Chiesa makes Liverpool transfer decision amid Napoli talks
Italy international Federico Chiesa believes his time at Liverpool is over, so his agents have already held talks with Napoli, but Milan could also join the race.
Former Juventus and Fiorentina winger Chiesa is eager to leave Liverpool in the 2025 summer transfer window.

The Italian winger has been struggling with playing time at Anfield in the 2024-25 season, scoring just two goals and providing two assists in 14 appearances across all competitions.

It is no secret that Antonio Conte already wanted Chiesa last year, although negotiations with Juventus never began.
Chiesa could also be a suitable name for Milan this summer.
Napoli's options on the wings

Chiesa believes his time at Anfield is over and Napoli are looking for two new wingers.
Their priority is Dan Ndoye as long as Bologna don't raise his price tag too high. Another option is Mattia Zaccagni. His price tag surely isn't low, but the Biancocelesti have already shown interest in Napoli's Giacomo Raspadori, just like their city rivals, Roma.

Florian Wirtz joins list of most expensive soccer signings in history
Florian Wirtz became one of the most expensive players in soccer history when the Germany playmaker joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen on Friday for a fee of up to 116 million pounds ($156 million). Neymar: $262 million (222 million euros) Paris Saint-Germain shattered the world-record transfer fee by signing the Brazil superstar from Barcelona in August 2017. It was more than double the outlay of Manchester United to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus for $116 million a year earlier. It remains the record transfer fee. ___ Kylian Mbappé: $216 million (180 million euros) A few weeks after buying Neymar, PSG also secured a loan deal for Mbappé — then the rising star of French soccer playing for Monaco — that included the option to make the move permanent in 2018. PSG did so, making it an outlay of nearly $500 million on two players. ___ Flush with cash after selling Neymar a year earlier, Barcelona spent most of it in a deal to buy Brazil playmaker Coutinho from Liverpool for a Spanish record fee. ___ Moises Caicedo: $146 million (115 million pounds) The Ecuador midfielder's move was previously the most expensive deal by a British club, with Chelsea buying him from Brighton in August 2023. ___ João Félix: $140 million (126 million euros) Atletico Madrid triggered a buyout clause in Félix's contract to sign the Portugal forward from Benfica in August 2019. ___ Jude Bellingham: $139 million (128.5 million euros) The England star got his big move to Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in June 2023, for an initial up-front fee of 103 million euros plus add-ons linked to performance. ___ Antoine Griezmann: $134 million (120 million euros) Atletico could afford to sign Félix after selling France forward Griezmann to Barcelona for a similar fee a few weeks earlier. ___ Neymar: $98 million (90 million euros) Outside from Europe, the biggest transfer deal also involved Neymar when he joined Al Hilal, a team in the Saudi Pro League, from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2023. That came at the height of Saudi Arabia's push to sign high-end soccer talent to ignite the oil-rich state's domestic league. ___

Summary AsMilano Cortina 2026draws near, a new league of Italian artists present their take on the long-standing poster Milanoand Fondazione Milano Cortina have unveiled the official art posters for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games next January. Helmed by Damiano Gullì and the international Olympic and Paralympic committees, the initiative invited 10 artists under 40 to reimagine the events through the lens of Italian contemporary art, bringing forth a range of gouache, acrylic, digital and mixed-media compositions. This year's cohort of Olympic poster artists features an all-women roster with contributions from Beatrice Alici, Martina Cassatella, Giorgia Garzilli, Maddalena Tesser and Flaminia Veronesi. From Garzilli's gelato-stacked Olympic rings to Alici's milk-white ski scene and Cassatella's fiery hand-as-torch, each piece offers a vibrant take on competition and collaboration, through themes of myth, joy and bliss. The Paralympic series shifts focus to strength, resilience and solidarity.

Dating back to 1972, the Olympic art posters serve as symbolic reflections of the Games' triumphant spirit, previously spotlighting cultural icons like Andy Warhol, David Hockney andHirohiko ArakiofJojo's Bizarre Adventurefor the Tokyo Games in 2020. Now, a new generation of artists carries the torch forward. All ten posters, alongside the official torches of Milano Cortina 2026 are now on view at Piano Parco Galleries through March 15, 2026.

Potential record deal puts Elliott's name back in the headlines as Albion are linked
Harvey Elliott, pictured with Yasin Ayari, could be on the move (Image: Simon Dack) Harvey Elliott's name is being linked with Albion again – after Liverpool clinched a record deal. The champions' move for Florian Wirtz will set them back an initial £100 million. That will become a British record £116 million if various clauses are met. Advertisement It also appears to affect Elliott's potential to play significant minutes for the Reds. Albion were believed to be interested in Elliott during the January transfer window and probably before that. That might at least partly explain why The Sun report him to be of interest to the Seagulls in the current window. He would command a sizeable fee and comes with some uncertainty over what he can produce in the Premier League on a consistent basis. But Elliott, who is currently with England under-21s at the Euros, has shown plenty of promise. He scored for Liverpool at the Amex towards the end of the season. Advertisement There is no suggestion that Albion have bid for Elliott but there is a theory the presence of his former Anfield mentor James Milner could help persuade the 22-year-old to move. Albion have an array of options in attacking midfield areas but plenty of outward activity is expected during the summer transfer window.
