Inter are stepping up their pursuit of Tottenham full-back Djed Spence after his impressive World Cup displays strengthened the club's belief that he is the ideal fit for Cristian Chivu's system. The Serie A giants are now prepared to increase their budget as they seek to avoid competition for the England international.
Como are reportedly on the verge of completing a deal for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah ahead of Crystal Palace and Inter. The ambitious Serie A side have moved quickly to secure the centre-back, offering him the chance to play under the guidance of Chelsea cult hero Cesc Fabregas.
Inter have temporarily paused their pursuit of Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah to focus on other priorities, as the Premier League side await his departure before making a formal approach for Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix. The Italian champions are carefully plotting their next moves in the transfer market while maintaining strong diplomatic relations with Como.
Nottingham Forest are weighing up a move for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones as they look to reinvest the record-breaking funds generated by Elliot Anderson's departure. The Reds' academy graduate has reportedly expressed a desire to leave Anfield this summer in search of more regular first-team football under a new regime.
Trevoh Chalobah has prioritised a move to Italy despite attracting interest from the Premier League. Inter have stepped up talks over personal terms, while Chelsea could also use the defender in negotiations with Crystal Palace as they pursue Maxence Lacroix this summer.
Another summer, another Chelsea move for a high-potential, young star. This one, though, might just be different. The Blues sprung into life to hijack Inter's move for Atalanta prospect Marco Palestra, who has become the first signing of the Xabi Alonso era in a deal worth a cool €55 million (£47m/$62m).
Chelsea have officially confirmed the signing of Italian international Marco Palestra from Atalanta in a deal worth a reported £47 million.

Real Madrid are weighing up an audacious transfer strategy that could see former academy star Nico Paz act as the key to unlocking a deal for Inter's Alessandro Bastoni. Jose Mourinho is desperate to bolster his defensive line at the Bernabeu, and a complex series of negotiations involving the Argentine midfielder may provide the perfect solution.
José Mourinho has joked, during an exclusive appearance on the Beast Mode On Podcast, that he considers an ‘Invincibles’ campaign with Benfica in 2025-26 to be his ninth league title. No silverware was secured in Lisbon at the end of an unbeaten season, but the newly-appointed Real Madrid manager is rightly proud of an achievement that few clubs at the highest level can claim to have emulated.
New Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho joins Adebayo Akinfenwa on the Beast Mode On Podcast as he exclusively discusses his sensational return to the Liga giants, the World Cup and whether England can finally end 60 years of hurt, and some of the joyous, and panful, experiences he's had in management to date. Mourinho also chats openly about his time at Tottenham, and the controversial nature of his sacking just days before the League Cup final, among many other intriguing topics in a must-see episode of the award-winning podcast.
Experienced Netherlands central defender Stefan de Vrij is on the verge of completing an unexpected move to Panathinaikos.

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.

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.
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.
Real Madrid have set their sights on acquiring a new right-back to compete with Trent Alexander-Arnold next season.

The 2025-26 European season is over, and it ended just as the 2024-25 did 12 months earlier, with Paris Saint-Germain lifting the European Cup at the end of the Champions League final. Saturday's win over Arsenal in Budapest was a much tighter affair than their thrashing of Inter in Munich, but was greeted with no less joy by the French giants and their supporters as they clinched a double having already won Ligue 1.
The European club season drew to a dramatic conclusion on Saturday, with Paris Saint-Germain defeating Arsenal on penalties to retain their Champions League crown. Not since Real Madrid nearly a decade ago had anyone successfully defended the title, making his a truly momentous night for Luis Enrique's men. However, defeat shouldn't take any of the shine off Arsenal's historic campaign, with the Gunners having won the Premier League for the first time in 22 years.
