Inter Milan Face Premier League Competition for Giovanni Leoni

Indeed, Arne Slot is in the market for a new central defender after offloading Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen.
However, Inter remain in the driver's seat, as the player prefers a reunion with Chivu.
On the other hand, Parma are ready to sell their most prized asset for €40 million.

Post-match reaction: Kieran Tierney and Auston Trusty
Brendan Rodgers' side produced an impressive performance at Paradise to defeat Newcastle United 4-0. The goals came from Arne Engels, Johnny Kenny, Yang and Liam Scales in what was an entertaining encounter for supporters to enjoy. But the biggest cheer of the afternoon came in the second-half when Kieran Tierney came on for his first appearance at Celtic Park since returning to the club. And speaking to Celtic TV after the game, Tierney said: "It was amazing. I didn't know what to expect but that was just brilliant. What a feeling. It was quite emotional, actually, running on to the park like that, but it was a great day for me." WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW While Celtic produced some great attacking football throughout the 90 minutes against Newcastle and scored four goals in the process, the fact that the team kept a clean sheet would also have pleased Brendan Rodgers. And at the heart of an impressive defensive display was Auston Trusty, with the American internationalist picking up the Man of the Match Award for his performance. Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, he said: 'It was a good collective effort and against a good side like Newcastle also shows where we are as a team right now. And also the mentality we have… I'm happy to have the Man of the Match but it's a team effort.'

Washington Commanders training camp preview: Wide receivers
The Washington Commanders spent this offseason adding more help for quarterback Jayden Daniels. The Commanders traded for left tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Unfortunately, Washington is currently at odds with No. 1 wide receiver Terry McLaurin over a new contract. Ultimately, almost everyone believes the Commanders and McLaurin will reach a new agreement, giving Daniels an excellent 1-2 punch at wide receiver. What about the rest of Washington's wide receiver corps? In the latest installment of our training camp positional previews, we look at wide receiver. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury Assistant head coach/pass game coordinator Brian Johnson Wide receivers coach Bobby Engram Personnel analyst Kliff Kingsbury rebuilt his coaching stock with a huge year in Washington last year. He had opportunities to interview elsewhere, but chose to return. Johnson was the Eagles' offensive coordinator for one season before coming to Washington. He serves as another sounding board for quarterback Jayden Daniels. Engram enters his third season in Washington and has the trust and support of all of Washington's receivers. Welker joined Washington this offseason and gives the receivers two coaches who played the position at a high level in the NFL. WR Terry McLaurin WR Deebo Samuel WR Noah Brown Terry McLaurin is the unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver. McLaurin had a career year in his first season with Kingsbury as offensive coordinator and Jayden Daniels at quarterback. Contract issues aside, McLaurin will be on the field for Week 1. If a deal is not reached soon, McLaurin could miss some of training camp. Samuel can play outside, but he'll also see plenty of time in the slot. The Commanders will be creative with Samuel. His strength lies in his ability to gain yards after the catch. As for the other WR spot, we named Noah Brown, but it could also be Luke McCaffrey, depending on how well he performs in training camp. Luke McCaffrey Jaylin Lane (R) K.J. Osborn Michael Gallup Ja'Corey Brooks (R) Jacoby Jones (R) Chris Moore Michael Strachan There are lots of interesting names here. McCaffrey and Lane would appear to be the only locks of the bunch. Gallup is trying to revive his career after an injury and brief retirement. Perhaps he could play a similar role as Olamide Zaccheaus did last season for the Commanders if he makes the team. Osborn signed late last season, but barely saw the field. Washington re-signed him this offseason. Osborn has NFL experience and is still young. Brooks is one of the NFL's most intriguing undrafted free agents. He offers size and excellent ball skills. It will be interesting to see which of Washington's receivers stand out this summer. McCaffrey looks ready for a big leap, and Lane looked good this offseason. This should be a pretty solid group. The Commanders need McCaffrey to take a step forward. If that happens, this group suddenly looks much more formidable. Washington knows what it's getting in McLaurin and has a pretty good idea of what Samuel will bring. Noah Brown was called upon to be the No. 2 receiver during the first half of last season, and he played well. Brown is Washington's biggest receiver and is excellent at drawing flags. Whether he starts or not, he will play significant snaps. This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: Commanders training camp preview: Wide receivers
