Napoli keen on summer move for Darwin Nunez
Napoli are eyeing a summer move for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

Nunez is another major target for the Serie A club. The Uruguayan striker is reportedly open to the move and would consider moving to Naples.
Nunez open to Napoli switch
Nunez joined Liverpool from Portuguese club Benfica in 2022, but has failed to live up to expectations.
Despite showing flashes of his quality, Nunez has been unable to consistently establish himself as the club's first-choice striker.
He has missed numerous chances and been criticised for his lack of consistency in front of goal.
Nunez is attracting interest from some Saudi Pro League clubs, but the chance to move to Serie A could be tempting.

His physical strength, pace, and aggressive playing style make him a formidable player for defenders to contend with.
Nunez thrives when running behind the defence or attacking low crosses into the box. His hold-up play and work rate help link up with midfielders and create space for others.
Napoli manager Antonio Conte believes the forward's energy and direct style could suit his team's fast attacking approach.
The Serie A club are expected to make a decision soon as they continue to shape their squad for the upcoming season.

Netflix will air traditional TV channels inside its app in France
Starting in summer 2026, Netflix subscribers in France will be able to watch commercially broadcast TV content 'without ever having to leave the service.' The streaming giant has announced a distribution deal with French media company TF1 Group to make TF1's free-to-air live TV channels and on-demand TF1 Plus streaming content available to French Netflix users as part of their existing subscription plan. 'This is a first-of-its-kind partnership that plays to our strengths of giving audiences the best entertainment alongside the best discovery experience,' Netflix CEO Greg Peters said in a statement. 'By teaming up with France's leading broadcaster we will provide French consumers with even more reasons to come to Netflix every day and to stay with us for all their entertainment.' The carriage deal will enable French Netflix subscribers to watch major live sports matches, scripted dramas like Broceliande and Erica, soap operas such as Demain nous appartient, and unscripted shows like The Voice. Financial details were not disclosed, but for Netflix, this deal may also contribute towards a legal requirement to invest a portion of its French revenue into French-language content. Netflix started experimenting with a linear-style TV feature in France in 2020 called 'Direct' that broadcast a programmed schedule of shows, but the TF1 partnership is the first deal to host channels from a third-party network. The partnership could be compared to Netflix being granted the output for CBS in the US, or ITV in the UK. It's significant because the TF1 network holds around 24 percent of the French linear TV market — higher than the domestic US market share for NBC, CBS, ABC, or Fox. As more consumers switch from traditional TV to streaming on-demand content, the Netflix TF1 partnership could pave the way for similar deals to help struggling networks bolster their audiences by piggybacking off the very streaming services that viewers are jumping to. In the announcement, TF1 Group CEO Rodolphe Belmer said, 'as viewing habits shift toward on-demand consumption and audience fragmentation increases, this unprecedented alliance will enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers within an ecosystem that perfectly complements our TF1 Plus platform.'

Report – Inter Milan Must Offload Iran Superstar Before Pursuing Signature Of Manchester United Outcast
Report – Inter Milan Must Offload Iran Superstar Before Pursuing Signature Of Manchester United Outcast Inter Milan cannot sign Manchester United flop Rasmus Hojlund before addressing the future of unsettled star Mehdi Taremi. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri can only pursue the Dane's signature after offloading the Iranian. Advertisement Though Inter are on the verge of signing Parma starlet Ange-Yoan Bonny, they're keen to add another striker. Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a suitable profile despite his torrid time at Old Trafford, but there's a wrinkle. Indeed, they must sell before they can buy. Mehdi Taremi Must Make Room for Ramsus Hojlund at Inter Milan MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 22: Mehdi Taremi of FC Internazionale reacts during during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Genoa CFC at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 22, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Taremi joined Inter as one of Europe's most lethal goalscorers. However, he has struggled in Italy, netting only one goal in Serie A last season. As a result, his future at the San Siro is up in the air as Inter aim to revamp their attacking options. Furthermore, Joaquin Correa already joined Botafogo RJ, while Marko Arnautovic will soon finish his second spell at the club. Therefore, the Nerazzurri want to sign two strikers. Hojlund could prove a valuable signing, but with Man Utd seeking €45 million, the deal looks far-fetched.
