ROME (ITALPRESS) – “I will no longer comment on these rumors.” Jurgen Klopp, on the sidelines of an award ceremony in Wiesbaden, cuts short the rumors that have seen him linked to the Giallorossi bench.

But the former Liverpool coach, now responsible for football at Red Bull, is not the only one to deny a possible move to the capital. Nuno Espirito Santo, current coach of Nottingham Forest, has also been indicated as a possible candidate: “Do you really think I will waste time on these things? It seems like you read so much around, but my only goal is to prepare the team, look for the best solutions and take care of the details for the players. Nothing else.”

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “I still think I am the right man for this club, even more than before. I know that the patience of the fans next season will be short but I assure you that I will not resign or leave. I know what it means to coach United and what this team needs. If they then tell me that it is better to change, I will leave. If the club and the fans believe that I am not the right person, the next day I will pack my bags. But I will not be the one to give up, I believe in my work and I will not change anything in the way I do things”.

So far, the thoughts of Ruben Amorim after the umpteenth disappointment of his adventure at Manchester United, perhaps the biggest, namely the defeat in the Europa League final against Tottenham.

The “Sun”, however, is not certain of the confirmation of the Portuguese coach, who arrived on the Red Devils bench with the team at -7 from the Champions League and finished at -27. According to the English tabloid in the event of a divorce, among the bookmakers’ favorites would be Massimiliano Allegri, formerly of Milan and Juventus, esteemed by a club legend such as Sir Alex Ferguson.

Among the possible heirs is also Josè Mourinho and for him, currently at Fenerbahce, it would be a return to Old Trafford. Also on the list is the Ipswich manager, Kieran McKenna, the Crystal Palace manager, Oliver Glasner, winner of the FA Cup in the final against Man City, the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, former Tottenham and current United States coach, and the former England coach, Gareth Southgate.

LA VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – The Freedom Flotilla Coalition has accused Israeli forces of targeting one of its vessels, the Conscience, in two separate aerial attacks near Maltese territorial waters earlier this month. The vessel, part of a humanitarian mission to Gaza, suffered significant damage and an on-board fire, according to a report released by Maltese authorities.

The Marine Casualty Damage Report confirms that the Conscience sustained two aerial strikes on its upper deck, causing a fire but ruling out the possibility of an internal explosion. The vessel was carrying no weapons or flammable materials, further supporting the coalition’s claim that the fire resulted from external military action.

The incident occurred as the Conscience was en route to Malta to collect humanitarian supplies and 44 passengers who were to join the mission to Gaza. The attacks also stranded crew members at sea, all of whom have since been safely repatriated.

Despite the Maltese report, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition expressed frustration over the lack of international response and transparency. “Maltese and EU authorities have still not allowed an independent, international forensic investigation of the Conscience”, the coalition stated. “This refusal to ensure full transparency and accountability is deeply troubling”.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is preparing a new mission using a yacht named Madleen, dedicated to establishing a sea corridor to Gaza outside Israeli control. “The Madleen will sail soon to challenge Israel’s criminal blockade”, said the coalition.

LA VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Robert Aquilina, a leading anti-corruption activist and representative of the Falcone Foundation in Malta, traveled to Palermo to take part in a solemn commemoration marking the anniversary of the assassination of Italian anti-mafia judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife Francesca Morvillo, and the police officers who were escorting them on May 23, 1992.

Aquilina drew a poignant parallel between the assassination of Judge Falcone and the murder of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. “Giovanni Falcone was brutally killed using the same infamous method by which Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered in our country,” Aquilina stated, referencing the use of a car bomb in both attacks. He emphasized the moral responsibility borne by all citizens to carry forward the fight for justice and truth. “Each one of us has a moral duty to continue the fight for which these heroes gave their lives,” Aquilina said, underscoring the enduring legacy of both Falcone and Caruana Galizia in the fight against organized crime and corruption.

LA VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – In 2023, a record 6,716 young people left Malta to settle abroad, averaging nearly 19 departures per day, according to figures presented in Parliament by Finance Minister Clyde Caruana. The data, spanning the years 2019 to 2023, highlights 2023 as having the highest youth emigration numbers in half a decade.

While the number of incoming young residents to Malta was significantly higher—17,645 in total—the steady rise in Maltese youth choosing to emigrate has sparked growing concern about the country’s ability to retain its younger generations.

Recent surveys help shed light on the motivations behind this growing youth exodus. An EY Malta poll found that 75% of young Maltese respondents expressed a desire to live abroad. Common reasons cited included limited opportunities for work and education, escalating housing costs, and environmental degradation.

RIYADH (SAUDI ARABIA) (ITALPRESS) – A deal expiring June, an extraordinary transfer window just around the corner and a Club World Cup that is tempting everyone. The future of Cristiano Ronaldo, under contract with Al Nassr until 30 June 2025, remains an unknown, but the new Fifa tournament may anticipate the market manoeuvres of the big international clubs.

As AS reports, there are currently no signs of a possible renewal of CR7 with the Saudi club. For this reason, the clubs participating in the Club World Cup, scheduled to take place in the United States from 14 June to 13 July, have begun to set their sights on the Portuguese champion, who at 40 is the top scorer of the Saudi Professional League and an immovable holder of his national team.

Help comes from FIFA, which has set up an extraordinary transfer window at from 1 to 10 June. There are many teams interested in the Portuguese and the list also includes another Saudi club, Al Hilal. There is no shortage of other exotic solutions. The Spanish newspaper mentions the Brazilians Botafogo, Flamengo, Palmeiras and Fluminense, the Mexicans Pachuca and Rayados. Also monitoring Ronaldo’s situation on are Wydad Casablanca (Morocco), Esperance (Tunisia) and Al Ahly (Egypt). Many options and one concrete possibility: Cristiano Ronaldo could be among the protagonists of the new FIFA tournament.

MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – After the farewell of Luka Modric, who Xabi Alonso would have liked to keep in the squad, Real Madrid is looking for a midfielder with the characteristics of the Croatian champion, the right man to make the best of a team that between Tchouameni, Camavinga and Valverde, boasts a midfield department with great pace and power.

According to the website of “As”, the first name on the list of possible reinforcements for the post-Modric is Rodri, the ‘brain’ of Spain and Manchester City, who in recent days returned to the field after 8 months of stoppage due to a ruptured cruciate ligament.

The doubt within the ‘Casablanca’ is precisely about the player’s physical condition: will it go back to how it once was? Twenty-eight years old, under contract with the Citizens until 2027, according to As he would be happy to wear the Real jersey-
