Lautaro shines for Argentina ahead of the World Cup
Lautaro Martínez is hitting form at exactly the right time. The Inter striker scored from the penalty spot and delivered a clever backheel assist in Argentina's friendly win, the final warm-up before the World Cup kicks off (1) (2).
Lionel Messi sat this one out, but Lautaro stepped up. He now sits as the second-highest scorer under coach Lionel Scaloni, behind only Messi himself (1) (2).
Speaking after the match, Lautaro was direct: "Today I arrive at the World Cup the way I want to" (1). For Inter fans, a confident and sharp Lautaro heading into the tournament is exactly what you want to see.
Fenerbahçe candidate claims Çalhanoğlu agreement
A fresh rumor from Turkey: Fenerbahçe presidential candidate Hakan Safi says his camp has reached a pre-agreement with Hakan Çalhanoğlu (3).
A big claim, but treat it with caution. Candidates make noise during election campaigns, and no Inter source has confirmed anything. Still, Çalhanoğlu remains one of your most important midfielders, and any suggestion he could leave will raise eyebrows.
