Brighton star risks wrath of fans by admitting his dream to sign for Liverpool
Liverpool have been very busy when it comes to the transfer market this summer and it appears another Premier League stars fancies a switch to Anfield in the near future Brighton star Igor Julio has revealed he fancies a move to Liverpool after urging a teammate to sign for the Reds. The Brazilian defender only signed for the Seagulls in 2023 from Italian side Fiorentina. Since then, he has gone on to make 49 appearances over two seasons. Despite his limited opportunities, the 27-year-old has claimed it would be his dream to become a Liverpool player in the near future, while also urging Brighton 's star striker Joao Pedro to pursue a similar switch to Anfield. 'Joao Pedro had already told Brighton some time ago that his desire was to leave, seek new things, take the next step,' Igor told Trivela. 'It seems it will be difficult and complicated for him to stay here. 'We have to be honest, the club already knows that. (I'm) very happy for him. He deserves it. He's been here in England for five years and hasn't played for a big team yet. It's his moment, his time, so he can make the best decision and be happy wherever he is. 'He always told me that he really wants to live in London, so I think he will prioritise what comes from there first. 'I told [Pedro] that he has to think about what he wants from his career. In my opinion, if I were going to a 'Big Six' team, I would go to a team that fights for the Premier League, plays in the Champions League and is always in a position to win. 'I would go to a Liverpool team and I think he would fit in perfectly at Liverpool. It's because I've always dreamed of playing for Liverpool and I would go there.' Igor, 27, still has two years left to run on his contract with Brighton following his £14m move from Fiorentina. The defender has been backed to have plenty of interest in his services heading into the second part of the summer transfer window. But it appears unlikely that Liverpool will be among the clubs tracking him. Arne Slot 's side are well stocked at centre-back, with Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez and Jarrel Quansah all capable of playing in the position. That situation could change should either of the latter two decide to move on over the coming months having been linked with moves away. But even then, Liverpool appear likely to have their own targets. Former Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen was linked with a move ahead of his £50m switch to Real Madrid. Goncalo Inacio has also been mentioned but as it stands, Liverpool are focusing their efforts on getting deals for Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez over the line.

Bracing for a cheese clash
Leonardi at Igor's production facility in Cameri, Italy, outside of Milan. — Matteo de Mayda/The New York Times ITALIAN food producers have long fretted over competition from American brands that are made to look, and sound, as if they are from Italy. Some carry Italian flags and Tuscan-looking landscapes on their labels; others have (sometimes made-up) Italian-sounding names.

This household appliance may be a breeding ground for superbacteria — and cleaning agents can make it worse
Talk about a dirty little secret. One everyday appliance — a staple of domestic hygiene — may actually be harboring microscopic nasties that no amount of disinfectant can scrub away. 3 This staple of domestic hygiene could be harboring harmful bacteria, a new study says. magdal3na – Advertisement While you might be eyeballing your toilet or your trash can, a new study says it's actually your washing machine that could be teeming with antibiotic-resistant superbugs — and, shockingly, using detergent may only be making them stronger. Published in the journal PLOS ONE, the study tested several machines and found that — even when set to hot — half of home washing machines don't achieve high enough temperatures to effectively kill bacteria. Advertisement Even worse, common cleaning chemicals such as bleach-based disinfectants and antibacterial detergents may actually tip the evolutionary scales in the bacteria's favor by eliminating weaker microbes while letting the resilient ones multiply. While hospitals have long known the risk of cross-contamination through laundry, this new research highlights how the average home washer may be quietly cultivating a similar microbial threat. And with cold or eco-friendly cycles on the rise, many households are inadvertently making things worse, as most bugs can survive washes under 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This isn't the first time sickening superbugs in washing machines have made headlines. Advertisement 3 Detergent might actually be by eliminating weaker microbes while letting the resilient ones multiply. phurinee – In 2019, harmful pathogens were discovered in the knitted caps and socks used to keep babies warm in the ICU — the bacteria was traced back to the German hospital's energy-saving washing machines. At the time, researchers said this had 'implications for household use of washers' as 'resistance genes, as well as different microorganisms, can persist in domestic washing machines at those reduced temperatures.' More recently, content creator @thatcleanhome shocked her followers by revealing just how gross her washing machine turned out to be when she put it through an empty self-cleaning cycle. Advertisement 3 Researchers recommend cleaning your washing machine regularly and getting it replaced every four years. Igor – To mitigate the risks, the researchers of this new study advise shooting for temperatures above 158 degrees Fahrenheit — especially if you're washing clothing that is likely to be heavily soiled or bacteria-laden, such as the hospital clothing worn by healthcare workers. They also recommend cleaning your washing machine regularly and getting it replaced every four years. If possible, you might want to steer clear of doing your laundry at home altogether and opt for professional laundry cleaning services instead, they said.

A Shadow Hanging Over Europe: ‘A Taste of Italy' Made in New Jersey
Italian food producers have long fretted over competition from American brands that are made to look, and sound, as if they are from Italy. Some carry Italian flags and Tuscan-looking landscapes on their labels; others have (sometimes made-up) Italian-sounding names. But since President Trump began his tariff war with Europe, those concerns have become outright alarm. American competitors could gain an unfair advantage in U.S. supermarkets, the Italians say, turning crumbled Gorgonzola cheese made in the Midwest into a new threat. 'They could take over,' said Fabio Leonardi, the chief executive of Igor, an Italian Gorgonzola producer in Novara, west of Milan. 'Authentic Italian products could be replaced with Italian-sounding products from Wisconsin.' That, according to one American, would be a culinary travesty. 'I will not go back to the green shaker of unrefrigerated dust that America calls Parm, has the balls to call Parm,' Stephen Colbert said on 'The Late Show' this month. 'I am not interested in eating eggplant à la dandruff.' Italy exports nearly $9 billion worth of foodstuffs to the United States, with Parmigiano-Reggiano, Gorgonzola, Prosecco and olive oil filling American kitchen cabinets and restaurant menus.
