Door opens for Liverpool to sign world-class winger
Arne Slot's team is undergoing a metamorphosis this summer. They were already the best side in the Premier League by a country mile last season.

Now they have added even more firepower to the squad and have upgraded Slot's options in several areas. Florian Wirtz has the potential to give even more ammunition in attack alongside Mohamed Salah.
On the wings, the speed and energy of Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez will make the Reds even more unpredictable.
Meanwhile, Giorgi Mamardashvili's arrival alongside Freddie Woodman and Armin Pecsi will push Alisson to become even better as the club's no.1 goalkeeper. Mamardashvili after all is a real threat to his position as the club's first choice.
On top of that, more arrivals are expected. Liverpool want a no.9 and at this stage it looks very likely that the no.9 they will sign could become Hugo Ekitike.
But he won't be the only attacker coming in.
Several other Liverpool players face uncertain futures at the club. Darwin Nunez is still open to leaving the Reds. It remains to be seen what happens to Federico Chiesa.
Meanwhile, the likeliest player at the moment to leave is probably Luis Diaz. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the Colombian plans to leave the club this summer and Bayern Munich are accelerating a move to sign him.
With Diaz on the move, Liverpool will need to find a replacement for him and it looks like the doors are now slowly opening for them to sign a world-class winger.
One player who has been on Michael Edwards' radar for close to a decade is Rodrygo. Around eight years ago when the Brazilian was just 16-years-old, he turned down a move to Anfield.
Back then, Rodrygo was holding out for his 'dream' move to Real Madrid, which in the end came to fruition. But now that dream is facing a major obstacle.
According to Spanish journalist, Anton Meana speaking on El Larguero, Rodrygo needs to leave Real Madrid. The Brazilian is no longer considered a serious option in Xabi Alonso's squad and the doors have opened for him to make a move to the Premier League.
The reporter also claimed that Arsenal are no longer an option for Rodrygo but Chelsea could still be in the conversation for him.
Meana also mentioned how Diaz's move to Bayern will 'open the door' for Rodrygo to join Liverpool. And it seems like the club's pursuit and move will hinge on that factor.
Diaz, at this stage, looks increasingly likely to leave so the doors will open. Whether Liverpool can strike an agreement remains to be seen.
It's definitely a move that is worth keeping a close eye on. There's always the danger of Chelsea hijacking the deal, too.

For the love of the environment: Bundesliga club shuns new kits!
While all clubs are presenting their new jerseys like Haute Couture on the Milan catwalk, Belgian champion Royal Union Saint-Gilloise is relying on tried and tested. The former club of Victor Boniface is not presenting a new shirt for the 2025/2026 season. It's being recycled! Instead of daring fashion experiments, Saint-Gilloise is opting for sustainability and trusting that its own players won't gain too much weight during the summer break. After all, last season's jersey still has to fit next year! Fans are reacting divided: some are celebrating the green approach, while others are sad because they no longer have an excuse to buy a new jersey. The sentence "But darling, it's for the collection" no longer applies in the case of a Saint-Gilloise fan. The Belgians will thus be playing not only against opponents but also against climate change in the future. They want to "minimize waste production and ecological footprint," the Brussels team explained. But seriously: this is a really successful campaign!

Man United Women's trio crowned European champions
Manchester United trio Ella Toone, Grace Clinton and Maya Le Tissier are champions of Europe. England completed a storybook victory over Spain with their second penalty shootout victory of the tournament. The Lionesses drew the match 1-1 and after extra-time, beat the World champions 3-1 on penalties to win their second consecutive Women's Euros. Former Red Devils played major role Former Red Devils also played an important role as Spain's Ona Battle, who used to play for United, provided the cross for the Spaniards' opening goal. Fellow former United striker, Alessia Russo also headed in England's equaliser in normal time. Ella Toone wins second Euros Toone scored a goal in the final of Euro 2022 and despite having a more significant role last time out, she did play her part. She completed 87% of her passes during her 87 minutes on the pitch, before being replaced by Bethany Mead. Toone also had one successful dribble attempt and had one effort on goal that was blocked. She also had one key pass during the game and made one clearance and interception. Toone finished the tournament with two goals and two assists and started in five consecutive matches after missing out in the opening match. Grace Clinton had much less time on the pitch during the tournament but she did provide a 5 minute cameo in the final, as she entered the field of play after 115 minutes. She did get some time on the pitch in five of England's six games, including all three knockout matches. Maya Le Tissier failed to see a minute of action but being around a winning squad will do her the world of good. United's 23-year-old captain will undoubtedly play her part for England in many major tournaments to come. Manchester United Women's X sent a congratulatory message to the United trio. In addition, the male team posted a photo on X of some of the squad watching the final whilst on pre-season tour of the United States. Whilst the trio will go and enjoy a well-earned holiday, United Women will be back in action soon in pre-season. They have four matches in August including an opening fixture against Aston Villa this coming Sunday. There are also exciting games against Liverpool, Real Betis and Manchester City on the horizon before the Women's Super league begins in September.

Roma interested in Devis Vasquez as second-choice keeper
Roma are also making moves on the goalkeeping front. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Giallorossi have inquired about Devis Vasquez who has recently become a free agent following his unsuccessful spell at AC Milan. Born in 1998, Vasquez arrived at AC Milan in January 2023 from Paraguayan club Guaraní, but never managed to find a place in the first team. After a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday and two mixed seasons at Ascoli and Empoli, the goalkeeper is now in Roma's sights, which is evaluating him as a possible free transfer alternative while waiting to finalize Gollini's future. No negotiations have been made at this time, but contacts have been initiated.
