Inter news

Experienced Netherlands central defender Stefan de Vrij is on the verge of completing an unexpected move to Panathinaikos. The 34-year-old is departing Inter on a free transfer following a successful eight-year spell with the club, with advanced negotiations currently taking place to finalise the remaining details of his switch to Athens.

Chelsea have moved swiftly to secure their first major signing of the summer, reportedly reaching a £47 million agreement for Atalanta’s rising star Marco Palestra. The 21-year-old Italy international has chosen Stamford Bridge over a move to Inter Milan, handing new manager Xabi Alonso a significant boost ahead of his debut campaign in west London.

Liverpool have turned down a second formal approach from Inter for midfielder Curtis Jones as the Italian giants continue their pursuit of the Anfield academy graduate. The Reds are reportedly holding out for a significantly higher fee despite the player entering the final twelve months of his current contract.

Marco Materazzi has taken a fresh swipe at former team-mate and long-time rival Zlatan Ibrahimovic, sarcastically branding him the “greatest Interista in history” amid AC Milan’s ongoing instability. The ex-Inter defender also revisited Ibrahimovic’s 2009 departure from Giuseppe Meazza, linking it to the Nerazzurri’s historic Treble-winning campaign.

Inter Milan have officially announced that head coach Cristian Chivu has signed a contract extension that will keep him at San Siro until 2028. The former Nerazzurri defender has been rewarded for a sensational debut season in the dugout that saw the club secure both the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been warned that his starting berth at Real Madrid is under significant threat ahead of incoming manager Jose Mourinho’s arrival. Former Premier League striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes incoming full-back Denzel Dumfries could dislodge the Englishman if the tactical setup prioritises defensive solidity over attacking flair.

Leon Goretzka's immediate future after the World Cup remains undecided. Nevertheless, one German second-tier club already knows how it wants him to eventually wind down his career in a few years' time.

A deal for Ismael Saibari is expected to be announced shortly. An agreement has reportedly already been reached with Nathaniel Brown. Moreover, FC Bayern are said to be in pole position for a third target player.

Real Madrid are set to complete the signing of Denzel Dumfries from Inter after activating his €20 million release clause. The Dutch full-back is undergoing medical examinations in the Netherlands today, having been suspended for his national team's friendly against Algeria. An official announcement is expected following the upcoming presidential elections at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid have moved decisively to secure their first major signing of the summer, reaching a full agreement to bring Inter's Denzel Dumfries to the Bernabeu. The Spanish giants have opted to bypassed lengthy negotiations by triggering a remarkably low release clause to land the Netherlands international.
