Liverpool have reportedly entered negotiations with Juventus for Federico Chiesa, a forward who has been deemed surplus at the club under new manager Thiago Motta. Despite high expectations, Chiesa has failed to make an impact at Juventus, with only 32 goals in 131 appearances and no Serie A titles. With injuries and inconsistency being cited as factors, Juventus are willing to let him go for a significant loss on the initial transfer fee of £45million. Liverpool are now leading the race for Chiesa, who is said to have already given the green light for a move, as they look to make their first signing under manager Arne Slot after 86 days at the club.
Denmark has proposed a new tax on livestock farmers to reduce the country's greenhouse gas emissions. The tax, which is set to go into effect in 2030, will require farmers to pay for the methane emitted by their cows, sheep, and pigs. This move comes as the country aims to slash its GHG emissions by 70% by 2030. However, the proposal includes an income tax deduction and investment in green initiatives to support the industry's transition. The methane produced by ruminant animals such as cows and sheep through their digestive process is a potent greenhouse gas, contributing to global warming.
In the run-up to the upcoming European elections, a growing backlash against green policies has erupted across Europe.

This could have major implications for the implementation of the EU's Green Deal and its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, as parties on the right and far right are capitalizing on public dissatisfaction to push back against costly environmental reforms.
