Report – Inter Milan Identify Genoa Midfielder As Replacement For Exit-Bound Poland Flop
Inter Milan are reportedly keen to sign Morten Frendrup as a replacement for the exit-bound Piotr Zielinski. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Italian giants have set their sights on the Genoa ace. Piotr Zielinski has struggled to meet high expectations at San Siro. Like Mehdi Taremi, he joined Inter as a free agent last summer but failed to settle in. Therefore, the club has put both flops on the market as they need to raise funds for new signings. Inter Milan Eager to Replace Piotr Zielinski with Morten Frendrup MILAN, ITALY – OCTOBER 27: Piotr Zielinski of FC Internazionale celebrates with Lautaro Martinez after scoring his team's first goal from a penalty kick during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Juventus at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on October 27, 2024 in Milan, Italy.

Though their interest faded away for a while, they're back in the race amid Zielinski's uncertain future. As for the Pole, he will likely move to Saudi Arabia, considering only a handful of clubs can afford his salary. Indeed, Zielinski earns a whopping €4.5 million net per season.

Serie A club release ‘It's Coming Home' kit with St George's Cross
Serie A club Genoa have released a kit inspired by the St George's Cross - marketing it with the slogan 'it's coming home'. In a cinematic announcement video posted on the club's social media, an English narrator detailed the history of the cross now synonymous with the England flag. It highlights that the St George's Cross was associated with Genoa long before it was adopted by England. Genoa saw St George as its patron saint during the Crusades, with the once powerful Italian maritime city having embraced his symbol on its flag ever since. England, meanwhile, adopted the cross the cross towards the end of the religious wars in the 13th century, with English ships flying the flag of Genoa as a deterrent to enemies. Genoa have now reiterated their status as the original holder of the iconic flag by slapping it on their football team's away kit for the 2025/26 season. 'With St George watching our backs day and night, the cross stood strong long before football, and before England claimed it as their own,' the announcement video said. 'This cross stays with us, never moving never breaking. One club, one love. No walls between us, voices rise together like the tide. 'This chant don't stop mate. Same cross, same rhythm. It's coming home, innit.' The utilisation of 'it's coming home', the unofficial motto of England international football, comes just eight days after the Lionesses knocked out Italy on their way to the Euro 2025 title, with their finale victory in Basel ensuring that the European Championship 'stayed home'. Genoa finished 13th in the Italian top flight last season and kick the new campaign off against Lecce on 23 August.
