Pobega already spent last season on loan with an option to buy for €12m, but the club decided not to activate it, hoping instead to negotiate a better deal.
That could arrive as part of a package with two other players who are not part of Max Allegri's plans at San Siro.

Adli is another midfielder who was on loan, this time at Fiorentina, and has been told to find himself a different destination this summer.
Okafor returned to base after six months on loan at Scudetto winners Napoli, despite barely setting foot on the pitch during that spell.
Besiktas and Fenerbahce have both approached Milan for Okafor, but they wanted him on loan with an option to buy, whereas the Rossoneri are determined to sell outright.

49ers activate Ricky Pearsall from PUP list and Brock Purdy returns to practice
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers activated second-year receiver Ricky Pearsall from the physically unable to perform list and he practiced for the first time this summer. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy was also back at practice Sunday after missing a session on Friday for personal reasons. Pearsall had been out since injuring his hamstring during the offseason program. The Niners are counting on a big season from the 2024 first-round pick after trading away Deebo Samuel and with Brandon Aiyuk expected to miss the start of the season recovering from knee surgery. Pearsall had a difficult rookie season, missing almost all of camp with injuries to his hamstring and shoulder and then sitting out the first half of the season after being shot in a robbery attempt in San Francisco. Pearsall returned in Week 7 and finished the season with 31 catches for 400 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games. Pearsall had a strong finish to the season with 14 catches for 210 yards and two touchdowns in the final two games. ___ AP NFL:

Revealed – How France U21 Star Will Be Used At Inter Milan Next Season
Inter Milan are planning to have Ange-Yoan Bonny be the backup to Marcus Thuram next season. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInter1908. Striker Ange-Yoan Bonny joined Inter Milan this summer. The Frenchman arrived on a five-year deal from Parma. Bonny had been a Parma player for four years, having signed for the Emilian club in 2021. And last season was Bonny's first in Serie A. He made the step up well, helping Parma to remain in the top flight. Therefore, Bonny caught Inter's eye. And the fact that Cristian Chivu took over as Inter coach following his successful stint in charge of Parma certainly didn't hurt Bonny as a target for the Nerazzurri. Inter Milan See Ange-Yoan Bonny As Marcus Thuram Backup PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 15: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio reacts during the Serie A match between Parma and Verona at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 15, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Clearly, Inter Milan are not planning to make Ange-Yoan Bonny a first-choice striker right away. However, that leads to the question of exactly what the 21-year-old's role will be at the Nerazzurri next season. Particularly considering the expected arrival of Ademola Lookman or a different attacker to facilitate the switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation. According to Tuttosport, Inter's plan is to have Bonny be the backup to fellow Frenchman Marcus Thuram. Clearly, Thuram will not start every match next season. And Inter's idea is that, rather than having an older player to back up the 27-year-old, Bonny can be his understudy, learning and improving.

Revealed – Which Two Italy Stars Inter Milan & Napoli Would Have Swapped Had Simone Inzaghi Stayed
Inter Milan had been ready to make a swap deal involving Davide Frattesi and Giacomo Raspadori had Simone Inzaghi stayed coach. This via FCInter1908. The change of coach, however, has changed the fortunes of Frattesi who now looks clearly set to remain at Inter. It is not secret that Davide Frattesi looked to be on the way out at Inter not long ago. The Italian international had reportedly already asked to leave in January. This was due to a lack of playing time. And despite a few signs that things were changing towards the end of last season, the Champions League final seemed to be the last straw. Frattesi reportedly had a bust-up with Inzaghi over the fact that he didn't even feature as a substitute. Inter Were Ready To Make Frattesi Raspadori Swap Had Inzaghi Stayed MILAN, ITALY – MARCH 30: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale celebrates after scoring their team's secon goal during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Udinese Calcio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on March 30, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Therefore, reported via FCInter1908, Inter would have been ready to offload Frattesi. And among the clubs interested in the 25-year-old are Napoli. The Partenopei also have a player who has been of interest to Inter – forward Giacomo Raspadori. And Raspadori himself looks as though he may well be ready to leave Naples. Therefore, a swap deal involving the two Italian internationals and former Sassuolo players could have been in the offing. However, that all changed when Simone Inzaghi decided to leave for the riches of Al-Hilal. Cristian Chivu arrived as Inter coach to replace Inzaghi. And the Romanian is ready to give Frattesi a chance at Inter.
