Napoli Targeting €45M Rated Inter Milan Star To Strengthen For Serie A Title Defense & Champions League
Napoli are targeting Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi to strengthen for their Serie A title defense and the Champions League. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement There is no doubt that this is a decisive juncture for Davide Frattesi at Inter Milan. Reportedly, the 25-year-old had a blowup with Simone Inzaghi during the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. He was furious that the Inter coach didn't use him as a substitute. And this has brought to a head Frattesi's persistent frustrations about his playing time at Inter. The Italian international may not have left the Nerazzurri in January. However, he could certainly be on his way this summer.

(Photo by) If Frattesi is to leave Inter this summer, he would not be short of suitors. Advertisement And according to the Corriere, Napoli may be the club ready to push the hardest to sign Frattesi. The Partenopei are fresh off the back of their second Serie A title win in three seasons. And after having had no European football last season, a key factor in their consistent form in the league, they'll have to bolster their squad depth now that they have Champions League football. According to the Corriere, Davide Frattesi would be one of Napoli's priority targets to bolster their midfield. However, the newspaper notes, Inter still won't let Frattesi go for cheap. Even in spite of his desire to leave. The Corriere anticipate that Inter want a fee of around €45 million for Frattesi.

Controversial Diet Guru, who claims to help people live 120 years, sent to jail for practising medicine without licence
A court in Rome has sentenced Adriano Panzironi to 2 years and 8 months in jail. The 'Diet Guru' was penalised for practising medicine without a licence. His brother Roberto was also given 1 year and 4 months for helping him. Panzironi is also a journalist, now suspended from the profession. Adriano gave medical advice on TV and through Facebook, prosecutors said. He told people what to eat and which supplements to take. He even sold those supplements online. These supplements were said to be possibly harmful if taken without a doctor's advice. He also promoted his book, Vivere 120 Anni (Living 120 Years), as part of his programme. Many medical groups from cities like Rome, Venice, Naples and Milan took part in the case as civil parties. Even the journalists' organisation in Lazio said it was harmed by his actions. The court accepted all the complaints and punished both brothers for giving unsafe and unapproved health advice to the public without being licensed doctors. Panzironi claims people can live up to 120 years by avoiding carbohydrate-rich foods like bread, pasta, sweets and cereals. Despite being reported for medical fraud, he remains extremely popular. His followers used to come from all over Italy, hoping to hear his advice and even take selfies. Some say they are ready to cut out carbs but not wine. Many supporters, including elderly people, say they want to live longer to enjoy time with their family. A man from Urbino told Corriere how he had lost weight after following Panzironi's diet plan. While critics call his ideas unsafe, his fans believe avoiding insulin-spiking foods can bring long life and better health. Panzironi's book Vivere 120 Anni has already sold over 4 lakh copies since 2014. The 'Diet Guru' suggests eating special 'Life 120' pasta made from konjac flour, containing less than 1% carbs. This fibre, called glucomannan, is part of a low-carb lifestyle promoted by Panzironi. While some consider Panzironi as a health guru, others consider him a clever businessman. Supporters say his advice changed their lives. some of them now eat 14 eggs a week or raise hens. Panzironi's company earns €20 million ( ₹ 190 crore) a year. Half of the amount is spent on running a TV channel, Life120.

Pope Francis's final moments revealed: How doctor knew he was gone, and his last regret
The head of Pope Francis 's medical team has revealed new details about the pontiff's final moments. The 88-year-old died quickly on the morning of Easter Monday, Dr Sergio Alfieri, who oversaw the Pope's treatment for pneumonia earlier this year at Rome's Gemelli hospital, said in interviews published on Thursday. Francis died without undue suffering and medical intervention could not have saved him, Dr Alfieri said. He recounted receiving an urgent call around 5.30am on Monday, summoning him to the Vatican. Arriving about 20 minutes later, he found the Pope conscious but unresponsive. "I entered his rooms and he (Francis) had his eyes open," Dr. Alfieri told Corriere della Sera. "I ascertained that there were no respiratory problems. And then I tried to call his name, but he did not respond to me." Dr Alfieri said he recognised the gravity of the situation. "In that moment I knew there was nothing more to do. He was in a coma." In another interview with La Repubblica, Dr. Alfieri mentioned that some officials present suggested immediately transporting the Pope back to Gemelli hospital. However, given the circumstances, it was determined that further medical intervention would have been futile. "He would have died on the way," said the doctor. "Doing a CT scan we would have had a more exact diagnosis, but nothing more. It was one of those strokes that, in an hour, carries you away." Francis had nearly died while fighting pneumonia, but his death came as a shock. Just the previous day he appeared in St. Peter's Square in an open-air popemobile to greet cheering crowds on Easter Sunday, suggesting his convalescence was going well. Pope kept working After Francis returned to the Vatican on March 23 after a 38-day hospital stay, Alfieri and the pope's other doctors had prescribed him a two-month period of rest to allow his ageing body to heal. Francis, known to push himself hard, kept working. He met briefly with US Vice President JD Vance on Easter Sunday, and had visited a prison in Rome on April 17, Holy Thursday, to offer well wishes to the inmates. Dr Alfieri said the pope listened to his doctors' advice and didn't push himself too hard. "He (was) the pope," the doctor told Corriere. "Going back to work was part of his treatment and he was never exposed to danger." The doctor said he last saw Francis on Saturday afternoon. "He was very well," said Dr Alfieri, who said he gifted the pope some pie, in a flavour he knew the pontiff liked. He recounted the pope saying, "I am very well, I have started working again, and I like it." "We knew that he wanted to go home to be pope up until the last moment," said the doctor. "He didn't let us down." In the Repubblica interview, Dr Alfieri said Francis had shared one final regret with him. While he was happy to have visited the prisoners on April 17, he wished he had been able to perform a foot-washing ritual for the Church's celebration of Holy Thursday. "He regretted he could not wash the feet of the prisoners," said the doctor. "'This time I couldn't do it' was the last thing he said to me."

Pope Francis' doctor says pontiff died ‘without suffering, at home'
ROME — Pope Francis' doctor has recounted the pontiff's final moments in a pair of newspaper interviews, saying the pontiff had his eyes open and was breathing with oxygen, but unresponsive after being stricken by illness early Monday morning. 'He died without suffering, at home,' the doctor said. Dr. Sergio Alfieri coordinated Francis' five-week hospital treatment for double pneumonia and continued to oversee the pope's treatment after the pontiff returned to the Vatican on March 23 for two months of rest to allow a full recovery. Alfieri was alerted at 5:30 a.m. Monday by Francis' healthcare assistant, Massimiliano Strappetti, that Francis had been stricken and needed to be taken to the hospital. The doctor told the Milan daily Corriere della Sera that he arrived 20 minutes later. 'I went into his room, and he had his eyes open. I noted that he did not have respiratory issues, so I tried to call him but he did not respond,'' Alfieri was quoted by Corriere as saying, adding that his lungs were clear and he was receiving supplemental oxygen. 'He also did not respond to stimuli, even painful ones. In that moment I understood there was nothing more to do. He was in a coma.'' Alfieri said it was too risky moving Francis back to the Gemelli hospital, where he was treated for a complex respiratory infection that nearly killed him twice. Two hours after falling ill, the pope died, having suffered a stroke. 'He died without suffering, at home,″ Alfieri told the Rome daily la Repubblica. Cardinal Pietro Parolin arrived and said the rosary over the body, accompanied by the papal household staff, Alfieri told Corriere. 'I gave him a caress, as a farewell,'' the doctor said. Vatican News has reported that the pope managed a gesture of farewell to Strappetti after falling ill. Alfieri became the pope's surgeon when he needed treatment for diverticulitis in 2021. Alfieri tried to get him on a diet after the surgery. 'He had a big sweet tooth, and sometimes would go to the kitchen at the Santa Marta hotel for a midnight snack. He put on a dozen kilograms [nearly 30 pounds] too many. At times I came off as too rigorous, because he told me, 'Remember to live with irony.' ' After the pope suffered several severe respiratory crises in the hospital that required decisive treatment, the surgeon said, 'We knew he wouldn't return to his former condition, and that the infection had left another scar on his lungs.' Still, 'he improved with physical therapy. I saw him on Saturday, and I found him in good shape. I didn't think it would be the last meeting,' Alfieri told la Repubblica. Though Francis was ordered to rest and avoid crowds for two months to recover, Alfieri expressed understanding for the pope's desire to return to work. 'Going back to work was part of his treatment, and he never exposed himself to dangers,″ Alfieri told Corriere. Francis couldn't resist appearing in St. Peter's Square on Sunday, which culminated with a long drive through the Easter crowd of 50,000 on the pope mobile, with several stops to bless children. He also insisted on inviting healthcare workers from the Gemelli hospital to the Vatican before Easter, even though the doctor suggested they wait until the end of the two-month convalescence in June. 'I have the clear sensation now that there were a series of things he felt he had to do before dying,″ Alfieri told Corriere. 'We knew he wanted to return home to be pope until the last instant, and he didn't disappoint us.' Barry writes for the Associated Press.
