Four-time World Cup champions Italy will miss the 2026 tournament after losing on penalties in a stunner to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Gli Azzurri took an early lead off of Moise Kean's 15th-minute finish, but couldn't capitalize on other chances to go further ahead. Haris Tabaković played the spoiler, leveling for Bosnia in the 79th minute. Italy failed to deliver on spot kicks, losing 4-1 in that round.
The race for Fisnik Asllani's signature is heating up, and Barcelona have firmly positioned themselves at the front of the queue. The Hoffenheim striker, who has also been a revelation for the Kosovo national team, has seen his stock rise significantly over the last few months, leading to concrete enquiries from several of Europe's elite.
