Everton’s interest in Doumbia

The record states that Sporting has shown ‘readiness’ in completing the contract with the Venezia star. The Lions are aware of the existence of competitors, mainly from England. Thus, they want to ensure the signing as soon as possible.

However, this is proving difficult as Venezia wants to take advantage of the fact that there are multiple interested parties.

Italians know Issa Doumbia too Is being targeted by Newcastle, Everton and Brentford. They want to use it to help ‘fill their coffers with as large a sum as possible’.

Doumbia, for his part, would be keen on a move to Sporting. He wants to follow in the footsteps of many players who developed at the club and then achieved great progress in Europe.

Toffee needs to move soon

One said the same thing. According to their information, Issa Doumbia is a priority for Sporting this summer.

There are going to be new talks for them in the coming days. However, his initial €15m asking price is set to rise due to interest from England.

According to the newspaper, both Everton and Newcastle are offering ‘strong competition’ for the midfielder. Their interest could push his valuation closer to €20m this summer. However, neither party has yet initiated negotiations with Venezia.

This gives Sporting an advantage that they want to exploit. They have already begun negotiations and are awaiting the signing of the midfielder on a five-year deal. He is also confident about going to Portugal.

But the Premier League is also keen and might be able to tempt him. However, Everton and others need to make an offer first.

Chelsea and Newcastle United are set to sign Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel in a summer transfer.

The Switzerland international’s move to the Bundesliga side has not gone unnoticed as the Blues only showed interest last summer.

In April 2025, Sport Witness Covered Claims Told the German that Chelsea is serious about him.

Two months later, the stopper said that his love for the BVB fans convinced him to stay despite interest from the west London club.

That time, He said: : “Everyone knows I feel extremely comfortable at Dortmund. I love the fans, the stadium, the club and the atmosphere. Everyone knows it and sees it when I’m on the pitch. I really appreciate it.”

Chelsea and Newcastle United target Cobble transfer

March is fast approaching and the 28-year-old is back on the agenda for Liam Rosenior’s side and this time, Newcastle United have joined them in the transfer race.

is according to foot marketWho cover Chelsea and the Magpies’ interest in Gregor Kobel.

English clubs are ‘tracking’ the stopper and could fight to bring him to the Premier League in the summer.

Bayern Munich are also in the mix, along with the Blues and Eddie Howe’s team. The Bavarian club are considering the Borussia Dortmund star as a replacement for 40-year-old Manuel Neuer.

The Swiss left VfB Stuttgart in 2021 and moved to Signal Iduna Park and has remained number 1 ever since. Since joining BVB, he has been a top-tier stopper in Europe, which has generated interest in him.

Foot Mercato, who clarify that this is their own information, report that Cobell could take the ‘next step’ in his career after this season. It remains to be seen whether this will lead to a move to England or Bayern Munich.

His Bundesliga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 27
• Start: 27
• Target allowed: 28
• Clean sheets: 12

transfer market He is worth €40 million. With a contract until 2028, the German club could demand more than his current valuation. Without renewal there will be pressure to transfer in the summer.

Foot Mercato established him as one of Europe’s leading goalkeepers.

Chelsea and Newcastle United can improve

The Blues have Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen and Gabriel Slonina as their three stoppers at Stamford Bridge. The Spaniard lost his place in the starting lineup to Jorgensen at the start of the season, before regaining his place.

Both goalkeepers have failed to fully convince Chelsea, who may keep an eye on Gregor Cobel. This might be possible if Mike Penders or Dorsey Petrovic [both out on loan] Will not be considered.

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe has Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale and Mark Gillespie at St James’ Park. The contract of the former expires in 2027 while the contract of the latter is till this June.

Pope’s mixed performances led the Newcastle United coach to rely on Ramsdale, who is on loan from Southampton.

Considering the status of the trio, the Borussia Dortmund star could easily become the Magpies’ new No. 1 next season.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis is still learning the game within the game in his second year in the NBA. They got a tough lesson in their loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.

In the second quarter, Buzelis started talking to Lakers guard Luka Doncic, hoping to get him off his game. However, it had the opposite effect. Doncic became excited and counterattacked Buzelis and scored 12 consecutive points.

From there it was all disappointment for the Bulls, as the Lakers won 142–130. Doncic finished with season highs of 51 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.

After the game, the 21-year-old Bouzelis admitted that his biggest takeaway was to never talk trash about Doncic again, though he also displayed his mentality.

“Obviously, when I started talking to him he started hitting. But I don’t back down from anybody. It doesn’t matter who you are. I accepted the challenge, but it didn’t work out,” Bouzelis said in a video posted by Chicago Sports Network.

“I don’t back down from anyone. No matter who you are.”

Despite the tough lessons, Bouzelis played well, scoring 22 points, including four three-pointers, six rebounds, two steals and two blocks.

The Bulls fell to 27–39, while the Lakers improved to 41–25.

Doncic said that Bouzelis “woke me up”, adding that he was surprised that the young forward was chirping at him.

His mask may look innocent, but the six-time All-Star is notorious for running his mouth. Doncic has stunned several players, including Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn.

As the Miami Heat are dealing with an upcoming make-or-break week with the start of the season home stretch, there is a big update regarding the situation with Terry Rozier. Since this has been an unprecedented situation with the Heat and Rozier, there are many who believe the team should receive compensation, and that’s what happened on Monday.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets are giving Miami a second-round pick in 2026 to “resolve a dispute” over the position with Rozier. The Heat traded Kyle Lowry for Rozier in the first round on January 23, 2024, before that season’s trade deadline.

Although this appears to be the resolution of the dispute, Rozier is still on Miami’s books as his status continues to come to light after being arrested by the federal government due to gambling ties at the beginning of the season. According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, this would be “more favorable”, considering a second-round pick.

“The 2026 second-round selection the Heat will receive from the Hornets is more favorable to Golden State and Denver’s second-round selections,” Chiang wrote.

No lawsuit from the Heat was ever planned

While there were rumors about the Heat and Rozier as to what the next step would be for the team, there was some speculation about whether the team would file a lawsuit. Mostly, due to the league and Charlotte reportedly not telling Miami about possible gambling connections, the NBA conducted its own investigation of Rozier while he was with Charlotte.

However, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald would say that “Lawsuit was never an option” and that the second-round pick is “the final development on the case”.

Jackson further stated, “The Hornets never told the Heat that they knew Rozier was under investigation at the time of the trade, but there was no specific NBA rule against it.” “The Heat will send a lottery-protected first-rounder in 2027 to the Hornets. If the Heat miss the playoffs next season, Miami will retain its 2027 first-rounder and send a 2028 first-rounder to Charlotte.”

At any rate, the Heat are focused on extending their five-game winning streak with next Tuesday’s game against the Washington Wizards.
