Inter winger Ivan Perisic said he’s 'convinced' the Nerazzurri will ‘make it’ to the knockout stages of the Champions League this season.

The Beneamata were eliminated from the group stage last term and opened 2020-21 with a 2-2 draw with Borussia Mönchengladbach on Wednesday.

Perisic, who won the competition whilst on loan at Bayern Munich last season, stressed they have a ‘long road’ ahead.

Inter reportedly offered Bayern Munich to swap Christian Eriksen with defender Jerome Boateng last month.

Bild claims Inter had contacted Die Roten and proposed an exchange deal involving the Denmark international and the former Manchester City defender.

Juventus and PSG are believed to be competing for the chance to sign David Alaba as a free agent when his Bayern Munich contract expires.

The 28-year-old centre-back will be out of contract at the end of this season, after more than a decade in the Bayern jersey.

He does not seem intent on signing an extension, so clubs are already circling to see who will pick up a bargain for the Austria international.

According to Tuttosport, Juve are positioning themselves as the favourites to take Alaba to Turin.

Brazilian winger Douglas Costa was ‘happy’ returning to Bayern Munich after three years at Juventus and sure he’ll win more titles with the Bavarians.

The former Shakhtar Donetsk forward moved from Die Roten to Italy and played 103 competitive games for the Old Lady, helping them to three Scudetti, the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana.

He arrived for €40m in the summer of 2017, having picked up two Bundesliga titles, one DFB Cup and the DFL Supercup.

German and Italian reports claim Douglas Costa is leaving Juventus for a return to Bayern Munich on loan, again creating room for Federico Chiesa.

Kicker, Sky Sport Deutschland and Sky Sport Italia all claim this evening a deal has been struck for the Brazilian to go back to his old club.

It is a dry loan, so with no option to buy, but Bayern will cover the Douglas Costa salary and likely give a small figure to Juve for the loan period.

Lazio forward Ciro Immobile said ‘it’s incredible to have scored more goals’ than his 'role model' Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich.

Immobile, who scored 36 League goals for Lazio in 2019-20, finished above every other striker and therefore picked up the European Golden Boot.

“To win the Gold Boot makes me very proud,” Immobile told German newspaper Bild. “Lewandowski has always been a role model for me.

“If I could vote for the Ballon d’Or, I would give him my vote.”
