1 - Milan continues to buy
According to slow motion, West Ham United have given up on bringing in Fofana, with Monaco asking €20 million and Milan raising their offer to €17 million.
According to the report, Julen Lopetegui is not interested in Monaco midfielder Wesley Fofana, which has led West Ham United to withdraw from the frays and instead seek to bring in Guido Rodriguez.
As a result, Milan is more likely to bring in Fofana from Monaco. Considering that Fofana's current contract with Monaco expires in 2025, the Monaco side continue to ask for at least €20 million, while Milan have raised their offer from €12 million to the current €17 million.
Milan and West Ham have already agreed a four-year, €3 million deal with Fofana, so Milan and Monaco will sign Fofana if they each take a step back and negotiate a transfer fee.
2 - Inter sells useless people
Transfer expert Di Marzio says that although there has been no official announcement yet, Sensi has in fact joined Monza and played in the warm-up matches at Monza.
In Saturday's warm-up game, Monza drew 2-2 with Sassuolo. Italy midfielder Sensi played for Monza in this game and prepared for the new season with his team-mates, wearing the Monza number 12 shirt.
The 28-year-old's contract with Inter expires at the end of June, after Monza had been hoping to sign him on a free transfer, and although Monza has yet to make an official announcement, his appearance in the warm-up game means Sensi has joined. In the 2022-23 season, Sensi also spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Monza.
3 - The Inter captain ends his leave on his own initiative
According to Sport, Lautaro will return to Milan next Monday and could be involved in training on Tuesday.
Lautaro was given 23 days off by Inzaghi Jr. after participating in the Perfect Continent Cup, but as previously reported, Lautaro will end his holiday early, with he due to return to Inter to train on 8 August.
Lautaro decided to cut short his vacation early because of Taremi's injury, and given that Inter's current starting line-up is made up of Thuram and Arnautovic, Inter are short of manpower at the forward end.
Lautaro is likely to return to Inter for training on Tuesday, so he will return to Milan next Monday to focus on preparing for the Serie A opener against Genoa on 17 August.
4 - Inter are talking about sponsors' asking prices
Inter News reports that Inter Milan are in talks with Gate.io about sponsorship.
After striking an agreement with the Betsson Group to become the club's new main shirt sponsor, Inter Milan still need a new sleeve sponsor as their contract with eBay expired at the end of last season. And Inter News reported that now Inter has found Gate.io. According to sources, Inter are in talks with the cryptocurrency company, which has a good chance of becoming Inter's new sleeve sponsor, a deal that will bring Inter €6 million in revenue next season. However, the report revealed that the Nerazzurri had asked the company to make a large payment in advance. This is mainly due to the fact that the club has painful memories of the last time they dealt with a cryptocurrency company.
This refers to DigitalBits, which was Inter's main shirt sponsor until the final stages of the 2022-23 season, when Inter decided to terminate the agreement due to insufficient payments. The club then reached an agreement with Paramount+ to replace it directly. At present, the two sides are still in a lawsuit, and Inter Milan is demanding payment of arrears in addition to compensation for damages.
Therefore, Inter would prefer to receive important guarantees before working with another cryptocurrency company.
