Milan agreement gives Liberali to Catanzaro for 50 per cent of fee
Milan have agreed the sale of youth team and Italy Under-19 talent Mattia Liberali to Catanzaro, keeping a 50 per cent cut of the sell-on fee. The versatile attacking midfielder only turned 18 in April, but is already a regular for the Italy Under-19 side with 10 caps, scoring four goals. A product of the Milan youth academy, he was supposed to step into the Under-23 team this season, but their relegation to Serie D made that inadvisable.

Scamacca marks return to Atalanta action with big goal
Amid the Ademola Lookman controversy, there is at least some good news for Atalanta, as Gianluca Scamacca scored in a 2-1 friendly win over RB Leipzig, a year after his devastating knee injury. La Dea are distracted right now by the news Lookman handed in a formal transfer request, trying to push through his move to Inter. Meanwhile, his teammates were in action last night with a 2-1 friendly victory over RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena. Loic Openda had opened the scoring early on, but Scamacca came off the bench at half-time and scored a well-taken individual goal on Daniel Maldini's assist. Youth player Lorenzo Bernasconi sealed the late winner on the volley. Scamacca joy at full recovery BERLIN, GERMANY – JUNE 29: Gianluca Scamacca of Italy, looks dejected after the team's elimination from the tournament following the UEFA EURO 2024 round of 16 match between Switzerland and Italy at Olympiastadion on June 29, 2024 in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by) It was a big moment for Scamacca, who this time a year ago suffered a devastating anterior cruciate ligament injury in his knee that kept him out for over six months. Just as he made his comeback for five minutes in February against Torino, the former West Ham United striker then sustained another serious injury, this time to his thigh. That was the only game of his entire 2024-25 campaign, so this is going to be a fresh start for the 26-year-old. 'It has been a truly complicated year for me, staying away from the pitch, my teammates, and the daily life of a football player,' he told 'It was not easy, but it is in the past now. The worst is behind me, and I am ready to look forward. I can say that I learned a lot from this experience, both as a player and a person.'

Roma targets include Echeverri, Nene, Fabio Silva and Nusa
Roma are still seeking an attacking wide man, with options including Claudio Echeverri of Manchester City, Dorgeles Nene, Fabio Silva, Julio Enciso and Antonio Nusa. The Giallorossi have already invested heavily this summer to revamp the squad in the vision of new coach Gian Piero Gasperini. According to the Corriere dello Sport, the former Atalanta tactician is pressuring director of sport Frederic Massara to find him a player in one particular role. That is a wide forward who can take men on and allow him to adapt fully to the 3-4-2-1 formation. Echeverri top of Roma wish list ATLANTA, GEORGIA – JUNE 22: Claudio Echeverri #30 of Manchester City celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group G match between Manchester City FC and Al Ain FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on June 22, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) The first choice would seem to be Echeverri, who is available on loan from Manchester City and reportedly turned down a move to Girona. The two clubs could negotiate an option to buy along with a counter-option. Other candidates include Red Bull Salzburg winger Dorgeles Nene, a 22-year-old Mali international who had already been linked with Bologna this summer. SALZBURG, AUSTRIA – OCTOBER 23: Dorgeles Nene of FC Salzburg during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD3 match between FC Salzburg and GNK Dinamo at Stadion Salzburg on October 23, 2024 in Salzburg, Austria. (Photo by) With 15 goals and nine assists last season, he could be available on loan. More expensive alternatives are Enciso of Brighton and Hove Albion, RB Leipzig talent Nusa, and versatile Fabio Silva. While Fabio Silva could not be released on loan, his price tag could be as little as €15m, considering his contract with Wolves expires at the end of the season.
