Alfredo Pedulla Offers Major Transfer Update On In-Demand Parma Striker: 'Inter Want To Wrap It Up After Or During FIFA Club World Cup'

Chances are Ange-Yoan Bonny will be a new Inter player by the end of August.
Although Inter had hoped to land the Frenchman before the FIFA Club World Cup, they ran out of time.
However, the Serie A runners-up will not pull the plug on their quest to lure the Parma center-forward to San Siro.
Instead, they could soon intensify talks with the Crusaders.
Bonny could still complete his long-anticipated move to Inter during the Club World Cup.
Indeed, it's still a distinct possibility, considering they want to assemble the squad for 2024/25 as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, the clubs will likely meet again once the Nerazzurri return from the United States.

'Yesterday, Inter reaffirmed a working table with Parma,' Pedulla stated.
'For the Nerazzurri, among the many strikers, Bonny is the one at the top of their list.'
Furthermore, Pedulla insists there are ongoing discussions between the clubs.
'In fact, Inter, who tried to seal the deal before the Club World Cup, now intend to close it either after or during the tournament.
'They've received Parma's green light.'
In addition to Bonny, Inter are eager to bring in prodigious center-back Giovanni Leoni.
Indeed, the 18-year-old talent is a concrete target for the Nerazzurri.
However, that's not all. Adrian Bernabe's name is back in fashion amid Kristjan Asllani's uncertain future at Giuseppe Meazza.
'During this meeting, they also discussed Leoni, whom Cherubini has stated he doesn't want to sell.
'Then, there's Bernabé, admired by many, not just Inter.'

Only one of Dovbyk and Abraham will remain at Roma
Only one of Dovbyk and Abraham will remain at Roma Roma are rumored to be preparing for a mini revolution in the offensive department, with the fate of Tammy Abraham and Artem Dovbyk still to be written. Both forwards have closed seasons with inconsistent performances and, to date, their simultaneous stay in the capital seems complicated, both for technical and economic reasons. Advertisement The Englishman, returning from a lackluster loan at Milan, still has an expensive contract with the Giallorossi. The Ukrainian, signed for a large fee twelve months ago, has scored 17 goals but has not fully convinced in terms of performances. Now it will be up to Gian Piero Gasperini, recently made official on the Roma bench, to evaluate the possibilities of relaunching both. Gasperini had already shown interest in Abraham during his time at Atalanta, a sign that the coach values the player for his physical and athletic characteristics. Dovbyk, on the other hand, could reflect a profile more similar to that of Retegui. Advertisement The new coach will want to test both, but he is aware that the economic needs of the club could prevail over the technical choices. Ricky Massara is called upon to unblock the necessary exits to comply with UEFA agreements, in view of the closing of the budget set for June 30. The sale of Abraham, for example, would free up an important salary and allow for a useful capital gain, writes Il Tempo.

How to watch Seattle Sounders vs Paris Saint-Germain: TV channel and live stream for Club World Cup today
Paris Saint-Germain will close out their Club World Cup group stage campaign today, meeting the Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field. The Parisiens have had mixed fortunes in the United States, producing a formidable 4-0 win over ten-man Atletico Madrid in their opener before falling to a frustrated 1-0 loss to Botafogo. Advertisement Igor Jesus, reportedly set to join Nottingham Forest this summer, was the goalscorer in the Botafogo defeat. Luis Enrique, though, highlighted the efforts of their back-line as a defining factor in the result. 'Botafogo was the team that defended us best all season, obviously in our League and in the Champions League,' he said. 'They made a low block from the start and were very efficient, united. We didn't generate as many chances as usual.' The champions of Europe could not muster a response to his first-half strike, failing to convert any of their 16 shots, 10 corners, and 75% possession. Despite enjoying home pitch advantage for much of the competition, Seattle sit bottom of Group B with zero points. They are not yet eliminated, though, thanks to the middling fortunes of Atletico and PSG, and could still qualify with a win. Advertisement Goal difference is not an issue, either, as any win would see them surpass Atletico's tally of -2. How to watch Seattle Sounders vs PSG Live stream: Viewers can watch the action live online via the DAZN website. Kick-off is at 8pm this evening. DAZN is the global broadcaster of the new-look Club World Cup.

Like Kylian Mbappe or Vinicius Jr, Xabi Alonso is one of Real Madrid's stars
The way Xabi Alonso congratulated his Real Madrid staff and players after the 3-1 win against Pachuca had a message along the lines of: 'That's right! That's what I want!'. The Spanish coach had made his Madrid managerial debut with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia in their Club World Cup group-stage opener last week, so Alonso has been asking for time for this new project in these early days. Advertisement And, in less than a week, he has managed to show a very different side of himself to the club's supporters. In the run-up to that first game, Alonso had told reporters that the 'the rock and roll' was about to begin — and it's fair to say that some of that was on display at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday. This win over Mexico's Pachuca was a significant result for several reasons… Numerically, because of the draw between Austria's Red Bull Salzburg and Al Hilal in the day's other Group H match, Madrid are in first place in Group H with a game to go. Symbolically, because it is the first victory of this new Madrid era and, therefore, the first for Alonso and summer signings Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen. And conditionally, because a red card to Raul Asencio in just the seventh minute complicated the situation. The team had to play with 10 men for more than 80 minutes in 92F (33C) temperature. 'It has a lot of merit,' Alonso told reporters post-match. 'I give it a lot of value, and I have congratulated the boys. We have to recognise their sacrifice.' Madrid not only improved from that opening match four days earlier but did so under the guidance of their new leader: Alonso himself. That's particularly important because the club expect a lot from their former midfielder, who is being given a leading role back at Madrid in every sense of the word. His voice, in terms of transfers and departures, is being heard more than predecessor Carlo Ancelotti's was in the previous four years, and his figure even appeared on the poster with which the club promoted this tournament on social media, alongside big-name players Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. A post shared by Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadrid) Alonso is another of this new Madrid's stars and although it is still early to draw better-or-worse conclusions, he began to show why on Sunday. His impact was visible from the line-up the Spanish giants named. Despite his assist against Al Hilal, Alonso benched Rodrygo, whose future at the club is up in the air, and opted to start Arda Guler in midfield. He also kept academy striker Gonzalo Garcia as a No 9 in the absence of Mbappe, who is expected to return against Salzburg in the third and final group game following an illness. The game's Plan A was swiftly disrupted by the red card to Asencio, sent off for bringing down Pachuca striker Salomon Rondon just outside the penalty area, but the reactions from the touchline personnel and the subsequent execution by those on the pitch saw everyone prove their worth. The most immediate change was to move Aurelien Tchouameni from midfield to the centre of the defence, and also alter how the rest of the team set up. 'Defending in such a low block was because we were one man down; you have to have humility to interpret that moment,' Alonso added. 'We want to understand what the game needs, show intelligence, and we did it.' Advertisement But something was still creaking. Alonso asked Alexander-Arnold to approach him to discuss improvements. And it was from the hydration break onwards that a decision by Alonso had a big impact. Explaining alongside his assistants, the former Bayer Leverkusen coach ordered his team to switch to a 4-4-1 formation, with Gonzalo dropping to the left wing and Vinicius Jr playing up front. The Brazilian, while still far from his best level, improved from the Al Hilal game and was seen on several occasions playing some of his backheel passes, a signal that he is comfortable. The formation change gave more balance and from there came Madrid's opening goal, a backheel offload from Gonzalo to Fran Garcia and a pass from the left-back — who gave a lot of depth — to Bellingham, who finished with perfection. The Englishman, who was named player of the match, seems to have understood what Alonso wants from him: to be more of a midfielder, but without losing that arrival into the box that makes him so unique. Madrid were experiencing their finest minutes under him so far but Alonso did not stop giving instructions and another reward came in the 43rd minute. Alexander-Arnold found Gonzalo in the area and the 21-year-old again teed up a team-mate, with Guler taking advantage of this opportunity. 'Yes, I'm happier (than in the previous years at Madrid under Ancelotti) because I play and because I play in the middle,' Guler told reporters after the game. Match management also worked out well for Alonso in terms of the substitutions. At half-time, he replaced Gonzalo and brought on Brahim Diaz, who assisted Federico Valverde for the third goal. Before that, the introductions of Luka Modric and Dani Ceballos on the hour mark meant an important rest for Bellingham and Guler, as well as more ball control for Madrid. Advertisement Of course, it was not a perfect game, as some statistics show. Madrid won the possession count 57 per cent to 43 per cent but Pachuca had 25 (11 on target) attempts on goal to their eight (three on target). In addition, Thibaut Courtois was once again a busy boy with 10 saves. Alonso was also called to offer support to a visibly upset Antonio Rudiger, who was allegedly racially abused by Pachuca captain Gustavo Cabral. The Madrid head coach had said on Saturday that he had not felt 'any anxiety at all, but rather a desire to improve and do things differently' in the dressing room, and that was very clear in Charlotte, as much as Alonso will want it to be back in Philadelphia against Salzburg in the early hours of Friday Madrid time.
