📸 Acuna and Dumfries brawl in Inter-River, Chivu steps in 😱
A high-tension finale between Inter and River Plate at the Club World Cup, ended 2-0 for the Nerazzurri thanks to goals from Pio Esposito and Alessandro Bastoni. Despite the victory and qualification to the round of 16 as group leaders, the atmosphere heated up in the final minutes and after the final whistle. The protagonists of a heated clash were the two wingers Marcos Acuña and Denzel Dumfries, who were already at the center of numerous contrasts during the match. The situation degenerated into a mini-brawl, culminating in a chase at the end of the match and the involvement of staff, teammates, and fans. 💢 On-field clash and rising tensions From the early stages of the match, the game between Inter and River Plate was characterized by intense physical duels and borderline clashes. The competitiveness increased in the second half, especially after the Nerazzurri's lead signed by Pio Esposito at 72'. Marcos Acuña showed increasing signs of nervousness, culminating in repeated fouls on Dumfries that were not sanctioned by the referee. The Argentine winger, unpunished, repeatedly tried to provoke the Dutchman, with the clear intent of getting him sent off for a second yellow card. 🧨 The doubling goal and the final fuse At 93' Inter finds the doubling with Bastoni, further exploding the spirits. Immediately after the goal, Acuña intensifies the provocations and verbal clashes with Dumfries. Advertisement The atmosphere becomes incandescent, recalling the tensions seen in Netherlands-Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar. The two teams face each other with increasing hostility, while bickering and protests flare up between the benches. 🟥 The mini-brawl and Montiel's expulsion Just before the final whistle, a real mini-brawl breaks out on the field. Among pushes, shouts, and moments of confusion, Montiel is sent off at 96' for protests. The nervousness infects both formations, with the benches trying to contain their respective players. The match officials struggle to maintain control of the situation. 😱 Dumfries chased, Acuña restrained At the end of the match, Dumfries runs towards the locker rooms, pursued by Marcos Acuña and some River Plate players. The opposing fans throw objects at him as the Dutchman quickly leaves the field. Only the timely intervention of Cristian Chivu and Argentine captain Franco Armani prevents the worst: Acuña is physically restrained by at least four teammates and staff members to prevent him from continuing. Dumfries, escorted, returns to the tunnel. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Report – Inter Milan Will Only Offer Teenage Sensation To Parma In Swap Deal On One Condition
Report – Inter Milan Will Only Offer Teenage Sensation To Parma In Swap Deal On One Condition Inter Milan would only consider a swap deal with Parma involving Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito on one condition. Today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInter1908, report that the Nerazzurri would only do such a deal in the event that they have a buyback option on Pio Esposito. Advertisement It is no secret that Inter Milan want to sign Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. Reportedly, the 21-year-old is one of the Nerazzurri's main targets in attack for next season. Inter have already begun negotiations with Parma to try and make a deal for Bonny. They have not, however, completed a deal in time for the Club World Cup.

(Photo by) There have been some reports that Inter could offer striker Francesco Pio Esposito as part of a deal for Bonny. This would lower the fee for the Frenchman. Moreover, it would certainly be a big incentive for Parma – as the teenage striker would be an instant like-for-like replacement for Bonny in attack. Advertisement However, reports Tuttosport, there is certainly no chance that Inter would want to actually lose control of Pio Esposito's future. The 19-year-old is still a major part of the Nerazzurri's future plans. Therefore, reports Tuttosport, Inter would insist on having a buyback option on Pio Esposito in any swap deal. This would be somewhat similar to the arrangement that saw Giovanni Fabbian join Bologna in 2023.

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.
