France Star Continues Injury-Hit ‘2025 To Forget' With Inter Milan At FIFA Club World Cup
France Star Continues Injury-Hit '2025 To Forget' With Inter Milan At FIFA Club World Cup Marcus Thuram has continued his injury-hit '2025 to forget' with Inter Milan at the start of the Club World Cup. This is highlighted in today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Marcus Thuram had been one of Inter's outstanding players during the first half of the season. As the Gazzetta note, right up until the Supercoppa Italiana in January, Thuram had scored thirteen goals for the Nerazzurri. The Frenchman had seemingly shown that he can be the decisive player in attack for Inter. Even when Lautaro Martinez is either unavailable or not at his best. However, Thuram's form has dropped off dramatically in 2025. Marcus Thuram Continues '2025 To Forget' With Inter At Club World Cup MUNICH, GERMANY – APRIL 08: Marcus Thuram of FC Internazionale reacts during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Quarter Final First Leg match between FC Bayern München and FC Internazionale Milano at Fussball Arena Muenchen on April 08, 2025 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by) Injuries and physical issues have certainly had their role to play in Thuram's decline. There was a nagging ankle problem in February. Then, in April the 27-year-old suffered from some muscular fatigue as a result of Inter's intense Champions league tie against Bayern Munich. Advertisement The upshot of all of this is that Marcus Thuram simply hasn't looked at his best. There were decisive goals against the likes of Feyenoord and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. But these were the exception rather than the rule. In fact, the Gazzetta note, beyond those two European strikes, Thuram has scored just three times in 2025. Moreover, as Thuram's substitute appearance against Monterrey showed, there is a real lack of sharpness to the France international's play. It is hard to avoid the impression that Thuram is playing within himself due to his physical condition.

An incredible Bvlgari resort is coming to Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi's luxury hospitality scene is set for a major glow-up. Italian luxury brand Bvlgari has announced a new resort and private mansions development in the UAE capital, in partnership with local real estate powerhouse Eagle Hills. The project, named Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Abu Dhabi, is set to open in 2030 and promises to become one of the region's most exclusive escapes and one of Abu Dhabi's best hotels. The new destination will be set on a private, horseshoe-shaped island with sweeping views of the open sea on one side and the iconic Qasr Al Watan and Abu Dhabi skyline on the other. Think total seclusion, a dramatic sense of arrival and sunset views that could rival any in the region. Access will be via a purpose-built bridge or by sea, adding to the resort's sense of privacy and exclusivity. The project will include a luxury resort with 60 rooms and suites, 30 beachside villas with private pools and 90 high-end mansions. Each element is designed to blend Italian elegance with Arabian heritage, with architecture by Milan-based ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and landscape design by LAND SRL. The vision? A sculptural, gold-and-glass retreat rising from the sand – infused with regional identity and international flair. Guests can without a doubt expect the full Bvlgari experience: impeccable design, flawless service and world-class dining. The resort will feature signature restaurants such as Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, curated by award-winning chef and Hōseki, Bvlgari's exclusive Japanese concept. Also on offer will be a refined Turkish restaurant, the stylish Bvlgari Bar, La Spiaggia beachside dining and the brand's much-loved Il Caffè and Bvlgari Dolci. We're seriously not complaining. A standout wellness offering is also in the works. The resort will house a 2,000 sqm spa with a 25-meter lap pool, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and a landscaped wellness sanctuary designed to pay tribute to the region's cultural and environmental traditions. There's also a 40-berth private marina and Yacht Club with an exclusive membership programme, private beach and extensive water sports options, all designed to elevate the coastal lifestyle experience. For those looking to call this place home, the 90 private mansions – some with their own docks, no less, others with uninterrupted sea or cove views – promise a new level of waterfront living. Ranging from 1,650 to 2,500 sqm, the homes will come with private beaches, sweeping views and designs that fuse local influence with global sophistication. Behind the development is Eagle Hills, the real estate firm founded by Mohamed Alabbar, the name behind projects like Downtown Dubai and the Belgrade Waterfront. With developments in over 18 countries, Eagle Hills is no stranger to crafting destination landmarks – and this latest collaboration with Bvlgari looks set to do just that. The opening may still be five years away, but Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Abu Dhabi is already shaping up to be one of the capital's most talked-about future addresses. Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari said: 'With Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Abu Dhabi, we continue our magnificent journey of bringing Bvlgari's distinctive elegance and craftsmanship to the world's most remarkable destinations. 'This project is a tribute to Abu Dhabi's unique cultural identity, blending timeless sophistication with modern luxury. This project will set a new milestone in Haute Hospitality and I'm particularly happy to develop it with our long-standing Retail Partner and friend, Mohamed Alabbar, always striving for the highest standards'. Mohamed Alabbar, Founder and Chairman of Eagle Hills, added: 'Abu Dhabi has always stood for vision and grace. This partnership with Bvlgari reaffirms our commitment to placing the Emirate at the epicentre of luxury living – where exceptional design, exclusivity, and Arabian soul converge.' Patricia Viel, CEO of ACPV ARCHITECTS, said: 'The project captures the best aspects of its location – secluded and immersed in nature and the sea – while remaining within easy reach of central Abu Dhabi. 'Life on the island is enriched by a diverse landscape, carefully designed environments, and sweeping views of both the sea and the city. The Bulgari Resort & Mansions offers a thoughtfully curated setting that fosters a strong sense of place. The interplay of architecture, natural surroundings, and exceptional amenities creates a distinctive and refined living environment.'

Exclusive: Base10 leads €25M round for Italian HR startup Jet HR
Jet HR, a Milan-based platform serving small and midsized enterprises, raised €25 million in funding led by Base10 Partners, founder Marco Ogliengo tells Axios exclusively. Why it matters: There is increased investor appetite for vertical SaaS solutions tailored to regional markets with high regulatory complexity. How it works: Jet HR provides an all-in-one payroll and HR platform that is specifically designed to navigate Italy's complex payroll regulations. It integrates with over 600 government entities and offers modules for payroll, health and safety course management, VAT account management, shift scheduling, and time and attendance tracking. The big picture: Italy's payroll processing market is notably expensive and complex, averaging over €30 per employee per month compared to about $6 for U.S.-based payroll services. Jet HR is betting that its digital-first platform and simplified regulatory management give it an edge over legacy incumbents like Zucchetti and TeamSystem, which Ogliengo says rely more heavily on manual processes. By the numbers: The startup says it grew its annual recurring revenue 6x in 2024 and serves more than 700 customers, primarily SMEs with an average of around 15 employees. Context: Before Jet HR, Ogliengo founded ProntoPro, a marketplace for local service professionals — like a Thumbtack for Italy. Zoom in: Since its founding in December 2022, Jet has raised about €42 million from investors that include Exor Ventures, Italian Founders Fund, and Picus Capital. Ogliengo notes the company was close to breaking even without the additional funding, but "having more capital now increases our optionality significantly," he says. Between the lines: The round marks Base10's first investment in Italy, reflecting a growing interest in under-invested European markets. "We were already very well networked across Europe through our existing investors. The first thing Base10 brings is the U.S. network. Moreover, Base10 is specialized in vertical SaaS and payroll and accounting," Ogliengo says. Along with the funding, Base10's Adeyemi Ajao — founder of Tuenti and former investor in Stripe, Nubank, and Cabify — will join Jet HR's board. What's next: Jet HR plans to double its team in the next 18 months, primarily investing in software engineering and product development.

Inter Milan & Italy Trio Must Recover Mentally From Absolute Devastation Of Serie A, Champions League & FIFA World Cup Qualifier Collapse
Federico Dimarco, Alessandro Bastoni, and Nicolo Barella will have to recover mentally from the devastation of collapses by Inter Milan and Italy. This is the view in today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement It would be a significant understatement to say that it has been a tough three weeks for Federico Dimarco, Alessandro Bastoni, and Nicolo Barella. First, there was the disappointment of missing out on the Serie A title. Losing out to Napoli was already tough. But the manner in which it happened – losing on the final day after repeatedly failing to take advantage of opportunities to put the title race to bed – stung all the more. Then, the Champions League final was even more devastating for Inter. Losing another final in narrow fashion as they had against Manchester City in 2023 would have been heartbreaking for Inter. But the 5-0 blowout loss to Paris Saint-Germain was something else entirely. Advertisement It is possible that the Italian internationals will have hoped the international break was an opportunity to reset. However, the misery followed them to the Azzurri camp. They lost 3-0 against Norway to get their World Cup qualifying campaign to the worst conceivable start. Dimarco, Bastoni & Barella Must Recover Mentally From Inter & Italy Collapse MUNICH, GERMANY – MAY 31: Nicolo Barella of FC Internazionale reacts towards Referee Istvan Kovacs during the UEFA Champions League Final 2025 between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Internazionale Milano at Munich Football Arena on May 31, 2025 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by) For Federico Dimarco, Alessandro Bastoni, and Nicolo Barella, it will feel like the rug has been pulled from under them. However, notes the Gazzetta, the trio cannot afford to dwell on these feelings. Dimarco, Bastoni, and Barella are all still key figures for Inter. No matter how the last few weeks have gone. Advertisement Therefore, recovering confidence will be the most important task. Inter need all of Dimarco, Bastoni, and Barella to believe that they are capable of reaching their best levels. Otherwise, things might only continue to get worse, in a self-fulfilling prophecy.
