Inter Milan & Argentina Starlet Declares ‘FIFA Club World Cup Helped Me A Lot, Vieira Convinced Me To Join Genoa'
Valentin Carboni says the Club World Cup with Inter Milan 'helped' him, while Patrick Vieira was key in convincing him to join Genoa. The 20-year-old spoke to Ligurian newspaper Il Secolo XIX, via FCInter1908, in an interview in today's print edition. It has been a busy summer for attacking midfielder Valentin Carboni. The Argentine had spent the majority of last season on the sidelines recovering from a knee injury that he'd suffered in the fall. However, Carboni was part of the Inter squad at the Club World Cup this summer. And the young attacking midfielder got his share of playing time at that tournament. Not only that, Carboni enjoyed something of a star turn. The 20-year-old came off the bench to score Inter's stoppage time winner in a group stage match against Urawa Red Diamonds. Now, Carboni has joined Genoa on loan. He will hope that this spell with the Grifone provides him with the platform to play regularly in Serie A and really hit his stride. Valentin Carboni: 'Club World Cup Helped Me, Vieira Convinced Me To Join Genoa' CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – JUNE 30: Valentin Carboni #45 of FC Internazionale Milano is challenged by Hercules #35 of Fluminense FC during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 round of 16 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Fluminense FC at Bank of America Stadium on June 30, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) Valentin Carboni descried his goal against Urawa Reds as 'liberating.' 'I was just coming back after a few months,' the Argentine noted. 'That tournament was important for me.' Carboni called it 'a perfect comeback.' He aded that 'I'll use it as a starting point.' Then, the 20-year-old said that 'I'm feeling good physically.' 'I've joined up with [Genoa] a bit late, but I started working with the group. They're slowly getting me back to the best shape possible.' Meanwhile, Carboni commented that he 'already knew there was interest' from Genoa. 'But with the injury at Marseille, I wasn't playing.' 'The Club World Cup with Inter was a chance for me to show that I had recovered,' added the Argentine. And as far as joining Genoa, Carboni said that 'The fans, the stadium, an Vieira calling me convinced me.'

Football fans declare Swedish striker the new 'world's sexiest footballer', taking over from Alisha Lehmann, as she signs for Serie A club
Supporters have flocked to declare the world's newest 'sexiest footballer' after a Serie A club announced her as their newest arrival on social media. Swedish striker Alice Sondergaard completed her move to Genoa earlier this month and posed for a series of striking photos posted on the club's Instagram page. Sondergaard has already made waves at the top level, having received her first call-up for her country at the tender age of 15. She will now look to keep Genoa in the Italian top-flight after they were promoted to the division for the very first time. Blessed with an eye for goal, Sondergaard was crucial to Bologna's superb campaign last time out, a club which fought Genoa for a spot in the top-flight until the bitter end. She previously played for Verona, also in Italy, and scored plenty of goals in Serie B. But her latest high-profile move has seen her thrust into the spotlight again and supporters were quick to focus on her beauty, even placing her on a pedestal above glamorous Juventus and Switzerland superstar Alisha Lehmann. Supporters flocked to declare Alice Sondergaard as the world's newest 'sexiest footballer' Sondergaard completed her move to Genoa in Serie A and posed for a series of photos Social media users left a series of cheeky comments under the post announcing her arrival Sondergaard may have taken the accolade from Juventus and Switzerland's Alisha Lehmann 'It's official, the most beautiful footballer alive,' said one Instagram user. Another cheekily added: 'Always been a fan of Genoa.' A third then said: 'They got me on the women's team this year.' Meanwhile, a fourth posted: 'Subscription right away.' Until seemingly being dethroned by Swedish sensation Sondergaard, Lehmann had been dubbed the world's sexiest footballer. Lehmann, who used to date Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, is Switzerland's most famous player, boasting 16.7million followers on Instagram and 12m on TikTok. The duo first began dating back in 2021, before they broke up a year later and rekindled at the start of 2024. However, they reportedly then split again. She was given her own bodyguard at the Women's Euros this summer due to her significant popularity. Lehmann is often the target for autographs or selfies.
