Hull City Manager Sergej Jakirovic has admitted he is eyeing a flight to the Croatian club this summer as he eyes a Premier League contract.

sports news interview Today with the Hull City manager in which he discussed his summer plans for the Tigers.

Hull’s busy summer transfer window

Hull are expected to be extremely busy throughout the summer as they reshape their squad for life in the Premier League.

Having reached the playoffs surprisingly, to say the least, Sergej Zakirovic and his team are already behind Coventry City and Ipswich Town in terms of planning.

Both of these sides have also been pushing for the Premier League for some time, while Hull were only planning a mid-table finish in the Championship this season.

Zakirovic has already admitted that he wants 12-15 signatures To strengthen your squad. He will be looking to emulate Sunderland’s busy summer, which ended with them relegating them to European football next season.

His success came from smart scouting across Europe, and Zakirovic believes he can take a look at the SHNL, a league he knows well.

“Of course, I’m looking,” he said.

“There are players in our league who are interesting to us, but we still have to see what their price will be and whether we will have players in their place who might be more acceptable to us.”

two targets designated

Reports last summer had already linked Hull with Arbor Hoxha at Dinamo Zagreb and Rijeka’s Toni Fruk. The Hull manager is willing to look at both of them again, believing they are ready for the Premier League.

He said, “It’s true, Hoxha was our target, but because of the embargo we couldn’t compensate and Dinamo didn’t want to let him go.”

“I also wanted to bring (Rokas) Puktas from Hajduk and Fruk from Rijeka, but you won’t be able to do that if you don’t pay compensation. These are all players who will be strong for us in the championship.”

When asked if he could be Premier League reinforcements, he concluded, “I think so, they are great players.”

“I know Hoxha well at Dinamo, Puktas has great instincts, Fruk is fantastic in finals. They will all definitely be part of our analysis and discussion, but it is too early to draw any conclusions. We need to see how much money we will have available and who we will be in a position to bring in.”

“Those I have listed can definitely (play in the Premier League). Otherwise, why doubt the quality of the players who dominate our league? People with genuine ambition always find their way.”

Aston Villa The season concluded with silverware, but Emiliano Buendia’s summer did not go exactly to plan.

The midfielder played a key role in Villa’s Europa League victory. He also recently made headlines by openly discussing his dream of one day playing for River Plate in Argentina.

Yet despite finishing the campaign strongly, he was left out of Lionel Scaloni’s final Argentina squad for the World Cup.

It appears that the door to international participation will be closed this summer. However, a recent report dsports radio There are suggestions that Buendia may not be completely out of the picture.

Holidays postponed

According to the Argentine outlet, the Aston Villa player has been told to ‘remain on alert and postpone his holiday plans’.

The report claims that national team representatives informed him to continue training if a late call-up became necessary due to fitness concerns elsewhere in the team. And… this This has happened to him only last year.

The report does not indicate that a call-up is imminent. Instead, it appears that Buendia is among the players being kept on standby should Argentina need reinforcements before or during the tournament.

Why Buendia might still have a chance?

local outlet bugle Explained in detail Argentina’s injury situation ahead of the World Cup.

The good news for Lionel Scaloni is that many of the team’s biggest concerns are being eased. Cristian Romero has returned to full training after his knee injury, while Julián Álvarez has also completed his recovery and is working as normal with the group.

However, Argentina are still keeping an eye on some players. Leandro Paredes remains the most worrying case and is looking for time to be fit for the opening match.

Gonzalo Montiel is also struggling to recover from a muscle injury. Meanwhile, Nicolas Gonzalez and Emiliano Martínez are being carefully managed. Recently, Thiago Almada, another player struggling with fitness problems, trained without any restrictions.

Lionel Messi is also progressing as expected after suffering a hamstring problem during Inter Miami’s MLS campaign. Meanwhile, highly rated Como youngster Nicolás Paz is recovering from a knee problem and is under the close observation of Argentina’s medical staff.

From a positional standpoint, the injuries that will realistically open the door for Buendia are those affecting Nicolas Gonzalez, Thiago Almada and Nicolas Paz.

Buendia’s profile fits that mold far more naturally than Leandro Paredes’ role. His absence will likely be covered by more defensive or central midfield options.

Messi is another theoretical possibility given the areas of the pitch he dominates, although replacing the Argentina captain is a unique challenge.

Another layer of uncertain heat

The update comes during an already uncertain period for Buendia. His contract at Aston Villa expires in June 2027, leaving the club with decisions to make in the coming months.

Turkish reports have linked him to Possible interest from Galatasaray. Meanwhile, Buendia himself recently admitted that Future Steps Towards River Plate A personal ambition remains.

However, thinking about transfers may have to wait for now.

Buendia was looking forward to the summer break after missing out on World Cup selection. Instead, if Argento’s latest claims are true, he has been instructed to keep his shoes on and his phone nearby.

Aston Villa UD are interested in bringing Almeria’s Dion Lopi to Villa Park.

After finishing fourth this season and winning the Europa League, the Villans qualified for the Champions League.

Aston Villa look to further improve Unai Emery’s squad and are also eyeing the Spanish market this summer.

The Premier League team’s interest in a defensive midfielder is not new. In 2023, Sport Witness broadcast news Effort from Emery, but he left Stade Reims for Spanish club.

Last summer, we Covered claims from Spain Everton interested but did not secure a deal.

Aston Villa has already advanced

Senegal international is back on Aston Villa’s radar voice of almeria Cover the latest.

His development at the Segunda División side did not go unnoticed. Aston Villa see the 24-year-old as a player for both the present and the future.

Unai Emery spent two years at UD Almería between 2006 and 2008 and in his final season he had Felipe Melo at his side. Manager Dion sees Lopi as the new Felipe Melo and is keen to acquire his services.

Aston Villa have submitted an initial offer of €17m. This is less than his team’s expectation of €20m.

At the same time, for the Spanish club from the second division, the interest of the Premier League side is attractive.

After missing out on promotion this season, Almería is looking to return to the top flight next year. The midfielder will have a key role to play while his summer sale could improve their finances.

Lopi could also be tempted to join Aston Villa, who could offer the Premier League and Champions League next season. In short, there is ‘European temptation amid the battle for promotion’.

If Aston Villa increases their offer slightly to €3m, it may be difficult for Almería and Lopi to turn down.

Contract, price and agent information

The midfielder’s contract is until 2029 and is worth €4m transfer market. The highest value was €10m in June 2024 after his first season at UD Almería.

aston villa success

Victor Nilsson Lindelof was a surprise signing for Aston Villa last summer, arriving on a free transfer after leaving Manchester United.

He has been at Old Trafford since 2017, but has struggled during his eight years there, with injuries limiting his impact under different managers.

However, Aston Villa planned to take him for free, as they wanted to strengthen Unai Emery’s options in a difficult summer transfer window.

The move proved smart as he became a utility player under the Spanish boss, finishing the campaign with 28 appearances and 1784 minutes in all competitions. 10 of them came in their successful Europa League campaign, where he also played as a midfielder.

No Allsvenskan move

His current deal expires next summer, but at the moment he is not interested in any talks about his future.

Asked about still playing for Aston Villa, he said: “Yeah, that’s the aim right now.”

“My body feels good, so I feel good. I’ve played with constant pain before, so being pain-free gives an extra boost.”

After this he put off the idea of ​​going to Allsvenskan in Sweden. Many Swedish players make such a move at the end of their careers, but the Aston Villa defender is not keen.

Asked about the idea, he said, “I don’t think so.”

“I don’t see myself coming home and playing in Allsvenskan. I’ve never played there, so it would be fun, but if I know myself right, I don’t think it’s possible.”

Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme has responded to claims he wants to target Manchester CityErling Haaland if he is elected.

Today Sport Cover Comments from RiquelmeWhen asked directly about a move for Haaland should he take charge at Real Madrid.

presidential campaign

For those who do not know, Enrique Riquelme intends to challenge Florentino Pérez for the presidency of Real Madrid this year.

He is currently preparing his candidacy, which will need endorsement and approval by Saturday to challenge the President.

His current focus is on that, but reports in Spain are already linking him to bigger plans to potentially succeed the election.

Manchester City on target

Sport Witness covered a similar report yesterday. It adds that Riquelme not only wants to appoint Jurgen Klopp as manager, but also sign Erling Haaland from Manchester City.

In fact, he and his team are reportedly in contact with Haaland representatives to discuss a possible move.

Now, speaking at the Cox shareholder meeting (he’s the company’s chairman), he’s been asked directly about those rumors. And he has not shied away from the idea of ​​signing the Manchester City striker.

“That’s the most enjoyable part after whether someone runs (for election) or not,” he said.

“The best players should be at Real Madrid. They always have been. The best will always want to come; this is the best club. So we need a candidacy that brings back transparency and good governance to attract talent, so that talent wants to come.

“Talents have to come to Real Madrid. The greatest club in history must have the best talents, and we have to provide the right conditions so that people feel comfortable within the club. So, yes, of course, all the talents in the world will be welcomed at Real Madrid.”

Manchester United, Manchester City And armory On their radar is Club Brugge star Christos Tzoulis.

The winger has been one of the standout players in the Jupiler Pro League this season. He scored 21 goals and provided 28 assists in 51 matches, helping his team win the title.

This included a goal and an assist in Thursday’s 2-2 draw against KV Mechelen and the points helped Club Brugge secure the title.

His performances have drawn attention from several clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal.

Last week, Sports Witness Claims covered from Belgium That Aston Villa and especially the Red Devils made contact. The source said Club Brugge want more than €36m so that could be their new record sale.

The latest claims from the UK list Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea as suitors.

Star not ruling out PL trio

After the draw against KV Mechelen, DAZN Belgium Interviewed the Club Brugge star duo of Christos Tzoulis and Hans Vanaken.

DAZN took over xon what was formerly known as Twitter, to share a clip of the Greece international talking about his future.

Patro Eisden’s manager Stijn Stijnen works as a consultant for the channel. He specifically asked the player: “What will this Christos be? Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal.” Stijn’s co-panelists immediately jumped in, saying that all of these names had been in the press.

Responding to that he said: “I don’t know. It’s up to Club Brugge. It’s not up to me to decide.”

“We will see what is the best option for me. It is not just about the name. We also have to ask ourselves what is the best project.”

“Why not stay at Club Brugge? I have a contract until 2029. I’m a professional. I have to respect my team. The team that pays me. I’m here to celebrate. Then we’ll see about our future. It’s still early. Today, I have to celebrate. It’s my day off.”

Tzlois has already opened the door for a PL move

Last summer, Crystal Palace were keen to sign him and even offered €32m, but Club Brugge turned it down.

earlier this year, Christos Tzolis confirmed The Eagles proposed and said he was ready to join them.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal or any other Premier League side would have to offer a concrete project to secure his services.

Greeley’s contract expires in 2029 and his value, accordingly transfer marketIs €30m.

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson revealed on Monday that the “majorly driven talent” in WWE was asked and accepted to take a significant pay cut. The news came a day before Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were moved to WWE’s alumni section following their reported mutual departure from the company following a contract restructuring request.

“[We were] Reportedly a highly pushed talent was asked to take a 50% pay cut, and allegedly did so,” Johnson wrote. ”I’m not naming the genius because I have no way of yet confirming that this was the case, but the timing of that claim and what happened the next day was very interesting to say the least.”

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp said on X that several talents were asked to take pay cuts by WWE, although he did not specify which names were included.

Keeping all this in mind, let’s guess which famous star has accepted the pay cut rumor recently.

la night

LA Knight is the most obvious, seeing his decline over the last few years and not being used as often as he used to. Knight can stick with WWE for a few more years, be used as they see fit, and that will pay off his bank account. WWE might also know that Knight does not want to leave from there and go anywhere else.

logan paul

While this may be a reach, Logan Paul fits the bill as he has gone from being a guy in the mix in top tier storylines to now being involved in a tag team with Austin Theory. Money is not an issue for him, and he would probably do WWE for free at this point because of his love for the sport.

belle

Bayley likes wrestling and WWE. If the company comes to her asking for a pay cut, we can see her being happy to do so because she absolutely loves her job and coworkers. He is seen in regular roles on TV, although he is no longer the main announcer. Maybe Bailey is also thinking of big plans and is aiming to establish a job in the company after leaving the job.

The Miz

The Miz has been in WWE for two decades and has earned his keep, as well as being secure in whatever role WWE has asked him to play. He has fame and legacy. Now he wants to help young talents learn. He’s a good fit for the company, but he probably has a bigger contract than he’s used to. After the wrestling is over, he’s probably also thinking about the bigger picture and the work backstage.

Andrea Cambiaso has been linked with a move before Manchester City And armory Now in the mix for Defender.

sports witness The saga involving the civilians was covered extensively last year. Pep Guardiola’s side looked serious and made early contact, but Juve remained highly rated.

Since then, things have been up and down. He struggled earlier in the campaign, but improved under Luciano Spalletti and has been a key player in recent weeks.

Arsenal’s interest in the defender is growing, with the Gunners appearing keen on a move.

The valuation is now clear

alljuve The report states that Arsenal’s move is in the early stages, with the outlet seemingly indicating an initial contact. It has been hinted that things could move forward, even if Juve are not keen to make a sale.

Spalletti considers Cambiasso an important part of his squad, but the Old Lady are currently valued at €60m. This would give them massive capital gains and enough money to sign a replacement.

The sale could be crucial for the Bianconeri, especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. They are currently fourth in the table but were fifth last week.

So far, Arsenal have not been able to exceed €40m, but they will have to move to have the chance to sign him.

Our opinion: Deal would make sense for the Gunners

Cambiasso can fill multiple positions due to his versatility. He has played wide on both sides before, and has performed equally well at full-back. At Bologna and Genoa, he also played centrally.

This makes him a useful player who adds a lot of value to any team. Maybe that’s why Manchester City wanted him.

The current price is probably a bit high, given the circumstances. This was very low last summer and that is why Arsenal should demand a discount.

Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nathaniel Brown does not want to discuss the topic of a transfer this summer. armory, Manchester City And others are curious.

In fact, when asked about the interest from Arsenal and Manchester City, he was straight to the point. He is well aware that the Premier League’s top two players are keeping a close eye on him.

Speaking to Sportbild todayThe 22-year-old was clear about reports linking him to both clubs. But he will not be involved in any transfer speculation in the near future.

“Yes, you pick up on things like that, but it doesn’t affect me. I’m focused on the goals that are under my control. I’m not interested in anything else at the moment.” He said.

€65m transfer fee

Reports have linked Arsenal and Manchester City with a possible move for Nathaniel Brown since November last year.

Sport Witness has covered this extensively, Including original report. There has also been encouragement for this step. A report last month said Arsenal and Manchester City Even at a €60m valuation, that would be a great deal.

This has now increased to €65m, despite Transfermarkt currently valuing the left-back at €35m. The €65 million price tag would make Brown the most expensive left-back ever, alongside Chelsea’s Mark Cucurella.

This was said to him, but he insisted that his focus was only on his game and not breaking transfer records.

“It’s a really staggering amount. But to be clear, I’m not giving numbers like that, or the possibility of a transfer this summer, a second thought,” He added.

“I’m completely focused on Eintracht and our goal of qualifying for Europe. And after that, I would really love to be part of the World Cup squad. Then, I’ll see what happens in the summer. It’s hard to make plans in football, that’s why I don’t focus on it.”

Summer transfer possibility

Although Nathaniel Brown may not want to talk about it, the reality is that a summer transfer is a possibility.

Eintracht Frankfurt have been inconsistent, but not overdone. He has become one of the Bundesliga’s standout young full-backs with his combination of athleticism, composure and maturity despite his age.

There’s a reason why teams like Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid are showing interest in him. Brown’s name is clearly floating around the top of recruiting lists. And he is conscious of it, even if he refuses to add fuel to the fire.

25 years old growing up and Africa Foot Now covering the latest on Tottenham Hotspur and PSV Eindhoven’s stance.

The Premier League team has endured a difficult season and now sits one point above the relegation zone. New Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi will have his first game in charge against Sunderland on Sunday.

His immediate task is to help the north London club remain in the top flight. Additionally, Spurs have started work on reshaping the Italian team in the next window.

Tottenham entered the race for Ismail Saibari, ‘inspired by internal recommendations that align with Roberto De Zerbi’s playing philosophy.’

Bayern Munich are keeping a close eye on the player while Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid are also in the picture.

Tottenham will have to battle it out with a number of clubs to secure the player’s services, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up next season.

The Spain-born Morocco international is expected to receive offers in the summer and the Dutch club would be open to a sale.

PSV Eindhoven had initially set a price tag of €40m and have now increased it to €50m following his impressive performances. As of now, it is not clear whether any of his suitors is ready to meet his demand or not.

Ismail Saibari’s contract at PSV Eindhoven will expire in 2029 transfer market He is worth €32 million.

HCM Sports Management, headed by agent Hasan Cetinkaya, is representing the star. His client list includes players like Arsenal striker Victor Gyöckeres, Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, AS Monaco’s Magnus Akliouche and many others.

of leeds united Maximilian Wobber is struggling while on loan at Werder Bremen.

The Premier League side let the Austria international join Borussia Mönchengladbach on loan in July 2023. Gladbach did not extend his stay and the defender returned to Leeds United.

They played under the orders of Daniel Farke in the Championship last season, but were relegated upon their return to the top flight.

Last summer, the 28-year-old joined Werder Bremen on loan with an option to buy and the move was a disaster.

Wobber made his Werder Bremen debut in a DFB-Pokal defeat to Arminia Bielefeld in August. He played 79 minutes and had to leave the field with a hamstring injury.

The setback forced him to spend the rest of last year on the sidelines. In January, he took part in a friendly against FC St. Pauli and suffered another setback.

On 9 March, the player became owned by Leeds United Confirmed muscle tear This year he is being kept away from action. In short, he has not made any official appearances since August.

Werder Bremen’s stance on Leeds United man

deich stubeA website that dedicates its coverage to the Bundesliga side, talks about the purchase option.

Due to injuries to Maximilian Wobber, it is ‘highly unlikely’ for Werder Bremen to extend his stay beyond this season. The outlet has also interviewed Werder Bremen sporting director Clemens Fritz.

When the white man was asked about his future apart from his debt, he said: “We haven’t discussed yet what will happen in the summer.”

Last season, the defender played 395 minutes in nine matches for Leeds United. The German club were aware of the gamble of signing him on loan and their plan ‘doesn’t even come close to working yet.’

The director hopes to see the player in action before the end of this season.

“We will gradually increase his workload and hope he can still play for us this season. He is not yet a substitute for the game in Cologne [on Sunday]” Fritz explained.

What’s next for the Leeds United defender?

As things stand, Werder Bremen are highly unlikely to extend the Austrian’s stay.

In the summer, Maximilian Wobber will return to Elland Road, where he has a contract until 2027. transfer market He is worth €3 million.

The next window will be Leeds United’s last chance to achieve his sale.

PSV Eindhoven star Ismail Saibari should consider a transfer Tottenham Hotspur This summer, as he has now done as much as possible in the Eredivisie.

Voetbal Primeur covered comments by Khaled Boulahrouz Today about the 25-year-old forward. He believes that now is the time for the Moroccan people to move on to pastures new.

Saibari has been the star man for PSV since breaking into their first team in 2022, having previously come through the U21 set up.

Since then he has scored 41 goals and recorded 29 assists in 140 games for the club and played a key role in back-to-back Eredivisie titles. He has 18 goals and nine assists in 34 games this season.

This led many to urge that he should move on. For example, Aston Villa have been encouraged to make a move for him.

Boulahrouz recommends Tottenham transfer

Now, it appears that Boulahrouz feels it is time for a change. And he is recommending a move to Tottenham despite their current struggles.

“A lot of players would want to make a move, but probably nothing that would make you think I’m going to trade PSV for it,” he said on Rondo.

“When I look at Saibari: he has definitely played the Eredivisie. If you look at his statistics and his playing style: it’s good enough to make a transfer.

“He’s a Moroccan international, he’s got the Africa Cup behind him, and he’s going to play in the World Cup. Assuming he’s a starter and plays two good matches, you’ve just got to move on. Then you have to move on.

“I’m just curious what kind of club will come. He needs to go to an attacking team where he can come into his own. A good club: they are not in a good position at all, but he could add something extra to Tottenham Hotspur. I would go to a club where he could be important.”

Would it make sense for Tottenham?

The question is whether a move to Tottenham would make sense this summer. It’s easy to see Ismail Saibari fitting in under Roberto De Zerbi, but he already has plenty of options in the same position.

Xavi Simmons was an expensive addition last summer; James Maddison is still at the club and Dejan Kulusevski will return from injury next season as well.

Even further forward, Mathis Tell, Richarlison and Dominic Solanke are competing for places. A player currently valued at €32m would likely require a departure before a transfer could be considered.

This is even before considering their battle to stay in the Premier League. This is the main focus at the moment before the transfer is implemented. Boulahrouz has made his recommendation either way.

For those who enjoy Maxi Araújo performances…

Scouts from both Tottenham and Chelsea are keeping an eye on him tonight along with several other Premier League clubs. https://t.co/7x9YQxcN4S

• Duel won: 3.1

His performances may have been noticed by Arsenal, Leeds United, Real Madrid and many other clubs.

Arsenal and Leeds United respond to links

Last month, Sports Witness Covered claims from Germany That both Arsenal and Daniel Farke are pursuing him. Bild said that Leeds United are particularly keen to acquire his services in the summer.

Daniel Svensson is currently with Sweden for the ongoing international break, and it delivered soccer channel Opportunity to interact with him. Last week, he came off the bench in Sweden’s 3–1 win over Ukraine in a World Cup qualifier.

The first part of the interview is about this clash, and the rest is on BVB and transfer links.

As things stand, he doesn’t want to change clubs after this season.

“No, I wouldn’t say that. I’m really happy at Dortmund. I haven’t been there that long. I feel like I have a lot more to do there. I’m really happy to be there.” He said.

Expressen recently said that Real Madrid scouts had seen him playing for Borussia Dortmund, but he was not aware of it.

“To be honest, I haven’t heard anything about it. I don’t have anything to say about it. Because I don’t know anything about it. It’s not something I’m thinking about. But obviously it’s fun.” Swenson explained.

Fotbollskanalen specifically points to Bild’s reports on Arsenal and Leeds United and asks if a summer move is on the cards.

“I’m just focused on Dortmund. I’m right there and I’m really enjoying it. It’s not something I pay any attention to. We have important games left in the season.” He added.

Stephen Curry is currently dealing with a knee injury, which has kept him out of the Golden State Warriors’ last 19 games. Although it is unclear exactly when he will return, head coach Steve Kerr is optimistic that he will return before the end of the season. Still, after Curry was out, the Dubs’ troubles continued, as they lost another game on Wednesday night, a 120–99 loss on the road to the Boston Celtics.

However, some fans may be desperate to see Curry back in action. In fact, one fan in attendance at TD Garden on Wednesday was so desperate to get Curry’s attention that he crossed a line – pulling the Warriors star towards him, causing Curry to face a confused concussion.

This action of the fan did not go unpunished. the man who drew curry asked to leave game, which is the perfect job to maintain the safety of NBA superstars.

Someone in the Boston crowd pulled Steph Curry’s hand, and that person was asked to leave 😳

– ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) 19 March 2026

It’s not exactly clear what was going through that fan’s mind, because doing something like this would never go unnoticed and he would not be punished. They paid good money to see the Warriors take on the Celtics, but that doesn’t give them the right to do whatever they want.

The Warriors miss Stephen Curry a lot

Curry is the engine that powers the Warriors’ offense, and over the last 19 games, everything has been rough for Golden State. With Curry out, their net rating has dropped to almost minus-four, and it has led to their decline in the West standings.

What the Dubs are doing amid Curry’s injury is admirable, as many have tried to get Golden State a few wins here and there. But without Curry, the Warriors could reach a point of no comeback, which would be a sad way to go out for this team.

HSV Hamburg will ask for a waiver from Arsenal so they can sign Fabio Vieira on a permanent basis this summer.

This is according to the sport build. The German newspaper reports that the HSV is working on a ‘Viera coup’ this summer. The belief is that the chances of finding it are good.

Vieira has flourished in Hamburg this season under manager Merlin Polzin. He joined the German side on loan in the summer transfer window as part of a double deal with Arsenal.

The second half of the season was particularly fruitful, with Vieira directly involved in almost half of Hamburg’s goals. That’s four out of nine.

HSV are growing increasingly confident about the 25-year-old, they would love to keep him. And there is a chance that Vieira does not want to return to England or Arsenal. In fact, he believes Bundesliga football suits him better.

what happens next

HSV plan to discuss his future with him in March or at the latest in April. The bigger problem is the €20m buyout clause included in the loan from Arsenal. The German club will have to do this exercise between mid-May and mid-June at the most.

Arsenal had insisted on this clause during talks last year. The Gunners initially wanted to include it as a liability. HSV rejected this because the financial risk was too great should Vieira not perform.

However, they only had 48 hours to complete the deal, and negotiated hard to change it from an obligation to a clause. The belief now is that they hold the cards.

€20m is probably beyond their means either way. But that doesn’t mean the Hamburg club has no chance. They know that Vieira and his family feel at home in Hamburg.

The midfielder has been impressed by Polzin and his staff, who have helped him get back to his best. He also has very trusting relationships with high level people at the club. Even the love shown by HSV fans did not go unnoticed. In short, he loves life in the club.

If he gives a strong commitment to the club, it will help in negotiations with Arsenal. HSV require Arsenal to lower their asking price to €8-10 million. They can afford a fee of €10-12m for Vieira this summer.

A meeting is planned with his agents Vieira and Gestifute. On a positive note, Arsenal sporting director Andrea Burta has a good relationship with the Portuguese agency. That might be helpful.

He had already made concessions to HSV in the initial loan deal last summer. Now he is expected to do so again, with Vieira perhaps looking to make the move permanent.

In the last few weeks, sports witness Inter Milan have covered Arsenal’s interest in talent Francesco Pio Esposito.

Talk of the Gunners’ interest in the striker has increased since he played against them in the Champions League. The Italian did not score but remained a constant threat as Inter lost 3–1 at San Siro.

Arteta is a big fan of the Italian language

This led Berta to immediately contact Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio. The Arsenal representative inquired about whether Pio Esposito is for sale and his asking price.

The Nerazzurri’s response was brief and firm, making it clear there was no room for negotiation.

They see the Italy international as an important part of their future and have no intention of selling him. This put an end to any possibility of Arsenal signing the player.

pio esposito is shining

Inter’s response is no surprise, given how quickly Pio Esposito has progressed.

He was the Serie B Player of the Season during the 2024/25 campaign, when he was loaned to Spezia. The 20-year-old already has three goals for the Azzurri.

Instead, Holmgren discussed the injuries the Nuggets have experienced this season, much like the Thunder’s injury-plagued campaign.

“Denver has some different players on the roster who have taken some steps this summer,” Holmgren said. “They were a really good team last year. They’re a really good team this year. They’ve had some injuries, as we have, as everybody in the league has. Hopefully, they can get those guys back, and we can get all our guys back. At the end of the day, every team wants to be completely healthy and playing at their best. So, that’s what we’re hoping for.”

The Nuggets were without All-Star Nikola Jokic for more than a month. The Thunder have been missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the last five games. Oklahoma City has also struggled with injuries to Jalen Williams, who has missed 30+ games this season; starting center Isaiah Hartenstein, who has missed 16 games; And Ajay Mitchell, who has been out since January 21.

Chet Holmgren reacts to the new All-Star Game

Thunder forward Chet Holmgren discusses the new All-Star Game format after making his debut in the star-studded event. Holmgren reflected on career milestones.

Holmgren said, “I thought it was good. I thought everybody out there was playing a good brand of basketball.” “It felt like, I guess you would say, a pick-up game, and when there’s that level of talent on the field, it’s always fun, it’s always good.”

He also talked about the ring he received for his All-Star selection, which was unexpected for Holmgren.

Holmgren said, “It was pretty cool. I didn’t know you could get an All-Star ring until I got it.” “So, it was pretty cool. It comes with a little box with a little video in it. It’s too bad, but I think I like our ring from last year a little more.”

Holmgren says he treasures the moment of his first All-Star Game.

“I definitely tried to take a moment during pictures yesterday and then warming up and playing the game today and think what a great opportunity this is,” Holmgren said. “I felt like I was beautiful most of the time. Just taking it all in.”

Holmgren and the Thunder resume their regular season schedule when they host the Nets on Friday.

Eberl Vuckovic responds to the link

As well as the Tottenham player, Inter Milan’s Yan Aurel Bisek and Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbach are also reportedly on Bayern Munich’s list.

Sport1 specifically named these three players and asked Eberle if Bayern Munich needed to make space to sign one of them.

“We have reached the point where we are no longer under pressure regarding squad planning. We can calmly decide what happens next. Of course, we are still keeping an eye on the market. We will certainly not rule out any option that would benefit Bayern.” He said.

The director said the renewal of Upamecano gives Bayern Munich an edge if they decide to sign another centre-back.

Eberle explained: “I’m someone who finalizes my team’s plan early on. I managed to do the same at Mönchengladbach, at Leipzig and, coincidentally, here at Bayern. Everything was done by mid-July, before preseason training started.

“When Kingsley Coman asked for his release, which we eventually gave, we had to fight for Nicholas Jackson until the last day. It wasn’t ideal, but these things can happen. With the contract extension with Upa, we can now go into the summer transfer window with a clear plan.”
