MANCHESTER (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Manchester United have set a price of 35 million euros for the sale of André Onana. The former Inter goalkeeper, according to “Daily Mail”, however, seems increasingly likely – also for an economic question – to remain at Old Trafford.

Monaco likes the Cameroonian, but it is difficult for the French to pay such a high sum for the 29-year-old goalkeeper, who cost United 55 million from Inter two years ago. Onana, among other things, is also appreciated by Amorim, therefore, if a suitable offer does not arrive he will remain in Manchester.

MANCHESTER (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Manchester City are ready to say goodbye to Jack Grealish after three years. The English winger was bought from Aston Villa for 115 million and now the Citizens could let him go for less than half that, 45 million euros.

The player would no longer be part of Guardiola’s plans, so much so that the CFG management would have now entered into the perspective of this significant economic loss. Grealish, after an impressive season in the year of City’s Treble, in which he made 50 appearances and collected 16 goals and assists, in the two following seasons had a performance well below expectations. Last year, for example, also due to some injuries, only 20 appearances in the Premier League, one goal and one assist.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Tottenham, Newcastle and Napoli, champions of Italy, are monitoring the situation. In addition to Aston Villa, of course.

ROME (ITALPRESS) – At 37, Angel Di Maria is starting over in his Argentina and, above all, in his Rosario Central. The former Juventus player, in fact, started in the youth teams and then, 20 years ago, among the professionals wearing the jersey of the yellow and blue club.

“Returning to play at Rosario Central was exactly what I wanted. It’s something very beautiful, that I’ve dreamed of for a long time”, said the Argentine, visibly moved during the re-presentation press conference. “Today I was training and I couldn’t believe I was here: I’ve wanted to end my career here at Central for a long time. But I’m not thinking about retirement now, I’m thinking about playing. We’ll see about the rest later”, added Di Maria.

PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – A new chapter in the dispute between Kylian Mbappé and PSG. As reported by L’Equipe, the Real Madrid striker has withdrawn the complaint filed on May 16, which had led the Paris prosecutor’s office to open an investigation against unknown persons for ‘moral harassment’.

As reported by the French newspaper, the striker and his entourage intend to concentrate exclusively on sporting issues. However, the legal action initiated against PSG at the labour court to recover 55 million euros in salaries and bonuses that have not been paid remains standing, reports L’Equipe. On Wednesday 9 July at 9 pm, Mbappé will challenge his old team on the occasion of the semi-final of the Club World Cup.

RABAT (MOROCO) (ITALPRESS) – Ecuador views Morocco’s autonomy initiative as “the basis for resolving the regional dispute” over Western Sahara. The statement was made today in Rabat by Ecuador’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility, Gabriela Sommerfeld, following a meeting with Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita.

In remarks to the press, Sommerfeld reaffirmed that Quito, aligning itself with the position of the majority of United Nations member states, supports Morocco’s efforts to reach a “political, realistic, pragmatic, lasting, and mutually acceptable” solution to the Western Sahara issue, within the framework of UN-led negotiations.

Ecuador’s stance confirms a clear alignment with Morocco’s position and follows a decision made on October 22, 2024, when Quito withdrew its recognition of the so-called “SADR” and cut all ties with the entity.

The explicit support of a South American country like Ecuador further strengthens the international legitimacy of the autonomy proposal presented by Rabat in 2007—an initiative the UN Security Council has described as a “serious and credible” basis for a negotiated resolution to a conflict that has persisted for decades.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta‘s health authorities have raised concerns over the growing availability of nicotine pouches, a new and unregulated product that is rapidly gaining popularity, particularly among young people.

The Superintendence of Public Health, citing the World Health Organisation, described the pouches as “highly addictive, acutely toxic, and a potential gateway to tobacco use.”

The packaging and marketing – featuring bright colours, appealing flavours, and trendy designs – are seen as deliberately targeting children and adolescents.

These pouches, which do not contain tobacco but deliver nicotine directly through the gums, bypass current tobacco regulations. Unlike snus, a banned smokeless tobacco product, nicotine pouches are legal by default, as they fall outside existing laws.
France and the Netherlands have already banned the sale of nicotine pouches, citing similar public health concerns.

The issue will be addressed in Malta’s upcoming Tobacco Control Strategy 2025–2030, which is yet to be announced.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta is facing a growing public health crisis, with obesity contributing directly to seven deaths in 2024 alone, according to the National Death Registry. Health Minister Jo Etienne Abela confirmed the figures in response to a parliamentary question, highlighting a broader national concern.

The Mediterranean nation continues to record the highest male obesity rate in Europe. A recent World Health Organisation (WHO) report revealed that 75% of Maltese men are overweight, the highest rate across 52 European countries. Women fare only slightly better, with 60% also classified as overweight. Official data shows that 45% of 11-year-olds in Malta are overweight or obese, with boys most affected. Among five-year-olds, 34% of boys and 32.2% of girls fall into the same category.

Experts warn that obesity is a major contributor to a host of life-threatening conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. It also leads to chronic joint problems and strains Malta’s healthcare system far beyond the immediate deaths recorded.

To combat the epidemic, health professionals urge lifestyle changes focusing on regular exercise and balanced diets. They recommend 30–60 minutes of physical activity, three to five times a week, along with diets rich in unprocessed foods and low in refined sugars and fats.

Tackling obesity, specialists insist, requires a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach involving doctors, dietitians, and fitness experts—not just medical treatment alone.

MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Rodrigo De Paul could land in MLS. As Marca reports, Inter Miami, the team that Leo Messi plays for, is ready to speed up operations to secure the Atletico Madrid midfielder’s registration. The renewal hypothesis for the Argentine, whose contract with the colchoneros expires in 2026, is therefore moving away. De Paul has played 187 games and scored 14 goals with Atletico Madrid.

BAGHDAD (IRAQ) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Kamel Ghribi, President of GKSD and Vice President of GSD (San Donato Group), recently concluded an institutional mission to Iraq and Syria, which included a series of meetings with the highest political and health authorities of both countries. The purpose of the visit was to strengthen bilateral cooperation and promote concrete projects in the sectors of healthcare, infrastructure, energy, and education.

The mission in Iraq

At the invitation of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani, President Ghribi visited several areas of the country, including Baghdad, Karbala, and Najaf, participating in high-level institutional meetings and promoting the development of synergies between GSD – GKSD and the Iraqi public system.
In Karbala, Ghribi met with the Minister of Health, Saleh Al-Hasnawi, to discuss expanding healthcare collaborations and hospital infrastructure. He also visited the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussein and held an important meeting with the city’s Governor, Nassif Jassem Al-Khattabi, focusing on local development and attracting Italian investment.
In Najaf, Ghribi visited the university hospital affiliated with the GSD Hospital Group, where he engaged with Italian and Iraqi doctors working on the ground. He then met with Governor Youssef Kanawi to explore future investment opportunities. The Governor was officially invited to visit Italy to learn more about the GSD – GKSD model and assess its applicability in Iraq.

The visit to Syria

On his way back to Italy, Ghribi made an institutional visit to Damascus, where he met with: Asaad Hassan Al-Shaybani, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Musab Al-Nazzal, Minister of Health; and Mohammed al-Bashir, Minister of Energy.
During the meetings, discussions focused on the potential contribution of GSD – GKSD to Syria’s post-war reconstruction, particularly in the areas of healthcare, energy, education, environmental technologies, and infrastructure. President Ghribi offered the Group’s support in sharing technical expertise, project planning capabilities, and sustainable development models within a framework of international cooperation.

A vision for Mediterranean Cooperation

“There are now real opportunities for Italian businesses in Iraq and Syria, also driven by the remarkable wave of goodwill toward Italy and the Italian government led by Giorgia Meloni,” stated Kamel Ghribi, President of GKSD and Vice President of GSD. “In both countries, I encountered an exceptional willingness to engage in dialogue, a strong desire for growth, and a sincere openness to the Italian experience. Now is the time to build bridges—not only economic ones, but also cultural and social—between our country and two nations eager for a brighter future.”
“The mission confirms the role of GSD – GKSD as a player in economic diplomacy between Italy and the Middle East, capable of combining entrepreneurial vision with social responsibility,” a press note stated. “The Group’s experience in Iraq and the start of dialogue with Syria represent a pioneering model for many other Italian companies, demonstrating how fruitful cooperation based on shared values and concrete goals can be”.

ROME (ITALPRESS) – More sirens from Saudi Arabia for Lionel Messi. Already courted in the summer of 2023 by the Saudi League upon the expiration of his contract with PSG, the 38-year-old Argentine star, who will be released by Inter Miami in December, would be in the sights of Al-Ahli led on the bench by the German Matthias Jaissle, winner of the Asian Champions League.

The managers of the Saudi sports club in Jeddah, according to what ‘L’Equipe‘ reveals, have been working for weeks to convince the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner to play in the ‘City of Sports King Abdullah’ stadium, with Saudi Arabia itself pushing to have him as a sort of testimonial in view of the 2034 World World Cup. Inter Miami, for its part, would like to keep Messi after his first two years in MLS but the story has all the characteristics to become a new summer market torment.
