Dembélé wants to stay at PSG.
Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is reportedly weighing a summer move away from the San Siro, with Barcelona and several Premier League clubs monitoring the Italian international’s situation ahead of a potential €50 million transfer.
Alessandro Bastoni is considering a departure from Inter Milan this summer despite a contract running until 2028.
Reports suggest the defender is seeking a fresh challenge abroad following a “hostile reception” in Italian stadiums recently.
While previous estimates placed his value higher, La Gazzetta dello Sport indicates Inter’s asking price for the center-back will be “around €50m rather than €70m.”
The Italian international’s agent, Tullio Tinti, has reportedly been approached by Barcelona, though interest from the Premier League remains significant.
With a move to a rival Serie A club deemed unlikely, Bastoni appears destined for a new chapter outside of Italy. His exit would mark a major shift for the Nerazzurri defense as they prepare for the 2026-27 campaign.
Tensions boiled over in the AC Milan dressing room following a 1-0 defeat to Lazio, as Rafael Leao reportedly confronted Christian Pulisic over a lack of service, forcing manager Max Allegri to physically separate the two stars.
Rafael Leao’s frustration overshadowed Milan’s loss at the Stadio Olimpico after the winger reacted furiously to being substituted.
The Portugal international reportedly took his anger into the dressing room, targeting Christian Pulisic for failing to pass in key attacking moments.
Allegri downplayed the spat, noting Leao was “a bit annoyed because he had some situations where he could’ve had better service.”
The confrontation highlights a growing crisis for Milan’s attack, with Pulisic yet to score a goal in 2026.
Statistics show the pair have started together only seven times this season, producing just two goals in those fixtures.
With the strike partnership failing to deliver, Allegri faces a significant challenge to restore harmony ahead of a critical run of Serie A fixtures.
Newcastle United travel to Barcelona for a high-stakes Champions League second-leg clash with the tie delicately poised at 1-1, but Eddie Howe faces a selection headache as four key players risk being suspended for a potential quarter-final against Atletico Madrid or Tottenham.
Newcastle United aim for a historic quarter-final berth as they face Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Following a dramatic 1-1 draw at St James’ Park—where Harvey Barnes’ late opener was cancelled out by Lamine Yamal’s 96th-minute penalty—the winner-takes-all encounter kicks off at 5:45pm GMT.
Eddie Howe’s side enters the fray boosted by a weekend victory over Chelsea, while Barcelona remains unbeaten at home this season.
Disciplinary concerns loom large for the Magpies, as Sandro Tonali, Joe Willock, Joelinton, and Dan Burn are all one booking away from a Champions League ban.
Should any be cautioned and Newcastle progress, they would miss the first leg of the quarter-final.
Pundits have noted that Barcelona duo Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez “escaped bookings for cynical fouls” in the first leg, leaving them available for this decisive return fixture in Catalonia.
Coach apologizes for Dowman hype.
Galatasaray have promised their squad a massive €5 million windfall if they eliminate Liverpool to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, though the Turkish side must defend their 1-0 aggregate lead without suspended star Davison Sanchez.
Galatasaray’s hierarchy has reportedly promised the squad a €5 million bonus to overcome Liverpool in Wednesday’s Champions League decider.
Holding a 1-0 lead from Istanbul, head coach Okan Buruk remains confident despite the pressure, stating, “We beat Liverpool twice here, we can do it there too.”
Victory would secure the club’s first quarter-final appearance in over a decade and a significant UEFA windfall.
The Turkish giants face two major setbacks as they travel to Merseyside.
Key defender Davison Sanchez is suspended, and UEFA has banned Galatasaray supporters from Anfield following previous crowd disturbances. This leaves the visitors to face a hostile 61,000-strong crowd alone.
Arne Slot’s side will look to exploit these absences as they fight to overturn the narrow aggregate deficit on home soil.
