Ex Bayern Munich Star Changes Shirt Number At Inter Milan – But Isn't Off The Market
Defender Benjamin Pavard has changed his shirt number at Inter Milan, but he has not been taken off the market. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan signed Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich two years ago. And while he has made a big impact, there is a feeling that his form suffered a definite drop-off last season. Furthermore, the Frenchman will turn thirty next campaign. Therefore, there is a nagging sense that this may be the right time for Inter to cash in. Meanwhile, Galatasaray are reportedly eyeing up a deal to sign Pavard. Big-spending Saudi Pro League club have also sounded out a move. Then, two destinations in Ligue 1 have emerged in the form of Lille and Marseille. Benjamin Pavard Changes Number At Inter – But He's Not Off The Market SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 20: Benjamin Pavard of FC Internazionale Milano faces the media during the Training/Press Conference ahead of their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Urawa Red Diamonds at Virginia Mason Athletic Center on June 20, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) In the meantime, Pavard has changed his shirt number at Inter. For the past two seasons, the Frenchman has worn the number 28 on the back of his shirt for the Nerazzurri. However, the Gazzetta note, Pavard will switch to wearing the number five. This could very well seem like a hint that the 29-year-old will be sticking around. Nevertheless, according to the Gazzetta, this is not necessarily the case. The newspaper report that Inter will still be listening to offers for Pavard.

£50m forward DELIGHTED to give green light to Liverpool swap deal
Liverpool's transfer campaign this summer has seen the club spend around £290m. And in an effort to balance the books, they have parted ways with plenty of talent. However with Ben Doak joining Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz on the exit list - not to forget the tragic passing of Diogo Jota - it's left the Reds somewhat light on attackers. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Richard Hughes has completed deals for Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike but there is a suggestion that at least one more forward could be recruited this summer. Alexander Isak is the priority with the club keen to add the Newcastle man as the new No9 at Anfield. But a wide forward could also be coming in - and the Reds have also been linked with high-calibre players like Rodrygo and Bradley Barcola. Kubo keen on Liverpool move One more face which is familiar to Liverpool recruiters is Takefusa Kubo. The 24-year-old Real Sociedad winger has been on the radar for a couple of seasons now. A new report in Defensa Central now claims that the Japan international even gave his consent to a move to Liverpool as part of a convoluted swap deal involving Real Madrid. 'Real Madrid spoke with Real Sociedad after Liverpool showed some interest in the situation of Take Kubo a few weeks ago, a player whose rights the Merengues hold 50% and for whom the Blue and Whites are hoping to get 60 million euros (£52m),' the report reads. 'In fact, the white club even considered giving up the 25-30 million euros they would earn from selling the Japanese player, this being half of the transfer fee, in exchange for keeping Ibrahima Konaté.' Madrid's Konate plan fails So in effect it is claimed that: Liverpool approached Real Sociedad over Kubo and Real Madrid were willing to waive their share in any profits from the deal so long as Konate moved to the Bernabeu. Kubo was described as 'up for it', believing a move to Anfield would be a significant step up in his career. 'This is something the Japanese footballer himself was aware of, and he would be delighted to leave San Sebastián for Liverpool, given the leap in quality it would bring to his career,' the report states. However, this plan hit the buffers almost immediately. Kubo a Salah-type winger Despite reportedly sounding out Sociedad over a deal for Kubo, Liverpool backed off quickly and have since cooled their interest. They also wouldn't want to lose Konate under any circumstances - even if an unofficial asking price of €50m has been floated in the Spanish media. Kubo has made a good start to the LaLiga season - being one of Sociedad's standout players in their opening day draw against Valencia. The left-footer scored and was a constant menace besides. He is seen as a Mo Salah-type figure - cutting in from the right - and could certainly be a useful pick-up for the Reds in a remodelled attack. However giving up Konate was seen by Liverpool as too big a price to pay.

Report – Inter Milan To Invest €80M In A Midfielder & Defender Before Transfer Window Closes
Inter Milan are reportedly set to invest a total of €80 million in a midfielder and a defender before the transfer window closes. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. As the Gazzetta dello Sport notes, it has now been 52 days since Inter Milan have signing. The Nerazzurri completed deals to sign Petar Sucic, Luis Henrique, and Ange-Yoan Bonny in the early stages of the transfer window. Meanwhile, Inter also made the loan deal of Nicola Zalewski permanent (albeit they have sold the Pole to Atalanta). Furthermore, Francesco Pio Esposito has been integrated into the first team setup. But in the meantime, the Nerazzurri have gone after Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. This high profile transfer saga has been the soap opera of the summer. But it has ultimately gone nowhere. Then, last week, Inter made an attempt to sign Roma midfielder Manu Kone. However, the Giallorossi rebuffed their offer for the Frenchman. Inter Milan To Spend €80M In Midfield + Defense Before Window Closes PARMA, ITALY – APRIL 05: Giuseppe Marotta of FC Internazionale during the Serie A match between Parma and FC Internazionale at Stadio Ennio Tardini on April 05, 2025 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Now, there are fewer than two weeks left to go. And Inter will have to wrap up their business before the transfer window slams shut. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have €80 million to spend. Nerazzurri owners Oaktree Capital allotted a €100 million budget give-or-take to spend. And that is before the extra cash from sales. Therefore, while Inter have already spent a good chunk of that on Sucic, Henrique, and Bonny, they have also brought in some cash from sales – and are soon to offload Kristjan Asllani as well. The Gazzetta report that, after Inter's pursuit of Ademola Lookman failed, they are taking a step back from trying to sign an attacking player. Rather, the Nerazzurri's focus is in midfield and defense. In midfield, Inter still see Roma's Kone as a target if the capital club open up to a sale. However, if the Nerazzurri are unable to sign Kone then they will aim to sign a player with a similar profile. Rennes midfielder Djaoui Cisse is the latest name to emerge as a target. In defense, meanwhile, the Gazzetta anticipate that Inter still want to sign a young player for the future. They want to breathe new life into a backline still comprised of aging veterans like Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij. According to the Gazzetta, Inter are likely to target players from outside Serie A for both positions.

3 Small-Cap Stocks We Think Twice About
Small-cap stocks can be incredibly lucrative investments because their lack of analyst coverage leads to frequent mispricings. However, these businesses (and their stock prices) often stay small because their subscale operations make it harder to expand their competitive moats. These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are three small-cap stocks to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead. (CARS) Market Cap: $740.4 million Originally started as a joint venture between several media companies including The Washington Post and The New York Times, (NYSE:CARS) is a digital marketplace that connects new and used car buyers and sellers. Why Does CARS Fall Short? Market opportunities are plateauing as its dealer customers were flat over the last two years Estimated sales growth of 2% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend Falling earnings per share over the last three years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term At $12.05 per share, trades at 3.5x forward EV/EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including CARS in your portfolio, it's free. Matthews (MATW) Market Cap: $724.2 million Originally a death care company, Matthews International (NASDAQ:MATW) is a diversified company offering ceremonial services, brand solutions and industrial technologies. Why Are We Out on MATW? Annual sales declines of 6.5% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market Earnings per share fell by 14.8% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value Matthews's stock price of $23.52 implies a valuation ratio of 15.4x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than MATW. CTS (CTS) Market Cap: $1.22 billion With roots dating back to 1896 and a global manufacturing footprint, CTS (NYSE:CTS) designs and manufactures sensors, connectivity components, and actuators for aerospace, defense, industrial, medical, and transportation markets. Why Do We Think Twice About CTS? Annual sales declines of 5.7% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle Revenue base of $520.9 million puts it at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors exhibiting economies of scale Earnings per share have dipped by 4.5% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term CTS is trading at $41.55 per share, or 17.3x forward P/E.
