Napoli tell Livorno: Dinis Rodrigues is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

One of our own: Achille Leone joins the Livorno first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Achille Leone is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Marcello Baldi steps up from the Livorno academy

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Diego Peralta trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Gregorio Luperini still has not settled
A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Livorno would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.
