Parma Ask Inter Milan For Teenage Sensation On Loans In Talks For France U21 Striker
Parma Ask Inter Milan For Teenage Sensation On Loans In Talks For France U21 Striker Parma have asked Inter Milan for teenage striker Francesco Pio Esposito as part of talks for their own striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. This according to Italian outlet FCInterNews. Inter Milan are reportedly pushing to sign Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. Advertisement The Nerazzurri have identified the 21-year-old as their main target in attack at the start of the transfer window. There are even reports that they could try and bring him in before the Club World Cup next month. Therefore, Inter have been very active in starting the negotiations with Parma for Bonny's signature. Reportedly, the Emilian club would want a fee of around €20 million for the Frenchman. Parma Ask Inter Milan For Pio Esposito As Part Of Bonny Talks RIMINI, ITALY – MARCH 19: Francesco Pio Esposito of Italy U21 during the Italy U21 Training Session on March 19, 2024 in Rimini, Italy. (Photo by) According to FCIN, Parma have asked Inter about the possibility of singing teenage striker Francesco Pio Esposito as part of talks for Bonny. Advertisement Should the Gialloblu sell Bonny this summer, it would leave a big vacancy in their attack. Therefore, Parma will look to sign a like-for-like replacement for the Frenchman. And Pio Esposito would certainly represent a compelling option in this regard. Pio Esposito has come off the back of an outstanding season in Serie B with Spezia. He has scored eighteen goals for the Ligurian club. Should Spezia win promotion to Serie A, then he could remain there on loan for another season. Spezia face Cremonese in a two-legged promotion playoff, with the first leg this evening. However, should Spezia falter in that playoff final, then Inter will loan Pio Esposito out to another team in Serie A so that the 19-year-old can gain top flight experience. Advertisement As FCIN note, Inter believe Pio Esposito will be their and Italy's starting striker in years to come. Therefore, Inter would have no intention of selling the teenage striker outright. Or of loaning him out with a purchase option. This is why the Nerazzurri have strongly resisted the interest from Napoli in Pio Esposito's signature. In the meantime, Bologna are reportedly keen on loaning in Pio Esposito. However, it could be the Rossoblu's Emilian rivals Parma who have the advantage. They could utilize Inter's interest in Bonny to get a deal done for Pio Esposito on loan.

Tudor: We must match Bologna's physicality
At 20:45 (CEST) tomorrow, Sunday 4 May 2025, Juventus will face Bologna away from home on Matchday 35 of the Serie A season. This is what Coach Igor Tudor had to say ahead of the challenge against the Emilian side in today's press conference. 'The squad are motivated and ready to face an important match like tomorrow's (Sunday 4 May 2025) against Bologna. Douglas Luiz's fitness is improving, he's working hard and tomorrow he'll be able to give the team a hand. In defence we are missing a few players, but I'm sure that those who will play will do well. [Andrea] Cambiaso and [Nicolo] Savona, due to their characteristics, can play as central defenders, if necessary, in a three-man defence. Andrea is better, he trained well this week, he is gaining fitness. No injured players will be returning for the match against the Emilian side. [Teun] Koopmeiners is still out, even [Dusan] Vlahovic is not yet 100 per cent. I had hoped to at least call him up to the squad, but he didn't feel up to it. Apart from them, of course, [Kenan] Yildiz won't be there. We will miss Kenan's qualities, but whoever plays in his place will be up to the challenge and will be important for us. Tomorrow Yildiz will watch the game from the stands to be close to his teammates. 'Everyone will have to make their contribution in these final four games, starting with the match against Bologna. Everyone will have to think only of the good of the team. We have worked hard on a daily basis to prepare for this match. Bologna have a solid base that has been built up over the years and they have a free flowing approach. Moreover, they are a team that run a lot and are athletically strong. Bologna's characteristics are those of an extremely physical team, difficult to face because they never give up, and in modern football physicality cancels out so much quality. It will be fundamental, therefore, to play a physical game, and match their level. Only then can our quality be used to make the difference. You cannot play for a draw. In my career I have never played for a draw, and I am sure that my boys will also play to win, they will not make any calculations. The result of tomorrow's match will be worth a lot, but it will not be decisive.'

Report – Inter Milan & Bologna To Hold Talks Over €40M Rated Striker At The End Of The Season
Inter Milan and Bologna will hold talks for striker Santiago Castro at the end of the season. This according to Italian outlet They report that the Rossoblu want €40 million for the 20-year-old, but that Inter are not giving up. Inter Milan have identified Bologna striker Santiago Castro as one of their major targets in attack this summer. That is hardly a secret. The Nerazzurri are keen to make a big attacking signing this summer. The likes of Joaquin Correa and Marko Arnautovic are out of contract with Inter at the end of next month. And reportedly Mehdi Taremi could follow them out the door. Therefore, Inter want to bolster their attack with a young talent capable of inheriting a starting spot. According to Bologna are not keen to sell Castro, however. Rather, the Emilian club want to keep the Argentine for one more season. CM report that Bologna could offer Castro a pay increase to convince him to stay at the club. The 20-year-old currently earns around €500,000 net per season. Moreover, Bologna are likely to be playing European football next season. And possibly even in the Champions League. Therefore, the Rossoblu are hoping that this can motivate Castro to remain for one more year. Then, Bologna would aim to increase the Argentine's value and sell him on next summer in all likelihood. As it is, CM anticipate, Bologna will not let Castro go for cheap. They'd want a fee of at least €40 million for their star striker. But according to CM, Inter Milan are determined to sign . The Nerazzurri see the Bologna striker as the perfect young player to add to their project. At twenty years of age, Castro would certainly fulfill the remit of Inter owners Oaktree Capital to build around young players. Therefore, Inter would be willing to make an investment in the Argentine. For the present, and especially for the future. Inter Vice-President Javier Zanetti in particularly is a fan of his compatriot Castro. Therefore, CM reports, there is little doubt that Inter will make a serious attempt to sign the 20-year-old. The outlet anticipates that there will be direct talks between Inter and Bologna soon. The clubs could begin negotiations right at the end of the current season. These could be decisive for laying the groundwork for a potential transfer of Castro to the Nerazzurri this summer.

They have arguably been the form team for all of Serie A since the start of 2025. Inter certainly won't be underestimating the Rossoblu after the last meeting. The Emilian team snatched a deserved draw in the reverse fixture in January. In attack, Inter will be without striker Marcus Thuram due to injury. That will mean that Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi has to rotate in attack. However, the former West Ham United striker has had some physical issues of his own.
