Arsenal, Juve, Atletico Chase Inter Defender

Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, and Juventus are keeping tabs on Carlos Augusto, who’s fine at Inter but wouldn’t mind having a starring role. Instead, he has to split time with Federico Dimarco at San Siro. He’s not at the point of asking out, but a few teams are calling to inquire about his availability, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Los Colchoneros are looking for a left-back and missed out on Theo Hernandez. Arsenal will likely add one too after selling Oleksandr Zinchenko. New director Andrea Berta, who previously worked for La Liga giants, is a big fan. Instead, the Bianconeri would target him if they sold Andrea Cambiaso. Manchester City are no longer tracking him, but he’s into Milan and Napoli’s crosshairs.

Inter are pleased with the growth of Carlos Augusto since they acquired him from Monza for about €13M. He has quickly become a viable alternative to Dimarco and occasionally outperformed his competitor. He has put up 3 goals and 7 assists in 49 matches in the 2024/2025 campaign.

The Nerazzurri have every intention of keeping him, but, since nobody is truly untouchable on the transfer market, a €30M offer could pique their interest.

Our Take on Inter and Carlos Augusto
He dug his heels in to join them a couple of years ago, even though he knew what he was getting into. His progression and adaptation to the ‘braccetto’ role were impressive. Chances are he’ll stay, but he’d be a surefire starter in most other teams. There’s little to no traction about Cambiaso’s exit. Perhaps the Old Lady will keep Filip Kostic for depth purposes, as they are more active seeking right wing-backs than lefties. Milan should probe him just in case.

Galatasaray, Napoli Agree Osimhen Transfer

Italian Serie A side Napoli have reached an agreement with Galatasaray for the transfer of Nigeria international forward Victor Osimhen for a fee in the region of €75m, according to OwnGoalNigeria.com.

Both clubs have been locked in negotiations for the past two days after the Nigerian picked the team as his preferred destination ahead of Saudi Arabia side Al-Hilal. The talks went on yesterday without a resolution.

Napoli insisted on getting a bank guarantee for the payment of the transfer fee after agreeing for it to be paid in installments. The Turkish side will pay €40m in cash with the balance of €35m to be paid in installments for the next three years.

Galatasaray agreed to provide Napoli with a bank guarantee letter and if it sits well with the Italian side after a review, Osimhen will be allowed to travel to Istanbul for his medical and subsequent unveiling on a permanent deal.

After a successful time on loan last season, he will be expected to help the club retain the league and cup they won last season, and also do well in Europe after the disappointment in the Europa League last season.

WSL: Chelsea Forward Fishel Signs For Seattle Reign

Seattle Reign have signed Chelsea and United States forward Mia Fishel on a contract until 2029.

An undisclosed transfer fee will be paid to the Women’s Super League (WSL) champions who Fishel, 24, appeared for 21 times.

After signing from Mexican club Tigres for the start of the 2023-24 season, Fishel scored the winning goal against Tottenham on her WSL debut before an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury cut her campaign short.

The two-time WSL winner returned in March to make three appearances.

“I’m incredibly excited to sign a long-term contract in the NWSL and take this next step in my career with Seattle Reign FC,” said Fishel.

“This league is one of the best in the world, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity. I can’t wait to get started and contribute to the team’s success.”

America’s National Women’s Soccer League is currently on a midseason break but Seattle Reign return to action against Angel City on 1 August.
