MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Nico Paz will join Real Madrid immediately in January. This is according to rumors from the Argentine press and elsewhere, but according to the Madrid newspaper “Marca,” this is not the case.

The White Club wants to bring back their star player, who exploded from Como, but doesn’t feel the need to bring him back in January. More importantly, both the Como club and the player himself don’t intend to part ways during the season.

Real Madrid aren’t in a rush; they can bring him back thanks to the €10 million buy-back clause, but next summer, not in the winter transfer window.

It’s been a day of denials at Real Madrid, and Marca has once again revealed the club’s position regarding rumors of a rift between part of the squad and coach Xabi Alonso. “El mister es el jefe” is Real Madrid’s position, as leaked by the Madrid newspaper’s website, meaning the coach is in charge, he is the boss and has every right to manage every situation as he sees fit, being able to count on the club’s unconditional trust.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta’s annual inflation rate held at 2.7% in October 2025, with new data from the National Statistics Office confirming food costs as the strongest source of price pressures. The Food Index contributed 0.80 percentage points to the overall rate, remaining the largest driver of inflation. Restaurant services and take-aways registered a 6.1% annual rise—more than double the 2.9% increase in grocery prices—pushing overall food inflation to 3.7%. The 12-month moving average rose to 2.1%, continuing an upward trend from the 1.2% low seen in late 2024, though far below the 7.5% peak of October 2023. Other Goods and Services posted the highest annual inflation at 5.0%, fuelled by an 18.8% jump in jewellery and similar items, contributing 0.36 percentage points.

Transport and Communication added 0.37 percentage points, while Housing contributed 0.22 points amid rising maintenance service costs. The all-items index reached 123.17, up 0.7% from September. Clothing and Footwear exerted the only downward pull on inflation, with prices falling 1.2% due mainly to cheaper garments. Utility prices remained frozen for another month, with Water, Electricity, Gas and Fuels recording no annual change. Communication costs dipped 0.4%. The NSO noted a widening gap within food categories, with services continuing to outpace goods. Smaller positive contributions came from Personal Care and Health, Recreation and Culture, Furnishings and Household Equipment, and Beverages and Tobacco.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – The Malta Police Force has arrested 76 people during a series of nationwide immigration inspections carried out over recent days, part of what government officials describe as a coordinated campaign to curb irregular migration. In a statement, police said the operations targeted public transport routes and work-related vehicles across Malta and Gozo. Checks were conducted on buses, private cars, and company vans, leading to the detention of individuals from Syria, Nigeria, Gambia, Ghana, Ethiopia, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia.

Authorities said the people arrested were found to be living or working in the country without the necessary permits. They have been transferred to a detention centre pending repatriation. The inspections were supported by Detention Services Agency personnel, Transport Malta, JobsPlus, and Identità officials. The latest sweep follows a string of similar high-visibility enforcement actions under Police Commissioner Angelo Gafà and Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri. The intensified checks are considered as part of an ongoing effort to reinforce border control and ensure compliance with labour and residency regulations.

The strategy has drawn criticism from human rights groups and opposition politicians, who argue that such raids disproportionately affect vulnerable migrants while leaving employers and landlords who facilitate irregular work largely untouched. Malta’s campaign unfolds amid broader claims of success on migration management, including reduced arrivals through cooperation with Libyan authorities. At the same time, official data shows the country continues to rely heavily on foreign labour, issuing more than 33,000 first-time work permits last year.

RABAT (MOROCCO) – The Moroccan government has released a circular outlining the implementation details of the new “Morocco Offshoring Offer”, one of the key pillars of the national strategy to accelerate the country’s digital and industrial transformation. The plan aims to create 130,000 direct and stable jobs, including 50,000 by 2026, and seeks to generate 40 billion dirhams in sector revenue.

The circular, sent to cabinet members, developers of Integrated Industrial Platforms (P2I Offshoring) and executives of public enterprises, formalises a package of tax incentives, social measures and governance tools designed to strengthen Morocco’s attractiveness in the outsourced services market.

The new framework aligns with the Digital Morocco 2030 strategy and aims to support the establishment of international technology operators, foster the development of “Made in Morocco” digital services, and promote higher value-added activities. One of the key reforms is the expansion of a one-stop shop across all P2I Offshoring zones, which will serve as the main interface for investors, offering fully digitalised procedures and shorter processing times. Operators located outside these platforms will have access to the same incentive scheme through a centralised national platform.

The circular identifies five priority segments: ITO, CRM, BPO, ESO and KPO, covering the technological, operational, and engineering services with the strongest growth potential. On the fiscal front, three main mechanisms are introduced: Income tax: a 20% cap on taxable gross income, reduced to 10% for secondary P2Is (Fès, Oujda, Tétouan), applicable from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2030; Corporate tax: a state contribution covering up to 56% of the amount due and Employment and training incentives: 17% of taxable gross income for each new permanent hire and 3.5% for training, granted over five years.

P2I Offshoring zones will be subject to stricter requirements: dedicated spaces, advanced connectivity, flexible real-estate offerings, and shared services (security, maintenance, employee transport, financial and postal services). Platform managers will have five days to assess applications, while the Offshoring Technical Committee will have twenty-five days to review project files.

Governance will be overseen by a national Technical Committee responsible for selecting eligible platforms, validating projects and monitoring commitments. With this new offer, Morocco aims to strengthen its position in an international market shaped by the return of nearshoring, the drive for resilience, and the growth of technology-intensive services.

MANCHESTER (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – A surreal incident occurred during the Monday Night Premier League match between Manchester United and Everton: in the 13th minute, the Toffees were reduced to ten men after Idrissa Gueye was sent off for “violent conduct.”

The player slapped teammate Michael Keane, prompting two other Everton players, Pickford and Ndiaye, to intervene to separate the two. This incident is not unheard of in the Premier League: in April 2005, during Newcastle’s match against Aston Villa, the two Magpies players Bowyer and Dier came to blows and were both sent off.

MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – A compensation claim of over 4.5 billion euros. As anticipated by Florentino Pérez during Real Madrid’s assembly meeting, the club and the Super League have initiated legal action against UEFA, demanding a massive indemnity. According to As, A22 — the company tasked with carrying the project forward — has also sent a letter to UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin, urging him to comply with the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union and to approve the Super League.

Already in December of last year, A22 had requested official recognition of the Unify League (the new name of the competition), and now, bolstered by the late-October ruling of the Provincial Court of Madrid — which rejected the appeal filed by UEFA, La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation, once again siding with the Super League and deeming that UEFA may be guilty of “abuse of dominant position in European football competitions” — the company has renewed its efforts.

In the letter, A22 notes that it attempted in vain to reach an agreement with Nyon.

“Despite our substantial concessions, no agreement has been reached. Consequently, we reiterate our request for official recognition by UEFA of our proposal as soon as possible and, in any case, no later than 8 weeks from the date of this letter.” The letter details the negotiations and accuses UEFA of stalling to delay the launch of the Super League. Hence the request for compensation, though without giving up on the creation of the competition.

MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – A heavy absence for Atlético Madrid, who will host Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday. Marcos Llorente, who had asked to be substituted after just a few minutes during the match against Getafe, underwent medical tests that revealed a thigh injury. The recovery time is uncertain; he will definitely not be available against Real Oviedo this weekend, and it is unlikely he will recover in time for the match against Barcelona on December 2.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – The Minister for Gozo and Planning, Clint Camilleri, called for deeper regional involvement in Euro-Mediterranean policy during a session of the Euro-Med Summit of Regions held in Barcelona. The meeting focused on the Joint Declaration on a New Pact for the Mediterranean, which is set to be presented to Euro-Med ministers on 28 November before proceeding to the European Commission.

According to a statement from the Ministry for Gozo, the proposed pact emphasises the need for stronger participation by regions and cities in shaping priorities, implementing initiatives and assessing outcomes across the Mediterranean.

Addressing regional representatives, Camilleri said that “at a time when global uncertainty is growing, we must strengthen cooperation between Europe and the Mediterranean.” He described the pact as an opportunity to put forward “a clear and ambitious strategic vision” capable of delivering tangible progress in political dialogue, education, skills development, social inclusion, trade and economic growth.

The declaration urges the European Commission and relevant EU institutions to reinforce the role of regional and local authorities, establish a territory-based monitoring and evaluation committee, create a technical assistance fund to support decentralised cooperation, and relay the joint declaration to the Euro-Med Summit of Ministers.

If adopted, the pact is expected to serve as a framework guiding future collaborative efforts between Mediterranean partners and the European Union.

I was ashamed and embarrassed when I saw him again,” Guardiola apologized on the eve of the Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen. “I apologized a second later to the cameraman. I am who I am, even after 1,000 games, I’m not a perfect person, I make big mistakes. One thing is certain: I defend my team and my club.”
