Ziyech busy since entering free agency: Moroccan offers himself to three Serie A clubs
According to transfer journalist Nicolò Schira (via VoetbalPrimeur), Hakim Ziyech has offered himself to three Serie A clubs.
While it is not known which Italian clubs are involved, it is clear that the left-footer is not sitting still following his departure from Qatari club Al Duhail. About a week and a half ago, Al Duhail announced that Ziyech had left the club after just six months.

In that time, the Dutch-born Moroccan international only played 13 official matches for the club, scoring one goal and providing one assist. The creative midfielder is now working hard to find a new employer quickly. 'Ziyech has offered himself to three clubs from the Serie A', writes Schira, who does not mention which clubs.
The 32-year-old Ziyech's transfer value is currently estimated at around 4.5 million euros.

Cody Gakpo responds to Bayern Munich transfer interest and Liverpool exit claims - 'Maybe my agent'
Cody Gakpo has distanced himself from speculation about his Liverpool future. The Netherlands international is reportedly of interest to Bayern Munich after helping the Reds win the Premier League title. Advertisement The 26-year-old thrived at Anfield following the appointment of Dutch compatriot Arne Slot as Jurgen Klopp's successor. Restored to his favoured left-wing position, the forward went on to enjoy the best season of his Liverpool career to date. Making 49 appearances in all competitions, Gakpo returned 18 goals and six assists. And such form has not gone unnoticed, with reported interest from Bayern emerging after it became clear that Florian Wirtz had snubbed the Bavarians in favour of a switch to Anfield.

The forward was asked about such transfer speculation ahead of facing Finland when put up for press conference duties. And while he did not take the opportunity to commit his future to Liverpool, he insisted he has not heard of any interest from Bayern Munich. "I haven't heard anything about it myself,' he said. 'I'm closing myself off from it. 'Maybe my agent has heard something, but I'm focusing on myself." Meanwhile, Gakpo praised Jeremie Frimpong after Liverpool completed the £29.5m signing of his Netherlands team-mate earlier this month. Advertisement "For us, Jeremie is a very good addition," he said. "With his speed and quality. 'But also because of his position, because Trent [Alexander-Arnold] is no longer with us." Gakpo is not the only Liverpool forward whose future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks. Darwin Nunez is expected to move on while the Reds have rejected an approach from Barcelona for Luis Diaz, with the Colombian admitting he is talking to clubs earlier this week. Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa has confirmed he is both open to staying put at Liverpool or returning to Italy after a year on the fringes at Anfield, while Diogo Jota also faces an uncertain future.

‘Italy underestimated PSG' – Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi slams Italian ‘snobbery' over Ligue 1
Olympique de Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi has taken a swipe at the Italian football establishment in the aftermath of Paris Saint-Germain's stunning 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final on May 31st. Speaking on Italian podcast Supernova, De Zerbi accused his native country of underestimating the French champions and failing to appreciate the rise in quality across Ligue 1. The Italian tactician, who initially claimed he wouldn't be watching the final at a press conference attended by Get French Football News – 'I was going to spend the evening on Netflix' – later offered a blunt analysis of the one-sided result. Advertisement 'Italy didn't know PSG. Italy underestimated them. Italian football was arrogant – not Inter, but the country's attitude,' he stated. 'They didn't know they'd be kicking off from touch, didn't know Dembélé was in that form, didn't know Doué has talent on Yamal's level, or that Vitinha might be the best midfielder in the world right now. They didn't know João Neves was Portuguese-trained or where Pacho comes from.' 'Inter are a great team. Inzaghi is a top coach. There shouldn't be five goals of difference.' However, the former Brighton and Shakhtar boss pivoted to a broader defence of Ligue 1's European stature, noting how France's top teams have proven their worth this season on the continental stage. 'PSG dominated Liverpool and many others. We [Marseille] finished second behind them. In Italy, they didn't write a word – they snubbed our league, thinking it's average. That's not true.'

Filippo Inzaghi leaves Pisa after Serie A promotion
Filippo Inzaghi has left his role as Pisa head coach after leading the club to their first Serie A promotion in 34 years. Inzaghi had his contract mutually terminated after just one season in charge. Following successive mid-table finishes in Serie B, he led the club back to the top flight with a second-place finish in 2024-25 , 10 points clear of third-place Spezia. Advertisement Pisa's promotion was the second time Inzaghi has led a side back to the Serie A after his Benevento side went up as champions of Serie B in 2019-20. Inzaghi's departure comes amid widespread change in the coaching departments of Italian clubs. His young brother, Simone, left Inter to join Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal earlier this month after failing to secure a trophy during 2024-25. Cristian Chivu was appointed as Inter's new head coach after the club lost the Champions League final by a record 5-0 margin to Paris Saint-Germain. Gian Piero Gasperini, who led Atalanta to their 2024 Europa League win, replaced Claudio Ranieri as Roma's head coach, while Massimiliano Allegri succeeded Sergio Conceicao in the Milan dugout after failing to secure European football. Fiorentina head coach Raffaele Palladino had his contract terminated following a sixth-placed finish in Serie A, while Maurizio Sarri has returned to Lazio. Inzaghi's coaching career began at Milan, where he scored 126 goals in 300 matches during his playing career. He took charge for the 2014-15 season and recorded a 10th-placed finish. The 51-year-old had subsequent spells with Venezia, Bologna, Benevento, Brescia, Reggina, Salernitana and most recently Pisa, but has never spent more than two seasons with the same club in that time. The former Italy international is his nation's joint-sixth highest goalscorer of all time, with 25 goals in 57 international appearances during his playing career.
