Al Nassr also interested in Angelino
Angelino remains on his way out of Roma.
The capital club do not intend to keep the fullback who does not seem to be fit Gian Piero Gasperini's plans.
After the deal with Al Hilal fell through, Roma tasked several intermediaries to find a solution for the Spaniard.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, in addition to Atletico Madrid, Al Nassr have also shown interest in the ex-Leipzig man.
With his sale, Roma would be able to reinvest in Maxim De Cuyper of Clubbe Brugge who is considered the ideal replacement.

Liverpool complete signing of Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez
Liverpool have completed the £40million signing of Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez on a five-year contract. The 21-year-old is the club's third arrival this summer, following Jeremie Frimpong and club-record transfer Florian Wirtz. Advertisement And with Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili joining next month in a deal done 12 months ago there will be more than £200million of new talent present when pre-season training starts in a fortnight. Kerkez, who links up with fellow Hungary international Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield, is viewed as the long-term successor to 31-year-old Andy Robertson, who is a target for Atletico Madrid. It is understood the club have no intention of forcing out the Scotland international, who started in 29 of his 33 Premier League appearances last season but is in the final year of his contract.

Milos Kerkez lets hair down with brother amid Liverpool transfer wait after medical
Liverpool is yet to confirm the signing of Milos Kerkez, although his imminent arrival is the worst-kept secret in soccer. Almost every stage of the process has been public knowledge, such that we now know that he has completed his medical — after which he appears to have enjoyed a night out with his brother and others. Advertisement The cause of the delay in the move up to this point is "technical bits and bobs," but there are no fears that the transfer will fall through. Something of Nabil Fekir proportions would need to happen to prevent Kerkez from becoming a Liverpool player now. Incidentally, Jurgen Klopp recently revealed that signing Fekir would have meant there was no money for Alisson. But while that certainly worked out for the best, there are no obvious reasons to root against Kerkez completing the final formalities. READ MORE: Milos Kerkez handed clear Liverpool transfer warning - 'Don't bother coming' READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Viktor Gyokeres stance, Milos Kerkez medical, Marc Guehi latest Advertisement There's some dispute over where exactly the Fekir move fell apart, although some say it was the medical. That won't be an issue for Kerkez, who has seemingly completed the relevant tests. According to Fabrizio Romano, Kerkez can be considered a Liverpool player already, having completed a medical and agreed his contract. The exact nature of the technical hold-ups is unclear, but the Hungarian doesn't seem to be too concerned by it all. Taking to Instagram, his brother shared photos of the two of them on a night out. Both looked care-free — perhaps celebrating the completion of the final details? We shouldn't have to wait too long to find out. An announcement could come any time, confirming Liverpool's fifth piece of completed business this summer. Advertisement Kerkez would be the second Hungarian added to the ranks in the current transfer window, after 20-year-old goalkeeper Armin Pecsi arrived from Puskas Akademia. With Vitezslav Jaros and Harvey Davies signing new deals and then going out on loan (to Ajax and Crawley respectively), the youngster could slot in as the third-choice stopper. Milos Kerkez is expected to join Liverpool -Credit:Shaun Brooks - CameraSport via Getty Images The second-choice goalkeeper is likely to be Giorgi Mamardashvili. His transfer was confirmed last summer, but the decision to keep him at Valencia for a year was not structured as a loan, so his arrival has only been made official in this window. Meanwhile, Liverpool has been busy sourcing outfielders too, pulling off an audacious double swoop on Bayer Leverkusen. First through the door was Jeremie Frimpong, who could end up patrolling the opposite flank to Kerkez. Advertisement It would be wrong to forget about Conor Bradley; there's every chance that Frimpong faces a struggle for the right-back berth, and there will also be times when he is used further forward as Mohamed Salah cover. Either way, it's a shrewd piece of business. But the jewel in the crown is Florian Wirtz. One of the most exciting young players in the game, Liverpool broke its transfer record to pull off the incredible coup. There's no denying that it's a hugely exciting time to be joining Liverpool. No wonder Kerkez is in a partying mood. Once pre-season starts, he will need to knuckle down to win the spot. As things stand, Andy Robertson is still the incumbent, although the club legend has been tentatively linked with a move away. But for now, it's nice to see Kerkez enjoying his break. Joining Liverpool will mean more games to contend with than ever before, and reporting for duty recharged is the best thing he can do.

Predicted Starting Line-Up: Juventus vs Manchester City (FIFA Club World Cup Group Stage)
Manchester City take on Juventus in their final group stage game of the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup, targeting top spot and potentially a more favourable last-16 tie. It was the most dominant performance of the tournament thus far from Pep Guardiola's side last time out, as they put six goals without reply beyond Al Ain courtesy of Ilkay Gundogan, Claudio Echeverri, Erling Haaland, Oscar Bobb, and Rayan Cherki. Advertisement Having beaten Wydad AC on matchday one, the final outing of the group stage presents the toughest test of the tournament so far, with City knowing that only a win would be enough to secure top spot in Group G and a last-16 meeting with the runners-up in Group H. Rico Lewis' ban following his straight red card against Wydad has been extended by a further two matches, making him unavailable against Juventus this week as well as the last-16 tie early next week. Claudio Echeverri is set to be ruled out after the Argentine talent was spotted on crutches and wearing a protective boot around his right foot on Tuesday following an ankle injury sustained in the first-half of the 6-0 win over Al Ain. It also remains to be seen just how much game time could be given to the likes of Ruben Dias, Rodri, and John Stones, with both central defenders yet to feature too much at the tournament due to a mixture of rest and fitness at the forefront of Guardiola's thinking. Advertisement Ahead of Manchester City's upcoming FIFA Club World Cup group stage clash against Juventus, here is how we predict Pep Guardiola will line-up his side at the Camping World Stadium on Thursday night! Predicted XI Having rotated the goalkeepers for the last outing at the tournament, we expect the usual pecking order to return against Juventus this week with Ederson starting between the posts for Manchester City. With Rico Lewis suspended and Matheus Nunes having put in a relatively strong performance from a right wing-back role, the Portugal international is likely to maintain that position once more this week. Advertisement Having seen a three-at-the-back system against Al Ain, anything is possible right now as Pep Guardiola tests out different formations, but we believe a trio of central defenders will be maintained this week with Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol all starting. And continuing on that same theme, off the back of a hugely impressive performance against the UAE-based club in his Manchester City debut, Rayan Ait-Nouri could start once again for City at the Camping World Stadium. Things become increasingly difficult to predict the higher up the pitch you go, but having sat out of the 6-0 win over Al Ain after an impressive debut on matchday one against Wydad AC, we think Tijjani Reijnders could be handed his second start for Manchester City. Operating alongside one another, or perhaps alternating between the deep-lying six role and a number eight position, we anticipate that Nico could be issued with another opportunity to impressive any doubters. Advertisement The same uncertainty looms over the forward ranks, but with wing-backs in our prediction, we think a very fluid but more narrow attacking pairing of Rayan Cherki and Omar Marmoush could be deployed against Juventus. For us, that leaves Erling Haaland with the lone striker role after he got his goalscoring underway at the tournament last time out with a singular strike from the penalty spot in Atlanta, Georgia. Starting XI: Ederson; Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri; Reijnders, Nico, Cherki, Marmoush; Haaland. Substitutes: Ortega Moreno, Bettinelli, Reis, Stones, Khusanov, Ake, O'Reilly, Rodri, Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, Bobb, Savinho, Doku.
