Anthony Taylor retires from refereeing after 20 years

Al-Hilal confirmed the signing of Summerville and used the announcement to taunt Roma. The Saudi club posted a video with the text 'All roads lead to...' followed by 'Riyadh'—a pointed jab at the Serie A side after winning the race for the player. Al-Hilal paid West Ham approximately €70 million in fixed fees and bonuses, and handed Summerville a contract worth €15 million per season. The financial package proved decisive in keeping Roma out of the running, despite their readiness to bring the Dutch forward to the capital. Gasperini's side must now pursue alternative targets to strengthen their wing options. D'Amico is working on securing an outside option for the head coach, with Nusa among the primary candidates. Roma are also monitoring Leao as a potential addition to their attack.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, Italy's national team goalkeeper and captain, married Alessia Elefante on Friday, 24 July in Locorotondo, Bari. The religious ceremony took place at 16:30 in the Church of San Giorgio Martire in the historic centre of the Valle d'Itria village. The reception was held at Pettolecchia La Residenza, an exclusive luxury estate located between Savelletri and Fasano in Puglia. Puglia continues to be a preferred destination for high-profile events among Italian celebrities and public figures. The choice of venue reflects the region's reputation for hosting prestigious celebrations. Donnarumma's wedding adds to the growing list of notable ceremonies staged across the area. The article provides details on the pricing structure of Pettolecchia La Residenza, covering accommodation suites and the wedding menu, though specific figures are referenced in the original headline context.

Roma legend Roberto Pruzzo has called for the club to make a high-profile acquisition in the transfer market, while radio pundit Orsi has criticised the window's progress so far. Speaking on Radio Radio, Pruzzo said: "Anyone can sign players for 50 million. Fans expect a coup like Malen. Now I expect the club to raise its level, without taking part in auctions that so far haven't made it look good. The delay on the market risks undermining Gasperini's work." Orsi added that while head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has not yet complained publicly, the lack of arrivals represents a disappointment. "Gasp isn't banging his fist on the table, even though nobody has arrived yet," Orsi said on the same station. "With D'Amico they haven't failed yet, but certainly this situation wasn't expected. A few other targets could have been acquired. At the moment the market is disappointing." The comments reflect growing frustration among Roma's fanbase and observers about the club's sluggish activity in what is a critical window under new manager Gasperini, appointed in 2025.
