Atalanta are reportedly holding out for a price tag of €50m, which means that an offer of €45m plus €5m in bonuses could be enough to strike an agreement.
Marotta has already suggested that the matter will be closed 'in two to three days' either way.

Liverpool have signed NEW centre-back and he's special
There's a 'new' centre-back at Liverpool and he looks special. Right now everyone is desperate for the Reds to add at least another defender to their ranks. Pre-season has exposed the only weakness and achilles heel of this squad. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! For most of the summer, Arne Slot has had to field makeshift centre-back, most notably Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas. With Jarell Quansah having departed, and Joe Gomez injured, Liverpool have had to compete with just two senior centre-backs in their ranks. This is something that is simply not sustainable. Liverpool need more options and depth in order to be able to challenge for the Premier League and the Champions League. The hope is that Richard Hughes will accelerate a move for one of the club's targets. Whether that is Marc Guehi or Giovanni Leoni remains to be seen. In the meantime though, pre-season has unleashed a 'new' centre-back at the club as well, who looked special in the role when being asked to play there. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range We're talking about Trey Nyoni here. Liverpool signed him as a holding midfielder back in 2023, but he had played as a centre-back before in his academy days. At Liverpool, even at academy level, we haven't seen him play there. He's been deployed as a midfielder, which is clearly his preferred position. However, it was interesting to see him being fielded as a centre-back against Athletic Bilbao on Monday night. Initially, there was a bit of trepidation whether he would be able to cope with the demands of the role, however, Nyoni quashed any doubts aside from the first minute. He put in a commanding centre-back performance, making the most clearances in the match (4) and winning a couple of aerial duels as well. Despite his slender frame he dealt with the physical challenges of the role really well, and he read situations astutely, making four interceptions and a brilliant intervention when Bilbao were clean through on goal and had only him and Freddie Woodman to beat, making it a two on two but really a two on one defensive situation for Nyoni. The way he dealt with the challenge gives food for thought for Slot. In this Liverpool team right now there already are a plethora of midfielders, making the pathway into the first team a difficult one for Nyoni. But what if he can now also not only provide an option in midfield but in defence as well? What if he can become Liverpool's 'new' centre-back? Based on the evidence of this one game, it certainly seems like an option and if that's the case the pathway for him to get more minutes in the first team opens up straightaway. Obviously, Liverpool would need another centre-back option, someone like Guehi. However, Nyoni has definitely proven he can provide depth there, and in turn become one of the 'new' centre-backs Liverpool are desperately lacking.

Liverpool Are Eyeing A Move For This Paris Saint-Germain Winger: What Will He Bring To Merseyside?
In a recent report, L'Equipe claimed that Liverpool are eyeing a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola this summer. It has been mentioned that the Reds are showing interest in recruiting the French attacker this off-season. Barcola's Excellent Record In French Football Barcola had a productive campaign at the French club after he produced a run of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 22-year-old banged in 21 goals and picked up 21 assists in 64 matches for PSG last season in all competitions. The Lyon-born talent gave a good account of himself in the opponent's half as he averaged 3.05 shots per 90 minutes in Ligue 1. He kept 51.4% of his attempts on target. Barcola was even accurate when distributing possession, based on his pass success rate of 81.7% in top-flight football (stats via His current contract at the French club will run out in the summer of 2028. Therefore, Liverpool would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting the French attacker this off-season. EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY – JULY 09: Bradley Barcola #29 of Paris Saint-Germain looks on during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 semi-final match between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid CF at MetLife Stadium on July 09, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by) What Will Barcola Bring To Liverpool? Barcola is a great dribbler with the ball and can make a few driving runs with it out on the flanks. He has got the eye to play some killer passes on the offensive end of the field and can strike the ball with venom from long range. The French talent is primarily a left-winger but can also operate as a right-sided wide player or as a centre-forward if needed. However, there are some concerns over whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if the Reds manage to sign him in this transfer window. Barcola would bring plenty of goals and assists to Liverpool boss Arne Slot's defence. He is good enough to nail down a regular starting place at Anfield as long as he can make a smooth transition to life in England. At 22, Barcola has the potential to be a generational talent at the Merseyside club. Furthermore, he would serve as an ideal replacement for Luis Diaz, who joined Bayern Munich earlier this summer. Thus, Slot should focus on getting a deal over the line for Barcola before the end of this transfer period.

US crude exports hit four-year low in July on low domestic supplies
By Arathy Somasekhar HOUSTON (Reuters) -U.S. crude oil exports eased in July to the lowest levels in nearly four years on low domestic supplies and as Asian and European buyers found cheaper alternatives, undermining U.S. President Donald Trump's push for more foreign countries to purchase U.S. energy supplies. The decline in exports from the top global producer underscores the extent to which oil flows are dictated by price and the economics of shipping, even as the Trump administration recently has pushed countries to commit to more U.S. oil purchases as part of trade negotiations. U.S. crude exports tumbled to about 3.1 million barrels per day (bpd) in July, the lowest since October 2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged demand, according to data from ship tracking firm Kpler. Exports averaged 3.2 million bpd over the last five weeks, compared with 3.6 million bpd in June, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The decline came as the spread between European and U.S. benchmark crude futures narrowed, making it less economically attractive to ship barrels across the Atlantic. "Markets are driven by economics, and companies are driven by profits, and so companies are going to continue to purchase what is the cheapest or the best feedstock for them," said Matt Smith, lead oil analyst at Kpler. "There's a very, very incremental impact (from trade agreements on U.S. crude exports), but it's not going to move the needle," Smith added. WTI's discount to Brent in May and June, when oil delivered in July is traded, averaged about $3 a barrel, well above the $4 discount that typically encourages foreign countries to buy U.S. oil. "There's just not the incentive there to be pushing those barrels out. They're more needed at home than they are abroad," said Smith. Exports of U.S. crude to Asia fell to 862,000 bpd in July, the lowest since January 2019, and well below the three-month average of 1.1 million bpd, Kpler data showed. China, the world's top oil consumer, took no barrels for the fifth straight month as trade tensions continued between the two countries, while shipments to South Korea, the second largest buyer of U.S. crude in 2024, nearly halved in July, and those to India fell 46%. Meanwhile, exports to Europe fell 14% to 1.6 million bpd from June. Inventories of oil at the key storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, hovered just above operational levels, amid lower Canadian oil flows due to a wildfire and last year's Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. That kept more domestic barrels in the U.S., traders and analysts said. Prices for WTI Midland at Cushing were about 40 cents higher than prices for it along the Gulf coast, said Jeremy Irwin, global crude lead at Energy Aspects. Higher U.S. refining activity also encouraged some barrels to stay locally, Irwin said. Exports of Canadian crude from the U.S. Gulf Coast also eased 31% to 78,000 bpd in July, as U.S. refiners snapped up the barrels to replace lower Venezuelan and Mexican imports. SHORT-LIVED REBOUND SEEN Exports to Asia of U.S. crude are expected to step up in the fourth quarter as Middle East oil prices strengthened, making it more economic to ship oil to Asia from the U.S., trade sources said last week. Energy Aspects forecast about a 400,000-bpd increase to August from July in U.S. Gulf Coast exports. While Washington's push for countries to commit to energy purchases as part of trade deals may help inch exports higher in the short term, traders and analysts remained skeptical of any longer-term boost to exports from the agreements. South Korea said it would purchase $100 billion worth of liquefied natural gas or other energy products, while the European Union pledged to buy $250 billion of U.S. energy supplies per year. Pakistan is set to import its first-ever cargo of U.S. crude in October, while India's biggest refiner Indian Oil Corp bought 4.5 million barrels of U.S. crude this week as Trump threatens tariff hikes on the country for its purchases of Russian oil. Purchases from trade deals would likely only push up U.S. exports for two or three months, said Jeremy Irwin, global crude lead at Energy Aspects. Further, rising OPEC+ supplies especially into the end of the year are set to increase options for European and Asian refiners, and could weigh on export demand for light sweet U.S. crude. The group agreed on Sunday to raise oil production by 547,000 bpd for September, marking a full and early reversal of its largest tranche of output cuts. Sign in to access your portfolio
