Report – Inter Milan On The Verge Of Increased Offer For Atalanta Talisman
This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri will tack €3 million plus €2 million in add-ons onto their bid.
Inter Milan have made Atalanta's Ademola Lookman their priority target.
The Nerazzurri made an offer of €40 million for the Nigerian earlier this month. However, Atalanta rejected this initial bid – giving Inter a counteroffer of €50 million.
However, that has not deterred Inter. Far from it – they are aiming to return with another offer very soon.

The Corriere della Sera report that Inter owners Oaktree Capital have authorized another, higher offer for Lookman.
The Nerazzurri owners have given the green light to a bid of €43 million, plus €2 million in add-ons.
Therefore, Inter are essentially ready to split the difference with their first offer and Atalanta's €50 million valuation.
The Corriere della Sera confirm recent reports that Inter will lodge this new bid this week. Likely within the first day or two of the week.
Therefore, Inter are clearly pushing to get a deal over the line quickly.

Darwin Nunez twist could have major impact on Alexander Isak transfer to Liverpool
Newcastle's owners could end up indirectly helping Liverpool to sign Alexander Isak. That's because Al-Hilal, the club that is interested in signing Darwin Nunez from the Reds, is majoratively owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund — the same group that majoratively owns Newcastle. Nunez could leave Liverpool before the transfer window closes after three underwhelming seasons on Merseyside, and after Napoli dropped its interest several weeks ago due to Nunez's price tag, there are not many top-level European options remaining for the Uruguayan. The riches on offer in Saudi Arabia could appeal to Nunez, and it is reported by The Athletic that Al-Hilal has made the 26-year-old its top striking target after seeing Victor Osimhen move to Galatasaray. READ MORE: Eddie Howe throws Alexander Isak future into fresh doubt amid Liverpool transfer saga READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Alexander Isak bid, Rodrygo agrees terms, Tyler Morton to Lyon Other targets like Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak are viewed as less attainable than Nunez, which is why the Saudi Pro League club is now firmly focused on Liverpool's No.9. If Al-Hilal, funded by the PIF, signs Nunez for the Reds' reported $81 million asking price, that could be the difference between Liverpool signing Isak and Liverpool not signing Isak. Meanwhile, Isak is expected to return to Newcastle's training ground today (Monday) after ruling himself out of the pre-season tour of Asia. Isak did not travel across the world with his teammates, with the official reason being that he was carrying a slight injury, but it soon emerged what the real reason for his absence was. Isak remains keen to leave Newcastle — and he could yet get his wish, despite Liverpool seeing a $146 million bid for the player swiftly rejected last week. Despite being set to return to Newcastle's training ground, Isak has been warned by Magpies manager Eddie Howe that he won't be reintegrated before proving that he is ready to give his all for his current club. "You have to earn the right to train with us," Howe said. "We are Newcastle United. The player has a responsibility here to be part of a team and part of a squad - you have to act in the right way. So that is also at play here. "We will make sure that any player does that to earn the right to train with the group. No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal."

Ozempic Maker's Plight Shows Managing Markets Counts Too
Ozempic-maker Novo Nordisk A/S saw its shares take a record plunge last week, sending their peak-to-trough collapse to 70% and returning them to levels last seen in 2022. The Danish drug giant's purpose may be to improve people's lives, but investors' shrinking gains from its opening of the anti-obesity market matter too. Novo's blind spot has been failing to see its share price as an asset to manage — and exploit. For years, Novo had a relatively quiet life as one member of an insulin oligopoly alongside US peer Eli Lilly & Co. and France's Sanofi SA. While it wasn't a completely smooth ride — 2016 was dire — Novo has never seen operational and strategic challenges on the scale it's now facing. In developing Ozempic for diabetes and its sibling Wegovy for weight loss, the company suddenly found itself riding a tiger.
