From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz has not given up hope of playing in Serie A in the future.
The Paraguay striker came close to joining the Lazio only for the deal to fall through on the final day of the window.
Despite also being linked with Fulham, the 29-year-old Santa Cruz remained at City.
Santa Cruz, who is on international duty with Paraguay this week, said to Rome's Corriere dello Sport: "I had hoped to arrive in Rome, that was my dream.
"Unfortunately, the deal fell through.
"There has been a lot of talk of my arrival to Italy and perhaps next time it will materialise."
Lazio themselves have not ruled out making another attempt to acquire Santa Cruz in January.
"We will see what happens in the next few months," said Santa Cruz.
"I don't like to look too far away and I don't know what Lazio's intentions are.
"I have received many offers but I had hoped to play in Rome.
"I have happy in England but Italian football fascinates me and I would love to have an experience in Serie A."
