Inter Keen on Real Madrid Starlet as a Fallback Plan

SEVILLA, SPAIN - MARCH 01: Arda Guler of Real Madrid in action during the Spanish league, LaLiga EA Sports, football match played between Real Betis and Real Madrid at Benito Villamarin stadium on March 1, 2025, in Sevilla, Spain. Inter will do their best to add Nico Paz, but such a chase is quite complicated, and, if they can’t land him, they wouldn’t look far for a fallback, as they are interested in Arda Guler. The Turkish attacker could depart to play more, TuttoSport informs. Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen are after him too. The presence of Hakan Calhanoglu would fast-track his integration within the Nerazzurri. He’s more offensive-minded than Nico Paz, but the brass is on the lookout for a forward since Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa will be out of contract soon....

Mohamed Salah plays during the Premier League match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield in Liverpool, England, on February 16, 2025.

The Polish striker turns 37 in August, but with Barcelona lacking space in their salary limit for a major signing, which means relying on his legs for another season. That is not to say that Barcelona have not been linked with various number nines in recent months. The received knowledge is that Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak would be their preferred target, while RB Leipzig forw...

The Magpies could probably do with bringing in someone like Aramburu as a long-term replacement for the ageing Kieran Trippier on the right-hand side of their defence. Eddie Howe is building a...

SEVILLE, SPAIN - JANUARY 25: Dodi Lukebakio of Sevilla FC in action during the LaLiga match between Sevilla FC and RCD Espanyol de Barcelona at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on January 25, 2025 in Seville, Spain. Sevilla have had a relatively good season up until now, and a big reason for this is the excellent form of Dodi Lukebakio. The Belgian winger had a rather quiet first campaign at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, but it is in 2024-25 that he is starting to come into his own. Lukebakio has made up for Sevilla’s striker woes, as he currently sits top of the club’s scoring charts with nine (all in La Liga). He will be hoping to add to that tally when Barcelona come to Seville on Sunday night, and given that he has already found the back of the net against Real Madrid and Atletico Madri...

Axel Disasi will spend the rest of the season on loan at Aston Villa, after a late-late move on transfer deadline day was confirmed following quite a few twists and turns in the last couple days. Disasi had been mooted to be on the transfer list all along in this window, having not seen much Premier League action in the first half of the season, but interest didn’t materialize until late.
