LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – After Scott McTominay, another Manchester United player could be moving to Napoli. The Italian champions’ interest in Kobbie Mainoo is nothing new, but the British press is increasingly suggesting the midfielder could join the Azzurri starting next January.

According to the English outlet TEAMtalk, president De Laurentiis’s club has found the right formula to convince the Red Devils: the 20-year-old’s loan signing, with the deal to be finalized in June. Napoli had already expressed interest in Mainoo this summer, but United manager Ruben Amorim opposed the move, believing he was an important asset to his team.

However, he has only made eight appearances this season, and his lack of use threatens to cost him his national team spot during the World Cup. This is why Mainoo is said to be keen on a move to Napoli. Tottenham, Newcastle and Manchester City are also said to be interested in the player, but according to sources close to the midfielder’s entourage, negotiations with Napoli are said to be quite advanced.

WOLVERHAMPTON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Less than a year after his dismissal, Gary O’Neil could be set for a return to the Wolverhampton bench. Following the departure of Vitor Pereira yesterday morning, the club — according to the BBC — has contacted the 42-year-old coach to discuss a possible comeback, although Rob Edwards, currently in charge of Middlesbrough, is also in the running. Talks with O’Neil have reportedly been positive so far, with the manager — who was sacked last December while the team was battling relegation — open to returning. The Wolves currently sit bottom of the Premier League with just two points from 10 matches.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Finance Minister Clyde Caruana has cautioned that Malta may be approaching a saturation point in tourism, urging a shift toward attracting higher-spending visitors rather than ever-increasing numbers.

Following the presentation of Budget 2026, Caruana said both government and industry must accept that there are natural limits to how many tourists the island can sustainably host.

“The sector itself will also have limitations to growth. If this country ends up attracting four million tourists, will it really afford to bring in more people?” he asked. “If the numbers continue to rise, the quality of a holiday in Malta will surely deteriorate.”

He noted that overcrowding is already evident. “In summer, you go to a beach and can hardly find a place to lay down your towel. This is why certain measures were already taken in Comino,” he said, referring to the visitor cap introduced to protect the Natura 2000 site.

Caruana argued that Malta should prioritise visitors with “deeper pockets,” warning that “it makes no sense to keep chasing quantity tourism from Europe.”

Malta welcomed a record 3.56 million tourists in 2024, up from 2.75 million in 2019. Between January and August 2025 alone, 2.68 million arrivals were registered, suggesting another record year ahead.

PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – “It’s one of the best matches you can see today, given what the two teams represent and the recent results of us and Bayern, who are a very strong team. Dembele? He’s been out injured for a long time. He’s in decent physical condition. We’ll see tomorrow if and how much he’ll play.” PSG coach Luis Enrique spoke to Sky Sport on the eve of the Champions League home match against Bayern Munich. “Our goal is to win this competition for the second year in a row. It’s a difficult feat to repeat, but we want to try,” added the Spanish coach.

MILAN (ITALPRESS) – One year after announcing the acquisition of First Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo has completed its integration with the Group’s Romanian subsidiary, Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Romania, following approval from the National Bank of Romania and registration with the Trade Registry.

From today, the two institutions will operate under a single brand — Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Romania — consolidating the bank’s presence in the country and representing a new step forward in the Intesa Sanpaolo Group’s strategy for growth and investment across Central and Eastern Europe. Paola Papanicolaou, Head of Intesa Sanpaolo’s International Banks Division, said: “The merger with First Bank is an important step in strengthening our presence in Central and Eastern Europe. It reflects Intesa Sanpaolo’s confidence in Romania’s potential and our long-term commitment to the country.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Around half of foreign workers in Malta leave the country within three years, according to a new study by the Central Bank.

The analysis shows that departures begin early — 10% leave within the first three months of employment, rising to 19% within six months and nearly one-third by the end of the first year. Only a small minority stay beyond six years.

Third-country nationals (TCNs) tend to remain longer than European Union citizens, though both groups experience high turnover. The study notes that EU nationals benefit from freedom of movement, while many TCNs use Malta as a stepping-stone to the wider European labour market.

Foreign worker inflows surged from under 10,000 in 2012 to about 42,000 in 2023, while exits also climbed sharply, peaking at 23,400 in 2024. Despite strong net migration, the study describes Malta’s foreign population as “highly transient.”

Managers were found to stay the longest, while clerical and service workers leave the soonest. Workers in health, education and administrative roles also tend to remain longer than those in hospitality and manufacturing.

The Central Bank warns that high turnover limits productivity gains, as many workers depart before their experience can benefit employers. It calls for policies that improve retention through social integration, affordable housing and clearer career pathways.

The government’s new labour migration policy — described as a “turning point” — aims to extend stays by easing permit renewals, rewarding training, and discouraging excessive staff turnover. The study concludes that success will depend on effective implementation and adaptability to evolving labour market conditions.

LONDRA (INGHILTERRA) (ITALPRESS) – Vitor Pereira has been sacked by Wolverhampton Wanderers: yesterday’s defeat against Fulham was decisive for the Portuguese manager, a resounding 3-0 that confirms Wolves’ horrendous start to the Premier League, still without a win (only two points in 10 games).

Pereira arrived at Molineux last December. While waiting for a new manager, James Collins and Richard Walker have been appointed interim managers.
