The reasons behind Ghisolfi's possible farewell
After a long transition period, Roma could lose two key figures from its current management.
Lawyer Lorenzo Vitali, interim CEO after Souloukou's exit, and Florent Ghisolfi, the club's sporting director, are both said to be at risk.

Ghisolfi's position is particularly delicate.
According to Il Messaggero, the Friedkin ownership did not appreciate the way the negotiations for the renewal of Mile Svilar were handled, which was resolved only thanks to the intervention of Claudio Ranieri.
Furthermore, the failed transfer of Angeliño to Al Hilal, which seemed to be finalized, has also earned him a lot of criticism.
Faced with these uncertainties, Frederic Massara has been linked as Ghisolfi's replacement – Massara previously worked at Trigoria during the Pallotta era and recently concluded a short-lived chapter at Stade Rennais.

Man City's Club World Cup windfall could lead to further spending - but Liverpool shouldn't care
This summer's Club World Cup has, predictably, not been much of a hit in the UK. There is Premier League representation at the tournament in Chelsea and Manchester City, but truth be told, the tournament has failed to capture the imagination of supporters. The Premier League - won by Liverpool last season, by the way - and Champions League continue to be the two elite competitions for English clubs. Advertisement Perhaps fans are suffering from football fatigue, or perhaps it's because of the kickoff times, but whichever way you look at it — this has not been the tournament that Gianni Infantino was clearly hoping it would be. Even the manager of one of the best teams in the world, Pep Guardiola, admitted that the winner will likely be forgotten fairly quickly. READ MORE: Rio Ferdinand's Premier League prediction says everything about Arne Slot's Liverpool READ MORE: Liverpool chairman reveals how close Florian Wirtz transfer came to collapsing - 'There was a point' 'Well, now we're here, we want to do well. I don't know," Guardiola said when asked how invested he is in winning the Club World Cup. 'Maybe after two or three days at the end of the tournament it'll be forgotten.' Advertisement The tournament's main appeal, clearly, is the lucrative prize money on offer, with a total of $1 billion on offer. City has already made a whopping $51 million, comprised mainly of a substantial appearance fee, as well as $2 million for each group-stage win, over Wydad, Al Ain, and Juventus. Those wins secured City's place in the last 16 of the competition, and qualification for the last 16 was enough to secure another $7.5 million in prize money. If Guardiola's men go on to win the competition, the club will bank another $32.5 million, taking the club's winnings to more than $80 million. Advertisement That is all well and good from a financial perspective, but the tournament is far from ideal preparation for the 2025-26 Premier League season. City is coming off the back of its worst season in almost a decade, and storming around dodgy astroturf fields in sweltering heat is unlikely to get the players in prime shape to reclaim their crown from Liverpool. Meanwhile, Liverpool's players are deep into their summer vacations as Mohamed Salah and Co enjoy some rest and relaxation ahead of their title defense. Mohamed Salah doesn't seem too fussed about missing out on the Club World Cup -Credit:X/@MoSalah Liverpool's pre-season gets under way on July 7 — six weeks on from the title parade — and that means that City's players could still be in Club World Cup action when the Reds play their first pre-season game. Advertisement The semi-finals of the Club World Cup take place on July 8 and July 9, with the final kicking off at 8pm BST on July 13 — five hours after Liverpool faces Preston in its pre-season opener at Deepdale. So, regardless of the lucrative sums that City is pulling in, there is no chance that Liverpool would choose to swap positions with its biggest rival right now.

Norris tops final practice for F1 Canadian GP ahead of Piastri
Lando Norris of the McLaren F1 Team drives during the final practice for the Formula One Austrian Grand Prix. Luca Barsali/LiveMedia-IPA/ZUMA Press Wire/dpa Lando Norris led an one-two for McLaren ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri in the final practice for the Formula One Austrian Grand Prix on Saturday. It was a repetition of Friday's second practice result, with the Red Bull of Max Verstappen also completing the top three. Advertisement Ahead of qualifying later, Norris clocked 1 minute 04.324 seconds, 0.118s faster than championship leader Piastri. Verstappen was 0.210s off the pace. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were fourth and fifth for Ferrari, respectively, followed by the Mercedes cars of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. Piastri tops the drivers' standings 22 points ahead of Norris. Tension between the two title contenders peaked at the Canadian Grand Prix two weeks ago when they collided with three laps left to the end of the race, with Norris braking too late and running into the back of the championship leader. Advertisement While Piastri finished the race in fourth, Norris couldn't cross the finish line and missed some crucial points. Verstappen, meanwhile, was second in Montreal and will try to be back on the top of the podium at Red Bull's home race in Austria, but needs to watch out as he's one penalty point away from a race ban.
