Report – Inter Milan & Atalanta Set For Fresh Round Of Talks For Nigeria Superstar Today

Yahoo3 days ago
Inter Milan and Atalanta will meet later today to continue discussions for Ademola Lookman as the transfer gains momentum.
According to Sport Mediaset via FCInterNews, the clubs will ramp up talks for the Nigerian's move to San Siro.
Inter's opening bid for Ademola Lookman was narrowly off the mark.
Indeed, Atalanta deemed Inter's €40 million bid insufficient as they stick to their €50m valuation.
However, Ivan Juric's men are open to a dialogue, and a potential discount remains a distinct possibility.
Inter Milan & Atalanta Set for Another Ademola Lookman Round of Talks
Lookman's desire to join the Nerazzurri is well-documented. After all, he has already agreed personal terms with the San Siro club.
Therefore, Atalanta have a little wriggle room, especially after the 27-year-old rejected Napoli's approach.
Meanwhile, Inter are confident a minor financial increase will help them get the deal over the line.
Despite Lookman's household status in Bergamo, Atalanta promised to let him leave for the right offer last summer.
Now, the Nigerian looks to hold La Dea to their promise.

Saipem and Subsea7 merger agreement sealed

Italy-based energy company Saipem and Subsea7 have signed a binding merger agreement, forming a new entity in the energy sector. The combined entity, to be named Saipem7, is projected to have revenues of around €21bn ($24.75bn), with EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) exceeding €2bn and a substantial backlog worth €43bn. The merger, with the memorandum of understanding signed in February this year, is expected to generate more than €800m in free cash flow and create significant shareholder value. A shareholders' agreement has been signed by Eni, CDP Equity and Siem Industries, ensuring support for the merger. The CEO of Saipem7 will be Alessandro Puliti, designated by Eni and CDP Equity, while Kristian Siem of Siem Industries will serve as the chairman of the board. The merger aims to benefit clients by combining the strengths of both companies, including a global reach across more than 60 countries, a diversified fleet and a combined workforce of approximately 44,000. The transaction is set to yield annual cost and capital expenditure synergies of around €300m from the third year post-completion. Saipem7 plans to distribute at least 40% of its free cash flow to shareholders annually after lease liabilities are covered. The merger will be executed through an EU cross-border statutory merger, with Saipem absorbing Subsea7 and retaining its incorporation in Italy. The newly formed company will be headquartered in the Italian city of Milan and listed on the Milan and Oslo stock exchanges. Post-merger, Siem Industries will hold an 11.8% stake in Saipem7, while Eni and CDP Equity will own 10.6% and 6.4%, respectively. Subsea7 shareholders will receive 6.688 new Saipem shares for each Subsea7 share, leading to an equal shareholding between Saipem and Subsea7's current shareholders upon completion. Saipem7 will consist of four business units, with the Offshore Engineering & Construction segment operating as an autonomous company under the name Subsea7, branded as 'Subsea7, a Saipem7 Company'. This unit will incorporate Subsea7's businesses and Saipem's Asset Based Services, encompassing offshore wind operations. Other business units are Onshore Engineering & Construction, Sustainable Infrastructures and Drilling Offshore. The merger, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026. Financial advisory roles have been assigned to Goldman Sachs Bank Europe and Deutsche Bank for Saipem, and Kirk Lovegrove & Company and Deloitte for Subsea7.

Juventus' Douglas Luiz to face disciplinary action after not reporting to training

Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz is set to face disciplinary action after not reporting to training on Thursday. The Italian side returned to training ahead of the 2025-26 campaign after their pre-season preparations were delayed due to their Club World Cup participation. However, Luiz was not present and now will face retrospective action from the club, sources with knowledge of the situation told The Athletic. Advertisement Luiz joined Juventus last summer in a €50million (£42.3m; $53.6m) plus add-ons move from Aston Villa, signing a five-year deal. However, the Brazil international made just 19 Serie A appearances last campaign, with just three of those games being starts, and has been linked with a move away from the club. The 27-year-old played only once in Juventus' four Club World Cup games, coming on as a half-time substitute in their 5-0 win over Al-Ain to open their group stage. The Athletic previously reported Manchester City's interest in a loan deal for the Brazilian in January. Juventus' preference was a sale or loan with an obligation to buy, and a deal never materialised. Luiz's sale last summer came as Villa needed to sell a first-team player for substantial profit to help fund further spending and avoid breaching Premier League profitability and sustainability rules (PSR). In a parallel transaction, Villa signed winger Samuel Iling-Junior and midfielder Enzo Barrenechea from Juventus before both left the club on loan. Welcome back, guys! 👋 @Jeep_People — JuventusFC 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@juventusfcen) July 24, 2025 Luiz made more than 200 appearances in five seasons with Villa after spending the previous two years with La Liga side Girona. Juventus begin their pre-season with a friendly against Reggiana on August 2. They begin their Serie A campaign against Parma on August 24. Igor Tudor's side announced the permanent signing of Francisco Conceicao from Porto on Tuesday, with Samuel Mbangula's sale to Werder Bremen confirmed on Wednesday.
