Ranieri expressed no regrets about previously turning down the national team job while at Roma, stating he follows his heart. He also noted he will study proposals from Maldini and Leonardo regarding a 10-year youth development plan.

The 25-year-old has struggled at Old Trafford, starting only five Premier League matches and scoring five goals since joining in 2024.

Borussia Dortmund has submitted an offer slightly exceeding €30 million (including achievable bonuses) for Cologne attacking player Saïd El Mala, but Cologne has dismissed it as a 'ridiculous offer' and insists on a €50 million asking price. Dortmund's management, led by Lars Ricken and Ole Book, believes the offer reflects market value. However, Cologne is dissatisfied with the offer structure and unrealistic bonus clauses, such as El Mala winning Bundesliga Player of the Season or a Ballon d'Or nomination. Relations between the two clubs have deteriorated, with Cologne officials no longer willing to negotiate with Dortmund. The player and his family prefer a transfer within the Bundesliga, having rejected clubs like Roma. RB Leipzig is also monitoring the situation but cannot meet Cologne's price. The transfer saga is expected to continue through the summer.

Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville, 24, has been sold by relegated Premier League club West Ham United to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal for a deal worth £55 million plus £5 million in add-ons (totaling over €70 million). Despite earlier bids from AS Roma (up to €47 million) and interest from Manchester United, Tottenham, and Aston Villa, Al-Hilal secured the transfer.

Manchester United continue their summer midfield rebuild under Michael Carrick, having already signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. The club faces a potential setback in their pursuit of Roma's Manu Kone, as Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli have reportedly contacted Roma with 'concrete interest' in the 25-year-old France international. Kone, who impressed at the World Cup, is said to favour a Premier League move but is not ruling out a switch to Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, United are in 'pole position' alongside Arsenal to sign Bournemouth's Alex Scott, 22. Scott's representatives have held talks with both clubs, and the player is expected to make a final decision within two weeks.

Tresoldi's contract with Club Brugge runs until 2029, potentially complicating a transfer.

Deportivo La Coruña is taking a measured approach in the transfer market after completing most of their signings. Their top priorities are a left-footed center-back and a left-back, with a striker and right winger also being monitored. The left-back position is critical as Quagliata lacks a backup. Deportivo remains interested in Angeliño, a former youth academy player, but his high salary and transfer fee from Roma, along with Deportivo's status as a newly promoted team, complicate the deal. Other left-back targets include Álex Moreno (Girona), Alberto Moreno (free agent), Alberto Bretones (Osasuna), and Ricardo Rodríguez (free agent). Competing clubs like Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano, and Real Sociedad are also in the market. Angeliño's limited playing time under Gasperini at Roma could make him more affordable. Deportivo is prepared to wait for the right opportunity.
Chelsea are preparing to sell winger Alejandro Garnacho after one season, rejecting loan offers from AS Roma and demanding a permanent €40 million fee. The 22-year-old Argentine, signed from Manchester United for £40 million, struggled for regular playing time and missed preseason training.

Manchester United holds a 10% sell-on clause.
Chelsea have set a £25m asking price for defender Axel Disasi, who is close to leaving the club after two failed attempts to sell him in previous summers.

Premier League referee Anthony Taylor has retired at age 47 after 16 years at the top level, citing intense pressure and constant scrutiny. The article, written by a fellow referee, argues that Taylor's departure is symptomatic of a deeper crisis in football officiating. It notes that approximately 7,000 of the UK's 28,000 referees leave the game each year due to abuse and lack of support. The author recounts personal experiences of post-match attacks and describes how players and managers routinely surround and scapegoat referees. Taylor had previously hinted at considering quitting, referencing unfair criticism and the psychological tactic of 'bombarding the ref.' The piece warns that without meaningful action to protect officials, more referees—from grassroots to elite—will follow Taylor's lead and quit the game.
Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson has told the UK Metro that Chelsea should accelerate their pursuit of Roma midfielder Manu Kone, who is also being monitored by Manchester United and Arsenal. Johnson believes Kone, who impressed for France at the World Cup, would be the perfect replacement if Enzo leaves Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's new manager Xabi Alonso is looking to strengthen midfield after selling Andre Santos to Manchester United for £48 million. The Blues have opened preliminary talks with Roma, valuing Kone at around £51 million. Johnson also commented on Chelsea's forward line, suggesting that young striker Delap is likely to be loaned out or sold to gain consistent playing time. Alonso will focus on evaluating players who did not participate in the World Cup to assess their fit in his tactical system.
The Italian Football Federation, represented by technical director Paolo Maldini and advisor Leonardo, has made a proposal to Pep Guardiola to become the new coach of the Italian national team. The offer would give Guardiola significant authority beyond typical coaching duties. However, Guardiola, who recently left Manchester City after a decade of success, is leaning towards declining. He has publicly stated his desire to rest and spend time with family, citing exhaustion from his intense coaching career. Despite his strong personal ties to Italy—having played for Roma and Brescia, and considering Carlo Mazzone his 'master of life'—the temptation to pause remains strong. The article notes that the role of national team coach offers different dynamics than club management, and Guardiola could potentially reshape Italian football, but he is currently unconvinced.
According to Swiss Sky Sports, Saudi club Al-Ahli has directly contacted Roma to inquire about the transfer price of French midfielder Manu Kone. The Saudi team is genuinely interested after his impressive World Cup performances, particularly his coverage, defensive toughness, and transition play. However, Al-Ahli faces competition from Manchester United, who are also tracking Kone, and Atletico Madrid, who have scouted him since April. Kone personally slightly prefers a Premier League move over La Liga but is open to considering Saudi Arabia due to the league's development and Al-Ahli's willingness to offer a competitive contract. Roma is open to selling if an offer matches the player's market value. Al-Ahli has sufficient financial resources to meet the asking price and offer lucrative personal terms. Manchester United and Atletico Madrid need to decide on formal bids in the coming weeks. Kone will evaluate all options with his family and agent after the season, prioritizing stable playing time and a high-level competitive environment. His future is expected to become clearer in the coming weeks.

It highlights six standout performers: Ayyoub Bouaddi (Lille), Maxi Araujo (Sporting CP), Antonio Nusa (RB Leipzig), and Manu Kone (Roma), among others.

Villa will cover the majority of his salary. Manager Unai Emery was the driving force behind the transfer, having wanted Garnacho last summer and persisting despite interest from Roma. The deal is separate from Morgan Rogers' record £117 million transfer to Chelsea. Villa sees Garnacho as a market opportunity to replace Rogers' 14-goal contribution. Emery's preference for fast, direct wingers who can play both flanks aligns with Garnacho's profile.

Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville, 24, is a top transfer target for Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, and PSG after strong 2026 World Cup performances for the Netherlands. West Ham, relegated from the Premier League, values him at £50 million. United’s interest depends on Marcus Rashford’s future.

French media outlet Foot Mercato reports that Roma has made an official inquiry to Chelsea regarding center-back Axel Disasi. Chelsea has set a price of approximately €20 million for the 28-year-old French international, who has five caps for his country.
