Reports: USMNT midfielder Musah to join Napoli in €25m transfer
Reports: USMNT midfielder Musah to join Napoli in €25m transfer Show Caption Hide Caption Weston McKennie: Landon Donovan's dig at Christian Pulisic was sad U.S. Men's National Team standout Weston McKennie reacts to Landon Donovan's comments regarding Christian Pulisic. Sports Seriously Yunus Musah looks to be on the move, though the AC Milan midfielder won't be leaving Serie A. According to multiple reports, Musah is on the brink of joining Italian champion Napoli in a move worth around €25 million. Napoli coach Antonio Conte is said to be an admirer of the 22-year-old, who looks to be part of a revamped midfield that is also set to include former Man City star Kevin De Bruyne. Musah will help replace Philip Billing, who was on loan from Bournemouth this past season and will not be retained. Musah has spent two seasons with Milan after joining from Valencia in 2023. The midfielder earned plenty of minutes with the Rossoneri, but never completely found his footing during his time at the club. The U.S. international managed 40 appearances in all competitions last season, playing a variety of positions including right back, right winger and central midfield. Though he was at times a lock starter, Musah's minutes declined over the final weeks of the 2024-25 campaign. He was removed twice as a tactical sub in a four-game span in March and April. Musah is set to trade Serie A's eighth-place finisher for its champion, swapping a season with no European competition for Champions League play. It will be a welcome boost for his USMNT chances. Musah was set to be on the Gold Cup roster this summer, but requested to be removed due to a personal issue. Musah has 46 caps with the USMNT, including starts in all four of the team's games at the 2022 World Cup.

Liverpool in talks with SENSATIONAL striker who wants Premier League move
Liverpool in talks with SENSATIONAL striker who wants Premier League move Victor Osimhen available this summer The 26-year-old scored 37 goals in 41 games overall - sparking an almighty transfer clamour for his signature this summer. Napoli still own Osimhen's rights but there is no way back for him at the Diego Maradona Stadium. Therefore, the Italian champions are seeking to cash in this summer. Advertisement Osimhen is said to have rejected a move to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career - and has his eyes firmly trained on the Premier League. And now, according to a report in TBR Football, the hitman has held talks with Liverpool over a move to Anfield. © IMAGO Liverpool hold Osimhen talks 'After recently holding discussions with Liverpool, Victor Osimhen is still determined to move to the Premier League this summer,' a report reads. 'Liverpool are interested in Osimhen, a striker who is also on Manchester United's radar.' The report also adds that Osimhen doesn't view his wage demands as excessive, despite previous speculation that his expected pay packet was pricing clubs out of the equation. With Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike's prices spiralling out of control, moreover, the report states that Osimhen is available for a very reasonable-looking £50m.
