Tottenham, Vicario heading toward Inter. Spurs target Trafford and Verbruggen

Tottenham, Vicario heading toward Inter. Spurs target Trafford and Verbruggen

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Guglielmo Vicario could return to Italy. Confirmation comes from London, on the Tottenham side, as Spurs are looking for a replacement for the goalkeeper, who could move to Inter in the summer.

According to The Sun, one of the options leads to James Trafford, currently sidelined at Manchester City due to competition from Gigio Donnarumma. The English goalkeeper is also being monitored by Aston Villa.

Meanwhile, Tottenham’s new head coach, Roberto De Zerbi, will most likely have to do without his fellow countryman, who is not yet at full fitness following surgery a few weeks ago.

In addition to Trafford, the London club is also tracking Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, whom De Zerbi previously coached at Brighton.

Sahara, Netherlands support autonomy under moroccan sovereignty

RABAT (MOROCCO) (ITALPRESS) – “The Netherlands considers genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty to be the most viable solution” to the Sahara dispute, Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen stated this, as reported by the MAP news agency, during a press conference held yesterday in Rabat following his meeting with his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita.

Berendsen also reaffirmed the Netherlands’ support for UN Security Council Resolution 2797, as well as for the efforts of the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy, Staffan de Mistura, to “facilitate and advance negotiations based on the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco, with a view to reaching a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution.”

The Foreign Minister finally emphasized that “the Netherlands will act in accordance with this position, including diplomatically and economically, in compliance with international law.”

Ancelotti close to renewing his contract with Brazil until 2030

RIO DE JANEIRO (BRAZIL) (ITALPRESS) – Only the signature is missing, but that’s on the way. ESPN Brazil is clear, reporting that an agreement has already been reached between the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti for a new contract expiring in 2030.

This rumor, if confirmed, would exclude the former AC Milan and Real Madrid coach from the many possibilities for the Azzurri national team following the split between the FIGC and Gennaro Gattuso.

Details have already been finalized; Ancelotti has also reportedly received a pay raise for his staff, while he, ESPN emphasizes, will retain his current salary of €10 million per year, the highest ever in the history of the Brazilian Football Confederation. At the World Cup, Brazil will face Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland in Group C.

Real Madrid, Camavinga’s future uncertain. Liverpool considering a move

PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – The mistake that led to the defeat against Mallorca has added uncertainty to the future of Eduardo Camavinga at Real Madrid.

Given the alternatives in midfield and performances that have not always been convincing, the 23-year-old Frenchman – according to L’Equipe – is not considered untouchable, and this summer Los Blancos would be willing to listen to potential offers.

Among the clubs most interested is Liverpool, who have tracked Camavinga in the past, with his valuation reportedly around €50 million.

Malta draws global stars as Bublé announces July concert

Malta draws global stars as Bublé announces July concert

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta is becoming increasingly renowned as a destination for international artists, with another major name set to take the stage this summer.

Multi-Grammy award-winning singer Michael Bublé will perform live on July 8, 2026, at Ta’ Qali, in what is expected to be one of the year’s most anticipated concerts on the island.

Known for his distinctive voice and polished live shows, Bublé is expected to deliver a full-scale production featuring some of his best-loved songs, including “Haven’t Met You Yet,” “Feeling Good,” and “Home.”

Organisers say the event will offer fans an “extraordinary night” as the Canadian star brings his internationally acclaimed tour to Maltese audiences for a single summer performance.

A phased ticketing system will be introduced to manage high demand, with fans required to register in advance for early access. The approach aims to ensure fair distribution of tickets amid expectations of a rapid sell-out.

Officials have urged fans to secure their place early, warning that availability will be limited.

More details, including ticketing information, are available through the official event platform.

The concert marks another step in Malta’s efforts to position itself as a hub for world-class live entertainment, continuing to attract globally recognised performers to its shores.

Stripped of the captaincy by Ten Hag and relegated to the sidelines by Amorim, Maguire has returned to prominence since mid-January, with the arrival of Carrick as manager.

Malta inflation below eurozone average amid price rise

Malta inflation below eurozone average amid price rise

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Inflation across the euro area rose to 2.5% in March, up from 1.9% in February, according to the latest Eurostat estimates, highlighting renewed price pressures across Europe.

The increase was largely driven by a sharp rebound in energy prices, which surged from -3.1% to 4.9%, pushing overall inflation higher.

In contrast, other components showed signs of easing. Services inflation edged down to 3.2%, while prices for food, drink and tobacco fell to 2.4%.

Malta, however, recorded a more moderate inflation rate of 2.3% in March, placing it below the eurozone average.

Compared with other European countries, Malta ranks among those with the lowest inflation, holding the fifth-lowest rate overall.

Its inflation level remains below that of countries such as Croatia and Lithuania, where rates exceed 4%, but slightly above France and Italy, where inflation is closer to or below 2%.

The data also indicate that Malta has avoided the sharp energy-driven spikes seen elsewhere in Europe, helping to keep overall price growth relatively stable.

Despite rising inflation across the euro area, Malta’s more contained price pressures suggest a comparatively moderate impact on consumers.

The figures underscore Malta’s relatively resilient position, even as broader European markets face renewed inflationary strain.

Mourinho “I want to stay at Benfica next season”

Mourinho “I want to stay at Benfica next season”

LISBON (PORTUGAL) (ITALPRESS) – The draw against Casa Pia has probably extinguished the last hopes of the title (“even if we win all the other games, we don’t depend on ourselves”). The most realistic goal is second place, but in any case, José Mourinho doesn’t see himself managing any other club next season than Benfica. Asked about rumors that his agent Jorge Mendes wants to take him elsewhere, the Special One was clear: “If something happened during the match, I don’t know. Nothing happened before the match. Jorge Mendes is my agent, but I’m the one making the decisions. And my decision is that I want to stay at Benfica.” Something in the squad definitely needs to change. “Right now, I’d like to stop playing some players. But there are higher values ​​at stake: they are the club’s assets, even if I didn’t want to continue with some of them. From a sporting perspective, the possible goal is second place, but it also depends on the others,” added Mou.
