Liverpool forward on the brink of agreeing transfer move
Diaz and Bayern are close It's the German giants Bayern Munich who have displayed the most interest in Diaz so far and they're intent on getting their man, despite the high €100m asking price that Liverpool have put on him. We didn't know if Liverpool would consider budging on their demands, since the stance that club has shown so far has been one of 'he's not for sale', but the latest reports claims there's been movement. According to Nicolo Schira, who posted an update on X: "Luis Diaz is getting closer to Bayern Munich from Liverpool for €75m. Agreement in principle with the winger for a contract until 2030." That figure would equate to around £65m which is £16m profit on the £49m Liverpool paid in 2022.

Report – Inter Milan & Spezia In Advanced Talks For Talented Greek Center-Back
Negotiations between Inter Milan and Spezia for up-and-coming defender Christos Alexiou have reached 'advanced' stages. According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira via FCInterNews, the youngster should join the Aquilotti on loan. Francesco Pio Esposito made a name for himself at Stadio Alberto Picco last season. Therefore, Spezia see Christos Alexiou as the next promising talent to benefit from regular minutes in their backline. Inter Milan & Spezia in Talks for Christos Alexiou The two clubs are ironing out the final details, with a deal expected to come soon. Indeed, Alexiou should join the Serie B side on a season-long loan. However, whether Spezia would have a buyout option remains uncertain. Meanwhile, it would be Alexiou's first taste of senior football in Italy. He has been part of the Primavera squad since joining Inter from Atromitos in 2021. Furthermore, he captained the U20 side and featured in the UEFA Youth League with great success. Alexiou's impressive showings at the youth level have not gone unnoticed. Indeed, Greek powerhouse Olympiacos showed interest in his services toward the end of last season. However, talks between the clubs never took off as Alexiou looks close to joining Spezia.
