wolves This may have been the last time the door was publicly closed on Rodrigo Gomes’ move. However, recent developments in Portugal have made the picture increasingly complex. This is especially true tottenham Now entering the scene.

last summer, report from portugal Wolves are said to view the winger as part of their long-term plans. But since then a lot of water has flowed under the bridge. Wolves are headed for another squad makeover for next season’s Championship campaign.

The fact is that Rodrigo Gomes finished the season with five goals in 27 appearances for Wolves, playing just over 1,100 minutes in all competitions during his first year in English football. This is an interesting output.

in that respect, game Now it is claimed that Spurs are also keeping an eye on the 22-year-old player. Additionally, Rodrigo has avoided giving any guarantees about staying at Molineux following relegation from the Championship.

That combination has instantly changed the mood regarding the player’s future.

The exit is taking shape

Until now, most of the noise was around Rodrigo Gomes Interest from Portuguese clubs. The increased level of attention around Tottenham reflected in the story could lead to a very different market landscape later in the summer.

Speaking about his future, the Portugal U21 international admitted he still hasn’t decided what’s next.

“I still haven’t spoken to my agent. If I stay, I promise to give everything to help Wolves return to the Premier League.” He said.

In Portugal, he “If” This was immediately interpreted as leaving the door open for a possible move.

tottenham link gains weight

The emergence of Tottenham is the latest news here. Indeed Spurs are expected to look for more attacking depth this summer, particularly players who can operate in multiple roles.

Rodrigo Gomes fits that profile quite naturally. He is still only 22, can play wide or deep on the flank, and already has experience in both Portuguese football and the Premier League.

Even despite relegation, Wolves reportedly still strongly believe its long-term potential.

Wolves may soon face pressure

For now, Wolves are still expected to try to hold a strong line. Last year, the club refused to sell Rodrigo Gomes and would only consider an “irresistible” offer. However, demotion always changes the dynamics around a team.

If Premier League clubs start to make more of a push – and with Tottenham’s name now linked to the player making sense here – Wolves could find themselves under increasing pressure before the window closes.

Rodrigo’s own comments have already added uncertainty to the situation, even if he has stopped short of actively pushing for the door.

West Ham United’s interest in Matthias Martinelli has remained consistent in recent months. However, the Premier League club is still some way away from Fluminense’s expectations.

Earlier this year, the Hammers joined other sides in the dedication Offers worth around €12m (£10.2m). Those approaches were rejected without negotiation, as Fluminense made it clear that the midfielder would not move to that level.

Since then, the position on the Brazilian side has only strengthened. Martinelli signs a new contract until 2030With a release clause set at €30m (£25.6m). In parallel, the club has outlined a strategy to delay any sale until after the World Cup, in the hope that his value will further increase.

Against that backdrop, the Brazilian’s latest update adds another layer to West Ham’s challenge.

raises the internal target bar

according to DayFluminense are now lining up a minimum expectation of €20m (£17.1m) for Martinelli.

This figure is not yet the formal asking price. Still, it shows the internal range required for one of their key players to begin negotiations.

The same report states that Fluminense is targeting more than R$218m in player sales for 2026. Converted, that represents approximately €40m (£34.2m). As a result, any major departures should contribute significantly to that total.

Martinelli is currently the most valuable asset in that scheme. He has played over 300 matches for the club and remains a central figure in midfield. Therefore, there is no pressure on the board to compromise.

The gap remains clear for West Ham

For West Ham, the numbers now align in a simple way. Their previous offer: €12m (£10.2m). Fluminense’s internal expectation: €20m (£17.1m). This leaves a gap of €8m (£6.9m) before negotiations can begin.

Crucially, this sits below the €30m (£25.6m) release clause agreed in the most recent renewal. This shows that Fluminense still has room to raise the price, especially if the player gets more exposure with Brazil.

Furthermore, Matthäus Martinelli has Expressed desire to play in Europe at some stage. However, he wants the move to suit both his career and the club.

So interest alone will not be enough for West Ham. The financial gap remains significant, and the player’s position continues to strengthen.

If the Hammers want to test Fluminense’s resolve again, they will have to move closer to that €20m (£17.1m) mark – and possibly even further.

The NBA MVP conversation has primarily revolved around last season’s winner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, three-time recipient Nikola Jokic and Defensive Player of the Year favorite Victor Wembanyama, but Luka Doncic is forcing voters to accept his candidacy. The five-time All-NBA First-Team selection has been amazing as the Los Angeles Lakers continue their eight-game winning streak. Perhaps his latest masterpiece will make people reevaluate their awards chances.

A day after scoring 40 points against the Houston Rockets, Doncic paced the Miami Heat with 60 points on 18-of-30 shooting in a 134-126 road win on Thursday. Despite the team’s late arrival to South Beach (or early, depending on who you ask), the 27-year-old guard displayed the best offense he has to offer. He also totaled seven rebounds and five steals, showing his continued impact on the court.

Amid a spectacular March in which he scored 327 points over an eight-game span, Doncic is raising an important question. Why isn’t he getting more attention in the MVP race? Lakers head coach JJ Redick replied.

“Because he complains to the refs, I don’t know,” he said in the postgame press conference, according to the NBA Courtside X account. One might speculate that Redic might be being sarcastic, but it’s not so absurd to think that Doncic’s reactionary behavior earns him a certain level of support from fans and writers.

The 2023-24 scoring champion is one of the worst offenders when it comes to irritating the officials about no-calls. Instead of creating ruckus in the court, he will repeatedly argue his point heatedly. Doncic has improved in this area recently, but he remains under intense scrutiny due to his many blowups.

However, if he maintains his current level throughout the remainder of the campaign, even an ill-timed expression of emotion may not be enough to rule him out. Doncic was averaging an NBA-leading 33.0 points a game with 8.5 assists, 7.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals entering Thursday’s contest with the Heat. He’s shooting 36.6 percent from 3-point range, burying opponents with a step-back jumper that seems unstoppable at times.

Most importantly, No. 77’s stellar numbers are carrying his team forward. The Lakers are currently in third place in the Western Conference with a 45–25 record. If they continue to win games, Luka Doncic may have a legitimate chance to snatch the MVP crown from Gilgeous-Alexander’s head.

Earlier this month, Sheffield Wednesday allowed Yann Valery to join Young Boys on loan until the end of the season.

The Tunisia international made his debut for Young Boys when he came off the bench in a defeat to FC St. Gallen on 11 February.

Last weekend, the Sheffield Wednesday player played the full 90 minutes and provided two assists in a 6–1 win over FC Winterthur.

Friday edition of blick Looks at how the right-back can help the Swiss club and discusses his future beyond this season.

Why did the Owls approve the loan move?

Valeri played regularly under Henrik Pedersen and has made 23 Championship appearances for the Owls this season.

The English club is struggling financially and is in the process of finding a new owner.

Blick claims that Valeri is one of Sheffield Wednesday’s top earners and his exit will at least allow them to shed part of his wages.

The newspaper believes that this move will also benefit them from the sporting point of view and will improve their chances of making it to the World Cup. Whether this is the case or not remains to be seen.

Good start for Sheffield Wednesday loanee

He provided two assists in their previous win, and credited his new teammates for helping him settle in.

“The team gave me a great welcome. It made my first game a lot easier. The two assists were just a bonus,” He said.

Before joining Sheffield Wednesday, the fullback worked in England with Southampton. During his time at St Mary’s, the Saints sent him on loan to Birmingham City. It is believed that his previous difficult experience in England will help the Young Boys now.

“I learned this in England. But I have known it since I was a child. Later, I also experienced the battle of exile on the island,” Valerie explained.

As things stand, the Tunisian is set to return to Sheffield Wednesday at the end of his loan spell. The Owls are bottom of the table, and are unlikely to play in League One next season.

This will give Young Boys a chance to retain him beyond this season. However, Blick has warned that if he continues to shine, there could be more clubs queuing up to sign him.

The newspaper suggests the price could rise if ‘powerful Championship clubs make serious offers’.
