According to Gazzetta, Juventus have already inquired about Clauss, a player with whom both Juventus' director and coach Igor Tudor are familiar and appreciate.

The 32-year-old is under contract with Nice until 2026, but his club have an option to extend to 2027.

His price tag is between €7m and €10m, but he's not the only right-back on Juventus' agenda, as the Bianconeri are also monitoring Silvan Widmer (Mainz, formerly of Udinese), Dodò (Fiorentina), and Marco Palestra (Atalanta).

Kaylee McKeown tops rival Regan Smith for another major title at swimming worlds
Australia's Kaylee McKeown edged American Regan Smith to win gold in the women's 100-meter backstroke final Tuesday at the swimming world championships in Singapore, a blistering-fast edition of the rivalry between two of the best in the sport. McKeown won in 57.16 seconds, just missing the world record, with Smith just behind in 57.35 for silver. Both were among the top five times in the event's history. American Katharine Berkoff took bronze in 58.15. Smith was a fraction ahead at the 50-meter mark, but McKeown passed her in those final meters for her second world title in the event. It's the fourth time in four tries that McKeown has outpaced Smith in the event at either the Olympics or world championships. Smith also took silver behind McKeown at the Paris Olympics and the 2023 worlds and earned bronze in the Tokyo Olympics behind McKeown and Canada's Kylie Masse. Smith won gold at the 2022 worlds, which McKeown did not compete in. Smith's time was her third-best ever and is now the fifth best in the event's history. However, one of those four superior times was McKeown's in the lane next to her on Tuesday. 'What more can you do? I have no control over how fast Kaylee swims,' Smith said in an interview on Peacock. 'I'm going to choose not to be frustrated — 57.35 is pretty fantastic.' Though McKeown has owned the biggest meets, the rivalry is still one of the best in swimming. Smith is the current world-record holder, setting the mark of 57.12 at last year's U.S. Olympic trials. She also set the Olympic record of 57.28 in Paris — the event's second-best time ever before Tuesday — but it came in the women's medley relay, in which the U.S. beat McKeown's Australian squad for gold. In the individual 100-meter final, McKeown beat Smith 57.33 to 57.66. McKeown now has five world championship golds and 13 overall medals. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.

Inter Milan Struggle To Unload Three Fringe Players Who Only Want Serie A Moves
Out-of-favour Inter Milan players Kristjan Asllani, Sebastiano Esposito, and Tomas Palacios only want moves to teams within Serie A this summer. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri could struggle to offload the trio. Inter Milan have already made a few signings this summer. And they are in the midst of an increasingly bitter transfer soap opera trying to sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta. And going the other way, Inter have also made notable sales of the likes of Aleksandar Stankovic and Tajon Buchanan. However, Inter still want to make more sales. They want to collect fees for a few players who are not part of their first-team plans, rather than loaning them out. Inter Trio Asllani, Esposito & Palacios Insisting On Serie A Moves FLORENCE, ITALY – DECEMBER 4: Sebastiano Esposito of Empoli FC in action during the Coppa Italia match between ACF Fiorentina and Empoli FC at Artemio Franchi on December 4, 2024 in Florence, Italy. (Photo by) Midfielder Kristjan Asllani is a player who looks to be out of the picture at Inter. However, the Nerazzurri want a fee of €18 million for the Albanian. And that is not an easy figure for interested clubs to meet. Furthermore, the Corriere note, Asllani only wants to leave Inter if it is for another team in Serie A. He has rejected the idea of going to Real Betis. Similarly, the Corriere report, Sebastiano Esposito only wants a move within Serie A. The 23-year-old is a target for Fiorentina and Cagliari.

Marseille signs Brazilian winger Paixão from Feyenoord to boost attacking options
Ligue 1 club Marseille has bolstered its attack by signing Brazilian winger Igor Paixão from Feyenoord in a deal that could rise to 35 million euros ($40.6 million). The 25-year-old Paixão scored 18 goals in 47 games last season and was voted the Dutch player of the season. Marseille beat competition from newly promoted Premier League team Leeds to sign him. Marseille announced the deal late Friday without giving further details, but French media reports valued the deal at 30 million euros with an additional 5 million in performance-related bonuses. Marseille paid a club-record 32 million euros to Portuguese club Braga to sign forward Vitinha in early 2023. Vitinha failed to settle and scored only six goals in 43 games before being sold to Genoa. Paixão showed his full repertoire of skills during a Champions League game against AC Milan in February, scoring in a 1-0 win and giving the Milan defense a torrid time all game with his quickness. Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 last season behind Paris Saint-Germain and qualified directly for the Champions League. Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi has made several moves in the transfer market this summer, including bringing back veteran striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Al-Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League. The 36-year-old Aubameyang scored 21 goals for Al-Qadsiah last season, after having spent the 2023-24 campaign at Marseille — where he netted 30 goals overall and became a fan favorite in the southern port city. Attacking midfielder Angel Gomes joined from Lille and gritty central defender Facundo Medina arrived from Lens. The arrivals of Aubameyang and Paixão bring extra firepower to an attack that already features Mason Greenwood — who scored 21 league goals last season and Amine Gouiri. Marseille opens the new Ligue 1 season when it travels all the way up the country to face Brittany-based Rennes on Aug. 15. ___ AP soccer:
