tibia that he sustained in July 2024, which kept him out of action for several months. Tajon Buchanan at Inter With no guaranteed spot in the Inter starting line-up once he returned from injury, Buchanan was allowed to leave to join Villarreal on loan with an option to buy in the most recent winter transfer window. The Yellow Submarine have since decided against activating their option to buy clause, which means that Buchanan remains an Inter player for the time being. Canada forward Tajon Buchanan (L) and Peru defender Marcos Lopez (R) battle for the ball during the second half of the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 group A match between Peru and Canada, in Kansas City, Kansas, USA, 25 June 2024. EPA-EFE/WILLIAM PURNELL That may soon change, though, given the reported agreement between Inter and Sassuolo for a permanent transfer this summer. Advertisement Sassuolo, meanwhile, have recently turned down an initial approach from newly-promoted Premier League side Sunderland for Lauriente, but it is expected that Regis Le Bris's side will continue to push for the 26-year-old's arrival.
