Angelino decides to stay at Roma
Angeliño has decided to stay at Roma and play his cards right with Gian Piero Gasperini, as reported by Il Tempo.
In June, the left-back was ready to leave to sign with the Saudi club, a deal that would have netted Roma €26 million and a monstrous salary for the player.
But the Arab club's failure to make a move has reopened the door to a stay in the capital.
'I've never expressed any desire to leave,' is the statement from those close to the player.
The former Manchester City and Leipzig player, born in 1997, has shown excellent form and is eager to build on the good work he did last season. In these first weeks of preparation, he's been among the brightest: pace, intensity, and a spirit of sacrifice are the weapons he's using to earn a leading role in the new Giallorossi era.

Liverpool set to more than DOUBLE their money
Liverpool have been as busy as anyone in this transfer window. They've made the headline signing, after all: Florian Wirtz. Shop the LFC Store LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now The Reds paid a club-record amount to sign the playmaker from Bayer Leverkusen. The deal could even reach British-record levels, should add-ons be met. We've seen Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike arrive, too. Those deals combined take Liverpool well over £200m spent this summer in what's by far the biggest window in the club's history. The mad thing is, the Reds are looking to make this the biggest in the other direction, too. They've already made some great sales and now another is on the way. And it'll double their money. Liverpool to sell Luis Diaz The Times are one of many saying a deal for Luis Diaz with Bayern Munich is now incredibly close. They write that £65.6m deal is on the cards, with only details being ironed out. Diaz is currently off with Liverpool on their pre-season tour, where they've just arrived in Japan. Despite that, the Colombian is now fully expected to leave the Reds permanently. Diaz didn't feature against AC Milan on Saturday and almost certainly won't wear the club's colours again. We've got to say, though - it's a fantastic amount for a player turning 29 and who wasn't going to sign a new contract.

Liverpool inch CLOSER to Alexander Isak deal as agreement struck
Liverpool are now closing in on an agreement for Alexander Isak after an agreement was found to sell a key player. The Swede striker is the dream target for Richard Hughes in the remainder of the summer transfer window. The club's sporting director is doing everything in his power to get the deal over the line. Diogo Jota: Thank you LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now It's not going to be an easy transfer. Isak wants the move. He's ready to leave Newcastle and he's made his intentions clear. Liverpool can also afford him and there's room for him to come into the team in terms of the club's wage bill. The only obstacle is the obdurate stance made by Newcastle. They are reluctant to let go of their prized asset. And they don't want to at this moment in time. Whether the changes, remains to be seen. Behind the scenes, Newcastle are certainly working on deals to prepare for life without Isak and that's why Yoane Wissa and Benjamin Sesko have both been approached. Whether they can get those deals over the line remains to be seen. But one domino has certainly fallen that's very much required to make this deal happen. Liverpool are in a good financial position. However, they are also well stocked in attack. With the arrival of Hugo Ekitike, there isn't really an immediate free spot for Isak in the squad. In order to make room for him, Liverpool have had to sell some of their current options. This is already in the works though, with Liverpool now just inches away from selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich. According to Florian Plettenberg an agreement has been struck between the Reds and Bayern Munich for the transfer of Diaz with the fee being €75 million. The Colombian is now expected to travel to Germany from Japan and undergo a medical. Should those things go in order, he will become a Bayern player and he will leave a void that the Reds have to fill in attack. At first glance considering he is a left-winger, you may think Liverpool would have to sign a left-winger rather than Isak. But the reality is that Diaz played a lot of the season as a no.9, given Slot preferred to play him over Darwin Nunez in the role. Not to mention Ekitike is someone who can also play on the wing, and therefore it's not the left-wing that needs bolstering the most but the centre-forward position. For that role, Isak is the best player in his position in the Premier League, if not the world. With Diaz's departure, his move to Liverpool has moved one step closer. If everything else goes according to plan, Newcastle bring in the replacements they need, Isak should be at Anfield come the end of the summer. The first domino has fallen.

Liverpool close in on SPECTACULAR €78m deal
Liverpool are now close to securing a massive deal. It isn't their first of the summer and it won't be the last. Liverpool have struck some of the biggest deals anywhere this summer. Florian Wirtz arrived for a club-record amount, of course, while Hugo Ekitike wasn't too far behind that. Shop the LFC Store LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Both full-back positions have record signings, too. Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong are now the most Liverpool have spent at left-back and right-back, respectively. It's been an unprecedented summer of deals for the Reds, who have moved massively to upgrade their title-winning team. What we haven't really seen yet, though, are moves in the other direction. Trent Alexander-Arnold left quickly to join Real Madrid, with Los Blancos paying a small fee for the last month of his contract. Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah have both moved on, too, though neither were first-team regulars last season. But those regulars do have to depart - Liverpool must make room for the arrivals, after all. Now it seems like that is in fact happening as the Reds close in on a major sale. Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich Sky Sports reports that Bayer Munich and Liverpool are now very close to sealing a deal for Luis Diaz. Bayern will pay around €79m for the Colombian. That's essentially what Liverpool wanted as an asking price this summer. €80m was the quoted figure and while Bayern have avoided putting up that much, they're awfully close. Liverpool were always going to be open to selling Diaz for the right price given he's in the final two years of his contract. It's taken some time to get there - both Bayern and Barcelona saw offers rejected - but it appears an agreement is here.
