Immobile on verge of Serie A return with Bologna
Former Lazio striker Ciro Immobile is reportedly on the verge of returning to Italian football, as Bologna increased their pursuit of a deal to sign the forward from Besiktas.
After a potential transfer initially seemed difficult, due to reasons involving his wage demands and current contract with the Turkish club, SkySport are now reporting that the parties are nearing an agreement.

All that is now missing, the reports claim, is Besiktas' final green light for the deal to go ahead.
Immobile to return to Serie A
Immobile scored 15 goals and assisted four for Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig in 2024-25 but reports in the last week have suggested the player was keen to return to his home country.

Sky report that Immobile will sign a one-year deal with Bologna, with the possibility of renewal if things go well for the 35-year-old – as the experienced striker can still play a huge role both on and off the pitch.

Report – Inter Milan Will Only Sign €60M Rated Atalanta Star On One Condition
Report – Inter Milan Will Only Sign €60M Rated Atalanta Star On One Condition Inter Milan will only move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson this summer if Hakan Calhanoglu departs. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that La Dea will hold out for a fee of €60 million for the Brazilian. Advertisement Inter Milan have reportedly been eyeing up a possible move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson. The 25-year-old has come to the end of his third season at Atalanta. He joined the Bergamo-based club from Salernitana in the summer of 2022. And Ederson has certainly grown into one of the outstanding midfielders in Serie A during his time at the Gewiss Arena. Inter Milan Will Only Move For Atalanta Midfielder Ederson If Calhanoglu Leaves MONZA, ITALY – MAY 04: Ederson of Atalanta BC in action during the Serie A match between AC Monza and Atalanta BC at U-Power Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) However, considering Ederson's form, Atalanta will not let the Brazilian go for cheap. The Corriere dello Sport anticipate that La Dea want a fee of at least €60 million for Ederson. Advertisement Therefore, Inter would have to make a big sale if they are to move for the 25-year-old. The obvious candidate in this respect would be Hakan Calhanoglu. The Turkish international could bring in a fee of around €35-40 million, which Inter could reinvest in a move for Ederson to replace him. However, if Inter do not sell Calhanoglu, then there would be little scope for them to sign the Brazilian.

Lazio Put Up A ‘Wall' For Inter Milan Target – €50M Release Clause Or Nothing
Lazio Put Up A 'Wall' For Inter Milan Target – €50M Release Clause Or Nothing Lazio have put up a 'wall' for Inter Milan target Nicolo Rovella, and will only sell the midfielder for his €50 million release clause. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan have reportedly recently sounded out a move for Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella. Reports indicate that the Nerazzurri are offering €35-40 million for the 23-year-old. They would see him as a prospective replacement for Hakan Calhanoglu in holding midfield.

(Photo by Marco Rosi –) However, Rovella has a release clause in his contract. If Inter were to make an offer of €50 million or so, then Lazio would have to accept it. But the Corriere report that the Biancocelesti aren't going to make it easy. That is the only offer that they will accept, there will be no negotiations. Advertisement Losing Nicolo Rovella would be a bitter blow for Lazio. Particularly considering their precarious financial situation and inability to make signings as things stand. Moreover, the Corriere note, selling Rovella wouldn't necessarily change things much. That is because the release clause for the Italian international is payable in three instalments. Therefore, Lazio would only bring in a cash windfall of around €17 million this summer if Inter or another club were to trigger Rovella's release clause.
