兵工厂法比奥·维埃拉自 2024 年 8 月起就被租借出去。去年 9 月，英超球队让他在波尔图俱乐部租借了一个赛季后加盟汉堡队。

两个月前，Sport Witness 报道称，德甲球队已获得 2200 万欧元的购买选择权 转播新闻 他们正在寻求阿森纳的折扣。

当月晚些时候，这位攻击型中场表示他将在本赛季结束后对自己的未来做出决定。

当时， 他说: “每个人都知道我和阿森纳还有合同。所以，让我们等到赛季结束吧。然后我们会讨论这件事，看看我们能做些什么。”

4月3日，汉堡 董事会成员埃里克·休尔 (Eric Huwer) 表示 我们将与阿森纳就购买这名25岁的球员进行谈判。这位官员还坚称葡萄牙人不是枪手长期计划的一部分。

阿森纳球员的未来充满不确定性

汉堡以第 13 名结束 2025/26 赛季 [18 teams in Bundesliga]，领先降级区8分。

图片报 报道称，德国俱乐部已经尝试讨论阿森纳拥有的球员可以继续与他们合作的不同情况。不过，他不确定下赛季自己会在哪里踢球。

“这个赛季我在这里过得很开心。我能感觉到球迷们真的很爱我。无论我留下还是离开，我都会永远感激俱乐部。他们为我做了一切。” 他说。

很明显他们不会支付 2200 万欧元的购买条款，但仍会努力留住他。这并不容易，因为还有其他俱乐部正在关注这位前波尔图球员。据《图片报》报道，如果汉堡队签下他，费用将在 7-800 万欧元左右。

另一份报纸， 伯格多夫日报，涵盖枪手老板球员的更多评论。

“几周后，我将与我的家人、经纪人和阿森纳坐下来，看看对我来说最好的选择是什么。但现在，我只是期待我的假期，简单地关闭而不去想足球。” 维埃拉解释道。

“我必须对一切保持开放的态度。让我们看看会发生什么。我感受到了球迷和俱乐部的爱。他们都爱我。”

当被特别问到他是否可以想象留在汉堡时，他补充道： “我现在还不能说。无论未来如何，我在这里都很开心，并将永远感激HSV。俱乐部为我做了一切；他们的支持令人惊叹。”

我们的看法：阿森纳必须出售

法比奥·维埃拉在酋长球场的合同将于2027年到期。因此，米克尔·阿尔特塔的球队必须在即将到来的窗口期出售他，以避免明年免费失去他。

汉堡队或其他俱乐部可以利用这一点以合理的价格签下他。

armoryFabio Vieira is on loan until August 2024. The Premier League side let him join Hamburg SV last September after a season on loan at FC Porto.

The Bundesliga side have secured a €22m purchase option and two months ago, Sport Witness broadcast news They are asking for a discount from Arsenal.

Later that month, the attacking midfielder said he would make a decision on his future after this season.

That time, He said: : “Everyone knows I still have a contract with Arsenal. So, wait until the end of the season. Then we’ll talk about it and see what we can do.”

3 April, Hamburg Board member Eric Heuer said There will be talks with Arsenal to purchase the 25-year-old player. The official also insisted that the Portuguese is not part of the Gunners’ long-term plans.

Arsenal man’s future uncertain

Hamburg finished the 2025/26 season in 13th place [18 teams in Bundesliga]Eight points clear of the relegation zone.

image The report adds that the German club have tried to discuss different scenarios in which the Arsenal-owned player could continue with them. However, he is not sure where he will play next season.

“I’m very happy here this season. I can feel that the fans really love me. Whether I stay or leave, I will always be grateful to the club. They have done everything for me.” He said.

It is clear they will not pay the €22m buyout clause but will still fight to keep him. It won’t be easy as other clubs are also keeping an eye on the former FC Porto man. If Hamburg sign him, Bild say it would be a fee of around €7-8m.

Another newspaper, burgdorfer zeitungGunners boss Cover more comments from players.

“In a few weeks, I will sit down with my family, my agents and Arsenal and see what is the best option for me. But for now, I am just looking forward to my holidays, just switching off and not thinking about football.” Vieira explained.

“I have to be open to everything. Let’s see what happens. I feel the love of the fans and the club. They all love me.”

When asked specifically if he could imagine living in Hamburg, he said: “I can’t say anything right now. Whatever the future holds, I’m very happy here and will always be grateful to HSV. The club has done everything for me; the support has been amazing.”

Our opinion: Arsenal must sell

Fabio Vieira’s contract at the Emirates expires in 2027. Therefore, Mikel Arteta’s team will have to sell him in the upcoming window to avoid losing him for free next year.

Hamburg SV or any other club can take advantage of this and sign him at a reasonable price.

兰德尔·科洛·穆阿尼预计将离开 托特纳姆热刺队 并在赛季结束后返回巴黎圣日耳曼。此后会发生什么仍然不确定，尤文图斯仍然热衷于这样做。

周日是斑马军团赛季的分水岭。输给佛罗伦萨意味着他们在意甲联赛中滑落至第六位，距离冠军联赛仅两分之差。

这对于他们在夏季转会窗口开展业务的方式发挥着至关重要的作用。 体育见证人 已经报道了他们对阿利森的兴趣，贝尔纳多·席尔瓦也是目标。

现在，这些目标可能正在消失，但对于托特纳姆热刺球员来说，情况可能不会改变。

科洛·穆阿尼热衷于

都托运动 报道称，如果尤文错过欧冠，他们对贝尔纳多·席尔瓦的转会可能就会结束。对于科洛·穆阿尼来说情况并非如此，他仍然热衷于回到都灵。

事实上，如果尤文在夏天再次召唤，他会“步行”前往这座城市。他不在乎他们是否有资格参加欧洲顶级赛事，因为他寻求常规的比赛时间和留下痕迹的机会。

科洛·穆阿尼在巴黎圣日耳曼的任期结束了。法国人不在路易斯·恩里克的计划之内，他也同意参加下赛季的欧罗巴联赛。

他仍然是尤文图斯的主要进攻目标，热刺队将在赛季末分道扬镳。

尤文可能最终要付出代价

去年夏天，热刺最终租借这名27岁球员的原因就是为了钱。尤文和巴黎圣日耳曼未能就永久合同达成协议，导致老妇人错失良机。

现在，尤文不想再重蹈覆辙，因为他们知道科洛·穆阿尼是一个容易接近的目标。尽管巴黎圣日耳曼的估值有所下降，但他们不会对贷款交易持开放态度。法国人已经花掉了两笔贷款，再花掉另一笔就没有意义了。

这就是为什么尤文最终不得不在夏天付出代价。去年夏天，由于巴黎圣日耳曼试图贷款，与巴黎圣日耳曼的谈判中断了。

巴黎圣日耳曼在上个赛季已经将他租借到俱乐部，但尤文图斯没有使用他们的选择权，这让巴黎圣日耳曼感到恼火。谈判拖了很长时间，最终谈判结束，科洛·穆阿尼被租借到了托特纳姆热刺。

蘭德爾·科洛·穆阿尼預計將在賽季結束後離開托特納姆熱刺並返回巴黎聖日耳曼。此後會發生什麼仍然不確定，尤文圖斯仍然熱衷於這樣做。

週日是斑馬軍團賽季的分水嶺。輸給佛羅倫斯意味著他們在意甲聯賽中滑落至第六位，距離冠軍聯賽僅兩分之差。

這對於他們在夏季轉會窗口開展業務的方式發揮著至關重要的作用。 體育見證人 已經報道了他們對阿利森的興趣，貝爾納多·席爾瓦也是目標。

現在，這些目標可能正在消失，但對於托特納姆熱刺球員來說，情況可能不會改變。

科洛·穆阿尼熱衷於

都托運動 報道稱，如果尤文錯過歐冠，他們對貝爾納多·席爾瓦的轉會可能就會結束。對於科洛·穆阿尼來說並非如此，他仍然熱衷於回到都靈。

事實上，如果尤文在夏天再次召喚，他會「步行」前往這座城市。他不在乎他們是否有資格參加歐洲頂級賽事，因為他尋求常規的比賽時間和留下痕跡的機會。

科洛·穆阿尼在巴黎聖日耳曼的任期結束了。法國人不在路易斯·恩里克的計劃之內，他也同意參加下個賽季的歐羅巴聯賽。

他仍然是尤文圖斯的主要進攻目標，熱刺隊將在賽季末分道揚鑣。

尤文可能最終要付出代價

去年夏天，熱刺最終租借這名27歲球員的原因就是為了錢。尤文和巴黎聖日耳曼未能就永久合約達成協議，導致老婦人錯失良機。

現在，尤文不想再重蹈覆轍，因為他們知道科洛·穆阿尼是一個容易接近的目標。儘管巴黎聖日耳曼的估值有所下降，但他們不會對貸款交易持開放態度。法國人已經花掉了兩筆貸款，再花掉另一筆就沒有意義了。

這就是為什麼尤文最終不得不在夏天付出代價。去年夏天，由於巴黎聖日耳曼試圖貸款，與巴黎聖日耳曼的談判中斷了。

巴黎聖日耳曼在上個賽季已經將他租借到俱樂部，但尤文圖斯沒有使用他們的選擇權，這讓巴黎聖日耳曼感到惱火。談判拖了很長時間，最終談判結束，科洛·穆阿尼被租借到了托特納姆熱刺。

newcastle united And Aston Villa Also on their agenda for the summer is Real Betis star Abed Ezalzouli.

Aston Villa’s interest in him is not new tried to sign it In August 2023, when the winger was at Barcelona.

The 24-year-old is on the radar of Unai Emery’s side and Newcastle United have joined the transfer race for him.

On 27 April, Game Witness Covered claims from Spain Of Liverpool as a substitute for the player.

It appears that Real Betis are aware of the growing interest and possibility of him changing club after this season.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa in the picture

game Now let’s see what could happen with Abde Ezalzouli’s future and interest from the Magpies and Villa.

Barcelona signed the Morocco international from Hercules in August 2021 and sold him to Real Betis in September 2023. The Camp Nou side earned €7.5m and retained 50% of their rights.

As part of the Vítor Roque deal, Real Betis brought an additional 30% of the rights to Abeda from Barcelona. The Catalan newspaper says the La Liga winners could lose millions as a result.

This is because the attacker is already fielding offers from the Premier League and both Newcastle United and Aston Villa are mentioned as both of these clubs are very attentive to his situation.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side appear to have refused to keep him beyond this season and have set a price tag of €40m. If he is sold at this price, Barça will receive €8 million.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa could fight for him but it won’t be easy. For his part, the Moroccan is not keen to leave Spanish football. Therefore, the Premier League pair will have to convince them to give him a chance to acquire his services.

Contracts, prices, statistics and agent information

Abed Ezalzouli has scored 14 goals and provided 13 assists in 42 appearances for Real Betis this season.

He has a contract until 2029, and according to the attacker’s value transfer marketIs €30m. This is the highest value of his career. The agency IF Football represents the former Barcelona man.

纽卡斯尔联 和 阿斯顿维拉 皇家贝蒂斯球星阿卜杜·埃扎尔佐利已列入他们今年夏天的议程。

阿斯顿维拉的兴趣并不新鲜 试图签下他 2023年8月，当时这位边锋还在巴塞罗那。

乌奈·埃梅里的球队正在关注这位 24 岁的球员，纽卡斯尔联队也加入了他们的转会追逐之中。

4月27日，体育见证人 来自西班牙的承保索赔 利物浦作为球员的一个选择。

皇家贝蒂斯似乎意识到了人们对他日益增长的兴趣以及他在本赛季后更换俱乐部的可能性。

图为纽卡斯尔联队和阿斯顿维拉队

运动 现在看看阿卜杜·埃扎尔佐利的未来以及喜鹊和维拉的兴趣会发生什么。

巴塞罗那于 2021 年 8 月从赫拉克勒斯签下这位摩洛哥国脚，并于 2023 年 9 月将他出售给皇家贝蒂斯。诺坎普球队赚取了 750 万欧元，并保留了他 50% 的权利。

作为维托·罗克交易的一部分，皇家贝蒂斯从巴塞罗那额外获得了阿布德 30% 的权利。加泰罗尼亚报纸称，这可能会导致西甲冠军球队损失数百万美元。

这是因为这名攻击手已经收到了英超联赛的报价，纽卡斯尔联队和阿斯顿维拉都得到了提及，因为这两家具乐部都非常关注他的情况。

曼努埃尔·佩莱格里尼的球队似乎已经放弃在本赛季结束后留住他，并设定了 4000 万欧元的价格。如果以这个价格出售他，巴萨将获得 800 万欧元。

纽卡斯尔联队和阿斯顿维拉可能会争夺他，但这并不容易。就摩洛哥人而言，他并不热衷于离开西班牙足球。因此，英超双雄必须说服他有机会获得他的服务。

合同、价值、统计数据和经纪人信息

阿卜杜·埃扎尔佐利本赛季为皇家贝蒂斯出场 42 场比赛，打进 14 球并贡献 13 次助攻。

他的合同到 2029 年为止，而攻击手的价值，根据 转会市场，是 3000 万欧元。这是他职业生涯的最高价值。代理机构 IF Football 代表这位前巴塞罗那球员。

liverpoolInterest in RB Leipzig star Yann Diomande has been a frequent topic of discussion this year.

In January, the winger expressed his desire to join the Reds and encouraged them to contact him.

That time, He said: : “I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a big Liverpool fan. My dad dreams of seeing me play at Anfield!”

on 13th April the 19 year old said He is pleased with the multiple reports of interest from the Reds and other clubs.

Later that month, Sport Witness Covered claims from Germany About Liverpool meeting his agent.

The Ivory Coast international scored 13 goals and provided 10 assists in 36 matches in his first season at Leipzig. His impressive performances have already attracted the interest of top clubs across Europe.

Liverpool and others shocked

football transfers The Premier League side are reportedly seriously considering signing him, along with Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

RB Leipzig are demanding €100m for Yann Diomande, while also working on renewing his contract.

The attacker has given a fresh interview to Kicker and the FT has released his comments.

When asked if he would stay at Leipzig next season, he said: “Yes.”

There is no release clause in his contract, which expires in 2030, making it more challenging for those wanting him.

Although the player has ruled out a move out in the upcoming window, his dream of a move to a bigger club in the future remains intact.

“I am under contract at Leipzig and I enjoy playing here. But after that, no one knows what will happen. Everyone has ambitions, including me. My dream is to play at the highest level.” Diomande explained.

Our opinion: Liverpool need to look for alternatives

Mohamed Salah has already confirmed his decision to leave Anfield after this season and the Reds need to sign his replacement.

Yann Diomande has been the main contender, but his latest comments rule out a summer transfer.

Therefore, Liverpool will have to look for other options to replace the outgoing Salah. they have TSG Hoffenheim star Bazoumana Toure In their target list.

利物浦今年，莱比锡红牛球星扬·迪奥曼德的兴趣一直是人们讨论的话题。

早在一月份，这位边锋就表达了加入红军的愿望，鼓励红军接近。

当时， 他说: “我想为利物浦效力。我是利物浦的铁杆球迷。我爸爸梦想看到我在安菲尔德踢球！”

4月13日， 19岁说 他对红军和其他俱乐部感兴趣的几份报道感到高兴。

当月晚些时候，《体育见证》 来自德国的承保索赔 利物浦与他的经纪人的会面。

这位科特迪瓦国脚在莱比锡的处子赛季表现出色，在 36 场比赛中打进 13 球并贡献 10 次助攻。他令人印象深刻的表现已经引起了欧洲顶级俱乐部的兴趣。

利物浦等队遭受打击

足球转会 据英超球队报道，曼联、拜仁慕尼黑和巴黎圣日耳曼正在认真考虑签下他。

莱比锡红牛队向扬·迪奥曼德索要 1 亿欧元，同时也在努力续签他的合同。

袭击者接受了 Kicker 的新采访，英国《金融时报》转达了他的评论。

当被问及下赛季是否会留在莱比锡时，他说：“是的。”

他的合同将于 2030 年到期，但没有解约金条款，这对他的追求者来说更具挑战性。

尽管这名球员已经排除了在即将到来的转会窗口退出的可能性，但他仍然保持着未来跳槽到一家大俱乐部的梦想。

“我在莱比锡签订了合同，我喜欢在这里踢球。但在那之后，没有人知道会发生什么。每个人都有雄心，包括我。我的梦想是尽可能在最高水平上踢球。” 迪奥曼德解释道。

我们的看法：利物浦需要寻找替代方案

穆罕默德·萨拉赫已经确认了他在本赛季结束后离开安菲尔德的决定，红军需要签下他的替代者。

扬·迪奥曼德一直是主要竞争者，但他最新的言论排除了夏季转会的可能性。

因此，利物浦必须寻找其他人选来替代即将离任的萨拉赫。他们有 TSG 霍芬海姆球星巴祖马纳·图雷 在他们的目标清单中。

凱爾特人在一月份未能簽下法雷斯·蓋傑米斯，事實證明這對弗羅西諾內有利。

這位邊鋒在幫助義大利俱樂部晉級乙級的過程中發揮了至關重要的作用。自二月初以來，他在聯賽中已經打進 15 球，助攻 3 次，進球 7 次。

他留在弗羅西諾內的決定讓很多人鬆了一口氣。俱樂部總經理彼得羅·多倫佐就是這樣，他對這位邊鋒拒絕凱爾特人並決定為升級而戰表示感謝。

《體育見證》報導了這些評論，義大利人透露，在一月份的某個時候，他似乎很接近轉會到格拉斯哥。

格傑米斯的地位現在已經上升，他的退出也可以在經濟上幫助弗羅西諾內。

標價上漲了一倍多

TuttoFrosinone指出，阿爾及利亞國腳將是義大利俱樂部今年夏天需要解決的「最熱門」案件之一。

簽下格傑米斯的決定被認為是一項傑作，因為他在 2024 年僅以 30 萬歐元的價格被引進。弗羅西諾內知道他們會發現很難留住這名攻擊手，只會在夏天考慮認真的報價。

他們的估值現在為 1500 萬歐元，是凱爾特人一月份願意支付的兩倍多。籃球隊出資約 600 萬歐元。

他的出售也可以為弗羅西諾內帶來「歷史性的經濟轉變」。他們最昂貴的轉會費是去年以 1000 萬歐元加盟亞特蘭大的馬爾科·布雷西亞尼尼。格傑米斯的出售將打破這項紀錄。

價值可以進一步增長

憑藉在弗羅西諾內的出色表現，格傑米斯今年在阿爾及利亞首次亮相。他應該參加世界杯，如果表現出色，他的身價還會進一步上升。

這將使他距離轉會凱爾特人或冠軍俱樂部更遠。狼隊和諾維奇城也與他聯繫在一起，但他的聲譽現在可以吸引英超俱樂部。

義大利球隊發現與其他義大利俱樂部執行初始貸款交易很容易。英格蘭俱樂部的財務實力意味著他們有能力提供永久合同，這正是弗羅西諾內最理想的情況。

然而，這越來越成為凱爾特人隊的一條受阻路線。

Juventus’ Teun Koopminers has been a shadow of himself in Turin this season of liverpool Interest has emerged as an escape route.

bianconeri paid €51m to sign the Netherlands international in 2024. This came after a successful spell at Atalanta under Gian Piero Gasperini, also becoming a reliable outlet for goals.

Things did not go according to plan at Juventus. His goal contribution has declined significantly but performances have never been good. This led to Luciano Spalletti using him in a centre-back role, which led to a slight revival at the start of the season.

He was then returned to the midfield role but still failed to meet his previous standards.

sports witness Manchester United’s interest in the midfielder was covered a few weeks ago. Galatasaray’s interest also did not go away, Juve were interested in a separation.

Now, it is Liverpool who is in the picture for him.

The team is working to find a new club

tuttosport Juventus are reportedly considering the sale of the Dutchman. He is not worth the money and it is believed that there would be no point in keeping him for much longer.

they value him €30 million, which would be enough to earn them capital gains in the summer.

It seems this message has reached the Koopminers’ contingent as well. They are exploring the market and have spoken to several Premier League clubs. This has sparked interest from Liverpool and the Reds have been ‘attracted’ to a potential deal.

The newspaper clarified that the English club had tried to sign the 28-year-old player two years ago.

With Liverpool facing competition from Roma, Gasperini is interested in a reunion. Galatasaray remain in the mix and have been keeping an eye on the player since January.

the deal will be risky

There has never been any doubt about the general competence of the Koopminers. During his time at AZ Alkmaar, he was the club captain, played in several positions and also contributed goals regularly.

At Atalanta, he could express that individual potential because of Gasperini’s man-to-man system. There has been instability in Turin and Koopmeiners’ individual ability has never shined. He performed well at centre-back as he had the ability to dictate and control play.

All of this would make a move risky for Liverpool. There are a lot of considerations to make before signing on coupeminers, which makes the deal largely avoidable.

纽卡斯尔联 很可能会在夏天签下一名门将，并且他们的名单中有一些名字。

本月早些时候，《体育见证》 来自德国的承保索赔 纽卡斯尔联队盘旋在云达不莱梅门将米奥·巴克豪斯身上。他的身价约为 1200 万欧元，被视为一笔合理的签约。

他于2018年加入德甲球队青训营，并于2021年进入一线队。

这位22岁的球员在2023/24赛季被租借到福伦丹足球俱乐部度过，并在过去两个赛季中一直是云达不莱梅的一号门将。本赛季他在 32 场比赛中取得了 5 场不失球，丢了 56 个球。

纽卡斯尔联热衷于巴克豪斯

周末，云达不莱梅主场0-2不敌多特蒙德的比赛中，他首发出场。这是他们本赛季的最后一场比赛，德国俱乐部排名第 15。

图片报 米奥·巴克豪斯凭借多次扑救避免了惨败，赢得了主场球迷的起立鼓掌。赛后，他和队友感谢球迷的支持。

当时，这位门将显得“非常情绪化，眼睛有些湿润”，《图片报》暗示他正在向云达不来梅告别。

ARD 问及他的未来，他说： “我们要和球队一起度过两三个晚上。然后我会考虑一下。”

他将与队友一起前往伊维萨岛，之后德国俱乐部必须就他的未来做出决定。

《图片报》称“纽卡斯尔联队有兴趣”，而弗莱堡队也在争夺签下他。

如果他们目前的头号球员诺阿·阿图博卢转会到其他地方，并且他们在欧罗巴联赛决赛中击败阿斯顿维拉获得欧冠资格，那么通往弗莱堡的赛道可能会变得更热。简而言之，喜鹊将面临签下巴克豪斯的竞争。

云达不莱梅官方暗示将出售

他们的经理丹尼尔·蒂乌恩（Daniel Thioune）希望留住米奥·巴克豪斯（Mio Backhaus），但如果他被出售，他也会接受。

“队内有米奥·巴克豪斯加入是很理想的。他是本赛季为数不多的亮点和胜利者之一。如果巴克豪斯决定离开，我会接受。” 他说。

云达不莱梅董事总经理克莱门斯·弗里茨表示，出售塞子对于改善财务状况至关重要。

“米奥·巴克豪斯度过了一个出色的赛季，这是没人能预料到的。我们依赖转会收入。我们必须看看接下来几周会发生什么。” 弗里茨解释道。

纽卡斯尔联等待阿斯顿维拉结果

埃迪·豪的球队希望维拉队能够在周三的欧罗巴联赛决赛中击败弗赖堡队。

这将提高纽卡斯尔联队说服米奥·巴克豪斯选择他们而不是德甲球队的机会。

转会市场 这名门将与云达不莱梅的合同到2028年到期，估价为1200万欧元。

newcastle united There is a possibility of signing a goalkeeper in the summer and there will be a few names on their list.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness Covered claims from Germany Newcastle United are targeting Werder Bremen goalkeeper Mio Backhaus. He is valued at around €12m and is seen as a reasonable signing.

He joined the Bundesliga team’s academy in 2018 and earned a place in their first team in 2021.

The 22-year-old spent the 2023/24 season on loan at FC Volendam and has been Werder Bremen’s No. 1 over the past two seasons. They have five clean sheets and have conceded 56 goals in 32 games this season.

Newcastle United keen on Backhaus

At the weekend, the stopper started in Werder Bremen’s 2-0 defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund. It was his last match of the season as the German club finished in 15th place.

image Mio Backhaus received a standing ovation from the home supporters for avoiding a heavy defeat with several saves. After the match, he and his teammates thanked the fans for their support.

At the time, the goalkeeper appeared ‘remarkably emotional, his eyes slightly moist’ and Bild suggested he was saying goodbye to Werder Bremen.

ARD asked about his future and he said: “We’re spending two or three nights away with the team. Then I’ll think about it.”

He will join his teammates on the trip to Ibiza, after which the German club will have to make a decision on his future.

Bild say ‘Newcastle United are interested’ while SC Freiburg are also in the race to sign him.

If their current No. 1, Noah Atubolu, moves elsewhere and they qualify for the Champions League by beating Aston Villa in the Europa League final, the track towards Freiburg could heat up even more. In short, the Magpies will face competition to sign Backhaus.

Werder Bremen officials hint at sale

Their manager, Daniel Thiouane, wishes to retain Mio Backhaus, but would accept it if he was sold.

“It would be desirable to keep Mio Backhaus in the team. He was one of the few bright spots and winners this season. If Backhaus decides to leave, I will accept it.” He said.

Werder Bremen managing director Clemens Fritz suggests the sale of Stomper is necessary for financial recovery.

“Mio Backhaus has had a fantastic season, which no one could have predicted. We are dependent on transfer revenue. We will have to see what happens in the next few weeks,” Fritz explained.

Newcastle United awaits Aston Villa result

Eddie Howe’s side will be hoping the Villans beat SC Freiburg in the Europa League final on Wednesday.

This would improve Newcastle United’s chances of convincing Mio Backhaus to select him for their Bundesliga squad.

near barcelona chelseaOn their short list for the summer is Joao Pedro.

On 6 May, Game Witness Covered claims from Spain Barcelona’s interest in the 24-year-old.

Last Friday, Barcelona’s sporting director there was a deco meeting With the Chelsea star’s agent in London.

The same source said he could see the striker in the FA Cup final, which the Blues lost to Manchester City on Saturday.

A day later, the west London club confirmed the appointment of Xabi Alonso as their new manager.

Barcelona lured the Chelsea man

Monday edition of As Report on Deco’s meeting with the Brazil international’s agent in London last Thursday.

During this meeting, Barcelona learned that a move to the Camp Nou attracted João Pedro, who was interested in joining them. The second message was that the operation is almost impossible due to the high price, and clubs do not want to sell World Cup winners.

Both Deco and La Liga winners will now have to wait, especially due to the appointment of Xabi Alonso. He has to decide whether to stay on the person in front or not.

If the new manager decides to retain Pedro, the operation will become more complicated for Barcelona. On the other hand, if Alonso were to approve a move, Chelsea could sell him for a higher price.

The manager returned to management after leaving Real Madrid in January. His performance with Los Blancos was disappointing, where he also struggled with player issues.

To avoid Real Madrid’s nightmare at Chelsea, AS believe the coach could let Pedro go as he does not want to have disgruntled players in his team. Alonso is stunned by the strength of the players at Madrid and wants everyone to move in the same direction.

Julian Alvarez is Barcelona’s main target but Atletico Madrid are refusing to sell him to a direct rival. Therefore, the focus appears to be on the former Watford man, but prying him away from Chelsea will not be easy.

During this time, winwin Report Barcelona and Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Chelsea youngster Ibrahim Rabbaz. His agent informed him that scouts from two La Liga giants were keeping an eye on the 17-year-old.

game When he turns 18 in January 2027, both Barça and Real Madrid could relay this and make contact.

巴塞罗那有 切尔西若昂·佩德罗 (João Pedro) 已进入夏季候选名单。

德科开会了

同一消息人士表示，他可以在足总杯决赛中观看这位前锋，周六蓝军输给了曼城。

一天后，西伦敦俱乐部确认任命哈维·阿隆索为他们的新主教练。

周一版 作为 报道了德科上周四在伦敦与巴西国脚经纪人的会面。

在这次会面中，巴塞罗那发现诺坎普的转会吸引了若昂·佩德罗，他热衷于加入他们。另一个消息是，由于价格高昂，操作几乎不可能，而且世俱杯冠军球队也不想出售。

德科和西甲冠军现在都必须等待，特别是因为哈维·阿隆索的任命。他必须做出是否保留这位主唱的决定。

如果新主帅决定留用佩德罗，那么巴萨的操作将会变得更加复杂。另一方面，如果阿隆索批准转会，切尔西可以高价出售他。

自从一月份离开皇马以来，这位主帅重新回到了管理层。他在皇马队度过了一段令人失望的时光，在那里他还与球员问题达成了协议。

为了避免皇马对阵切尔西的噩梦，AS相信教练可以让佩德罗离开，因为他不想让心怀不满的球员出现在他的球队中。阿隆索在马德里被球员的力量所刺痛，他希望每个人都朝着同一个方向努力。

胡利安·阿尔瓦雷斯是巴塞罗那的主要目标，但马德里竞技拒绝将他出售给直接竞争对手。因此，焦点似乎集中在这位前沃特福德球员身上，但把他从切尔西带走并不容易。

转会市场 这位巴西人的身价为 7500 万欧元，这是他职业生涯的最高价。

Tottenham Hotspur They need just one point from their last two Premier League matches to avoid relegation.

Spurs are now 17th, two points ahead of 18th-placed West Ham United, with a game in hand and a much better goal difference.

While the immediate focus is on staying in the top flight, Tottenham are also working on potential deals for the summer.

The Italian is considering a move to Serie A, after appointing Roberto De Zerbi as his new manager in March.

Tottenham manager sets his sights on the pair

tuttosport Now the north London club’s manager is reported to have set his sights on Juventus’ Pierre Kalulu and Fiorentina’s Nicolo Fagioli.

On March 30, Khel Witness broadcast news Several clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, are planning to sign Kalulu.

Manchester United have also taken notice of the 25-year-old central defender and have already made an approach. However, the Turin club closed the exit door.

Spurs are now keeping an eye on the France international and have sent a scout to watch him live in Juve’s 2-0 defeat to Fiorentina on Sunday. The official also saw La Viola’s midfielder Fagioli. Kalulu played the full 90 minutes while Fagioli remained on the field for 64 minutes.

Roberto De Zerbi is ‘keen on both players’ as he looks to improve Spurs’ squad to help them return to Europe. The English club are expected to make a move for the 25-year-old Italy international in the coming days.

sports witness recently Covered claims from Italy Without mentioning any figures, Fiorentina needs a ‘unique’ proposal. TuttoSport now report that La Viola would not consider less than €30-40m for the 25-year-old midfielder.

Our opinion: Tottenham could use Paratischi’s help

Earlier this year, Fabio Paratici ended his second stint at Spurs to join Fiorentina as their sporting director.

Tottenham Hotspur could seek the help of their former director in an attempt to sign Nicolo Fagioli.

His contract expires in 2028 and he is valued at €16m transfer market. The same outlet now values ​​Pierre Kalulu, who has a contract until 2029 €32m.

托特纳姆热刺队 只需要在最近两场英超比赛中拿到一分就可以避免降级。

热刺目前排名第17位，领先第18位的西汉姆联两分，少赛一场且净胜球优势明显。

虽然当前的焦点是留在顶级联赛，但托特纳姆热刺也在为夏季的潜在交易进行研究。

在三月份任命罗伯托·德泽尔比为新任主教练后，意大利人正在考虑意甲联赛。

托特纳姆热刺主教练将目光投向了二人组

都灵体育报 现在有报道称，北伦敦俱乐部的主教练已经将目光投向了尤文图斯的皮埃尔·卡卢鲁和佛罗伦萨的尼科洛·法吉奥利。

3月30日，体育见证人 转播新闻 包括托特纳姆热刺在内的几家具乐部都在考虑签下卡卢卢。

曼联也关注了这位25岁的中卫，并已经做出了接触。然而，都灵俱乐部关闭了退出大门。

热刺现在正在关注这位法国国脚，并派出了一名球探现场观看了周日尤文0-2输给佛罗伦萨的比赛。这位官员还观看了紫百合队中场球员法吉奥利的比赛。卡卢卢打满了90分钟，而法吉奥利则上场了64分钟。

罗伯托·德泽尔比“对这两名球员都很感兴趣”，因为他希望改善热刺的阵容，帮助他们重返欧洲。预计英格兰俱乐部将在未来几天内引进这位 25 岁的意大利国脚。

最近的体育见证人 来自意大利的承保索赔 佛罗伦萨需要一份“不可抗拒的”报价，但没有提及具体数字。据《都灵体育报》报道，紫百合不会考虑以低于 30-4000 万欧元的价格购买这位 25 岁的中场球员。

我们的看法：托特纳姆热刺可以寻求帕拉蒂奇的帮助

今年早些时候，法比奥·帕拉蒂奇结束了在热刺的第二个任期，加盟佛罗伦萨担任体育总监。

托特纳姆热刺队可以寻求前任总监的帮助来尝试签下尼科洛·法吉奥利。

他的合同将于 2028 年到期，他的估值为 1600 万欧元 转会市场。该媒体现在对 Pierre Kalulu 的估值为：合同期至 2029 年 3200万欧元。

Starting Monday night, one of the best rivalries in Major League Baseball returns. The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres will face off at Petco Park for a three-game set. The teams have dueled for first place in the National League West for most of the year. Both teams won on Sunday, giving the Dodgers a half-game lead over San Diego. One of them will leave the series alone atop the NL West, but who has the edge?

on the mound

• Monday: Michael King (SD) vs. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (LAD)
• Tuesday: Griffin Canning (SD) vs. Emmett Sheehan (LAD)
• Wednesday: Randy Vasquez (SD) vs. Shohei Ohtani (LAD)

Monday’s game proves to be the most viable pitchers duel of the three, with King and Yamamoto facing off in a battle of the aces. The former has boasted a 2.63 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in his first nine starts. King has been a reliable player for San Diego. Yamamoto, on the other hand, has looked a little rough lately (which is hard to say for a pitcher with a 3.60 ERA). He has scored 11 runs in his last three matches. Yamamoto and the Dodgers will be hoping to bounce back in tonight’s series opener.

Canning and Sheehan both had breakout 2025 campaigns, posting respective ERAs of 3.77 (16 starts) and 2.82 (12 starts). He has not been that good this year with scores of 10.64 and 4.54. Canning’s sample size is very small across three sports. His debut was very good (1 ER, 5.0 IP) but he has been bad since then (12 ER, 6.0 IP). To win the second game, they will have to survive Los Angeles’ strong lineup.

Ohtani has been the best starting pitcher in all of MLB. He boasts a 0.82 ERA in 44 innings. This means he will not be in the lineup for Los Angeles. Vasquez hasn’t been as good, but still has a career-best 2.68 ERA. San Diego hopes to have the two face off in a pitchers duel. Vasquez will have to hold his own against the Dodgers’ lineup if the Friars are to win.

starting lineup

Both the lineups have struggled to score runs recently. Both lineups broke into one Big Way this weekend. The Dodgers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 31–3, while San Diego defeated the Seattle Mariners 17–7. This was a huge success for two clubs who have been weak offensively over the past few weeks.

This should (hopefully) turn out to be a high-scoring series in the pitcher-friendly environment of Petco Park. The Padres won the last series at Petco Park, although the Friars were defeated by Los Angeles, 10–9.

player to watch

Recently there have been some heated clashes between the two sides. They will hope to continue that streak of success in this week’s series against their division rivals. Here are some things to look for on each side:

Gavin Sheets

Sheets has had a remarkable stretch with the Padres. He hit 19 home runs in 2025 and found his stride after a mostly average season with the Chicago White Sox. He leads the Friars with nine homers (four of which have come in his last five games!), and is on pace for 35 home runs. Although it is high, he could easily complete 20 passes for the first time in his young career.

miguel andujar

Andujar was signed at the end of the offseason for just $3 million, which will serve as platoon and valuable bench depth at the designated hitter spot. That’s too much. The Padres’ best hitter is slashing .291/.313/.480 entering Monday’s game. He has four RBI in his last seven games and has provided several big opportunities for San Diego.

shohei ohtani

Just because he’s only hitting in two out of three games doesn’t mean he can’t perform well. Although Ohtani has been one of the best starters in the league, he has been below average at the plate. That changed in a big way against Anaheim, with Ohtani going 6 for 13 with three walks over the weekend. If he can keep this up, it would be a big boost for the series and the LA season.

teoscar hernandez

Hernandez had a similarly hot weekend after an all-time low in the season. He went 4 for 12 with a walk, a home run and five RBI in the three-game series. He remains a legitimate power threat at the plate but has actually batted more for average recently. Over his last seven games he has batted .407. This might seem like another hot streak, but he’s also batting .327 in his last 15 games. This reads more as quality contact than a random bounce.

call to the bullpen

The Dodgers (somewhat surprisingly) have a better bullpen ERA than the Padres. He has a 3.06 ERA compared to San Diego’s 3.81 mark. That being said, the Friars have had to cover far more innings (205.1) than Los Angeles (144.1). And ERA isn’t a particularly good indicator of who is better, but it is a helpful benchmark for run prevention.

The Padres have an array of high-leverage relievers, headlined by closers Mason Miller, Jason Adam, Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morezon and rookie flamethrower Bradgley Rodriguez. Those guys got plenty of comfort this weekend when San Diego’s starters managed to cover 16 innings against Seattle. If the Dodgers hope to win the game they will need to build a lead with the Friars starter out.

Although newcomer Edwin Diaz won’t be pitching for Los Angeles in the near future, Tanner Scott has surprisingly filled the closer’s role quite well. Scott boasts a 1.47 ERA after a disappointing 2025 season. Behind him are Will Klein and Alex Vessia. Klein has solidified himself as a key reliever in his second season with LA veteran Blake Treinen, struggling but still owning a serviceable 3.68 ERA. Other than those four, the Dodgers are short on depth, but not as bad at leaving late games as the 2025 group.

west ham united FC Metz have made solid progress with their move to sign Alfa Toure in the summer transfer window.

The Premier League side had already set their sights on the defensive midfielder in the winter market.

In January, Sports Witness broadcast news West Ham’s initial offer of €7m. The source had reported the Hammers returning with an improved bid but this did not happen in the same window.

A month later, the Senegalese midfielder revealed that he was pleased by West Ham’s interest and talked about his dream of moving to England.

That time, He said: : “It’s always nice when clubs like West Ham or Besiktas show interest in me. It shows I still have to work hard. But I’m under contract with Metz and I’m very focused on my season. I leave it to my representatives. [my family] And the club,” Touré explained.

“I’m focused on the pitch. As long as I wear the Metz shirt, I give 100%… The Premier League is a very intense championship, with a lot of pace and impact. It’s a dream for many players. But one thing at a time.”

The Hammers are making progress in their negotiations and have a ‘significant advantage’ over competitors. Unless there is a fresh setback or a last-minute twist, West Ham could finalize the operation this week.

Impact of demotion on West Ham move?

West Ham United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the league on Sunday. The latest result means the Hammers are still in the relegation zone, two points behind 17th-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have a game in hand.

There is no mention of what will happen to Alfa Toure if the Hammers are relegated from the Championship.

Touré’s contract runs until 2028, and transfer market Now estimate his value at €5m.

西汉姆联 在夏季转会窗口签下梅斯队的阿尔法·图雷方面，球队取得了具体进展。

英超球队已经在冬季市场上关注了这名防守型中场。

一月，《体育见证》 转播新闻 西汉姆联队最初报价为 700 万欧元。据消息人士报道，铁锤帮以改进的出价回归，但这并没有发生在同一个窗口。

一个月后，这位塞内加尔中场透露他对西汉姆联的兴趣感到高兴，并谈到了他转会英格兰的梦想。

当时， 他说: “当像西汉姆联或贝西克塔斯这样的俱乐部对我表现出兴趣时，我总是感到受宠若惊。这表明我仍然需要努力工作。但我与梅斯有合同，我非常专注于我的赛季。我把这个留给我的代表 [my family] 和俱乐部，”图埃解释道。

“我专注于球场。只要我穿着梅斯球衣，我就会付出100%的努力……英超联赛是一项非常激烈的锦标赛，节奏很快，影响力很大。这对很多球员来说都是一个梦想。但一次只做一件事。”

西汉姆联正在就图雷进行谈判

快进到五月 运动的 塞内加尔报道西汉姆联队对阿尔法·图雷感兴趣的最新消息。

该媒体明确表示，努诺·埃斯皮里托·桑托的球队已经与这位 20 岁的球员原则上达成协议，这是他们自己的最新消息。

他于 2024 年 7 月离开 Génération Foot 加盟梅斯足球俱乐部，上赛季踢了 21 场比赛，当时俱乐部升入法甲。

Despite the massive injury problems facing the Toronto Blue Jays’ pitching rotation, they still decided to designate Eric Lauer for the job last week. Now, the left-hander has found a new life with none other than the Los Angeles Dodgers.

In return, Toronto gets the old standby, “cash consideration.”

With a 9-2 record, Lauer did everything the Blue Jays could from him during the 2025 season. He was a starter for half the year, and in 15 starts, he had a good 3.77 ERA with 9.0 strikeouts per nine innings. He was then moved to the bullpen, which was not his first choice, but he adapted to it. big time. He posted a 1.76 ERA in 13 relief appearances. He also made five strong appearances in the postseason in that role with a 3.12 ERA.

In fact, Dodgers fans from Chavez Ravine will remember Lauer for his stellar performance in the Game Three 18-inning marathon. He came on in the 12th inning and pitched 4.2 scoreless innings on 68 pitches, allowing only two hits.

It seems the Dodgers have made a mental note of the 5.2 scoreless innings that Lauer threw in the two World Series games against them.

Lauer joins the Dodgers with a 6.69 ERA this season

But 2026 has been a whole new game for Lauer. No matter what role he played, the southpaw couldn’t bring it together. He has a 6.69 ERA overall. In six starts, he posted a 6.15 ERA and 1.56 WHIP, with a strikeout to walk ratio of only 18:13. In two stints in the bullpen, it was even uglier, with an 8.10 ERA in 10 innings. He surrendered a league-leading 11 homers in his eight contests.

But the 30-year-old has seen ups and downs in his eight-year career and has often come back stronger. It would surprise no one if the Dodgers were able to get the lefty back to his winning ways.

The Dodgers are in desperate need of help in the rotation. Blake Snell went back to the IL after only one appearance, and Tyler Glasnow is also currently out due to back spasms. Reports are that Lauer will initially serve as a length option in the bullpen when he joins the team this week, but as he progresses, a spot in the rotation will certainly be on the table.

For his career, Lauer has a 4.26 ERA with 8.5 K/9 in 737.2 innings.

The 2026 PGA Championship came to a close on Sunday, and in a fitting ending, Aaron Rae was victorious at Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania.

Despite challenging conditions on Friday, Rai managed to overcome the odds and hoist the Wanamaker Trophy.

Here are the 10 winners and losers of the 2026 PGA Championship.

Winner: Aaron Rae, PGA Championship winner

Aaron Rae won a major championship for the first time in his career. His best performance in a major before Sunday was T19 on three separate occasions. Rai, who is known for wearing golf gloves on both hands, recorded four birdies on the back nine for a final round 65.

Loser: Alex Smalley

Despite a 54-hole lead, Alex Smalley was unable to hold the lead and win the Wanamaker Trophy, finishing runner-up, three shots behind Rae. Smalley didn’t get off to a good start with a double bogey on the par-4 sixth and a bogey on the par-3 sixth. However he responded with birdie on the par-5 ninth and eagle on the par-5^th 16^thThis was not enough to get the job done. However, he recorded his best major performance on Sunday.

Winner: Jon Rahm

Since leaving the PGA Tour and moving to LIV Golf, Jon Rahm has struggled in four major championships. Despite finishing in the top 10 at the PGA Championship and US Open last year, he did not compete in any of the eight majors. Rahm closed his 10^th PGA Championship runner-up and tied with Smalley. Despite two birdies on the first two holes, he had two bogeys on the next five holes.

Winner: Justin Thomas

The two-time PGA Championship winner came close to victory again. Justin Thomas, who hoisted the Wanamaker Trophy in 2017 and 2022, recorded a final round of 65 and finished fourth. Had he not shot a 2-over 72 on Saturday, it might have been a different story for the Alabama alumnus. Thomas also recorded his best performance this season at Aronimink Golf Club this week. After an early bogey on the third hole, he made six birdies the rest of the way to record his fourth top 10 at the PGA Championship.

Loser: Crowded Leaderboard

For those hoping someone would open early on a Sunday or Saturday, you didn’t find one. After Friday, when the field was halved, there were more than 50 players within six shots of the lead, making it possible for anyone to win the PGA Championship. As a result, the championship storyline progressed to Sunday before Rai won.

Winner: Ludwig Aberg

Since his 2024 Masters runner-up finish, Ludwig Aberg has not been able to reach that contention level with four missed cuts. However, on Sunday, Aberg returned to that form, finishing tied for fourth at 5-under par. This included three consecutive rounds under par on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. His top-five finish this week is his fifth in the last seven starts, not including last week’s T8 at the Truist Championship.

Winner: Kurt Kitayama

Although Kurt Kitayama was in contention on Sunday, Kitayama finished his PGA Championship debut in style. He shot a bogey-free 7-under 63, which included birdies on the first three holes. His score was also the best score of Sunday’s final round. As a result, he finished xx, scoring his first top 10 in a major since the 2023 PGA Championship.

Loser: Bryson DeChambeau

For his second consecutive major championship and third in the last four major championships, Bryson DeChambeau failed to make the weekend. The LIV golf star, who also missed the cut at the Masters last month, shot 6-over in the opening round. It included five bogies and one double bogie. Although he finished his second round with three consecutive birdies, it was not enough.

Winner: Ben Kern

One of the beauties of the PGA Championship is that the PGA of America allows its professionals to compete in major championships. Of the 20 players who qualified for this week’s PGA Championship, Ben Kern was the only PGA Professional to make the cut. Kern, who teaches golf at Hickory Hills Golf Club in Grove City, Ohio, was ranked XX. His tournament was highlighted by recording a 5-under 67 during Friday’s windy conditions, the third-best score in the second round.

Loser: Garrick Higgo

Garrick Higgo was popular on Thursday, but for the wrong reasons. way before and 10^th Tee boxes are set, players remove tees from each hole every five minutes. (Normally on the PGA Tour, players tee off in 10-minute intervals.) However, Higgo, whose tee time was 7:18 a.m., arrived at the tee box a minute late. A delay of more than 60 seconds resulted in a penalty of two strokes. And because of the penalty, he missed the cut by a stroke.

After an offseason of roster-building, the Indianapolis Colts are preparing for a new year. Before they open the season for Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens on September 13, Colts general manager Chris Ballard will have several difficult decisions to make.

Currently, the Colts have a roster of 90 players. On August 26, they will have to reduce that number from 90 to 53 players. In doing so, the Colts may be forced to release a recent first-round pick.

Recently, Bleacher Report’s Mo Moton suggested that, instead of finding a trade partner, the Colts could release Anthony Richardson. This is what we saw them do with former Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore, who still hasn’t found a new team.

Richardson would certainly prefer to be released rather than traded elsewhere. This will give the 23-year-old player a chance to choose his next team.

On the surface, it seems hard to believe that the Colts would have to release a player who was selected fourth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. Still, with the Colts likely considering very small trade returns for a player who will be a free agent at the end of the season, it would not be unprecedented for them to decide it would be best to release Richardson.

For now, Richardson is set to return as the backup to Daniel Jones, who signed a two-year, $88 million extension this offseason. The Colts also have 2025 sixth-round pick Riley Leonard and 2025 undrafted free agent Seth Hennigan.

With Jones recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, the Colts may like the additional insurance provided by Richardson, and there’s always a chance he opts out in the preseason, leading to a trade offer from an interested team.

The Cleveland Cavaliers took a gamble with the James Harden trade during the season, hoping it would propel them into the NBA playoffs. Heading into the elimination game, Harden’s future in Cleveland seems predetermined.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported this weekend that even if they bow out in Game 7 on Sunday, “there is an understanding” that the Cavaliers will work out a new contract with Harden.

Cleveland is reportedly already “happy” with the replacement of Darius Garland in favor of Harden. The former NBA MVP provides Cleveland with the lead guard they’ve been looking to pair with Donovan Mitchell, and he’s seen enough of that to commit to him long-term.

Harden has a $42.317 million player option for the 2026–27 season, which he is expected to decline. However, while he may explore his options in NBA free agency, the Cavaliers’ situation appears to be the best fit for him.

For now, it seems like there is an unwritten agreement between both sides that Harden will be taken care of this summer. He is set to get a multi-year extension that will likely include a player option, potentially also allowing him to hit the open market again next summer.

So, no matter what happens in Game 7 on Sunday night against the Detroit Pistons, the Cavaliers are ready to move forward with the guard tandem of Harden and Mitchell. It’s less clear whether both Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley will be part of the organization’s plans if they are waived again before the Eastern Conference Finals.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves is poised to become one of the top players available in NBA free agency this summer. While Los Angeles is favored to re-sign him, contenders are already gearing up for a bidding war.

Dan Woik and Sam Amick of The Athletic reported that the Utah Jazz and Atlanta Hawks are already two teams that have “known interest” in signing Reaves this summer.

RELATED: Executives predict potential cost of Austin Reeves contract

• Austin Reeves Stats (2025-26): 23.3 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 1.1 spg, 2.3 3pts per game, 36% 3pts

Reeves, age 27, is believed to still live in Los Angeles. The 6-foot-5 guard has expressed his desire to remain with the Lakers and there were reports during the season that he might take a waiver to remain with the team.

Los Angeles already knows what price he is looking for on a long-term deal. The lack of high-level talent in NBA free agency, especially under the age of 30, gives Reaves an advantage. With the rising NBA salary cap, over $40 million is being paid per season at this point.

RELATED: Executive details potential win-win contract for Lakers, LeBron

The challenge for the Lakers will be how they build their roster with a commitment of more than $90 million per season to Reaves and Luka Doncic. Los Angeles will also have to decide what to offer LeBron James, who will have a limited number of suitors and all of them will have financial restrictions on what they can offer.

Last year, the Washington Commander’s leading receiver was Deebo Samuel with 727 yards and five touchdowns. But now the 30-year-old is a free agent.

The Commanders’ next leading receiver was Terry McLaurin, who had 582 yards and three touchdowns, but was limited to only 10 games due to injury. While the Commanders selected Antonio Williams in the third round, there is no guarantee the rookie will contribute immediately. So, how will Washington replace Samuel’s production?

Sports IllustratedAlbert Breer recently suggested the Commanders sign free agent receiver Stefon Diggs. It may help that Diggs is a DC native. However, as Breyer noted, several other teams may be interested in the four-time Pro Bowler.

Now that teams can sign free agents without impacting their 2027 compensatory pick formula, we may see the market heat up for starters like Diggs.

Last season, Diggs made a significant impact in New England, recording 85 receptions for 1,013 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He could make a similar difference in Washington, and he might even be able to add his younger brother, cornerback Trevon Diggs, to the mix. Dan Quinn was Diggs’ defensive coordinator in Dallas for three seasons from 2021 to 2023.

Together, the Diggs brothers could help the Commanders in their quest to return to the playoffs this season.

Last week it was revealed that New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabors had a second surgery on his knee to remove scar tissue from his ACL surgery.

The Giants hope he will be ready for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, but there is no guarantee he will. With his availability for Week 1 in question, they will have to consider the possibility that he will begin the season on the PUP list.

The team will be cautious with Nabors as the goal is to get him back on the field when he is 100%. Head coach John Harbaugh and the rest of the Giants executives will be closely monitoring the health of their star receiver as training camp approaches.

If the franchise has to start the year without their best playmaker, there are a number of directions they could go. Here’s a look at three possible scenarios the team could go with if Nabors is unavailable for the start of the season.

RELATED: Eli Manning reveals big secret about refusing to play for Chargers

Sign Odell Beckham Jr.

The Giants showed interest in acquiring Odell Beckham Jr. before it was revealed that Nabors had undergone a second surgery by bringing him in for a workout. With the possibility of starting the year without their star player and Darius Slayton recovering from core muscle surgery, this interest has certainly increased.

At 33 years old, Odell Beckham Jr. won’t be the number one option on any team, but he’s still a solid route runner with reliable hands who could be a dependable replacement for Jackson Dart. It seems likely that if OBJ plays in 2026, it will be with Big Blue, as he has not been linked with any of the other 31 teams.

One of the biggest priorities for New York this offseason was upgrading the receiver position. They accomplished this in free agency by signing Darnell Money and Kelvin Austin III to one-year contracts. They then traded three draft picks with the Cleveland Browns to move up and draft Malachi Fields with the 74 overall pick.^th Overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft

Although neither of them will be considered a true number one option in the passing game, their collection, along with tight end Isaiah, will be enough to keep the passing offense afloat until the Pro Bowl wideout is able to play.

sign deebo samuel

The New York Giants’ offense will be their most physical unit this season with the addition of 300-pound fullback Patrick Rickard. Rickard will create running lanes for Cam Scatebo and Tyrone Jr. Additionally, that would make them one of the most efficient teams in low-yardage situations.

But the team could add a physical presence on the outside if it signs free agent wideout Deebo Samuel. Samuel played with the Washington Commanders last season and had 72 receptions for 727 receiving yards, with five touchdowns.

Samuel’s best attributes are his versatility, his running after the catch and his ability to break tackles. Although he is 30 years old and has missed a step, the six-foot, 215-pound receiver will make the offense even more physical than it currently is. If Harbaugh wants to add another physical playmaker, Samuel would be an excellent option.

There was a lot of excitement in the football world as the 2026 NFL schedule was released on Thursday, and we finally know when and where all 32 teams will play their games.

The New York Giants will be one of the most fascinating stories of the NFL season, as many think the team could go 4-13 in the playoffs in 2026 under head coach John Harbaugh and second-year quarterback Jackson Dart.

But making the postseason won’t be easy, as Big Blue plays six teams that made the playoffs last season and had a tough final month of the season.

There are less than four months to go until the season starts, and here are our early game-by-game predictions.

RELATED: 3 options for the New York Giants if Malik Nabors isn’t ready for Week 1

Week 3: Home at Tennessee Titans

The Giants will welcome their former head coach, Brian Daboll, and several of his former teammates to MetLife Stadium. But they won’t be giving him a warm welcome as Jackson Dart would beat out Cam Ward in a battle between two second-year quarterbacks. W (2-1)

Week 4: Home at Arizona Cardinals

Week 14: @Seattle Seahawks

The New York Mets have been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball this season, entering Sunday’s game with an 18-26 record despite having one of the highest payrolls in MLB. As a result, questions are being raised about changes to the front office and coaching staff.

MBL insider Robert Murray wrote this week that he believes Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns is likely safe. This had a lot to do with how much team owner Steve Cohen wanted him and how long he waited to hire him.

RELATED: Insiders explain whether the Mets will sell at the trade deadline

“Cohen coveted Stearns, believing he was the top candidate for the job, and waited more than a year to hire him after he left the position with the Brewers. He would not fire him at the first sign of trouble.”

In New York, Robert Murray met with president of baseball operations David Stearns, claiming to be safe.

Stearns, age 41, established himself as one of the best general managers in baseball during his tenure with the Milwaukee Brewers (2015-2023). After taking over as the Mets president of baseball operations ahead of the 2024 MLB season, he led the club to the National League Championship Series in his first year, but the team is now on the verge of consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance.

Despite declines in recent years, Cohen still believes in Stearns’ vision for the future. Therefore, New York’s head of baseball operations would have to dictate how the club approaches the MLB trade deadline, with a strong incentive to buy out and save his job.

RELATED: MLB Power Rankings Week 7, New York Mets Climb

The same level of trust and job security doesn’t exist for Mendoza. Murray wrote that the Mets’ captain’s future “seems more uneven” and that change is possible. What doesn’t help the New York manager is the fact that a vacancy will attract the top managerial candidates in MLB.

Ultimately, the most likely outcome is that Mendoza will be fired this year and Stearns will be chosen as the next captain of the Mets. If things don’t work out with the next manager, Cohen will likely vacate the house.

Before the 2004 NFL Draft, there was no question who would be the No. 1 overall pick. Eli Manning was the unanimous choice. This meant that the then-San Diego Chargers were going to land a franchise quarterback. It’s just, it didn’t happen that way.

Eventually, it became known that Manning did not want to play for a Chargers franchise that had missed the playoffs for eight consecutive years. Still, the spin at the time was that it was Eli’s father, former NFL QB Archie Manning, who made the power play to ensure that his son arrived at a more favorable destination.

However, now after 22 years Ellie has revealed business with boys Podcast that it wasn’t her father’s idea. It was actually Eli who had no interest in playing for the Chargers.

Manning said, “My parents weren’t really supportive. My father didn’t like the idea.” “Now, he came to my defense and supported me after everything went down, but he didn’t like it. And later, he bore the brunt of a lot of criticism because he came to my defense and people were saying, ‘Oh, you played in New Orleans all those years where you didn’t win, so you’re trying to dictate where your son is going to go.’ And he just bit his tongue and said, ‘Hey, this is what Eli wants to do and I support him’ and he did some media to try to save me from doing all the media and taking the hit.”

Manning said he did not feel like the Chargers were “most committed to winning at that time.”

The Chargers acquired an incredible asset by trading Manning to the New York Giants. In exchange for Manning, the Chargers received Philip Rivers, Shawn Merriman and Nate Kaeding. Meanwhile, Manning led the Giants to two Super Bowl wins, and the rest is history.

The Chicago Cubs have been one of the best teams in baseball this season despite having a poor rotation due to injuries. While the Cubs’ lineup is apparently deep enough for the club to be ready to compete, one of Chicago’s hitters may need to be moved this summer to address the rotation.

USA TODAY’s Bob Nightengale wrote Sunday that with Chicago in the market for a front-line starting pitcher, the front office has “no choice” but to trade infielder Matt Shaw.

RELATED: MLB Power Rankings Week 7, see where the Cubs land

Shaw, who is just 24 years old, is also not eligible for arbitration until 2029. He’s making just $804,500 this season and has made great strides. After posting a .226 batting average in his rookie season, Shaw has raised his average to .245 this year with an OPS near .700.

He has decreased his strikeout rate year-to-date (21.5% to 17.5%) and is showing good positional versatility. However, the Cubs’ roster is deep on the position-player side, with Moises Ballesteros, Michael Conforto, Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki and Alex Bregman needing consistent at-bats.

RELATED: Insider names 3 Cubs trade targets

For Chicago, the depth of hitters gives the front office the flexibility to move Shaw. The Cubs may be at an advantage over other suitors because Shaw can contribute immediately at the major-league level, while prospects may never reach the big leagues.

The challenge may be finding the right business partner. The San Francisco Giants may have some starting pitching available (Robbie Ray and Tyler Mahle), but they already have Matt Chapman at third base. Meanwhile, the New York Mets are loaded with young hitters in the corner infield.

This is Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach’s 10th season with final decisions on the roster. They have produced three Super Bowl champions in the process. Except, Veach had a big task this offseason after the Chiefs missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

With free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, the bulk of that work has already been completed. Still, now that the Chiefs have 90 players on the roster, Kansas City will have some tough decisions to make when it comes time to trim the roster down to 53 players.

something, like athleticKey insider Jesse Newell believes Kansas City could land a player from its 2025 NFL Draft class. Specifically, Newell believes the additions of Kenneth Walker III, Imari Demercado and fifth-round rookie Emmett Johnson could make 2025 seventh-round running back Brashard Smith expendable.

The Chiefs made Smith the 228th pick last year. He ran the ball 44 times for 151 yards, caught 25 passes for 172 yards and one touchdown. He’s still only 23, but clearly, Walker is the immediate and future head forward in Kansas City, and Johnson could be part of the solution, offering help on third downs as well.

Walker and Johnson’s roster spots are absolutely safe. That means Smith, Demercado, and undrafted newcomers Jaden Ott and EJ Smith, son of Hall of Fame RB Emmitt Smith, could all find themselves fighting for a roster spot and an extra slot on the practice squad.

The Aaron Rodgers saga came to an end earlier this weekend with the future Hall of Fame quarterback signing a one-year deal to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers. With that matter resolved, the focus now turns to what Pittsburgh does with its two young signal-callers.

Steelers reporter Mark Kaboli Pat McAfee Show Writes that the team has “no expectation” for Will Howard or Drew Elar to play during the 2026 NFL season.

RELATED: Insiders predict who the Steelers starting QB will be in 2027

Prior to Rodgers’ signing, there were reports that the Steelers quarterback competition would be between Howard and Mason Rudolph if the 42-year-old opted to retire. Now that he’s committed to one final season, the dynamics have changed significantly.

The new situation suggests Rudolph will serve as the Steelers’ backup quarterback behind Rodgers for some time. However, training camp could position Allar or Howard for the No. 2 job.

READ MORE: 2026 NFL Power Rankings, see where the Steelers rank

The competition between the two young passers matters because of how the 53-man roster will be constructed. It’s very unlikely that Pittsburgh will keep all four quarterbacks on the roster, so either Howard or Elar will need to perform well enough to overtake Rudolph.

Considering that Allar was the 76th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, he is all set to make the roster. However, since the Steelers’ coaching staff is drafting him solely as a passer, it is extremely unlikely that he will see the field anytime soon outside of preseason action this season.

The Kansas City Chiefs were one of the most active teams in the National Football League this off-season, realigning the supporting cast around Patrick Mahomes. Now that training camp is just a few months away, another step could be taken.

On this weekend’s SportsCenter, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler named the Chiefs as a team to watch that could still add a wide receiver via NFL free agency.

The early Chiefs offseason moves focused primarily on retaining key parts of the offense in addition to the signing of running back Kenneth Walker III. Now that the 2026 NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror, free-agent signings no longer impact compensatory selections.

There are still some pass-catching options available on the open market. Former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs stands out as the top option, especially because of his legal troubles. The club could also pursue someone like Deebo Samuel or Curtis Samuel, adding another receiving threat to the Chiefs’ offense.

There’s also the possibility of a reunion with Tyreek Hill. However, he is still trying to recover from an ACL injury and a dislocated kneecap. The 32-year-old had shown signs of a comeback before the injury, so Kansas City will be taking some risks if he shows signs of being healthy.

On Saturday night, a big MMA event took place in Inglewood, California, without the UFC on its banner. Most Valuable Promotions, with the help of streaming giant Netflix, sought to show that there is life outside the Octagon and delivered an action-packed card full of finishes and cage-fighting greats at MVP MMA 1.

Following the events of the Rousey vs. Carano card inside the Intuit Dome, we take a look at some of the biggest takeaways from a rare successful MMA event not promoted by the UFC.

MVP should build to the Robalis Despaigne vs. Francis Ngannou fight

Two standout performances on the MVP MMA 1 card from two big men competing on Saturday night. Former UFC heavyweight king Francis Ngannou and karate combat champion Robellis Despaigne. Both delivered highlight reel knockouts, especially the Cuban over heavyweight legend Junior dos Santos.

If MVP can afford to bring Ngannou back for their next event, they should do so. Likewise for DeSpain. And the ultimate goal is to build up the latter to feel like a legitimate threat to Cameroonians. A potential clash between the two heavyweights could easily headline MVP MMA 3 or 4 in 2027.

Rousey vs. Carano felt like Strikeforce reborn, and that’s a good thing

It’s been a long time since the UFC had a legitimate competitor in terms of vibe. Certainly, Bellator and the PFL have done their best over the last five-plus years to show that they were a worthwhile alternative to the UFC. However, you have to go back to the early 2010s and the last time Strikeforce had a strong No. 2 option in an MMA game.

On Saturday, MVP MMA 1 felt like Strikeforce was reborn, and that’s a good thing. The California-based brand didn’t fail because it couldn’t deliver a good product. Unfortunately its owners were unwilling to invest the money to make it a long-term success, and the UFC bought out its deep and talented roster.

The way the ring entrances were arranged last night, Mauro Ranallo and Kenny Florian were a rock-solid team on commentary, and with a card that featured some good action and finishes, including a submission win for Ronda Rousey, it felt like Strikeforce had been revived. If this is the way MVP MMA is headed, it’s a great thing for MMA fans.

MVP MMA 1 was an entertaining card, and one of its unique elements was a cross-promotion fight between Tuff-N-Uff’s Lightweight Champion and KSW Champion Kenneth Cross and Salahdin Parnasse. That fight also provided an exciting finish to the first round and was a showcase for casual fans of some of your lesser-known talents in the sport.

If MVP can continue to get top talent from regional promotions from around the world and face them, it could be a really fun showcase element to their fight cards that helps both the fighters and those promotions. More than that please.

Rousey vs. Carano delivers an action-packed card

While the Rousey vs. Carano event started with three straight decisions on the preliminary card, the rest of the event was a roller coaster ride of blood, violence, and knockouts. In the end, this is what MMA fans want, and the lack of highlight reel moments was or has been one of the biggest problems for UFC competitors like Bellator and the PFL.

MVP MMA 1 provided value for fans, and the promotion couldn’t have asked for a better card than Saturday in its debut.

Fighters get paid well on MVP MMA 1 card

A big issue for fight fans has been that the UFC’s monopoly on the sport has resulted in surprisingly low pay for their fighters. This also has many in the boxing sport concerned, as TKO – the parent company of the UFC – wants to get the fighter pay structure of the MMA world leaders down to a sweet science.

However, MVP co-owner Jake Paul has always tried to point out the salary issues for fighters in the UFC and has put his money on MVP MMA 1. CSAC released fight purses for the promotion’s first MMA events, and no fighter earned less than $40,000. Additionally, three competitors earned more than $1 million, with Rousey leading the way with $2.2 million.

MVP MMA being successful and increasing the salaries of fighters is a huge potential for the sport.

The Rousey vs. Carano card felt big and MMA desperately needed it

In the end, MVP MMA 1: Rousey vs. Carano felt huge. Whether you wanted to watch the two female MMA pioneers fight or not, when you watched it on Netflix, the event and their bout felt gorgeous and meaningful. It felt like a mix of a UFC card and a major boxing event.

It’s been two decades since a significant event happened in MMA that had nothing to do with the UFC. The fact that the card was distributed further increased its relevance. MVP MMA 1 was something the game desperately needed, and hopefully there’s more to come.

Juventus wants to sign liverpool Goalkeeper Alisson this summer because he could be available for a ‘symbolic fee’ rather than his real value.

Corriere dello sport report Today on goalkeeper. Juventus want an experienced goalkeeper this summer and the Liverpool goalkeeper is the first choice.

‘Alison or something’

The newspaper says it is a case of ‘Alisson or little else’ this summer. Manager Luciano Spalletti has a clear idea of ​​who he wants in goal next season.

He wants to ensure that Juventus make a leap in quality this summer, not improve slightly. The belief is that the Liverpool goalkeeper can provide that.

But the focus is really on the cost of operation. If he were available for a ‘symbolic fee’, in other words not for the €10-15m quoted in recent months, the transfer could become a reality. If this does not happen then it will remain a story which is ‘destined to never be completed’.

Juventus already have other options on their list. Fiorentina’s David De Gea is Plan B despite turning 36 on November 7^th.

Fiorentina would like him to stay for the next two seasons. But Juventus intend to talk to the Spaniard to discuss his salary and a possible transfer to Turin this summer. The Italians have also been offered goalkeeper Noah Atubolu.

liverpool has to take a decision

But the goalkeeper remains Liverpool’s number one target. He can provide the experience that Spalletti wants in his new number one.

The question is whether Liverpool let him go. They are already missing Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah this summer. Virgil van Dijk has even been linked with a possible move to Turkiye.

Alisson has a year left on his deal after the Reds secured a new deal earlier this year. That means a decision regarding him has to be taken this summer. But it appears Juventus are willing to pay a nominal fee, which may not fit with the Reds’ plans for the Brazilian.

尤文图斯有意签约 利物浦 今年夏天，他选择了门将阿利森，因为他可能需要支付“象征性费用”，而不是他的实际价值。

《罗马体育报》报道 今天谈到守门员。尤文图斯今夏想要一名经验丰富的门将，而利物浦门将是首选。

“阿利森或其他什么”

该报称，今年夏天的情况是“阿利森或其他”。主教练卢西亚诺·斯帕莱蒂对于下赛季的目标有明确的想法。

他要确保尤文图斯在今年夏天实现质的飞跃，而不是稍有提高。人们相信利物浦门将能够做到这一点。

但重点实际上是运营成本。如果他可以支付“象征性费用”，换句话说，不是近几个月报价的 10-1500 万欧元，那么转会可能会成为现实。如果这没有发生，他将仍然是一个“注定永远不会实现”的故事。

尤文图斯的名单上已经有其他选择。佛罗伦萨队的大卫·德赫亚是 B 计划，尽管他在 11 月 7 日就满 36 岁了^th。

佛罗伦萨希望他再留两个赛季。但尤文图斯打算与西班牙人交谈，讨论他的薪水以及今年夏天转会都灵的可能性。意大利人还向门将诺阿·阿图博卢提出了报价。

利物浦必须做出决定

但利物浦门将仍然是第一目标。他可以提供斯帕莱蒂想要的新一号球员的经验。

问题是利物浦是否让他离开。今年夏天他们已经失去了安迪·罗伯逊和穆罕默德·萨拉赫。甚至维吉尔·范迪克也有可能转会至土耳其。

今年早些时候，红军与阿利森签订了一份新合同，他的合同还剩一年。这意味着今年夏天必须对他做出决定。但尤文图斯似乎想支付象征性的费用，这可能不符合红军对巴西人的计划。

阿斯顿维拉 和 利物浦 多年来，我一直看着佩德罗·贡萨尔维斯撕裂葡萄牙的后防线。现在，很长一段时间以来，葡萄牙体育队第一次真正准备好敞开大门。

对于其他人来说，这个时机突然变得很危险。因为佩德罗·贡萨尔维斯本赛季在葡萄牙的26场联赛中打进了13球。

他平均每90分钟出手3.74次，每6.15次出手就能得分。所以他是左翼杀手。

再加上 7 次助攻、场均 2.39 次关键传球和精英级的创造力数据，就更容易理解为什么英超联赛的兴趣从未真正消失。

阿斯顿维拉和利物浦的长期崇拜者

根据 新闻杂志如果今年夏天合适的报价到来，葡萄牙体育现在愿意进行谈判。

维拉和利物浦被认为是佩德罗·贡萨尔维斯周围最突出的两支英格兰俱乐部。

两人多年来一直关注这位运动员。当我们密切关注时， 关于阿斯顿维拉的猜测 自 2024 年以来有些具体，而 利物浦的兴趣 可以追溯到 2021 年。但两人都有理由相信他可以立即融入英超联赛。

乌奈·埃梅里看重能够在中场和边路角色之间游走的灵活进攻型球员，而利物浦的招募团队一直瞄准那些将进球与紧迫强度和创造力结合起来的高效前锋。

佩德罗·贡萨尔维斯满足了所有这些条件。自2020年加盟里斯本竞技以来，他已在237场比赛中打进97粒进球和57次助攻。对于一个仍然在禁区外进行大部分比赛的人来说，这些数据是精英级别的。

即使在本赛季，尽管在部分比赛中身体出现问题，他仍然在所有比赛中打进了15个进球和8次助攻。

27岁的葡萄牙人越来越感觉到，这可能是葡萄牙体育和球员最终接受海外转会的理想时刻。

西汉姆联的情况取决于生存

西汉姆联也被认为是佩德罗·贡萨尔维斯的长期崇拜者。

正如我们近年来报道的那样铁锤队已经追踪他几个赛季，并多次赞赏他的多才多艺和进攻三区的生产力。然而，今年夏天任何认真的转会尝试都可能取决于他们的英超地位。

如果局势加速发展，这种不确定性自然会让阿斯顿维拉和利物浦等俱乐部处于更有利的地位。

与此同时，葡萄牙体育已经在为重大的阵容变动做准备。

中场球员罗德里戈·扎拉扎尔以创俱乐部纪录的 3000 万欧元（合 2520 万英镑）从布拉加转会而来，而葡萄牙球队则继续为威尼斯中场球员进行交易 伊萨·敦比亚 并梦想着带来 托特纳姆热刺队球员若昂·帕利尼亚 后退。

佩德罗·贡萨尔维斯的合同到 2030 年为止，并有 8000 万欧元（6720 万英镑）的解约金条款。

不过，重要的细节现在在别处。体育界不再积极地阻止谈话。经过多年的等待，阿斯顿维拉和利物浦可能终于感觉到了机会。

Aston Villa And liverpool Spent years watching Pedro Gonçalves destroy the Portuguese back line. Now, for the first time in a long time, Sporting actually looks ready to open the door.

And time suddenly seems dangerous for everyone else. Because Pedro Goncalves has scored 13 goals in 26 league matches in Portugal this season.

He averages 3.74 shots per 90 minutes, and he scores once every 6.15 attempts. So he is a killer of leftist ideology.

Add to this seven assists, 2.39 key passes per game and elite creative numbers, and it becomes easy to understand why Premier League interest never properly disappeared.

Aston Villa and Liverpool are longtime fans

according to News bulletinSporting are now ready to negotiate if the right offer comes along this summer.

Villa and Liverpool are mentioned as the two English clubs that stand most strongly around Pedro Gonçalves.

Both have followed the sporting legend for years. As we followed closely, Speculation regarding Aston Villa is somewhat solid since 2024, while Liverpool’s interest Dates for 2021. But both also have reasons to believe he can fit into Premier League football immediately.

Unai Emery values ​​flexible attacking players capable of flowing between midfield and wide roles, while Liverpool’s recruitment team has consistently targeted productive forwards who combine goals with pressing intensity and creativity.

Pedro Gonçalves ticks all those boxes. He has scored 97 goals and provided 57 assists in 237 appearances for Sporting since arriving in 2020. These are typical numbers for a man who still plays the vast majority of matches outside the penalty area.

Even this season, despite physical problems in parts of the campaign, he still managed to score 15 goals and 8 assists in all competitions.

At the age of 27, there is also a growing feeling in Portugal that this could be the ideal moment for both Sporting and the player to finally accept a big move abroad.

West Ham’s situation depends on survival

West Ham are also mentioned as long-term admirers of Pedro Gonçalves.

As we have covered in recent yearsThe Hammers have monitored him for several seasons and have repeatedly praised his versatility and final-third productivity. However, any serious attempt to make a move this summer will likely depend on their Premier League status.

This uncertainty naturally puts clubs like Aston Villa and Liverpool in a stronger position if the situation escalates.

Meanwhile, Sporting is already preparing for significant changes to the team.

Midfielder Rodrigo Zalazar has arrived from Braga in a club-record €30m (£25.2m) move, while Portuguese side Venezia continue to work on deals for the midfielder. Issa Doumbia and dream of bringing joao palinha of tottenham Back.

Pedro Gonçalves still has a contract until 2030 and an €80m (£67.2m) release clause.

Still, the important details are now elsewhere. Sporting is no longer aggressively shutting down negotiations. And after years of waiting, Aston Villa and Liverpool may finally feel an opening.

Not two words Montreal Canadiens fans wanted to hear after Saturday night.

Game 7.

Still, that’s where this series is headed after the Buffalo Sabers owned the final 40 minutes at the Bell Center.

After Rasmus Dahlin scored 32 seconds into the game, Montreal jumped out to the lead on the Buffalo Sabres, scoring three goals in the first period on the sticks of Arbor Zekhaj, Ivan Demidov and Jake Evans.

After Lindy Ruff picked off Ukka Pekka-Lukkonen in Game 6, they immediately pulled him for Alex Lyon after a Montreal barrage in the first period.

Hubbs convinced the crowd that it was over before it really even started. But a key high-sticking penalty from Mike Matheson helped the Sabers claw back a goal on the power play thanks to Jason Zucker, giving the game a 3–2 lead heading into the first intermission.

Only then can you feel the change in speed.

In the second the buffalo came out flying. Zach Benson tied it early, then Jack Quinn hit a snapshot on the power play to put them ahead. Consta Helenius added an insurance marker to give Buffalo its first and indefinite multi-goal lead of the game, sending Buffalo into the second intermission with a 5–3 lead.

All were subs in the third period. Quinn added his second power-play marker of the night, and Taj Thompson finished it with an empty-net goal.

Still, with the goaltender back in net for Buffalo, Zack Metsa scored his first in the playoffs, while the man added insult to injury by taking advantage late, leading Montreal to an 8–3 loss.

With a few minutes left in the third period, an uproar broke out and tempers flared. Six miscues between whistles were handed down to an extracurricular activity, making the appeal of Game 7 even stronger.

Buffalo dominated the shot clock 36-22 and owned special teams on Saturday night.

This was the reaction everyone in Western New York wanted after the Habs took on Don Buffalo on their field in Game 5, while Montreal fans were hoping to wrap up the series tonight.

Instead, the Canadiens’ early multi-goal lead vanished, and now they await a similar elimination to the Sabres.

The series heads back to KeyBank Center for Game 7 on Monday.

The Houston Astros enter MLB games today with the second-worst record in the American League, with a top-10 lineup suppressed by the worst pitching staff in baseball. With this proving to be a disastrous year for Houston, the struggles could force the front office to make roster moves at the MLB trade deadline.

FanSided’s Robert Murray wrote that if the Astros ultimately decide to become sellers this summer, the most likely players to be moved are infielder Isaac Paredes and first baseman Christian Walker.

Houston entered the weekend with an 18-28 record, leaving it 10 games short of .500, but just four games behind the Texas Rangers for the third wild card spot in the American League. The club is also just six games behind the first-place Sacramento Athletics in the AL West, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the club could bounce back this summer and get back into playoff contention.

The question is whether or not the Astros pitching staff can get to a place where this team can compete. Hunter Brown, sidelined with a shoulder problem, is on the 60-day injured list and isn’t expected to return until sometime in June. Meanwhile, Ronel Blanco (elbow) is still only throwing bullpen sessions, and Cristian Javier is early in the throwing schedule and won’t return until the summer.

To put the Astros’ pitching problems into perspective, they have the worst ERA in MLB (5.47) and are the only club in baseball with an ERA over 5. Starting pitching (5.16 ERA, 29th in MLB) has been an issue, but the bullpen (5.81 ERA) has been the biggest culprit.

Luckily for Houston, Walker is helping his trade value significantly this summer. In the second year of a three-year, $60 million contract, his batting average (.235 to .268), OBP (.297 to .342) and OPS (.717 to .848) have skyrocketed compared to last season.

Paredes is making $9.5 million this season, and he has a club option for 2027 worth $13.35 million. The 27-year-old infielder has a .734 OPS with a .257 batting average this season in 34 appearances at third base, six at first and three at second base.

At the start of the 2025–26 NBA season, it became clear that the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs were on a collision course for a playoff berth. Luckily, the latest rivalry in the NBA will take place in the Western Conference Finals.

While Oklahoma City finished the regular season with the best record in the NBA, it lost four of five games in head-to-head contests against San Antonio. Those competitions also revealed just how much friction there is between Victor Wembanyama and the Thunder, which adds even more intrigue to the series.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at our Western Conference Finals predictions.

Game 1: Oklahoma City Thunder 113, San Antonio Spurs 109

Oklahoma City is expected to get wing Jalen Williams back for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, which is an added boost for a team that is already well-rested. Wembanyama and the Spurs have already proven they can go to Paycom Center and win, but the extra time to prepare along with home-court advantage could impact Game 1. We expect this to be a tight game from start to finish, but Wambayama’s 30-plus points combined with the 30-plus points from Ajayi Mitchell and Williams will propel Oklahoma City to a Game 1 victory.

Game 2: San Antonio Spurs 117, Oklahoma City Thunder 110

The Spurs will steal one from the Thunder; This is one of our Western Conference Finals predictions we feel the strongest about. Wembanyama has already demonstrated that he can completely neutralize Chet Holmgren, and the Spurs also have the guard depth to match up with Oklahoma City. In Game 2, Wembanyama scored over 35 points with 5 blocks and 2 steals in one of the most impressive two-way performances of the entire NBA playoffs. Additionally, Dylan Harper comes off the bench with 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists to help San Antonio tie the series upon returning home.

Game 3: San Antonio Spurs 108, Oklahoma City Thunder 105

In the first Western Conference Finals home game for the franchise since May 22, 2017, we are expecting a noisy atmosphere at Frost Bank Center. This is another rivalry game where we see bad blood spill over in an electric atmosphere between the Spurs and Thunder. While Oklahoma City is generally a team that avoids mistakes, last year’s NBA Finals showed that they can experience a few misses and turnovers. Against a well-coached team like San Antonio, who also has the length and defensive versatility to put pressure on Gilgeous-Alexander and close down passing lanes, we think the Spurs come out on top at home. San Antonio takes a 2–1 series lead in the Western Conference Finals, with Wembanyama averaging nearly 30 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks per contest.

Game 4: Oklahoma City Thunder 116, San Antonio Spurs 110

In a key game on the road, Oklahoma City’s playoff experience keeps them from being on the brink of elimination. Jalen Williams should be over the rust by now since his return, giving the Thunder a bucket-getter who can take over games. With so much defensive pressure on SGA, Williams repeated his standout performance from last year’s NBA Finals with over 35 points, including five three-pointers. It’s Williams’ resurgence and some clutch minutes off the bench that allow the Thunder to even the series by capturing Game 4 in San Antonio.

Game 5: San Antonio Spurs 120, Oklahoma City Thunder 113

We expect this Spurs vs. Thunder showdown in the Western Conference Finals to be a regular thing in the years to come. In our view, a theme of this rivalry will be finding ways for Oklahoma City and San Antonio to pick up wins on the road. That’s what we expect in Game 5, this time with De’Aaron Fox leading the way with a double-double. The Spurs had five players (Fox, Wembanyama, Harper, Stephen Cassel, and Keldon Johnson) score double figures, giving San Antonio its second win in the series.

Game 6: Oklahoma City Thunder 114, San Antonio Spurs 104

We’re giving San Antonio a chance to wrap up the Western Conference Finals at home in Game 6. It will not be removed. While Gilgeous-Alexander’s stellar third quarter performance will effectively put the Spurs away in this one, it’s going to be a breakout game from Chet Holmgren (22 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks) that proves to be the difference maker early on. Oklahoma City won Game 6, its largest point differential in the entire seven-game series.

Game 7: Oklahoma City Thunder 111, San Antonio Spurs 109

Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals will determine who will be crowned NBA champion this season. This is because both San Antonio and Oklahoma City are a level higher than either team coming from the Eastern Conference. In this winner-take-all game, the Spurs came out of the gate in a hostile environment and trailed by double digits in the second quarter. A few halftime adjustments and a highly motivated Vembanyama are a recipe for a comeback. Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will have no answer when Wembanyama stakes his claim to be the best player in the NBA right now. This makes for a tight game in the final minutes. Once again, Gilgeous-Alexander stepped up to the plate. We’re projecting a 40-burger in Game 7 for SGA, including double-digit points in the fourth quarter to help the Thunder win the Western Conference Finals.

A new report suggests that the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens may be on the verge of acquiring the two multi-time Pro Bowl receivers still available in NFL free agency.

The 2025 season brought something football fans are not used to. losing seasons to the league’s dynasty team, the Chiefs, and perennial playoff contenders, the Ravens. Both franchises were hit by serious injuries and surprisingly disappointing play. However, a pair of AFC teams feel they have made changes this offseason that will get them back to Super Bowl contention in 2026.

However, they still have one glaring position on the roster that could provide some help: the wide receiver core. There are still some interesting veteran options on the market, and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler suggested the pair of AFC powerhouses are likely candidates to pick one of them.

“You have Keenan Allen, you have Stefon Diggs, you have Tyreek Hill, and you have a lot of teams that need help,” Fowler said on Saturday’s edition of ESPN. sports center. “The Kansas City Chiefs are a little thin at receiver. The Baltimore Ravens are also a little thin.”

Why are Tyreek Hill and Stefon Diggs still in free agency?

Hill is an eight-time Pro Bowler who was among the star veterans cut by the Miami Dolphins this offseason as part of their new regime’s downsizing strategy. In 2024, he had his first season with less than 1,000 yards receiving and played only four games in 2025 after tearing his ACL.

Diggs had a comeback season as the No. 1 receiver for the AFC champion New England Patriots. Posting a distance of 1,013 yards. He also had a torn ACL, but that came two years ago. However, he has built a reputation for causing drama on and off the field.

Hill has a similar reputation, which is why the 30-something duo remains in free agency. There has been much speculation throughout the offseason about a reunion with the Chiefs and Hill. In Kansas City, Hill became one of the top pass catchers in the game and earned his six Pro Bowl honors there.

RFK Racing is facing the possibility of needing to run one of its three The Chase contenders in an unnamed car next season. If the team wants to change this, it may have to pay a heavy price.

The Athletic’s motorsports reporter Jordan Bianchi wrote this week that the low-end estimate for securing a permanent charter in the Cup Series is “close to $100 million,” and it could be even higher.

RELATED: Elite RFK Racing drivers could lose chartered status in 2027

RFK currently has a charter lease from Rick Ware Racing for the 2026 season. However, that charter was sold to Legacy Motor Club to complete the team’s expansion to three full-time drivers in 2027.

A charter in excess of $100 million is the kind of price tag that teams like Spire Motorsports, 23XI Racing, Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske can possibly afford. The same was not necessarily the case with RFK’s financial situation.

This puts RFK in the same situation that team owners in the National Football League are increasingly facing. Although this is more extreme – NFL franchise value now exceeds $7 billion – NASCAR teams will need to target partnerships with private equity groups to afford the rising costs.

RELATED: Young driver named favorite for new charter at Legacy

At that point, Puck’s John Orand reported in January that private equity groups and media corporations had “informal conversations” about a possible process of taking a minority ownership stake in NASCAR. Similarly, the teams also have similar interests, with Spire’s pockets an example of how financial support from private equity can help fund operations.

Therefore, if RFK wants to obtain a charter to ensure that Ryan Preece, Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher are all eligible for the races and can receive full slotted purses for their finale, they will need to find the funds to obtain another charter.

What NASCAR charters may be available?

NASCAR still has four charters it can sell, but none of them are likely to be made available to RFK. Under the new agreement signed this year, NASCAR can create and sell four new charters to a new OEM entering the Cup Series, which is expected to be Ram.

This leaves the only options for RFK to lease or purchase the charter outright from another team. Spire, 23XI, Penske, Joe Gibbs Racing, Richard Childress Racing and Trackhouse Racing have no intentions of downsizing.

Meanwhile, Hyak Motorsports has extended Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s commitment to another season with a full-time driver in the Cup Series. Similarly, Wood Brothers Racing is expected to retain Josh Berry.

He leaves Rick Ware Racing and the Haas factory team. The most likely option would be for RWR to sell its only remaining charter, but even that may require some convincing as it would take Cody Ware out of the Cup Series.

On Friday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves 2025-26 season came to an emphatic end with a victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 6 by a score of 139-109. The loss means the Wolves are one of 10 teams to never win an NBA championship.

Still, the Timberwolves aren’t far off after reaching the conference finals the past two seasons and facing serious resistance against a team with the second-best record in the league. Still, if Minnesota wants to make a more serious run at its first title next season, changes must come this off-season.

They have a superstar scorer in Anthony Edwards, and a ton of front-court depth they could use in a trade to land another elite scorer or impressive veteran at point guard. With that in mind, we’re taking a look at eight stars the team needs to succeed this summer.

junior holiday

Mike Conley has been a good veteran for the last four seasons. However, at 38, his best days are well behind him, and he may retire this summer. Additionally, Ayo Dosunmu improved his free agent value with a strong postseason performance.

That’s why Jrue Holiday should be a target this offseason. Yes, he’s overpaid, but he’s a winner, and surprisingly, he played a key leadership role in getting the Portland Trail Blazers back to the postseason this year. With Damian Lillard returning next season, he will be the unique guy. Both teams could consider swapping him for Rudy Gobert this summer.

giannis antetokounmpo

After dealing with them in February, you can bet the Timberwolves will trade for Milwaukee Bucks veteran Giannis Antetokounmpo again this summer. The big question is, do they have the young players the Bucks will want?

If Milwaukee were to agree to take players like Gobert or Julius Randle in return, Minnesota would likely give up a hefty amount of draft picks to acquire the two-time MVP.

Fred VanVleet

Another possible option to get a veteran point guard would be Fred VanVleet. The 32-year-old has a player option he can exercise to sign a multi-year deal in the range of $15 million to $20 million annually. Like Holiday, the one-time All-Star is a winning player and could be a real difference maker leading Minnesota’s offense next season. That’s assuming he’s fully recovered from his ACL tear last year.

kyrie irving

If the Timberwolves want to be a little adventurous, Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving could be available. There have already been reports that the team will consider moving him next year because the deadline he wants to work with doesn’t line up with franchise newcomer Cooper Flagg.

A package of Jaden McDaniels, Donte DiVincenzo’s expiring contract, and a future first-round pick should be enough to get a deal done for the 34-year-old who is recovering from an ACL injury last year.

Kevin Durant

There were rumors last season that the Timberwolves had made a strong bid for future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant. However, no deal was reached and the Phoenix Suns traded him to the Houston Rockets. While it’s unlikely Houston would move him, keeping a player close to retirement and trading Alpern Sengun would seem like bad business.

Wolves could make a great offer, and the combo of Edwards and his idol making the team for a season or two would be must-see television.

ja morant

One player who could be available at a reasonable rate would be two-time All-Star Ja Morant. The Memphis Grizzlies star’s value has hit an all-time low in recent years due to his injury problems and off-court drama. If the Timberwolves have trouble making big deals, Morant would be an interesting fallback option because if they can get him right, a Morant and Edwards combo would be awesome.

paul george

If Minnesota likes the idea of ​​a player like Durant, but he is unavailable, a backup option would be another future HOFer in Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George. Has he passed his prime and is prone to injury? Yes. But when healthy, he is still an impact player who would be a good third option behind Edwards, and if they keep Randle.

Domantas Sabonis

Speaking of Randle, the front office may decide a divorce is in the best interests of both parties. One player with a similar contract and who also needs a change of scenery is Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis. The three-time All-Star offers a similar skill set and could fit well into Minnesota’s system. The bigger issue is that he missed much of last season due to suffering a meniscus tear.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons are going to Game 7 on Sunday. That was made sure after they got a refreshed Jalen Duren to help the top-seeded Pistons to a 115-94 win in Game 6 on Friday night.

But do the NBA and its broadcast partner ABC already know how Game 7 will be played? ABC accidentally aired an ad promoting the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. New York Knicks Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday morning:

The Los Angeles Lakers face two important offseason decisions this summer with LeBron James and Austin Reaves. While it’s uncertain how much it would cost if the Hall of Famer is retained in the future, there is more information on the rate at which Reeves is paired with Luka Doncic.

NBA executives who spoke to The Athletic’s Sam Amick and Dan Wolke said Reaves could get a multi-year extension in the range of more than $40 million per season.

Reaves, age 27, is hitting NBA free agency at exactly the right time. The 6-foot-5 guard is coming off a season where he set career highs in scoring, free-throws and rebounds per game.

He’s also hitting the open market right this summer. LeBron will have a very limited number of suitors, and Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren is a restricted free agent. This makes Reaves the most coveted player available in NBA free agency this offseason.

Currently, the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls stand as the two guard-needy teams with the cap space to afford Reaves. There is also expected to be interest from the Utah Jazz.

In all likelihood, a bidding war would lead the Lakers to pay more than $40 million per season to retain Reaves. A deal would mean Los Angeles is committing more than $90 million per season to Reaves and Doncic together for the foreseeable future.
