Juventus are continuing to trim fat, but it's still not enough to finally table their offer for Frank Kessié, and Roma have entered the race, joining Al-Ittihad and other Saudi sides that would cover him in gold to keep him in their league, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
After releasing Arthur Melo, the Bianconeri will bid farewell to Fabio Miretti. He'll move to Besiktas, like Dusan Vlahovic, on a loan with a conditional obligation to buy. The Old Lady also completed Michele Di Gregorio's exit and Kamil Grabara's arrival, with a temporary formula with a €12M acquisition clause. Instead, Mattia Perin transferred to Palermo on a €500k move.
On the other hand, the recent departures don't suffice yet for Juventus to really step up their Kessié pursuit. They have to find a solution for the burdensome Teun Koopmeiners, Jonathan David, and Nicolas Gonzalez. Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik are also on the chopping block.
In the meantime, Roma have shown some interest in the Ivorian powerhouse, who broke out under Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta. They have skirted the Manchester United threat for Manu Koné, as the Red Devils completed their midfield with Carlos Baleba. Other sides could be keen on him, but Neil El Aynaoui is a more precarious spot now.
They shouldn't waste any more time and should sign him in after managing to have a hold on him for so long, and worry about the departures later. Koopmeiners is the main Gordian knot, but there may also be issues with his personal terms. It's been a while since the capital club signed a veteran with bloated wages, even though Gasperini surely wouldn't mind.

Kamil Grabara has officially joined Juventus as the Bianconeri strengthen their squad with a second goalkeeper in just a few days, with both players joining on loan, as confirmed by the club's official website.
Goalkeeper has been a problem position for Juventus for some time, and Luciano Spalletti was determined to change that this summer, so he asked the club's bosses for a new number one.
He had to replace Michele di Gregorio in that position, which happened when Guglielmo Vicario joined on loan from Tottenham and Di Gregorio agreed a move to Bournemouth on a similar arrangement.
Juventus had their new first choice, but Palermo then moved for Mattia Perin and he agreed to join them, forcing the Old Lady back into the market for another goalkeeper.
They have now secured a loan move for Grabara from Wolfsburg following their relegation from the Bundesliga last season, and the Polish goalkeeper will be their second choice.

Dua Lipa has revealed the two pieces of advice she and Callum Turner followed on their wedding day.
The British pop star tied the knot with the Masters of the Air actor in Palermo, Sicily in early June, several days after getting legally married in a small civil ceremony at London's Marylebone Town Hall.
Opening up about their weddings in a cover interview with Vogue Italia, Lipa revealed the advice they decided to follow to maximise their enjoyment of the celebrations.
"The wedding day was magical," she gushed. "We received so much advice, but we decided to follow just two pieces of it: to experience the day as if we were guests ourselves and to constantly seek each other out in the crowd, never losing sight of one another. That way, we really have so many memories together."
Lipa and Turner began dating in 2024, and she confirmed their engagement in July 2025.
Elsewhere in the interview, the New Rules singer reflected on how finding love has changed her approach to songwriting.

Lucas Perri has been linked with a move to Torino from Leeds in the last few weeks, and it is a transfer that was expected to be completed before the window closes.
However, with only a few days remaining, Torino have not completed the move, which could become a problem for them because Juventus are now interested in signing the Brazilian.
Juventus are set to lose their first and second choice goalkeepers from last season, as Michele Di Gregorio is heading to Bournemouth while Mattia Perin is moving to Palermo.
Juve have signed Guglielmo Vicario on loan from Tottenham, but they now need more than one goalkeeper, and Calciomercato says they want to sign Perri.
As Torino struggle to add him to their squad, the Bianconeri want to hijack the move in the coming days. The report says they have made contact in an attempt to lure him to their side of Turin.

Juventus begin their Serie A campaign under Luciano Spalletti with an away trip to newly promoted Frosinone on Sunday.The Bianconeri arrive at the season opener after a reassuring pre-season under Spalletti.
Throughout August they showed encouraging form, registering 1–0 and 2–0 wins over Chelsea and Palermo respectively. They completed their warm-up fixtures with a 2–0 victory against Juventus Next Gen. Their only setback in that period was a narrow 1–2 defeat to rivals Inter Milan.
Defensive options are limited as dependable centre-back Federico Gatti is out with an ankle problem, and young forward Jeff Ekhator is also unavailable.
Additionally, goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio has been omitted from the traveling party amid an expected move to Premier League club Bournemouth.
On the bright side, Spalletti confirmed that marquee summer recruits Guglielmo Vicario and Randal Kolo Muani are fully fit and will make their competitive debuts in the starting XI.

Juventus beat Palermo 2-0 in their latest pre-season match, and Luciano Spalletti was pleased with what he saw as he continues preparing his team for the new season. The Bianconeri had suffered a defeat against Inter Milan in their previous match, making a positive response important, and they managed to deliver one against Palermo.
Juventus are among the teams expected to perform strongly in Serie A this season after an underwhelming campaign last term. They will be determined to meet those expectations, and their pre-season performances have provided encouraging signs ahead of the competitive campaign.
Spalletti is an experienced manager who will be looking for the right players to fit his system as Juventus prepare for the new season. The team's overall form during the pre-season suggests that the manager is making progress with his squad and helping the Bianconeri develop the style he wants.
The victory over Palermo was not straightforward, with Juventus facing an opponent capable of creating difficulties. However, the Bianconeri showed enough quality to secure the win and bounce back from their previous defeat against Inter Milan.
After the match, Spalletti praised the intensity and quality of the contest. He also identified an area where his players must improve before the season begins, particularly their tendency to lose possession.

Juventus have ended their pre-season tour of South-East Asia and Australia with a 2-0 victory over Serie B outfit Palermo on Tuesday afternoon thanks to goals from starman Kenan Yildiz and a rare strike from the lesser-spotted Arkadiusz Milik.
Following victories against Standard Liege and OGC Nice back in Europe, Juventus beat Chelsea 1-0 in Hong Kong, fell to a 2-1 victory against Inter in Perth over the weekend but bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Palermo in their final Australian friendly on Tuesday.
Luciano Spalletti named a strong Bianconeri XI for the pre-season test against Palermo, including both of his two most recent signings in Kerim Alajbegovic and Randal Kolo Muani. They were joined by Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao in attack, with Weston McKennie and Douglas Luiz in a midfield double pivot.

Kenan Yildiz and Kerim Alajbegovic get to start together for the first time as Juventus take on Palermo in their penultimate pre-season friendly of the summer on Tuesday afternoon.
Juventus are taking on Palermo in Perth, Australia on Tuesday, which kicks off at 11.00 BST (12.00 CET).
Luciano Spalletti appears to have gone with a 4-2-3-1 on Tuesday, featuring both of his two most recent signings in Alajbegovic and Randal Kolo Muani. Alajbegovic appears set to play in a central role behind Kolo Muani with Yildiz to his left and Francisco Conceicao to his right.

ROME/BUDAPEST, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Italy took the unprecedented step of placing all its major cities on the highest level of health alert due to high temperatures on Thursday while Hungary turned ‌off the lights at some of its best-known buildings to save energy as a heatwave maintained its grip on ‌large parts of Europe.
Europe, the world's fastest-warming continent, has been ravaged by record-breaking heat and destructive wildfires this summer, with France and Spain particularly hard hit in recent weeks.
The focus of the heatwave has since moved further east, with temperatures in Austria hitting successive national records this week, peaking at 41.2 degrees Celsius (106.2 degrees Fahrenheit) on Wednesday.
Italy is accustomed to hot summers, but the red alert issued by the Health Ministry stretches from Palermo on the southern island of Sicily to Bolzano in the mountainous north. Such a warning indicates a potential health emergency ‌with prolonged high temperatures posing a serious ⁠health risk to the entire population.

Liam Payne's behavior reportedly grew increasingly erratic during the final hours of his life, with newly obtained witness statements offering one of the most detailed accounts yet of what unfolded before his fatal fall. Two women who spent several hours with the former One Direction singer on October 16, 2024, described the condition of his Buenos Aires hotel room, his alleged substance use, and the troubling escalation they witnessed before leaving shortly before 4 p.m. Payne died just 67 minutes later after falling from the balcony of his third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was 31.

According to sworn statements obtained by the Daily Mail, Aldana Serrano and Lucila Goitea arrived at the CasaSur Palermo at approximately 11:30 a.m. after Payne allegedly contacted Serrano through an escort website. Serrano initially questioned whether she was actually communicating with the world-famous singer and reportedly asked him to prove his identity.
"Liam contacted me via WhatsApp today (October 16, 2024) around 11 am. The whole time he spoke to me in English. He told me who he was and he sent me a video of him. The video wasn't current; it was him singing," she told investigators. "He also sent me pictures of him which he took while he was in bed, before we got there."
The hotel reportedly collected the women's identification before allowing them to enter room 310, enabling authorities to locate them quickly following Payne's death. "He was alone in his room. He greeted us warmly and I asked him for payment. We tried to communicate, but it was difficult because he only spoke English and I only Spanish," Serrano recalled.

Manchester City have confirmed the coaches that will join the club as part of Enzo Maresca's backroom team, with all having previously worked with the Italian.
Maresca signed a three-year contract to replace Pep Guardiola and compatriot Roberto Vitiello will become his new **** istant manager.
The 43-year-old started his career at Parma and played for Cesena, Vicenza, Rimini, Siena and at Palermo along with Maresca.
Willy Caballero joins as a first-team coach and returns to City, where he made 48 appearances as a goalkeeper and helped them win the 2013-14 League Cup with some penalty shootout heroics.
The Argentine is a former team-mate of Maresca from when they played for Malaga under ex-City boss Manuel Pellegrini.

North West made a statement at Vetements' Spring/Summer 2027 menswear show during Paris Fashion Week, debuting an edgy new faux facial-piercing look that perfectly matched her signature alternative style. The 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West arrived in blue pigtails with her apparent angel-bite lip studs drawing attention. But North was far from the only headline-making guest. Sharon Stone returned to the runway for the first time in more than three decades, while Britney Spears' sons Sean Preston and Jayden James both took to the catwalk in their modelling debuts. Olivia Palermo, Natalia Vodianova and Alexandre Grimaldi were also among the glamorous crowd.
North West ensured all eyes were on her with an edgy all-black Vetements look. The 13-year-old paired an oversized graphic top with a pleated mini skirt, sheer tights and chunky black boots wrapped in oversized silver chains. Her vivid turquoise-blue hair was styled into high pigtails, while her apparent faux lip, cheek and nose jewellery, spiked collar and dramatic manga-inspired makeup gave the outfit a full punk-pop finish.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's eldest son, Sean Preston Spears, made a confident runway appearance in a striking all-black ensemble. He wore a long satin-finish black coat with graphic patches and labels , layered over a black **** on-down shirt and necktie. Faded blue jeans and glossy black shoes gave the tailored look a deliberately undone edge, perfectly suited to Vetements' subversive approach to menswear.
Jayden joined his older brother Sean on the Vetements runway, opting for a more stripped-back take on the collection. Britney's younger son wore a fitted white tank top with relaxed pale-blue jeans, finished with a brown leather belt, oversized buckle and a cluster of chains at his hip. Dark leather shoes and softly tousled hair completed the effortless, off-duty look.
Sharon made one of the show's most memorable runway appearances, returning to the Paris Fashion Week catwalk more than 30 years after her last turn for Valentino. The Basic Instinct star wore an oversized white blazer over a black shirt and white tie, paired with ultra-shiny black thigh-high boots. Her sleek centre-parted blonde bob and understated makeup allowed the sharply tailored, high-contrast look to take centre stage.

After the World Cup failure, the comeback!

After Sion, Palermo, OFI Crete, Pisa, AC Milan, Napoli, Valencia, Marseille, and Split, the former midfielder will now coach his tenth club.
