Report – Atalanta Could Give Inter Milan Discount For Nigeria Stalwart But On One Condition
Atalanta have yet to respond to the final offer made by Inter Milan for their headline forward Ademola Lookman. According to FCInterNews, there's only one way for the Nerazzurri to change La Dea's mind. Indeed, Ivan Juric's charges are open to discussing the transfer fee, but on one condition. They've already informed the San Siro club of their €50 million asking price and unpreparedness to budge on it. However, there's still a small wriggle room. Atalanta Open to Handing Inter Milan Discount for Ademola Lookman TURIN, ITALY – MARCH 09: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the Serie A match between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium on March 09, 2025 in Turin, Italy.

Meanwhile, the former Europa League winners are stubbornly holding out for their valuation. However, they're well aware of the 27-year-old's stance and his determined desire to join the Nerazzurri. Therefore, there's still hope for Inter that they could wrap the deal up in the coming days. Yet, it will require another adjustment to their proposal. Indeed, Atalanta will reportedly let Lookman go if they get €45 million upfront plus €2-3 million in add-ons.

⚡️ Hakimi, Danilo, Wesley 🤑 Full-backs' price ranking 👀
The market often follows trends, and one of the most evident in recent years is the ever-growing focus on full-backs. Football has changed, and with it, so has the role of wide players, who have become key pieces for coaches who favor all-out wing play. Watch all of Napoli's friendlies LIVE on OneFootball! Click here from the app to purchase Napoli-Stade Brestois 29. Clubs are looking for complete profiles, capable of covering both the offensive and defensive phases, ideal for adapting to a back three but also for consistently pushing down the flanks. Such players are few, in high demand and — inevitably — expensive. Because today, those who can excel at both phases are rare commodities. 🆕 NEW FACES FOR THE FLANK In recent years, Serie A has established itself as fertile ground for the growth and explosion of the best full-backs on the international scene. Even in this transfer window, two new faces promise to make their mark. The first is Luis Henrique, a winger who started as an attacking wide player, arriving at Inter from Marseille for 23 million euros. He has already made his debut with the Nerazzurri at the Club World Cup. The other is Wesley. He played a starring role in the tournament in the United States with Flamengo, but just yesterday he was welcomed by Roma, who convinced the Brazilian club to let him go by paying 25 million euros plus 5 in bonuses. 📊 HAKIMI LEADS: THE MOST EXPENSIVE FULL-BACKS IN SERIE A Impressive numbers, but not enough to dethrone the major signings of recent years in Serie A for this position. On the podium of the most expensive signings we find Danilo (37 million to Juventus) and João Cancelo (40.4 million, also to the Bianconeri), but at the top of the list is him: Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan wide player was bought by Inter in 2020 for 43 million euros from Real Madrid, after a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund. In just one year he made his mark, contributing to the Nerazzurri's league title before being sold to PSG for 68 million. With the Parisians, just a few months ago, he climbed to the top of Europe, beating in the final the team that had launched him. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

How Cristian Chivu Plans To Transform Inter Milan From Predictable To Dynamic & Fluid
New head coach Cristian Chivu is reportedly keen to make Inter Milan less predictable by introducing greater tactical flexibility. According to Sky Sport via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri faithful can expect a more fluid attacking pattern next term. Inter had been nothing if not predictable under Simone Inzaghi. Indeed, the former manager was reluctant to stray away from his trademark 3-5-2 formation. However, it often had devastating consequences throughout the 2024/25 season, resulting in a rare trophyless campaign. Cristian Chivu Plans to Make Inter Milan Less Predictable SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 21: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of FC Internazionale Milano, looks on during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between FC Internazionale Milano and Urawa Red Diamonds at Lumen Field on June 21, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) Cristian Chivu wants to break the pattern without making profound changes. Therefore, Inter will line up in a similar set-up. However, Chivu will transform Inzaghi's 3-5-2 into a 3-4-2-1 with one crucial difference. Offensive players will have more freedom, which explains the club's strong interest in Ademola Lookman. Indeed, the Romanian tactician wants Inter to be more fluid in the final third, which requires minor personnel changes. Furthermore, he hopes the Nerazzurri to be more aggressive off the ball and focus on forcing high turnovers.

Report – Juventus Plan To Hijack Inter Milan Pursuit Of Parma Starlet In 2026
Juventus reportedly intend to beat Inter Milan to the signature of Parma youngster Giovanni Leoni next year. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Bianconeri cannot make a tangible proposal for the 18-year-old this summer. Indeed, strapped for cash, Juventus must postpone their pursuit of the prodigious defender until 2026. Meanwhile, Juve's plan to open talks for Giovanni Leoni next year aligns perfectly with Parma's intentions. The Crusaders are desperate to keep their rising star at Ennio Tardini for the 2025/26 season. Juventus Set to Rival Inter Milan for Giovanni Leoni UDINE, ITALY – MARCH 01: Giovanni Leoni of Parma reacts at the end of the Serie A match between Udinese and Parma at Stadio Friuli on March 01, 2025 in Udine, Italy. (Photo by) Juventus' ambition to sign Leoni threatens to undermine Inter's long-standing interest in the Italian starlet. Despite genuinely trying to reunite Leoni with Cristian Chivu, the Nerazzurri have no funds to make it happen. Indeed, everything hinges on player sales. After exhausting the budget, Inter will make one last purchase in the shape of Ademola Lookman. Therefore, all remaining incoming deals will depend entirely on outgoing transfers. With Juventus ready to enter the race in 2026, Inter would be wise to take concrete action this summer.
