Maserati May Already Be Planning the MC20's Successor
Maserati MC20
is already five years old. The car made its official debut in September 2020, and the automaker might already be readying the supercar's successor. Maserati has recently filed a new trademark that sounds like a natural progression of the company's current naming scheme for its supercars.
The Italian-based automaker filed a trademark application for "
MC25
" to be used on cars and scale model vehicles with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. That seems like the perfect moniker for a new car that would debut this year. However, there's no public indication
Maserati
is preparing an MC20 successor as the company faces a chaotic industry.
Maserati's Difficult Future
Sales for the brand were
down 57 percent last year
, declining from 26,600 cars in 2023 to just 11,300 units in 2024. The brand has also culled its lineup in recent years, discontinuing best-sellers like the Levante and Ghibli, with replacements still a few years away.
The company also had to fend off rumors last year that alleged Stellantis was preparing to sell the struggling brand. Stellantis then reiterated its commitment to Maserati in April, confirming that
the brand was not for sale
.
It might not have the resources for a completely new car, but Maserati could easily make some significant upgrades to the MC20 for a new iteration. The automaker previewed what could be possible with the powertrain back in 2023 with the
MCXtrema
, a track-only super making 730 horsepower from the Nettuno twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine.
A new iteration of the car featuring revamped styling, a new name, and other performance upgrades might be in the works. However, we'll have to wait for something official from the company. It has a lot to sort out as it navigates the ever-changing auto industry.

What if the dollar has bottomed?
-- A recent rebound in the U.S. dollar may mark the end of its year-to-date slide, potentially easing pressure on European equities and resetting key assumptions across global markets. The dollar, down around 10% from January highs, has recently bounced following U.S. trade agreements with Japan and the EU. Barclays analysts say this move could reflect the early stages of a broader shift, particularly as speculative positioning against the dollar looks stretched and U.S. earnings and macro data remain firm. The rally in the euro, driven more by capital flows than interest rate differentials, has been a drag on European earnings, especially for exporters. Barclays' FX strategists expect the euro to weaken gradually, forecasting EUR/USD to fall toward 1.13. That shift would reverse some of the eurozone's year-to-date 'exorbitant benefit' from dollar weakness, which had exacerbated the impact of deteriorating terms of trade due to tariffs. European stocks have lagged U.S. peers in part due to this FX dynamic. Barclays says the stronger euro has hit corporate earnings harder than tariffs, contributing to a wave of EPS downgrades in export-heavy sectors. But a dollar turnaround may offer some relief, with the potential to put a floor under European earnings estimates. Medium-term risks remain. Concerns around Federal Reserve independence and potential rate convergence in 2026, especially if German or EU growth surprises to the upside — could limit sustained dollar strength. Still, Barclays concludes that FX is no longer a one-way bet. If the dollar has in fact bottomed, it would mark a meaningful shift in global equity drivers, the brokerage said.

Report – Inter Milan Could Try To Secure Atalanta Talisman With Player + Cash Offer
Inter Milan could reportedly try to convince Atalanta on a deal for Ademola Lookman with a player-plus-cash offer. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. The status of Inter Milan's pursuit of Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is still up in the air. It's been a couple days since La Dea's bombshell rejection of Inter's second offer for the Nigerian. They turned down a bid of €42 million plus €3 million in add-ons. And Inter are still mulling over whether to return with another improved bid. Inter Could Offer Player + Cash To Atalanta For Ademola Lookman BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 12: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta warms up prior to the Serie A match between Atalanta and AS Roma at Gewiss Stadium on May 12, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) As the Corriere dello Sport note, there are a few motivations for Atalanta not to want to sell Lookman to Inter. The first is that La Dea do not need to cash in after selling Mateo Retegui to Al-Qadsiah. Linked to that, Atalanta are reluctant to weaken their team further by selling yet another key attacking player. Particularly after also losing coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Meanwhile, the third reason for Atalanta to be reluctant to accept an offer from Inter is that they prefer to sell Lookman to a club outside Serie A. For that same reason, they're not keen to sell the 27-year-old to Napoli. Inter are still unsure of what kind of valuation Atalanta would even have for Lookman. If La Dea are to hold out for in excess of €50 million, then Inter will likely walk away from the talks. However, the Corriere reports, the Nerazzurri may not just raise the offer if they believe the valuation is reasonable. They could also offer a player going the other way as a makeweight.

Morata, a complicated case for Cesc Fàbregas and Como?
Morata, a complicated case for Cesc Fàbregas and Como? Everything seemed set for Álvaro Morata to join Cesc Fàbregas' Como 1907. But as the days go by, the deal is becoming increasingly tricky. Galatasaray, who holds the option to buy the Spaniard, is throwing a wrench into the works. On loan from AC Milan to the Istanbul club until January 2026, Morata is no longer in control of his immediate future. Although Galatasaray has not yet exercised the purchase option, they are now demanding financial compensation to release the player, estimated at over €9 million (€6M transfer fee + €3M salary). The catch? The player is no longer training with the squad, but he might be forced to stay in Istanbul. It would be a default choice in a team where Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi would challenge him for every minute on the pitch. On the other hand, Cesc is determined to bring him to Como, where Morata would return to a Serie A he knows well. But the standoff with Galatasaray could derail everything. After a month of negotiations, the Spanish international's future remains uncertain.
