Como withdraw from Chalobah chase
Como have withdrawn from the race to sign Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, leaving Inter Milan as the clear frontrunners to secure the England international. The Serie A newcomers had identified the 25-year-old centre-back as a key target to bolster their defence ahead of their return to the top flight, but have now stepped back from negotiations entirely.
The withdrawal removes a significant obstacle for Inter, who have maintained a watching brief on Chalobah’s situation at Stamford Bridge. The Nerazzurri are seeking defensive reinforcements this summer and view the versatile defender as an ideal option to provide cover and competition across their backline.
Inter advance on multiple fronts
While monitoring Chalobah, Inter are simultaneously pushing forward with talks to sign Union Saint-Gilloise wing-back Kamal Khalaili. The Belgian-based defender has emerged as a priority target to strengthen the flanks, with negotiations progressing positively as the club looks to build depth for the upcoming campaign.
Milan near managerial revolution
AC Milan are nearing a comprehensive deal to appoint Ruben Amorim as their new head coach, with the agreement expected to include the arrival of defender Mario Gila. The Portuguese tactician, who has earned widespread plaudits for his tactical work at Sporting CP, looks poised to bring the Spanish centre-back with him to San Siro as the Rossoneri overhaul their squad following a disappointing domestic season.
Roma prepare substantial bid
AS Roma are preparing a €45 million offer for a player at Marseille. The Giallorossi expect to submit the bid within the next 48 hours, with the substantial fee indicating a high-profile target. Club officials are working to finalise the deal imminently as they seek to add significant quality to their ranks.
Championship club eye Serbian star
Hull City have emerged as surprise contenders for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinković-Savić. The Championship side are reportedly exploring the feasibility of a deal for the Serbian international, though they face stiff competition from top-tier clubs across Europe who are also monitoring the situation.
International round-up
On the international stage, Kylian Mbappé converted a penalty to secure a 1-0 victory for France over Paraguay, marking the forward’s seventh goal of the tournament. Morocco delivered a commanding performance to defeat Canada 3-0, with Azzedine Ounahi among the scorers as they advanced in the competition.
