We understand that an approach has been made by representatives of the club after their success in bringing Sandro Tonali in from AC Milan, with Newcastle asking the Serie A club their valuation of the Italy international.

But we are told talks are in the initial stages and a lot would depend on the asking price Inter provide.

Man Utd can't afford Osimhen

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has boasted that only PSG can afford to sign Victor Osimhen this summer.

De Laurentiis has placed an astronomical €200 million price tag on Osimhen’s head, a price that certainly now rules out Manchester United, among others.

Caicedo won't say no to Chelsea

Moises Caicedo has admitted that he “can’t say no” to Chelsea as his potential move to Stamford Bridge looms ever closer.

He told Ecuadorian journalist María José Flores: “It’s a big team [Chelsea], that’s true. A very historic team and I can’t say no [to joining] because it’s a very big, historic, beautiful team. The city as well is beautiful.”

Mbappe forces PSG to pay him for Real Madrid move

PSG could be humiliatingly forced to PAY for Kylian Mbappe to join Real Madrid this summer.

According to journalist Ramon Alvarez, the reason Mbappe wants to leave PSG next summer rather than this one is because he is due to receive €150 million in salary and loyalty bonuses in the next year.

Alvarez reports that PSG are set to agree to pay Mbappe part of the loyalty bonus providing the Frenchman leaves immediately. This is so that PSG receive a transfer fee and don’t lose him on a free transfer next year.
