The 32-year-old German center back flaunted his shirtless body while strolling down the beach with his partner in anticipation of the arrival of their second child.

Larissa and Joel strolled down the sands as she proudly flaunted her developing belly in a plunging black bikini with a glittering gold overlay.

This summer, I want Liverpool to sign one player, and he might be enough to win Arne Slot the championship

Mattia Zaccagni’s late winner came from an assist from midfielder Riccardo Calafiori as the team trailed 1-0 to extra time in the second half.

Heartbreak for Luka Modric and company, but another chance for the Bologna defender connected to Liverpool to come under the limelight.

Fabrizio Romano’s numbers on X (previously Twitter) show that the 22-year-old performed admirably for his country.In 30 Serie A games, the center-half contributed seven goals, helping Bologna qualify for the Champions League in 2024–2025.According to Sacha Tavolieri’s most recent update, that might be challenging.

The Italian defender is more and more likely to leave the Emilia-Romagna region for Turin’s somewhat richer pastures.

But has the agreement been made, sealed, and delivered? Not quite yet.

We believe that this is the perfect time for Richard Hughes to squeeze into any remaining space with his fluent Italian!

Calafiori appears to be a talent that might define a football generation, maybe less so than Leny Yoro.

Liverpool should seize the chance if there’s any chance he can accomplish that at Anfield.

Liverpool needs defenders who are available.You can appreciate the significance of Liverpool finding stability at the back by looking back to the 2016–17 season, which was one year after Leicester won the title despite only giving up 36 goals.

Ever since that season, all of the champion teams have kept their total number of goals conceded under 35.

Liverpool’s 2019–20 championship victory? It arrived with just 33 goals given up. 2023–2024: Manchester City’s? It arrived with just 34 goals given up.

Not that we don’t think we could use some reinforcements up front, but if we let up 12 goals more than Arsenal or 7 more than City, we’re not going to win any titles.

Calafiori might be able to help with it. All we need is a back four that doesn’t continually switch up, along with a solid center-back partnership.

The former FC Basel player appears to be able to fill a requirement there based on his availability in 2023–2024.
