Man Utd make fresh transfer move for £44.5m star 'in the last few hours'
Manchester United have stepped up their pursuit Moise Kean and are plotting a possible bid for the Fiorentina forward this summer, according to reports in Italy. Kean has managed to get his career back on track over the last 12 months at Fiorentina having endured difficult spells with both Everton and Juventus. The 25-year-old racked up 19 goals and three assists across an exceptional debut season for Florence-based outfit in the Italian top flight – and was subsequently named in the Serie A Team of the Season. However, speculation has been mounting that Kean could be set to move on from Fiorentina, with the allure of the Premier League representing a 'real danger' for the club, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The report suggests United have 'reappeared' for Kean 'in the last few hours' and Old Trafford bosses are monitoring the situation with increasing interest while 'setting their sights' on a potential deal.

A release clause in Kean's contract at Fiorentina means he will be available for a fee of €52million (£44.5m) between July 1-15, which has put the Red Devils on red alert. Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Qadsiah have also been credited with a strong interest in Kean and could rival United for the ex-Everton attacker over the coming weeks and months. Kean has not ruled out the possibility that he could stay on in Florence, though, and Fiorentina have made it clear they do not want to lose their star forward in private discussions with the Italy international. It's claimed Kean is currently on vacation and is in no hurry to make any sudden decisions over his future. Kean's current deal, which he signed upon arrival at Fiorentina, runs through to June 2029. United have set out their stall this summer on the back of a wretched 2024/25 campaign, in which club missed out on Champions League qualification and finished with their worst-ever points total in the Premier League. Determined to strengthen Ruben Amorim's misfiring attack, the Red Devils wrapped up a £62.5million deal with Wolves to make Matheus Cunha their first signing of the transfer window. Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo has also been heavily linked with a move to United, with the Cameroon international ready to turn down Tottenham in favour of a switch to the Theatre of Dreams. 'It's a bit new for me, I would say, but that can be the life of a footballer. You need to accept it,' Mbeumo told Sky Sports when asked about interest from United and Spurs. Meanwhile, former United defender Rio Ferdinand has encouraged the club to explore a possible deal for wantaway Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Asked who he would like to see join United this summer, Ferdinand said on his Rio Ferdinand Presents YouTube channel: 'No.9, they already know who I want. The comments know, the people know who I want, who I would go and get: Osimhen! 'It looks like he's turned down Al-Hilal… he must be waiting for Manchester United. 'I don't know if Manchester United are going to come. That's the problem.' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Polimoda director Massimiliano Giornetti says the new generation of designers shows greater resilience
Since February 2021, Massimiliano Giornetti has led Polimoda, the Florence-based fashion school where he once earned his degree in collaboration with the London College of Fashion. He returned to the school in 2019 as head of fashion design. Alongside his academic career, Giornetti built a distinguished track record in luxury fashion. He directed Salvatore Ferragamo 's creative vision for 16 years, first in menswear, then in womenswear and accessories. He also served as design director at the Chinese luxury house Shanghai Tang. Giornetti spoke with about how young designers and their aspirations have evolved in recent years. How has creativity evolved in recent years? Massimiliano Giornetti: Creativity today is increasingly free and independent. The new generation of designers is moving away from the standardization that once dominated the industry. They are more drawn to niche concepts and independent thinking. FNW: What explains this new approach? MG: Young designers clearly reject overconsumption and the accelerated pace that has driven the fashion and luxury markets in recent years. Fashion now leans toward extreme luxury, and very few consumers can afford products from major brands. Our students align more closely with emerging consumer behaviors that favor slower consumption and a more mindful approach to spending. You can even see it in how they dress. They choose vintage and independent designs over logos. They increasingly question the constant turnover of creative directors at luxury houses, watching brands celebrate designers one season and dismiss them the next. FNW: What do emerging designers want today? MG: Emerging designers define success by their ability to express their point of view to their community, not by wealth. They show little interest in pursuing creative director roles compared to previous generations. Instead, they focus on building their own brands with unique content and a personal voice. They create independent projects that connect with smaller, more engaged communities that value their creative vision. FNW: But in today's market, it is very difficult to stand out… MG: The market is challenging, but young designers have a real opportunity. The desire to express oneself through clothing runs deep in human nature. Young consumers use fashion to convey both aesthetic and ethical values. They also buy less from major houses, as those brands operate in the ultra-luxury segment with increasingly prohibitive prices. This shift creates space for new generations of designers. They have a chance to stand out. MG: Today's young designers bring incredible eclecticism and agility. They move seamlessly between two-dimensional and three-dimensional design. They approach their creative process in a highly hands-on way. This generation shows much greater resilience than mine and collaborates far more effectively than in the past.
