Lazio's transfer stance on Tchaouna, Rovella and Raspadori
Lazio are not in a hurry to decide on the future of Loum Tchaouna, while Maurizio Sarri feels Giacomo Raspadori might have the same development as Dries Mertens, while Nicolò Rovella won't leave unless his €50m clause is met.
Lazio are not planning to make drastic changes to their squad for the 2025-26 season, despite the appointment of Sarri as their new coach.

I can confirm Tchaouna has attracted interest from Burnley and PSV, but the Biancocelesti have yet to make a final decision on the French winger's future.

Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a primary candidate in midfield, but Bologna's Giovanni Fabbian is also on Lazio's agenda.
West Ham's Emerson Palmieri is seen as a potential replacement for Nuno Tavares at left-back, but the Italian defender has a high salary. The Biancocelesti are also watching Ben Chilwell (Chelsea) and Aaron Martin (Genoa).
Sarri's plan for Raspadori

Napoli's Raspadori is a primary target in attack, as Sarri feels he can have the same development as Mertens at Napoli. The Belgian started his spell at the Stadio Maradona as a winger but reached his career peak as a false nine under the Tuscan tactician.

As for now, Lazio are only following the above-mentioned players and have not started formal talks.
As for Rovella, the Italian midfielder has a €50m clause and Lazio are unwilling to accept a lower offer. Therefore, anyone who wants to sign the Regista must match this fee and convince the player to leave.

Man shatters world record with 465 half-marathons run in a single year
A man who took up jogging while recovering from a hernia has shattered a world record by running 465 half-marathons in just one year. Edward Molineaux, a 34-year-old personal trainer, logged an astonishing 6,000 miles between April 6, 2023, and April 7, 2024. His achievement not only broke his own previous record of 282 half-marathons in 12 months, between 2022 and 2023, but also earned him a world title, according to news agency SWNS. "I used to love sports like boxing, but when I suffered a hernia it took me about two years after my operation to get my body back," Molineaux said. "All I could do was run. I couldn't turn to anything explosive anymore." What began as a way to recover turned into a regular habit. Molineaux, who is British, now inspires others through his dedication, according to reports. "All I could do was run." "I love giving inspiration to other people, and that warrior feeling," he said. "Even being around people doing well - I like seeing people getting better and going higher." The endurance athlete went on to win a 2,000-mile virtual race across Africa. Molineaux said he structures his week around 13 half-marathon runs, often stacking multiple races in a single day, per SWNS. "To complete the half-marathons, I split my week into 13 runs, with three on Monday and Wednesday, two on Tuesday and Thursday, and then just one half-marathon for the remaining three days," he said. Even through blisters, trench foot and fatigue, he said he is undeterred. "Some days I did not feel like doing it, but you need to do it," he said. "It's one of the hardest parts for me, but I pushed myself." His nutrition strategy is as disciplined as his training. "I don't really eat before I run - I don't like feeling full while I'm getting the miles in," he said. "I stick to a lot of fruit really, mainly bananas. For a half-marathon, I run on an empty stomach, maybe just a banana." At night, he said he fuels up on meat and fish. "It all comes from belief." "You won't get a stitch, and it won't stay in the stomach, and you can go at a faster pace," he added. Molineaux's passion for self-discipline and mental resilience is central to his philosophy. "What I would do is do one half-marathon in about two hours, have five minutes rest and then get onto the next one," he said. "You don't know how the body will react or get a second wind. It all comes from belief." Molineaux was officially recognized for his accomplishment on June 1, when he received his Record Breakers world record certificate, said SWNS. His journey from injury recovery to world record holder has made him a symbol of perseverance. Said Molineaux, "I like showing people that you can do it through everything, and through anything,"

Liverpool can replace Diaz with SENSATIONAL wonderkid deal
Lyon could be offloading talents But Cherki is not the only player the Reds have had their eyes on at Lyon. Malick Fofana, 20, has been on the club's radar over the course of 2025. He joined Lyon from Gent in his native Belgium last year for an initial €17m but now looks destined to leave. The winger is under contract at OL until 2028 - but it is unlikely that he sees out his deal if Lyon remain in the second division. Advertisement Last season the Belgium international scored 11 goals and provided six assists in all competitions for Lyon and was in terrific form during their UEFA Europa League run. Liverpool linked with €45m-rated Fofana Now Caught Offside is reporting that Fofana is likely to be one of the first to leave the Groupama Stadium this summer - with Liverpool named as a potential destination. 'Lyon are looking a fee in the region of €45–50 million for the young attacker despite their financial troubles,' the report reads. 'Liverpool have identified Fofana as a player who could add depth and quality to their wide options as Arne Slot looks to refresh the squad for the upcoming campaign. 'With Luis Diaz's future uncertain, he could be the ideal player to replace the Colombian at Anfield.'

Chelsea agree fee for Dortmund winger Gittens
Chelsea have agreed an undisclosed fee to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund as they edge closer to completing his transfer. The 20-year-old winger, who agreed a seven-year contract with Chelsea earlier in June, is now set to have a medical. Advertisement Dortmund previously rejected a £42m offer for the Englishman on 10 June with the German Bundesliga side known to be holding out for £60m. Gittens was outlined as Chelsea's primary target to replace Jadon Sancho after he returned to Manchester United following his loan spell, which cost the Blues a £5m penalty fee. Mykhailo Mudryk also remains provisionally suspended after being charged by the Football Association with violating its anti-doping rules after failing a drugs test. Gittens would be unable to play in the ongoing Club World Cup because he has appeared in it for Dortmund. He would be Chelsea's fourth summer signing, joining striker Liam Delap, midfielder Dario Essugo and defender Mamadou Sarr, with midfielder Andrey Santos also returning from his loan spell at Strasbourg. Advertisement Estevao Willian, 18, will also join Chelsea after his Club World Cup campaign with Palmeiras. Chelsea will next target a versatile forward with Brighton's Joao Pedro among those on the list. Brighton rejected two bids from Premier League clubs for the Brazil international, with Newcastle one of those believed to be interested. Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike and West Ham's Mohammed Kudus are other forwards admired by Chelsea, while they have not ruled out signing an additional defender.
