Roma in talks with Ezzalzouli
Roma continue their search for an attacking left-back to complete Gian Piero Gasperini's squad. Among the names being monitored by the Giallorossi management, according to Gazzetta Regionale, Real Betis man Abde Ezzalzouli remains a concrete possibility. After a strong season in La Liga and the Conference League, where he scored six goals, the former Barcelona youth player is back in the spotlight. In recent weeks, he seemed close to joining Como, but the newly promoted club has reportedly cooled their interest, leaving the door open to other potential buyers. Among them is Roma, which is closely monitoring his situation. Ezzalzouli is valued at just under €20 million and has something in common with another familiar face at Trigoria: he is represented by the same agency as Angeliño, IF Football. A detail that could facilitate negotiations, should Roma decide to accelerate the move to bring the Moroccan international to the Giallorossi.

Former Premier League manager Ivan Juric, 49, rushed to hospital after ‘serious inflammation of upper airways'
FORMER Premier League manager Ivan Juric has been hospitalised after suffering "serious inflammation" of his upper airways. The 49-year-old is currently in charge of Serie A big boys Atalanta having replaced Gian Piero Gasperini as manager last month. 1 But he wasn't present for the club's first pre-season training session after a bacterial infection caused part of his airways to become seriously inflamed. An Atalanta statement read: ""talanta BC announces that coach Ivan Jurić was hospitalized in recent days at the Bolognini Hospital in Seriate, in the ENT department headed by Dr. Davide Panciera, following a serious inflammation of the upper airways, complicated by a bacterial infection of the epiglottis, which was treated with intravenous antibiotics." The condition of Croatian Juric is, thankfully, improving. Atalanta's statement continued: "The current clinical picture is significantly improving, and a protected discharge is expected in the next few days." Juric has yet to issue a statement on his hospitalisation. The Croat inked a two-year deal with Atalanta in early June. His appointment as La Dea chief came just over three months after he was sacked by Southampton following their relegation to the Championship. Juric was in charge of Saints for just 107 days and admits he won't, from a sporting perspective, look back on his time at St Mary's with any fondness. Following confirmation of his return to Serie A management, he said: "[It was) a negative year on a sporting level. "[From a] human and knowledge level, it was fantastic. "I think I feel much stronger than a year ago, because [at] Roma I saw great clubs, great players. I learned a lot. "In Southampton, I appreciated a fabulous Premier League. "People who are in the club, who know how to work. "I saw really beautiful things. In the Premier League, I also remember the level of the players, [it's] very high. "I think two negative experiences on the one hand, and on the other, [it was] very positive for me and my growth." THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
