Weah targeted by multiple clubs in France and England
The Bianconeri had hoped to sell him and Samuel Mbangula to Nottingham Forest, but both players turned down the move and negotiations were abandoned.

It is believed they had valued Weah at €15m, so anyone who is willing to meet that figure and can agree personal terms with the USMNT midfielder should get the all-clear.
Clubs lining up for Weah opportunity

There had already been reports that Olympique Marseille were preparing a few different formulas to make the deal work.
Now Footmercato in France suggest several more clubs are ready to step up in the chase for Weah this summer.
They include Ligue 1 side AS Monaco, who just signed Paul Pogba as a free agent after he terminated his contract with Juventus by mutual consent.
The others are in the Premier League, with Everton and newly-promoted Leeds United, but considering he turned down Nottingham Forest, it might be difficult to convince him.
Tottenham Hotspur had also been linked, but seem to have taken a step back from pursuing this transfer.

Goglichidze possible Leoni replacement at Parma
Parma are hoping to resist the pressure from Inter and Milan to keep hold of Giovanni Leoni, but in case he does leave this summer, Saba Goglichidze is emerging as a potential replacement. Leoni is only 18 years old, but has already made such a big impression in his debut Serie A season that the Ducali are ready to hold out for €40m before letting him go. Just in case any club, and the most likely is Inter, manages to coax him away from the Stadio Tardini, Parma are looking around for suitable heirs.

He is not expected to remain at Empoli following their relegation to Serie B, so is just looking for his next destination. There has also been interest from abroad, including the Saudi Pro League, but Parma are keeping an eye on him regardless.

Deadline SET for Liverpool forward deal
Chiesa wanted by Napoli One of those touted for a sale has been Federico Chiesa. The 27-year-old appears to be surplus to requirements following a poor first season on Merseyside. He has been left out of Liverpool's preseason tour as he and his representatives attempt to secure a move away. Several teams in Italy - most notably Atalanta and AC Milan - are reported to be interested in the winger. And now it's emerged that Napoli have not gone away - despite reports that they would be seeking a deal for Dan Ndoye of Bologna instead. Chiesa - along with Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling - remain on Napoli's radar as a potential Plan B in case a deal for Ndoye cannot be done. July 30 the deadline for Chiesa deal And Antonio Conte's side are seeking to wrap up this transfer quickly. A report in Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Conte wants his squad complete by July 30 for his team's preseason training camp at Castel di Sangro. 'Chiesa hasn't been called up by Liverpool for their tour of Asia, and his time in England already seems to be coming to an end. Napoli could offer him the chance to redeem himself, provided the winger reduces his salary demands,' a report reads. Chiesa is making around £120k per week on a contract until 2028 - and Italian sides have previously been put off by those demands. © IMAGO - Arne Slot Federico Chiesa Liverpool 2024-25 Back in January, plenty of interest in Chiesa materialised from Serie A when it became clear that he was homesick. Despite the attentions of the aforementioned teams - as well as Roma and Inter - Chiesa stayed at Anfield. In all he played only SIX times in the Premier League - to no great effect - and barely impressed in his other outings either. If Liverpool can make back the £12.5m or so they paid to Juventus last September - and a resolution can be found over his wages - then expect to see Chiesa leave as soon as this week.

Liverpool Remain Keen On Signing This Newcastle United Centre-Forward: What Will He Bring To Anfield?
In a recent post on X, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano mentioned that Liverpool remain keen on signing Newcastle United centre-forward Alexander Isak. It has been revealed that the Reds are still showing interest in the Swedish striker and could move in for him if they sell Luis Diaz this summer. Isak's Impressive Form In English Football Isak had a productive campaign at the Tyneside club after he put in a string of impressive performances as the focal point of their attack. The Sweden international made 42 appearances for Newcastle last season, scoring 27 times and securing six assists on all fronts. The 25-year-old led the line well in the opponent's half based on his average of 3.1 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 43.2% of his attempts on target. Isak was even accurate when distributing possession in the final third, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 75.3% in the English top tier (stats via Isak's current contract at the Tyneside club will run out in the summer of 2028. Hence, Liverpool would have no choice but to meet Newcastle's demands for their prized asset. BRIGHTON, ENGLAND – MAY 04: Alexander Isak of Newcastle United in action during the Premier League match between Brighton & Hove Albion FC and Newcastle United FC at Amex Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Brighton, England. (Photo by) What Will Isak Bring To Liverpool? Isak excels at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the eye to create the odd chance for his teammates in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball. The Swedish talent can even use his strong 1.92m frame to win a few aerial duels for his team. He has proven his worth as a consistent performer in the Premier League and is good enough to make an immediate impact at Liverpool if they can find a way to get a deal done for him this summer. Isak would bring more firepower to Liverpool boss Arne Slot's defence. He has what it takes to help the Reds compete for a lot of major trophies in the coming years. At 25, Isak has his best years ahead of him which makes him a good choice for the Merseyside club to consider in this transfer window. Therefore, Liverpool would be wise to go all out to bring the Sweden international on board ahead of the new campaign.
