Roma could consider Premier League offers for Ndicka
Roma are forced to move on the outgoing market before being able to invest, and the name of Evan Ndicka is back in the news.
As reported by Il Messaggero, the Ivorian defender could guarantee a capital gain of close to 40 million euros, essential to settle the accounts in compliance with Financial Fair Play.

Several Premier League clubs have their eyes on him, including Newcastle and Manchester United, even if the initial intention of the Giallorossi is to keep the prized pieces and sacrifice only secondary elements such as Shomurodov or Paredes.
Faced with a concrete offer and budgetary needs, however, the management, now led by Frederic Massara, could also evaluate the possibility of a painful but necessary farewell.

Brioni Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
'Renaulution' is the transformation strategy through which the newly-named CEO of Kering Group, Milan-born Luca de Meo, has over the last few years uplifted the fortunes of France's greatest automotive group. Now, transplanted to luxury, his new role will require him to 'Guccelerate' performance in order to generate a 'Kerinaissance.' It will also demand that he dress the part—and that demand can only be appropriately answered by wearing Kering-crafted tailoring. But from where? Only three brands in the Kering Group have true masculine tailoring heritage. And with all due respect to the sharply-shouldered, flare-panted flaneur silhouette of Saint Laurent, or the agonizingly complicated elegance of Alexander McQueen, by far the most compelling candidate for the new boss's uniform is Brioni. This morning's presentation at the Palazzo Stampa Soncino showcased the commandingly multifaceted nature of Brioni's menswear authority. As we entered, white-jacketed artisans from the label's 66-year old tailoring production line in Penne, Abruzzo, showcased tasks including hand-fashioning buttonholes, hand-stitching a tuxedo's shoulder, hand-building a felted undercollar, and hand-scalpelling an already sliver-thin section of silk-cashmere. The gentleman working (extremely rapidly) on the tuxedo had attended Brioni's tailoring school when still in his teens and worked there ever since, a total of 18 years. The next room revealed the latest fruits of Brioni's industry-revolutionizing vertical integration. Creative director Norbert Stumpfl has spent the last seven years adapting the expansive sophistication of the house's historical style to the demands of today's high rollers: this season his offerings combined stealth and impact. Tailored jackets in unlined nubuck leather rested above tailored pants in crisp, dense cotton with discreetly integrated elastic panels and drawstrings. Suiting in two-toned solaro-weave cashmere silk, double breasted and peak lapeled with mother of pearl buttons, were matched to same-color shirting for a straightforward full-look option that decision-wary clients appreciate, said Stumpfl: 'he just puts it on and looks stunning.' A long-skirted suit in dark navy was delivered in a new Super 220 four-ply wool developed exclusively for Brioni by Dormeuil. Its extreme lightness and softness made it feel barely tangible. It also looked like outstanding new CEO attire. Communicating the effect of such intangibly-refined material specialness, conceded Stumpfl, is challenging. 'In the end you have to feel it, and ideally you have to wear it. Only then can you fully understand,' he said. More casual looks included silk linen shirt jackets worn with solaro baseball caps, leather lanyards, and scrunchable suede loafers. An outrageously handsome workwear jacket was cut in unlined brown suede and placed over a work-shirt in undyed Japanese denim. There were crocodile blousons and a spectacular matching shirt and Soffio 'breeze' jacket in a white seersucker whose textured landscape of cotton/silk puckerings were gently stained with a structured patina of ceramic blue. Moving on to eveningwear, we saw a suit cut in a pink silk that had been enzyme treated to transform the material's usual shiny finish in order to create a deeper, matte texture to the eye. An inky black jacket was made by individually stitching thousands of strips of ribbon, each only a millimeter apart, into a barely discernible fabric cascade: running your finger down it was akin to gently riffling the pages of a richly-printed book. The final look in the line-up was a piece for Brioni super fans: a golden jacket embroidered with 24 karat gold beadings in the same shape as the house's Penne factory seen from above. This was another strong contender for the incoming boss's wardrobe once 'Re-Balenciaga' has been achieved. Brioni, if handled right, can be at the heart of that process.

Liverpool Risk Losing Key Star Unless Contract Talks Progress Soon
Konate Contract Talks Stall as European Giants Circle Liverpool's determination to build a competitive squad under Arne Slot this summer could be overshadowed by uncertainty surrounding one of their most important players. According to Caught Offside, Ibrahima Konate's contract negotiations have hit a significant stumbling block, and with clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, and Al-Hilal circling, the clock is ticking. Advertisement 'Konate is reportedly demanding a weekly salary of around £200,000. However, Liverpool's management appears reluctant to meet those terms. If a new deal cannot be agreed by the end of the summer, the Merseyside club is prepared to offload the player for a fee in the region of €50–60 million,' the report states. Konate's current deal runs until 2026, but Liverpool have seen what can happen when renewal talks drift. The departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Madrid for free is still fresh and has made the Anfield hierarchy cautious. Concerns Over Another High-Profile Departure While Liverpool have made significant progress in refreshing the squad this summer, losing Konate would raise questions about defensive continuity, especially following the exits of key figures in previous windows. Advertisement The club reportedly views this transfer window as the cut-off point. They either extend his deal or accept an offer that reflects his value. Photo: IMAGO Sources close to the situation told Caught Offside that Liverpool are 'concerned' about a repeat of the scenario that saw Trent Alexander-Arnold depart for Real Madrid on a free transfer. That concern is justified. At 26, Konate is entering his peak years. He's physically dominant, comfortable on the ball, and one of the few defenders in the league capable of matching elite forwards stride for stride. Value vs. Risk in Liverpool's Summer Planning Konate has become central to Liverpool's backline since his arrival, forging a strong, if at times injury-interrupted, partnership with Virgil van Dijk. Slot will want to build around that stability, not risk it. Advertisement While the club has done well in early summer dealings, selling Konate would immediately shift priorities back to the heart of defence, a position where elite replacements are both scarce and expensive. Allowing him to enter the final two years of his contract without resolution would be a dangerous gamble. There's no shortage of interest, and once a player of Konate's calibre hits the market, clubs like PSG and Bayern are unlikely to wait for a discount. Room for Compromise Still Exists Liverpool's reluctance to meet £200,000 per week reflects their commitment to financial structure, a model that has served them well under FSG. But if they're to compete for the Premier League title again, keeping players like Konate becomes about more than wage policy. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement He remains 'one of the first names on the team sheet,' Caught Offside notes, and it's hard to imagine a version of Liverpool's title tilt without him. Still, compromise is essential. Whether it's through staggered incentives, loyalty bonuses, or a shorter-term extension, the club must find a way to avoid weakening the spine of the squad right before a crucial campaign. Our View – EPL Index Analysis For Liverpool fans, this feels like a familiar and frustrating scenario. A key player, loved by the fans, important to the team, yet somehow edging toward the exit due to financial deadlock. Konate isn't just a strong centre-back, he represents Liverpool's post-Klopp future. Young enough to grow under Slot, experienced enough to lead, and passionate enough to understand the demands of Anfield. Letting him go, even for €60 million, would send the wrong message at the wrong time. Advertisement The £200k wage figure is high, yes. But in the context of today's market, where defenders of similar quality are commanding huge fees and salaries, it's not outrageous. Van Dijk won't be around forever. Neither will Alisson. Keeping the next generation intact should be priority number one. If Konate walks because of a marginal wage dispute, fans will rightly question the club's long-term vision. It's not just about keeping good players, it's about showing that Liverpool remain a destination, not a stepping stone.
