Tagliafico remains Roma's alternative to De Cuyper
Roma are taking steps to find a replacement for Angeliño in the event of the Spaniard's departure, due to the need to balance the books due to the 'Financial Fair Play'. The other left winger Anass Salah-Eddine will probably also leave on loan. Advertisement According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Giallorossi are trying to convince Maxim De Cuyper, the Belgian full-back from Club Bruges who has expressed his desire to change teams: it is a deal worth 20 million euros. However, Roma, should the deal not come to fruition, has an alternative ready: Nicolàs Tagliafico, the Argentine full-back from Lyon who is leaving on a free transfer. Tagliafico will be officially released starting June 30 and his name is among those on Frederic Massara's shortlist. A possible arrival on a free transfer would represent an important opportunity for the capital club.

How to watch X Games Salt Lake City Day 2: Gold up for grabs Saturday
Saturday picks up the pace as X Games Salt Lake City rages on. Riders and skaters from more than a dozen countries are set to compete across eight events. Once centered in American subcultures, these sports are now proving grounds for international competition. Tricks and techniques move across borders, and progression accelerates. Advertisement Two crowd-favorite events headline the day: BMX Dirt Best Trick and Moto X Best Whip. One relies on precision, while the other thrives on instinct. An all-day digital livestream of Saturday's events can be found on the Roku Sports Channel. In BMX Dirt Best Trick, riders like Ryan Williams and Andy Buckworth aim for something groundbreaking. Each run is a gamble — a limited window to land a trick no one has nailed before. It's a risk versus reward scenario on a live stage. Moto X Best Whip strips things down further. Riders launch, snap or whip their bikes sideways midair and hold the pose longer than seems possible. There are no timers or point systems in place. Just amplitude, control and crowd response. Elsewhere, Nyjah Huston enters Men's Skateboard Street with a chance to tie X Games gold medal record-holder Garrett Reynolds at 16. Chloe Covell leads a rapidly rising Women's Skateboard Street field, while Arisa Trew looks to maintain her dominance in Women's Skateboard Vert. Saturday is not a buildup to the finale. It is the turning point. Streaming and ticketing links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic. Restrictions may apply. The Athletic maintains full editorial independence.
