Agent Confirms Teenage Inter Milan Defender ‘Has A Lot Of Offers' & Quashes Donnarumma Links
The agent of Inter Milan defender Matteo Cocchi says that the teenage 'has a lot of offers' this summer transfer window. Agent Enzo Raiola spoke to FCInterNews after his visit to the Nerazzurri headquarters. He also denied links between Inter and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Advertisement Young Inter Milan defender Matteo Cocchi is a player with his future in the balance this summer. The 18-year-old enjoyed a breakout season with the Nerazzurri's Primavera, or Under-20, side. Therefore, it seems as though Cocchi is ready to take the next step. He will be playing senior football next season. Where that will be, however, is the big question. There will be no shortage of opportunities. Cocchi could play for Inter's Under-23 team next season. The Nerazzurri are setting the team up in order to give exactly that kind of opportunity to players from their youth academy. However, on the other hand, it could also be possible that Cocchi goes out on loan next season. Advertisement Agent Of Inter Defender Matteo Cocchi Confirms 'He Has A Lot Of Offers' MANZANO, ITALY – AUGUST 06: Matteo Cocchi of Italy in action during the International Friendly match between Italy U19 and Slovenia U19 at Stadio Comunale Giuseppe Morigi on August 06, 2024 in Manzano, Italy. (Photo by) Agent Enzo Raiola was at Inter's headquarters today. He confirmed that the purpose of his visit was 'to discuss some players for the Under-23 team.' As far as Cocchi, Raiola said that 'we talked about him specifically.' 'We're evaluating him,' the agent added. 'Because some interesting clubs have asked about him.' 'We're trying to decide what's best for him. Stay, or gain experience elsewhere.' 'There are some offers from abroad,' Raiola said of Cocchi. 'And others from Italy.' 'But it's early now. He's young, and he finished his first adventure with the first team in the US for the Club World Cup a couple weeks ago.' Advertisement 'He'll be back with the first team soon,' said Raiola. 'There's time to figure out which path for him to take.' Then, the agent confirmed that 'some of the offers are from Serie A.' And of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Raiola said 'that wasn't on the agenda today.' 'Inter already have a goalkeeper,' he made clear. 'For now everything's quiet on that front.' 'If PSG sell him that's another story. But right now, it's not a discussion that I started with Inter, as I already said.'

Ecuador, Power China agree on process to drop hydroelectric plant arbitration
QUITO (Reuters) -Ecuador's government has struck a deal with Power China on a process to drop arbitration over the South American country's largest hydroelectric plant, Coca Codo Sinclair, Energy Minister Ines Manzano told a press conference on Wednesday "This is an agreement between the parties that we are going to leave the arbitration," Manzano said. "The parties that were in the arbitration have reached an agreement. We are making firm progress." Manzano added that three steps must still be taken before the arbitration is ended, without giving further details. Ecuador's power company CELEC in 2021 requested the arbitration through the International Chamber of Commerce to settle a dispute over cracks in the 1,500-megawatt plant's machinery that prevented it from operating at full capacity. The plant was built by China's Sinohydro Corp in 2016, a hydropower contracting unit of state-owned Power China, but since coming online it has faced repeated technical issues, despite covering some 30% of Ecuador's electricity demand.

Former Iowa football star tabbed Steelers' 2025 X-factor
Kaleb Johnson's 2024 season was one of the best by an Iowa running back in the Kirk Ferentz era. Johnson rushed for 1,537 yards, averaged 6.4 yards per carry and set single-season Iowa records for total points (138), total touchdowns (23) and rushing touchdowns (21). The Hamilton, Ohio, native was the main reason that Iowa's offense was even competent last season. Johnson's efforts saw him selected in the third-round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 6-foot-1, 224-pound back was the first Hawkeye running back to be drafted since Shonn Greene in the third-round of the 2009 NFL draft. The Steelers drafted Johnson to fill a hole left by former first-round pick Najee Harris, who departed for the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency. With so many storylines, free agency additions and trades, the addition of Johnson to the offense has received far less attention than it probably should. But not from Sports Illustrated writer Gilberto Manzano. In his "32 teams in 32 days" series, Manzano examined Pittsburgh's big moves and projections for the 2025 season. In the article, Manzano listed Johnson as the Steelers' breakout player candidate/X-factor. How the Steelers' offense takes shape in 2025 might hinge on Johnson's development. If the rookie third-round pick makes an immediate impact, that would allow the young offensive line to establish a rhythm early in games and take pressure off Rodgers, who struggled with mobility last season with the New York Jets. There's also the lack of depth at wide receiver behind Metcalf meaning the Steelers might depend heavily on Johnson emerging as a productive playmaker in his rookie year. - Manzano, Sports Illustrated It's unclear what exactly Johnson's role will be on the Steelers in 2025, as fan-favorite running back Jaylen Warren is still on the roster and figures to be the favorite to start. The Steelers should continue to run a two-back system like they did with Warren and Harris, which would get Johnson on the field early and often. Plus, when you add in Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers seem primed to have a run-first mentality, which favors fans who want to see Johnson get some run. Regardless of what exact role he has, the former Hawkeye star will get a chance to show what he can do in the NFL this season.

Advertisement Colbert and Manzano 'met in the French Quarter, probably in the wee hours of the morning,' Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley previously told Fox News Digital. 'They came back to the hotel that was in the city of Kenner about 4:30 a.m. on Feb. 5, at which time we do have surveillance video from the lobby of the hotel showing them going into [Manzano's] room around that time,' Conley said. 'Then [Colbert] came out, ran to the store, came back about 30 minutes later, and within 10 or 15 minutes, she left the room. And he was never seen again on any video other than when he went into the room. So, she was the last one to be with him.' 5 'Bourbon Street Hustler' Danette Colbert is accused of the reporter's murder.

A third person has been arrested in the death of a Super Bowl reporter in New Orleans
A third person was arrested in the death of a Super Bowl reporter in New Orleans, providing fresh evidence of what authorities described Friday as an organized plot to drug and rob people. Police in Kenner, just west of New Orleans, accused Christian Anderson of renting the car used by Danette Colbert, one of two suspects previously charged with second-degree murder, fraud and theft crimes in the Feb. 5 death of Adan Manzano, 27. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has described Colbert, 48, as a "serial fraudster." In a news release, the Kenner Police Department said that Anderson, 33, allegedly provided logistical support and spoke extensively with Colbert after Manzano was found dead in a Kenner hotel. The department also accused Anderson of seeking to benefit from Manzano's stolen assets. Investigators reviewed text messages and digital communications showing that Anderson allegedly 'played an active role in a coordinated pattern of targeting victims, drugging them, and stealing personal property, including phones and financial account access,' the department said. Anderson was arrested on suspicion of simple robbery, purse snatching, access device fraud, illegal transmission of money, bank fraud and computer fraud, the department said. It wasn't immediately clear if he has a lawyer to speak on his behalf. Manzano, a Telemundo reporter, was in New Orleans to cover the Super Bowl. He was last seen entering his hotel room with Colbert on the morning of Feb. 5, Kenner police officials have said. Authorities have partly blamed Manzano's death on the combined toxic effects of alprazolam, an anti-anxiety drug often sold under the brand name Xanax, and ethanol. It isn't clear how the drug, which Manzano did not have a prescription for, got into his system. A device believed to be Manzano's cellphone was found at Colbert's home, police officials have said, and she allegedly used his credit card at a New Orleans-area store. The third alleged accomplice, Rickey White, 34, was arrested in Florida in March on fraud and theft charges. He was extradited to Louisiana and charged with second-degree murder earlier this month. An attorney for White has denied the charges. Lawyers for Colbert have not responded to requests for comment but have said in court that she should not be judged on her criminal history. Colbert has previously been charged in several other similar fraud cases, some of which included allegations of drugging. In one case, the victim accused her of drugging him, leaving him for dead and stealing tens of thousands of dollars through accounts linked to his iPhone. Colbert was convicted of computer fraud and other charges in October. Despite pleas from the victim, David Butler, that Colbert be given the maximum penalty for what he described in an impact statement as her 'continued disregard for others,' she was sentenced to five years of probation in December, two months before Manzano's death. After NBC News reported on Butler's case, the Louisiana Attorney General Office intervened and sought a tougher penalty for Colbert. Earlier this month, the judge who imposed probation found Colbert to be a 'habitual offender' and sentenced her to 25 years in prison, the prosecutor's office said. 'Danette Colbert will finally be held accountable, and she will no longer be free to continue preying on innocent people,' Butler said afterward. 'I sincerely hope this decision brings some peace to other survivors and helps restore their faith in the justice system.' A lawyer for Colbert did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
