Bayern star Oberdorf wishes Germany good luck ahead of Euros semis
"Alright, girls. You've made it to the semi-finals. My fingers are crossed. Just like we did against France (in the quarter-finals). Everyone together, and then we will win the game and make it to the final. Good luck," she said during an interview with broadcaster ARD.
Oberdorf was not included in the Euro 2025 squad as she still recovers from a cruciate ligament injury suffered last July.
"We have to lock in. I'm confident that we will see a good game," she said.
"We proved at the last Euros that we are resilient. Now we've seen again that we have a tremendous mentality," she added.
Germany are yet to lose a game to Spain. In eight matches so far, Germany have won five times, while in three other occasions the teams played out a draw.
Their last encounter was at the Paris Olympics last summer. Germany defeated Spain 1-0 to take the bronze medal.

Sky Sports: Chelsea ‘in Talks' Over £115m Double Transfer Swoop
Chelsea Step Up Pursuit of Ajax Star Hato and Leipzig's Xavi Simons Chelsea have begun formal discussions to sign Ajax's highly-rated defender Jorrel Hato, according to a report from Sky Sports News. The Blues are looking to strengthen defensively as part of a broader summer rebuild, while also pursuing creative midfield talent in the form of RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons. As per Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol and Anthony Joseph, 'Chelsea are in talks to sign Jorrel Hato from Ajax. He is one of a number of centre-backs they have been looking at.' The club has been actively evaluating their options at the back following a number of high-profile injuries last season, and the 18-year-old Dutch international fits the profile of a modern, composed ball-playing defender with leadership qualities well beyond his years. Photo IMAGO Focus on Exits Before Further Signings The structure of Chelsea's summer transfer business remains tethered to player exits. 'Any further signings at Chelsea are dependent on exits,' Sky Sports report. This strategy is not new. Chelsea's sporting directors, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, have often prioritised Financial Fair Play compliance and squad balance before major moves. But with the likes of Trevoh Chalobah, Malang Sarr and possibly Conor Gallagher attracting interest, outgoings could materialise quickly to fund the proposed £115m double swoop. Xavi Simons also on the Radar Talks are underway for Xavi Simons, one of Europe's most versatile attacking midfielders. The Dutchman spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig and impressed with his intelligence, creativity and movement across multiple attacking roles. 'Chelsea have also held talks over the signing of Xavi Simons at RB Leipzig,' say Sky Sports. His price tag is expected to hover around £70m, but his ceiling is enormous. At just 21, Simons combines elite ball progression with a work rate that would appeal to Enzo Maresca, especially given Chelsea's upcoming return to the UEFA Champions League. Photo: IMAGO What Maresca is Building This summer feels different. With Enzo Maresca already delivering silverware in the form of the UEFA Europa Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup in his debut season, the Chelsea project looks to be heading into a mature phase. Champions League qualification has given the club a solid platform to recruit top-tier young talent again, this time with a more defined tactical blueprint under a clear football identity. Should Chelsea complete these deals, the average age of the squad would further drop, but in doing so, the Blues would add two players ready to contribute immediately and long-term. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Chelsea fan's perspective, this report is pure excitement. Hato is exactly the kind of signing that shows Chelsea mean business. At just 18, he's already captaining Ajax and has the kind of ball control and positioning that reminds fans of peak John Terry, but with the athleticism of someone like Wesley Fofana. Getting him early could be a masterstroke. As for Xavi Simons, he's electric. Watching him glide between lines for Leipzig last season, it's obvious why Chelsea are so keen. He's got that Eden Hazard-like unpredictability in the final third and could be the perfect foil for Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku behind Nicolas Jackson. Enzo Maresca's first season exceeded expectations. With trophies already in the cabinet and Champions League football secured, fans feel there's real momentum now. These two potential signings would not only fit the club's strategy of recruiting elite young talent, but also show that the board are backing Maresca all the way. £115m might sound steep, but in today's market, that's value for two future superstars. If Chelsea pull this off, we're not just building for the future, we're preparing to challenge right now.

Report – Gentlemen's Agreement Between Inter Milan & Flop Striker To Facilitate Fast Exit
Inter Milan and Mehdi Taremi have made a pact to part ways this summer, with several clubs vying for the striker's signature. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the player will not make Inter's effort to sell him difficult. Unlike others, such as Kristjan Asllani, the 33-year-old has accepted his fate at San Siro. Indeed, the Iranian center-forward is aware of the club's decision to get his wages off their books. Therefore, he won't stand in Inter's way. Mehdi Taremi Accepts His Inter Milan Fate MILAN, ITALY – AUGUST 24: Mehdi Taremi of FC Internazionale in action during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and US Lecce at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on August 24, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Inter have already named a price for the former Porto striker. Indeed, they're ready to cut him loose for as little as €8 million. However, after signing him on a free transfer last summer, the Serie A runners-up will make capital gains. On the other hand, Mehdi Taremi looks poised to leave and rekindle his faltering career. There's no shortage of interest despite his dreadful season in Serie A. Despite an unlikely return to Estadio do Dragao, Taremi has plenty of options. Besiktas, Fulham, Leeds United, and West Ham are willing to offer him an escape route from Italy.
