FIGC just banned wearing the number 88.
88 is two croats - Pasalic and Basic at Atalanta and Lazio. 18 (Adolph Hitler) is a lot more popular as a jersey number, but I dont think theres a connection between most of the players and fascism, Kean f.e. doesnt seem like a likely candidate :D The Lazio croat though might as well be a radical nut.

Buffon was 88 too a long time ago.

'Inter set for new Lukaku bid'
Inter Milan are set to make a new bid to sign Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The Blues have reportedly already rejected one offer from Inter to take Lukaku on another season-long loan.
It is now claimed that the Italian side are likely to propose signing the Belgian on another season-long loan, but this time with the option to buy him for £25.8m next summer. Chelsea are expected to insist on an obligation, rather than an option but there is a feeling in Italy that a deal can be agreed.
The report says Lukaku has told Chelsea that his priority is to return to Inter with AC Milan, Juventus and Al-Hilal not of interest to the 30-year-old.

This is according to David Ornstein of The Athletic, so it’s as official as it gets.

Update — 2:00PM EDT: English reports confirm the German ones
In case you thought that Falk and Pletti were jumping the shark, now both David Ornstein and Charlie Eccleshere are confirming what we already knew — that Bayern Munich and Harry Kane have already sorted personal terms. Anyone familiar with how this club operates knew that already. Bayern Munich never bid before securing personal terms with a player first.
Now, the question is ... how much will it take for Daniel Levy to budge?

Update — 10:00AM EDT: Harry Kane has a deal in place with Bayern Munich
According to Chrisitan Falk of Bild, Bayern Munich and Kane have agreed personal terms. The deal was negotiated by the striker’s family. Convincing the player to move is always the most critical step in any transfer and it seems like Bayern have done the impossible. An EPL star and England international agreeing to move to Germany in the prime of their career is certainly a big deal for the league — IF this deal can be pulled off.

Meanwhile, per Kerry Hau of Sport1 (via @iMiaSanMia), Bayern are still keeping the Osimhen move open in the background as an alternative to Kane.
Update — 9:00AM EDT: Kane considering Bayern move
According to Daily Mail reporter Sami Mokbel, Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is considering a move to Bayern Munich. Twitter account @iMiaSanMia captured Mokbel’s news:
Harry Kane is open to joining Bayern Munich this summer. The Bundesliga side are confident that the England captain would accept a move to Bavaria this summer. It now remains to be seen whether Bayern return with an improved offer to further test Spurs’ resolve.
It has been widely held view that Kane prefers to stay in England, but his only realistic English suitor - Manchester United - are looking at alternatives amid concerns over his price and the prospect of negotiating with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.
Kane would now give consideration to a move to Bayern, where the striker knows he would virtually guaranteed of challenging for trophies. Bayern would unlikely have put Kane at the top of their plans without some form of encouragement that he would join them.​
If true, big things could be happening (Premier League scoring record be damned), but there is a long way to go and Tottenham Hotspur might not be willing to part ways with a club legend just yet.
Stay tuned!

Update — 7:10AM EDT: Spurs reject Bayern bid
Spurs journos are holding the line, saying that the club will reject any such bid made by Bayern. We’ve got a saga on our hands, folks.

But what WILL Spurs ask for? How far will Bayern Munich go?

“Should they receive one.” Looks like someone’s info is a little bit outdated.
Forget Osimhen, forget Kolo Muani. Bayern Munich are aiming for the sky, and that’s gonna come with a sky high price tag. According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Bayern Munich have submitted an official bid of €70m + add-ons for Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane. The Bundesliga champions, per recent reports, see him as their number one striker target for this summer.

Given that this is David Ornstein we’re talking about, this report can basically be taken as official fact. His sources in England, especially among London clubs, are rock solid. Therefore, the Bayern bosses must think Kane is willing to come to the Bundesliga if they’ve made a bid like this. It’s almost certainly going to fall short of Daniel Levy’s desired price, but that’s what negotiations are for.
What this means is that Bayern are finally moving on the striker issue. After weeks of nothing but rumor, we have our first news of the club making a concrete move — and what a move it is! Enticing Harry Kane, the English captain and a top EPL striker, to the Bundesliga will take no mean feat.
The club is not messing around this summer. However, if the bidding for Kane has started, then you can be sure that other clubs across Europe will take notice. Real Madrid, Manchester United, and all the rest have been put on alert.
Now, can the Bavarians pull this off? Is this actually gonna happen, for real? Or, like Declan Rice, will this end up being another wild goose chase? We’ll have to wait and find out. Exciting times.

English players are always stupidly expensive and Danial Levy is a bitch to negotiate with but, Kane is one of the best strikers in the world. He does all types of finishing, has great hold-up, and now he even plays from deep because he passes really well. He is that player if Arsenal, United, or Liverpool take him then they win the EPL. The guy does crazy numbers in a dogshit Spurs team, every single year. I think Madrid will snatch him to replace Benzema but, Bayern should press for him.

tbh I dont quite understand the hate about Kane, ignore the fact that he's English for one moment and you'll understand that he is a complete forward that any team in the world would love to have, goals scored, his general build up play I mean only Benzema is comparable tbh.

Honestly, if he were German, Dutch, Belgian, Austrian, Swiss, or French; and that was the ONLY difference; I would only be angry we didn't get him at 25 or 27.

According to an extensive report from Raphael Honigstein of The Athletic, Bayern Munich has been pursuing Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane for roughly 12 months. However, Bayern Munich did not think a move was possible after initial talks, but now things are different for everyone involved.
With just a year left on his deal now, Kane has a little more power to force a move if he wants a transfer — and both parties are “optimistic” that a deal could get done. Aside of his talent, Honigstein says that Kane would bring a strong, mature presence to the locker room, which was also appealing. Plus, Bayern Munich can use Kane as a marketing vehicle to help expand the club’s exposure and presence in England.
However, getting Kane is going to be a massive challenge, as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has “no desire” to let him go and will continue to push Kane to sign a contract extension.
Therein lies the rub.
As we have seen already this summer, Bayern Munich has been used as a bidding leverage in transfer battles involving West Ham midfielder Declan Rice (expected to go to Arsenal FC or Manchester City) and potentially with Manchester City’s Kyle Walker as well (though that situation is still open).
If however, Tottenham Hotspur does decide to sell Kane, Bayern Munich is likely going to have to pay €116 million or more, unless Levy relents on his demands. For whatever it might be worth, Tottenham Hotspur is also said to have done some contingency planning in the event that selling Kane became an option.
Now, that strategy might have to be deployed.
More than anything for Bayern Munich fans, though, there is Honigstein’s deft one-line explanation of how this all erupted earlier today:
The Tottenham striker declared his readiness to join Bayern in recent talks with Tuchel.​
If Kane is truly ready, it is now down to how long Levy wants to drag this out in trying to convince the Englishman to stay.
