Inter consider Manu Kone as potential Calhanoglu replacement
The elimination from the Club World Cup, combined above all with the harsh words of the Nerazzurri captain, referring to the Turk as revealed by President Marotta, risk creating a heated situation in Appiano.

As Calciomercato.com writes, Inter are determined of their idea of selling Calhanoglu this summer.
The former Milan player is in fact strongly tempted by Galatasaray, so his future in Serie A seems increasingly in the balance.
However, an offer of at least 30 million euros will be needed to convince the Milanese to sell the class of '94.
In the event that this scenario were to happen, Chivu's team would be studying various names so as not to be caught unprepared.
Among these, there would also be that of Manu Koné, one of the most positive players of the season for Roma.
It is difficult to talk about figures at the moment, even if Inter could offer Frattesi in exchange.

Obviously, the Giallorossi's willingness to sell the Frenchman, signed last summer from Borussia Mönchengladbach for almost 20 million euros and protected by a contract until 2029, remains to be seen. In his first year in the capital, the 2001-born player made 45 appearances in total and scored 2 goals.

❌ David not enough: Juve want Osimhen or Kolo, Vlahovic stalls 🤑
The attack puzzle continues to be a hot topic at Juventus. The arrival of Jonathan David has provided an initial piece, but the problem is far from solved. Weighing heavily on the club's finances is Dusan Vlahovic's enormous salary: from July 1st, the Serbian earns a whopping 12 million euros net per season. An unsustainable figure that Juve can no longer afford. Advertisement The situation is clear: Vlahovic is out of the technical project, and his stay is paralyzing the incoming market. A breakthrough is needed, and it is needed quickly. 🆕 NAMES FOR THE POST-VLAHOVIC ERA At the top of the Bianconeri's dream list remains Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker from Napoli, returning from a loan at Galatasaray, is on the market, but there is a huge obstacle: the 75 million euro clause does not apply to Italian clubs, and convincing De Laurentiis to negotiate has always been a near-impossible feat. The most concrete alternative leads to Randal Kolo Muani. The Frenchman left a great impression during his loan at Juventus, but here too the path is uphill: PSG has already rejected the first offer for a loan with an option to buy. Everything is at a standstill, everything is blocked. ❌ VLAHOVIC BLOCKS EVERYTHING The key to unlocking this gridlock has only one name: Dusan Vlahovic. Juventus has no more time to waste. The Serbian aims to stay until the contract expires in 2026 and then leave on a free transfer. But Juve cannot afford to wait. According to Tuttosport, Comolli is evaluating all possible options. A decisive meeting with the player's agent, Darko Ristic, is scheduled for next week. It will be the face-to-face of truth. 💡 TWO POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS Every scenario is on the table. There is even talk of a sensational consensual termination of the contract with a substantial severance package. Alternatively, a one-year bridge renewal could be considered to spread the salary and allow Vlahovic to find a new team on loan, playing consistently. Advertisement Juventus has reached a crossroads: either Vlahovic packs his bags, or the market remains blocked. The feeling is that this time, the break might truly be definitive.

FAIR PLAY MENARINI INTERNATIONAL AWARD, A WAVE OF EMOTIONS MARKS THE 29TH EDITION
FIESOLE, Italy, July 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A night suspended between history and legend, dedicated to the most authentic values of ethics and fair play. In the timeless setting of the Roman Theatre of Fiesole, where culture met sport, the final ceremony of the 29th edition of the Fair Play Menarini International Award took place, bringing together some of the greatest sportsmen and women in world, in acknowledgment of their examples of loyalty, respect, and integrity, both on and off the field. Among this year's awardees was the icon of football, Luis Figo, Ballon d'Or winner with Real Madrid and winner of 4 consecutive italian championships with Inter, a winger who has redefined the role with his charisma and unparalleled ability. The Award also paid tribute to Demetrio Albertini, midfield player and reference for generations of fans, and "Billy" Costacurta, renowned defender of the AC Milan and national teams, representing an era of football that made history. Among those honoured this year were also Gianmarco Tamberi, Olympic and world high jump champion and flagbearer for Italy at the Paris 2024 Games, a charismatic and inspiring athlete, capable of turning each competition into a moment of both entertainment and a celebration of values. Also awarded was fellow flagbearer Arianna Errigo, fencing legend and symbol of determination and lifelong dedication to a sporting discipline that she has helped to gain greater appreciation. Recognition also went to Sasha Vujacic, two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, who earned admiration for his competitive spirit and a career built on commitment and respect. Joining them were Blanka Vlasic, high jump icon and two-time world champion; Alice Bellandi, Olympic gold medallist and newly crowned judo world champion, and Nadia Battocletti, a rising star in middle-distance running who claimed Olympic silver in the 10,000 metres through strength, strategy, and dedication. Andy Díaz, dominant triple jumper with an Olympic bronze and indoor world title, was also present together with Rigivan Ganeshamoorthy, Paralympic gold medallist in the discus throw, a true example of strength and inspiration. Completing the line up was Guido Meda, the legendary voice of MotoGP, acknowledged for the passion with which he has so enthusiastically commented on races over the years. Making the evening even more special was the presence of three Fair Play Menarini Ambassadors, who themselves have received the award in past editions: Ian Thorpe, five-time Olympic champion and swimming legend, Giancarlo Antognoni, 1982 World Cup winner, recognised for loyalty and a sense of belonging towards the city of Florence, and Fabrizio Donato, winner of the triple jump bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games. The ceremony was broadcast live on Sky TG24, and hosted by Rachele Sangiuliano, Federica Lodi, Michele Cagiano, and Omar Schillaci, and a special commentary was given by Federico Buffa, whose words enhanced the more profound meaning of each of the stories told throughout the evening. In addition to these remarkable champions, the winners of the Fair Play Menarini "Young Athletes" Award - Nicola Nardo, Michele Vivalda, and Alessandro Bugli - were also celebrated, together with the awardee of the Special Fiamme Gialle "Study and Sport" Award, Margherita Voliani. These two special awards, which aim to put the spotlight on particular positive acts of fair play by the younger generations, were conferred last June during the press conferences held at the Italian Olympic Committee and Tuscany Region headquarters. "The Fair Play Menarini Award is a mosaic of stories which both inspire and convey a meaningful message, and each edition reminds us of the strength of those who choose to live sport with integrity and respect - said Valeria Speroni Cardi and Filippo Paganelli, Members of the Board of the Fair Play Menarini Foundation - With that same energy, we are already looking ahead to the 30th edition, and we look forward to seeing you in 2026 for yet another magnificent adventure together." The 29th edition of the Fair Play Menarini International Award is supported by the Istituto per il Credito Sportivo e Culturale as Institutional Partner, and by Sustenium, Frecciarossa, Estra, and Adiacent as initiative partners.
