Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed on Thursday that a deal to sign 18-year-old centre-back Giovanni Leoni from Parma has been agreed between the clubs.

According to Italian sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Parma goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is set to retire from professional football.

Former Inter Milan, Parma and Roma forward Adriano was once earning £80,000 per week in the prime of his career, but these days is without a club and living among gun-wielding gangs in Rio.
