Report – Parma Make Contact With Inter Milan For Fiorentina & Cagliari Linked Striker
Parma have reportedly joined Cagliari and Fiorentina in the race to sign Inter Milan outcast Sebastiano Esposito. According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Crusaders established contact with the San Siro chiefs earlier today. Sebastiano Esposito is not part of Cristian Chivu's project and will leave the club in the coming weeks. Despite drawing inquiries from fellow Serie A rivals, the 23-year-old could leave his homeland. Indeed, Bundesliga giants Borussia Mönchengladbach have also shown interest in the former Empoli star. Parma Make Contact with Inter Milan for Sebastiano Esposito Unlike his brother Francesco Pio Esposito, Sebastiano will part ways with Inter this summer. Although Fiorentina are his long-term admirers, Cagliari have jumped to the head of the queue. However, both clubs have been reluctant to sign the Italian striker on a permanent basis. Indeed, they're both eager to land Esposito on loan with a purchase option. Meanwhile, Inter would ideally sell their castaway immediately, so that they can raise funds for new signings. Therefore, Parma could soon take the lead in the race.

Norway 1 Italy 2 – Cristiana Girelli's brace lifts Italy to first Euros semi-final in decades
Age is but a number. Italy relied on a mix of youth and experience to hold off Norway to advance to their first semi-final appearance since 1997. Cristiana Girelli, 35, scored two goals on the night, with both assisted by 25-year-old forward Sofia Cantore. Here are some of the key factors from the historic Euros quarter-final match… Cristiana Girelli's brace, both from the service of Washington Spirit-bound Sofia Cantore, proved a critical point that had been nagging Italy through the group stages: their inability to score more than one goal in a game. All three of their previous matches had amounted to one-goal results, and the remaining teams in this knockout group have all shown they can pile goals when needed. Advertisement The Cantore-Girelli combination on both goals demonstrates the best possible scenario when it comes to combining fresh, young talent and mature composure. On both Italy goals, Cantore's tenacity and precision on the ball set the table beautifully for a player of Girelli's caliber to finish — not a small feat on a big stage for a team seeking its first semi-final Euros appearance since 1997. Twice in this tournament now, former Ballon d'Or winner Ada Hegerberg has sent a penalty kick wide of the goal. And twice now, she's redeemed herself emphatically with an open play goal. Less than six minutes after an awkward penalty call on Italian defender Linari for fouling Hegerberg in the box during a corner kick (Hegerberg was offside but her position was nullified by the foul because she never touched the ball), the 30-year-old star striker muscled her way through an Italian defense that had, up until that point, risen to the challenge of Norway's loaded attack. She squeezed a shot past goalkeeper Laura Giuliani to equalize. It was a cathartic goal for Hegerberg and her team, and a catalyst for the period that followed. After spending so much of the game on the back foot to Italy's directness, the roles reversed as Norway gained the upper hand. Hegerberg's goal aside, Norway's loss underscores yet again the confounding state of the team's attacking threat. Carolina Graham Hansen finding joy down the flanks is inevitable. Guro Reiten, even from her unfamiliar position as left full back, still managed to contribute to the attack as expected — and yet, there remains a gross disparity between this team's star power and the results. But the future of this team offered bright spots, particularly in the form of 20-year-old Signe Gaupset, who very much earned her way into Norway's starting XI with the two goals and two assists she's had this tournament. Norway's best chances in the first half came from her courageous play, a quality sorely missing across the squad. As they await the results of reigning European Champions England and their opponents, Sweden, Italy must feel buoyed by their defensive performance against some of the best individual talent in the world, and also their own resilience. Both semi-final match-up possibilities can score multiple goals from a variety of players; both are pacey. But Italy have grown into this tournament and have plenty of momentum to pull off another fantastic feat.

AC Milan register interest in Jean-Philippe Mateta
AC Milan have signalled their interest in signing Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace, according to L'Equipe. Off the back of an eighth-place finish last season, Milan are keen to bolster their options in attack as they prepare for life under Massimiliano Allegri. The Rossoneri were previously keen on last season's Serie A top scorer Mateo Retegui, who is, however, set to move to Saudi Arabia. Milan have also been linked with Dusan Vlahovic, although the Serbian's wages are proving to be a sticking point. Milan's search for a new striker has now led them to Mateta off the back of an impressive form over the past two seasons, during which he scored 36 goals in 85 appearances across all competitions, while also winning the FA Cup. Known for his physicality, aerial ability and clinical finishing, the Frenchman offers a blend of strength and skill. Mateta was linked with an exit last summer, and while a move did not materialise, the 28-year-old hinted that his future in South London was uncertain. 'The club didn't want to sell me, so I moved on, and I gave everything to the team to help us get better results than those we achieved last year,' he said via GFFN. 'And when it is the right time to ask those questions, we'll ask them.' With just one year left on his current deal, Palace are keen to tie Mateta down to a long-term contract, but he is reportedly willing to depart Selhurst Park amid interest from several clubs. However, Palace's asking price of over €30 million for Mateta is said to have put Milan off at the moment, and the Serie A outfit could be forced to turn to other alternatives.
