MANCHESTER (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Manchester United is pressing on Davide Frattesi. The former Sassuolo midfielder could leave Inter, for this reason – according to what was reported by CaughtOffside – the Red Devils have taken the first steps with the Nerazzurri club to understand the feasibility of the operation.

The 1999-born player, whose price tag is around 35 million, is also followed by Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Roma. It remains to be seen whether the player will be ready to move to England or anyway abroad, in the meantime the 25-year-old is reflecting. The alternatives for United could be Joao Palhinha of Bayern Munich and Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace.

BARCELONA (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “As of today, Barcelona could not register Nico Williams”. Javier Tebas sends a message to the Blaugrana, busy negotiating to secure the Athletic Bilbao striker. According to the president of La Liga, Barça at this moment do not fall within the limits set by financial fair play necessary to list the player for next season, a bit like what happened at the beginning of the year with Dani Olmo before the intervention of the Higher Sports Council.

Tebas‘ words therefore risk complicating the deal, given that Williams – precisely in light of what happened in recent months – would like to insert a clause that would allow him to be released if he is not registered. Condition on which Barça does not compromise: seeing a player leave for free after having paid the 62 million euros of the clause is not an option contemplated by the Catalans’ management.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – More than 30 Maltese organisations have jointly called on the government to reject the legalisation of euthanasia, urging a stronger commitment to palliative care instead. The appeal comes during an ongoing public consultation on voluntary assisted euthanasia.

The groups warn that legalising such measures would pose serious ethical and social risks, especially for society’s most vulnerable. The appeal has drawn support from a broad alliance of religious, academic, medical, and civil society groups, all calling for a reaffirmation of life, dignity, and holistic care.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Prime Minister Robert Abela has reiterated that Malta will officially recognise the State of Palestine, but only after a United Nations conference on the Israel-Palestine conflict takes place—a conference that has since been postponed.

In May, Abela pledged Malta’s formal recognition of Palestine during a UN meeting initially scheduled for 20 June. However, that conference was postponed after Israel launched a military strike on Iran, and no recognition has yet occurred. Speaking in Parliament, Abela updated MPs on recent EU-level meetings in Strasbourg and Brussels. While noting the increasing tensions between Israel and Iran and the ongoing suffering in Gaza, he made no mention of Malta’s previously stated intention to recognise Palestine.

Opposition Leader Bernard Grech challenged Abela in his response, asking why Malta has yet to act. “Malta needs to be a strong voice for human rights and justice. It shouldn’t just follow the lead—especially in Gaza and the Middle East,” Grech said. Abela later confirmed that Malta remains committed to recognition, but will wait for the rescheduled UN event before proceeding. Malta is one of four European nations that, in March 2024, declared readiness to recognise Palestinian statehood. Of those, only Malta has yet to follow through. Currently, Malta supports the Palestinian right to statehood, but only in reference to a future state.

ATLANTA (USA) (ITALPRESS) – A photo with Chicharito Hernandez for an unforgettable evening even if without a happy ending. Francisco Mendoza, a Monterrey fan, entered the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta together with his wife Paola and daughters Megan and Erika to watch the match that was later lost against Borussia Dortmund and was identified as the two millionth spectator of the Club World Cup. For him and his family, this gave the chance to watch the warm-up of the two teams from the sidelines and a photo with Javier Hernandez, the all-time World Cup goalscorer for the Mexican national team.

For FIFA, it was also an opportunity to take stock: while waiting for the quarterfinals, the attendance has exceeded 2 million with an average of 35 thousand spectators per match. The puck at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles for Psg-Atletico Madrid (80,619) but a lot of attendance especially for Real Madrid’s games: in the ranking of games with the most spectators, the whites are present in four of the first seven, including yesterday’s match with Juve in Miami which recorded 62,149 attendances.

MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “Italian Super Cup? The dates are those that have already communicated, so December 18-19 the semi-finals and 22 the final. We still don’t know where, whether in Riyadh or Jeddah. Considering that in Arabia they have the two seasons, I imagine, but the choice is up to the Saudis, that it could still be Riyadh. I would hope it is Jeddah, but it is not in our power to choose the venue for the match”. The president of the Lega Serie A, Ezio Simonelli, said this regarding the 2025 Italian Super Cup, trophy that will be played in Saudi Arabia in December.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta is currently hosting a pivotal informal meeting of the Ministers of the Council of Europe, marking the 15th anniversary of the Lanzarote Convention, which focuses on preventing child sexual exploitation and abuse.

Minister for Social Policy and Children’s Rights, Michael Falzon, opened the event by underlining society’s duty to protect children. He highlighted Malta’s efforts, including the introduction of mandatory reporting, stricter legal timeframes, and harsher penalties for abusers.

The two-day meeting gathers 50 international delegations and over 130 participants to assess progress, address legal gaps, and explore new threats—such as those arising from artificial intelligence.

Council of Europe Secretary General Alain Berset revealed that one in five women and one in seven men were victims of sexual violence as children. He stressed the need for not just laws, but real implementation and prevention efforts. “Children are not just victims—they are agents of change,” Berset said.

Berset also flagged alarming trends: 91% of child abuse material in 2024 was media-shared, including AI-generated content. He called for renewed commitment to awareness and prevention.

European Commissioner Glenn Micallef, in a virtual address, reported 1.3 million abuse cases in EU countries in 2023. “Every second, abuse images circulate online. This is a grave violation of rights,” he said, urging stronger enforcement and education.

Claudia Cuschieri and Alexia Vella from Malta’s Ministry emphasized the role of empowerment alongside protection, ensuring children can both be safe and safeguard themselves.

The meeting represents the first of its kind to focus exclusively on policies surrounding child protection and will shape future European collaboration on this critical issue.
