Roma add Parma's Mateo Pellegrino to summer shortlist
With the season nearing an end, Roma are already planning their summer transfer window.
Among the profiles Roma are monitoring, according to Leggo, is Mateo Pellegrino, the Argentine striker currently playing for Parma.
The 23-year-old player is said to have been observed with particular attention during the match against Lazio last night.
His current salary is around 300 thousand euros, making him an economically advantageous option compared to other market targets.
However, the Roma management are not the only ones to have turned the spotlight on the South American talent: Inter have also reportedly shown interest.
So far, Pellegrino has collected 9 goals and 3 assists in his first season in Serie A.

Dzeko scores, Ndoye worry and Cancellieri shines: friendly match roundup 👀
There's less and less time until the start of the 2025/26 season, and many Serie A teams have already taken to the field in their first friendlies. Today, six clubs from our championship played, and all of them achieved a win that gives them confidence. Bologna-Virtus Verona (7-0) Bologna overwhelmed Virtus Verona 7-0 in their second summer friendly. A match with no history, already closed in the first half with the goals of Lucumí (33′), Orsolini (36′), and Ferguson (40′). In the second half, El Azzouzi scored the fourth goal, followed by a gem from Immobile (78′), a beautiful free kick from Holm (81′), and the final seal from Dominguez in stoppage time. However, what sparked discussion was Lodovici's harsh intervention on Dan Ndoye in the early minutes. Hit on his left foot, the Swiss winger left the field limping and upset, heading directly to the locker room (HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF THE INJURY). Fiorentina-Fiorentina U20 (8-0) Good seasonal debut for Stefano Pioli's Fiorentina, who easily beat the Primavera team 8-0 in their first summer friendly. A useful test to accumulate minutes and start experimenting with the first tactical solutions in view of the new season. Dodô stood out, scoring the first goal and appearing in great condition. First Viola goal, instead, for Dzeko, who scored the third goal after Kean's double. In the second half, several young players stood out, including Jacopo Fazzini: goal, assist, and a lot of personality for him, and Ndour, who scored a hat-trick. Lazio-Lazio U20 (3-0) Good seasonal debut for Sarri's Lazio, who beat the Primavera 3-0 in the first test at Formello. Pedro unlocked the match at 42' with his classic left-footed shot on Noslin's assist, closing a first half without great emotions. In the second half, Cancellieri shone with a great goal from outside at 68', while Basic scored the third goal at 90' on Belahyane's invitation. A useful friendly to verify the condition and start testing the mechanisms in view of the new season. Successes also for Parma, Pisa, and Verona Not only Serie A big teams.

NYC pawn shop owner pleads guilty to fencing Joe Burrow's stolen property
A New York pawn shop owner has admitted to buying and selling luxury items stolen during a nationwide burglary ring, which included those taken last year from the home of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, 43, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of conspiracy to receive stolen property — including expensive watches, jewelry and handbags — in a Brooklyn federal court, the Associated Press reported. Burrow was among several high-profile athletes whose houses were targeted and robbed by what have been described by the FBI as South American theft crews. 4 Joe Burrow speaks onstage during Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 at Javits Center on June 21, 2025 in New York City. Getty Images The Cincinnati quarterback was playing a road game in Dallas in December when an estimated $300,000 worth of items were taken from his Ohio home. Chiefs teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, and NBA stars Luka Dončić and Mike Conley, were also victimized in the rash of robberies. Three men were arrested and indicted in February by a federal grand jury in Cincinnati, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio, for multiple burglaries, including the one of Burrow's home. 4 Joe Burrow looks on before a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium on January 04, 2025 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

AP No sentencing date has been set, but Nezhinskiy faces a maximum of five years in prison and restitution of roughly $2.5 million. The legal New Jersey resident also potentially faces deportation to the country of Georgia, District Judge William F. Kuntz said. 'This defendant ran a black-market pipeline, buying stolen luxury goods from organized theft crews that targeted homes and businesses,' New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Friday in a statement. 'It was a deliberate operation that helped professional burglars prey on innocent people.' 4 Arraignment of Dimitriy Nezhinskiy and Juan Villar at Brooklyn Federal Court. The two are alleged to be running a fencing operation for a South American theft groups in the Manhattan Diamond District. Gabriella Bass Juan Villar, a 48-year-old Queens resident who ran the pawn shop with Nezhinskiy, had previously pleaded guilty in June to the same charge, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. 'For more than five years, Dimitriy Nezhinskiy established a demand for stolen merchandise, which allowed South American Theft Groups to profit from repeated burglaries,' FBI assistant director in charge Christopher Raia said in a statement. 'His purchases perpetuated a ripple of criminality targeting residences and businesses across the country.' Nezhinskiy and Villar have not been charged in connection with the burglaries, but in searches of the pawn shop and storage units owned by Nezhinskiy in New Jersey police found sports memorabilia, artwork and other luxury merchandise suspected to be stolen in the robberies. They also uncovered power tools 'consistent with those commonly used in burglaries and opening safes,' according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. During the current season of the Netflix series 'Quarterback,' Burrow admitted that he recently canceled the purchase of a replica 'Batmobile' following the home invasion. 'I just get very uncomfortable,' Burrow said. 'My life is very public. That comes with the job, but there's certain parts of your life that are yours. Your house is one of those.'

Federico Chiesa omitted from Liverpool squad for pre-season tour of Far East
Federico Chiesa has been omitted from Liverpool's 29-player pre-season tour squad of Japan and Hong Kong. Liverpool's position is that the Italy international has a minor fitness issue that would be better assessed on Merseyside. The Athletic reported in the DealSheet on June 24 that Chiesa had attracted interest from Serie A clubs. Advertisement The 27-year-old played and scored for Arne Slot's side in Sunday's five-goal friendly win over Stoke City after playing a bit-part role in his debut season at Anfield, where he featured in just six Premier League matches. The former Fiorentina forward has previously said he 'wouldn't mind' staying at Anfield for 2025-26 and understood why he was given limited minutes for his debut season at the club. Chiesa's only league start came in Liverpool's penultimate game of 2024-25, the 3-2 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion, where he played 63 minutes. Chiesa joined Liverpool last summer from Juventus for an initial fee of £10million ($13.1m), potentially rising to £12.5m. He suffered fitness issues last season having previously returned from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in his left knee when at Juve. Slot's squad fly off on their pre-season of Asia on Sunday evening, their first stop is Hong Kong where they will face AC Milan next Saturday at the new 50,000-capacity Kai Tak Stadium. Liverpool will then head for Tokyo as the club visit Japan for the first time since the 2005 Club World Championship final when Rafael Benitez's side lost 1-0 against Sao Paolo. Local team Yokohama F Marinos, who are bottom of the 20-team J1 League, will provide the opposition at the 72,000-capacity Nissan Stadium on July 30. Liverpool's pre-season tour squad: Alisson, Gomez, Endo, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah, Jones, Gakpo, Elliott, Tsimikas, Robertson, Gravenberch, Doak, Woodman, Mamardashvili, Kerkez, Wirtz, Frimpong, Pecsi, Ngumoha, Misciur, Morton, Bradley, Stephenson, Nyoni.
