      Football fans are just realising why Inter Milan’s badge is black and blue – and it’s actually very simple

      by

      How the original Inter badge looked
      And while the intrigue of their rivals’ badge comes from the cross on their emblem, the interesting part of Inter’s comes in the form of their chosen colours.
      The blue and black combination represents the sky and the night.
      This explains their nickname, the Nerazzurri, with “Ner” meaning black and “Azzurri” meaning blue.
      They are also known affectionately as The Grass Snake or Serpente.

      This relates to the emblem of the House of Visconte – a Milan family who controlled the city in the 13th century.
      What’s more, the circle of the badge holds within it the letters “FCIM” – which stand for FC Inter Milan.
      The club crest was first created in 1908 and modernised in 2014 – but has principally remained the same.
      And Inter will be hoping the 2022/23 campaign is a memorable one.

      But City are now also in the hunt for a player who has been compared to Paul Pogba – his childhood idol.
      The Pogba link led to assumptions that Ndour would be keen to join his hero at Juventus.
      But the 6ft 3in teenager is not thought to favour a return to Italy as he considers his options.
      SunSport understands that City scouts have been watching him closely in action for both Benfica and Italy’s Under-20 side.

      At just 16 years and 269 days, Ndour was the youngest player ever to represent the team – beating the record set by Chelsea loan star Joao Felix.
      He made his debut for Benfica’s first team in March and has seven caps for Italy’s under-20 side.

      But why do AC Milan and Inter Milan share the San Siro?
      Why do AC Milan and Inter Milan play in the same stadium
      The San Siro was constructed in 1926 and was the first home stadium of AC Milan.
      During that time, Inter would play their home games in the smaller Arena Civic.
      It wasn’t until 1947 that both sides called the San Siro their home ground.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      They ground share for many reasons including a lack of alternatives in the city of Milan and simply the convenience for both sets of fans to get to the stadium.
      The San Siro is located in the centre of Milan, making it easily accessible for fans of both sides.
      To avoid fixtures clashing, the two teams never have home games on the same day.
      Is the San Siro going to be demolished?
      Reports in Italy claimed that the San Siro is going to be demolished in 2024.

      The demolishing of the iconic stadium is thought to pave the way for a new modern £1billion stadium.
      However, last year a senior official in Italy’s culture ministry Vittorio Sgarbi said that the “San Siro will not be torn down”.
      He told II Giorno: “I am convinced that the stadium should not be demolished, not so much for its architectural value as for the importance as a symbol and for the protection of memory.” 
      When is AC Milan vs Inter Milan?

      AC Milan vs Inter Milan will take place on Wednesday, May 10th
      Kick off will be at 8pm GMT

      Chelsea could take lead in Osimhen transfer race with huge swap deal as Napoli keen on Blues outcast

      by

      CHELSEA could be given a boost in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen as Napoli are monitoring Blues winger Christian Pulisic. Osimhen has been electric for the Serie A champions and is wanted by many of Europe’s elite clubs.
      Victor Osimhen has netted 56 times and registered 14 assists in just 97 appearances for Napoli
      Chelsea are reportedly amongst the the teams looking to sign the Nigerian and could have a good chance attracting him to Stamford Bridge.
      According to The Mail Online Napoli are interested in signing Chelsea outcast Pulisic, paving the way for a potential swap deal.
      Pulisic has fallen out of favour at Chelsea and failed to make the impact he was ecpected to since his £55million move from Borussia Dortmund.
      The London club have had a disappointing season despite spending almost £400m on new signings.

      Napoli reportedly want £130m for Osimhen, who has netted 23 league goals this season.
      The figure could be too high for Chelsea with growing concerns around the club about Financial Fair Play.
      The possibility of a swap deal would make the deal more affordable for Chelsea and more attractive for Napoli despite Chelsea being unable to offer Champions League football next season.
      It has also been reported that Romelu Lukaku could be considered as part of a swap deal with the £100million striker returning to London from his loan at Inter in the summer.

      The former Lille striker spoke about his future following Napoli’s historic league title securing night against Fiorentina.
      He said: “I feel like a leader and I never give up. Future? Now I want to enjoy this historic moment, this is not the time to think about my future.” More

      Jose Mourinho ‘to sign ex-£40m Arsenal target on free transfer’ as Roma build for potential Champions League campaign

      by

      JOSE MOURINHO is closing in on signing Houssem Aouar on a free transfer.The Lyon playmaker, 24, was a long-term target for Arsenal and Liverpool.
      Houssem Aouar looks set to be joining Roma from Lyon for freeCredit: Getty
      Both Premier League clubs were heavily linked with a £40million-plus move, especially to the Emirates way back in 2018.
      However, he stayed put with his boyhood French club – racking up 231 appearances – although just 16 of those have come this season as he was frozen out amid speculation over his future.
      But according to Sky Italia, Aouar has reached an agreement to join Roma when his Lyon contract expires this summer.
      The deal is said to just need signatures before being completed.

      That will come as a blow to Real Betis and even Manchester United, with both clubs said to be interested and monitoring the situation.
      But Aouar looks set to join the Giallorossi and work under Mourinho at the Stadio Olimpico.
      Roma – who still have hopes of rising up from seventh to qualify for the Champions League – were first interested in the midfielder last summer.
      Aouar joined the Lyon academy aged 11 in 2009 and made his senior first-team debut in February 2017.

      He was handed the No8 jersey as a teenager ahead of the 2017-18 season and was nominated for the Golden Boy award the following year.
      Aouar forced his way into the 2019-20 Champions League Team of the Season as Lyon knocked Juventus and Manchester City out on the way to the semi-finals.
      He earned one senior cap for France in a friendly in October 2020 – after twice pulling out of the squad with injury and Covid.
      However, in March 2023 he switched international allegiance to Algeria, the homeland of his parents – and admitted he “regretted” playing for France.

      Reporters in Italy said the crowd were chanting “gypsy s***” towards the 23-year-old.
      In response, referee Daniele Doveri stopped the game.
      However, the shocking chants then came back stronger following the restart.
      Serbian striker Vlahovic then silenced the crowd with a stunning late goal deep into stoppage time to add to Englishman Samuel Iling-Junior’s first-half effort.

      Following his goal, the former Arsenal transfer target aimed a shushing gesture to the crowd.
      Vlahovic was then given a yellow card for his celebration.
      Italian journalist Leonardo Bertozzi slammed the procedure after the chants – before questioning whether a caution should have been given to Vlahovic.
      He wrote on Twitter: “The protocol (when followed) is inefficient and the lack of severe punishment is practically an invitation to repeat these cases…

      “Is it worth stopping the game and ignoring the context of the outburst afterwards?”
      This echoes sickening scenes last month when Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku was sent off following his shushing celebration after being on the end of racist chants from Juventus fans.
      Comments made by Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini following the incident were also slammed as “disgusting” by journalist Marco Giordano.
      Gasperini told Sky Sport after the game: “Fighting racism? Yes, but we need to differentiate: we too have players like [Mario] Pasalic or [Berat] Djimsiti.
      “We don’t need to lump everything together.”
      Both Atalanta stars Gasperini named in his interview, like Vlahovic, hail from the Balkans. More
