The Serie A club revealed that Emerson has agreed to a contract running until June 30, 2028, with the possibility of extending it for another year. The 25-year-old, who has earned 10 caps for Brazil, joined Milan for an initial fee of €15 million, with an additional €2 million in potential add-ons.

Inter confirmed that the Argentina striker, who was pivotal in their Copa America triumph, has penned a deal extending until June 30, 2029, and will earn a net salary of €9 million per season. Lautaro’s decision to stay with Inter is a huge boost for the club, which changed ownership earlier this summer.

After winning their 20th league title, Inter’s previous owners, Suning, defaulted on a loan repayment, leading to the investment fund Oaktree taking control. Despite this change, Oaktree has maintained continuity, including extending coach Simone Inzaghi’s contract to 2026 and securing midfielder Nicolo Barella until 2029.

In other transfer news, Maximilian Beier has signed a five-year deal with Borussia Dortmund following a medical with the Bundesliga club. The 21-year-old striker, who joined Dortmund from Hoffenheim for a reported €30 million, is eager to advance his career after a successful season in the Bundesliga.

Dortmund’s sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, praised Beier’s on-field versatility and potential for further development, highlighting his fit for the club.
