Atalanta will meet for Muniz and Mateta in striker search
Atalanta are reportedly intensifying their pursuit of Fulham centre-forward Rodrigo Muniz, with a meeting also planned for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. According to Sky Sport Italia, 24-year-old Muniz is increasingly seen as the hot favourite to reinforce the attack in Bergamo following Mateo Retegui's record breaking transfer to Al-Qadsiyah. The Brazilian found the net 11 times with two assists in the Premier League last season and his contract only runs to June 2026, although the club does have an option to extend by another year. Formerly of Flamengo, Muniz made the €8m transfer to Fulham in 2021. Muniz and Mateta on Atalanta radar CRAWLEY, ENGLAND – JULY 25: Jean-Phillipe Mateta of Crystal Palace looks on during the pre-season friendly match between Crawley Town and Crystal Palace at Broadfield Stadium on July 25, 2025 in Crawley, England. (Photo by) Sky Sport Italia also warn that Atalanta directors might use the trip to England to have other meetings too, specifically with Crystal Palace. This is because Mateta is seen as another alternative for the attack, even after the reported €34.7m proposal was rejected. He recently turned 28 and had an impressive 14 goals with two assists in 37 Premier League appearances last term.

LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! The Reds' struggle with Darwin Nunez is set to end with the Uruguayan likely to move on, and his replacement has already arrived in Hugo Ekitike, although the Frenchman's move is potential-based. 🔴 But the incredibly sad loss of Diogo Jota earlier this summer has meant a second striker is required and another forward has now to signed to potentially play a role this season, although reports are suggesting that Alexander Isak is still on the club's radar, so he might also end up joining the Reds. Striker move confirmed by club Until that happens, the focus should be on the signing of Will Wright from Salford City. It has been rumoured for a few days that the 17-year-old was now a Red, but it has taken until now for the club to officially confirm his move. Let it be known that his transfer is an enormous scalp. The player scored 40 goals at the academy level for the Manchester-based club and when you consider his age, you have to just sit back and appreciate how remarkable a goal return that is. Prior to his move, he was being slowly introduced to Salford's first-team, making his FA Cup debut and then appearing twice in League Two. The Englishman's potential is clearly sky-high right now.

Real Madrid Facing Stiff Competition From Barcelona For Chelsea Forward: Good Fit For Alonso?
In a recent report, E-noticies mentioned that Real Madrid are facing stiff competition for Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson. It is believed that Los Blancos would have to rival Barcelona in the race to land the Senegalese attacker this summer. Jackson's Impressive Run Of Form In English Football Jackson enjoyed a decent run of form at the West London club as he managed to put in a string of impressive performances for them in the final third. The 24-year-old scored 13 times and earned six assists in 37 matches for Chelsea last season in various competitions. The Senegalese talent led the line well after he averaged 3.08 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 44.7% of his attempts on target. Jackson was tidy when distributing possession in the opponent's half, based on his pass completion rate of 75.9% in the English top flight (stats via His current contract at Stamford Bridge will run out in the summer of 2033. Thus, Real Madrid have got no choice but to meet Chelsea's demands if they are to stand a chance of recruiting Jackson this off-season. WROCLAW, POLAND – MAY 28: Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea is challenged by Natan of Real Betis during the UEFA Conference League Final 2025 between Real Betis Balompie and Chelsea FC at Stadion Wroclaw on May 28, 2025 in Wroclaw, Poland. (Photo by) Is Jackson A Good Fit For Real Madrid Boss Xabi Alonso? Jackson excels at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He can create the odd opportunity for his teammates to score and is usually quite clever with his movements in and around the opponent's penalty area. Standing at 1.87m, the Senegalese talent can be a real handful for any defender. Therefore, it makes sense for Los Blancos to take a chance on Jackson as he would help them compete across all fronts in the coming years. Jackson mainly operates as a centre-forward but can also fill in as a wide player on either flank if told to do so by his manager. He already knows La Liga well from his time at Villarreal and won't take much time to adjust to life at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. At 24, Jackson has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent fit for Real Madrid's needs this summer. He might even help Los Blancos compete for some major honours over the next few years.
