CREMONA, Italy -- Inter Milan's match at Cremonese had to be halted Sunday for a few minutes after home goalkeeper Emil Audero was struck by a flare. The incident happened at the start of the second half. Play was in the middle of the field when a flare was thrown from the away fans sector into the penalty area, striking Audero.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Nottingham Forest are in the final stages of negotiations with Inter Milan over a loan deal for Davide Frattesi. A potential deal is expected to include an option for the Premier League club to turn it into a permanent transfer at the end of the season. The final decision, however, will be down to the player himself.
Inter Milan really likes Bayern Munich center-back Kim Min-jae, but is not willing to upset its budget structure to bring him in: Kim Min-jae is Milan's ideal solution to strengthen their backline in January. But to make him a viable option, it has to be a loan deal with a potential option/obligation to buy. Given his limited role at Bayern this season, Kim would be open to a return to Italy. But such a deal with Bayern is complicated.
At this point, it has become well-established that FC Barcelona intend to sign a new centre-back in the summer transfer window of 2026. The Blaugrana's priority is to bring in a left-footed centre-back and multiple sources have reported that Inter Milan heavyweight Alessandro Bastoni is the main target. In fact, reports even suggested that a meeting had taken place between Barcelona director Deco and Bastoni's agent when the former was in Milan recently.
Guglielmo Vicario has been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur in recent months. The Italian has done a reasonably good job since joining the London club, but he has been criticised for his inconsistencies. He has particularly struggled to deal with aerial balls during his time at the club. According to L'Interista, Inter Milan are now interested in securing his signature, and they view him as the ideal replacement for Yann Sommer.
