Barcelona midfielder Pedri has revealed that winning the Ballon d’Or is a goal he dreams of achieving in the future.

Speaking ahead of Barcelona’s UEFA Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan, Pedri pointed to Manchester City’s Rodri as an example, noting that midfielders who control the game now have a chance at winning the prestigious award.

While he acknowledged his ambition, Pedri stressed that his focus remains on helping Barcelona succeed as a team. “Winning the Ballon d’Or has always been my dream,” he said. “But right now, I’m focused on helping the team win three titles. That’s the most important thing.”

Pedri, who played a key role in Barcelona’s recent Copa del Rey win over Real Madrid, added that after the season concludes, he’ll reassess and see if it’s the right time to think about individual honors. With Barcelona fighting for the La Liga title and a Champions League semifinal spot, the young midfielder’s focus is squarely on the team’s goals.

Napoli have been cautioned against signing Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, despite his strong form for Atalanta last season. Italian football analyst Marcelo Altamura believes Lookman struggles with tactical discipline and often ignores instructions on the pitch.

Instead, he advised the Serie A champions to go for Mattia Zaccagni and Dan Ndoye, whom he described as more reliable and better suited to Napoli’s system.

Speaking on 1 Station Radio, Altamura explained, “Zaccagni and Ndoye are solid players. Ndoye is fast, technical, and disciplined. Unlike Lookman, he follows instructions and fits into the team structure.”

He described Lookman as a gifted player who can score brilliant goals but tends to drift from the game plan. Lookman finished the 2024–25 Serie A season with 15 goals and 5 assists in 31 appearances, sparking interest from top clubs including Napoli.

TRT Spor pundit Kaya Çilingiroğlu has sparked debate after claiming that Argentina’s Mauro Icardi is a better striker than Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen. Both players were teammates at Galatasaray last season, where Osimhen made a big impact during his loan spell from Napoli. Galatasaray is now pushing to keep the 26-year-old forward permanently, reportedly offering him a staggering €25 million per year to sign a long-term deal.

However, Çilingiroğlu doesn’t seem worried about whether Osimhen stays or not. “Even if Osimhen doesn’t return, it’s not a big deal,” he said. “Icardi is better. If I know football, Osimhen can’t earn that kind of money anywhere else in Europe.” He added that as time passes, Galatasaray gains more leverage in the negotiations.

Jadon Sancho is attracting serious interest from two top Italian clubs as he weighs his next move away from Manchester United this summer.

Juventus have reportedly opened talks with United in recent hours over a potential deal for the England international. Napoli are also keen and have made direct contact with Sancho’s representatives to explore the possibility of bringing him to Naples.

The winger spent last season on loan at Chelsea, but the London side chose not to make the move permanent. Sancho has since returned to Old Trafford, but with new manager Ruben Amorim yet to finalize his squad for next season, the winger’s future remains uncertain. A final decision on his next club is expected soon.
