The Denver Nuggets are expected to get a key reinforcement ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, with guard Peyton Watson on track to return to the lineup after a lengthy absence.

Denver (43-28) hosts Portland (35-36) at 2:00 pm PT on NBA TV as the regular season enters a critical phase. The Nuggets currently hold the fifth seed in the Western Conference standings and are tied with the Houston Rockets (42-27) for fourth place, making each remaining game increasingly important for postseason positioning.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Watson is expected to return after missing more than six weeks with a hamstring injury.

“Denver’s Peyton Watson is expected to return Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers after missing more than 6 weeks due to a hamstring strain. Watson has had a breakout year for the Nuggets, averaging career-highs 14.9 points, 30.7 minutes and 4.9 rebounds, along with 2 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1 steal per game,” sources told ESPN.

Watson, 23, has emerged as a major contributor during the 2025-26 season, producing career-bests across the board. Through 49 games, including 39 starts, he has averaged 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, two assists, 1.2 blocks and one steal per game, while shooting an efficient 49.6% from the field and 41.7% from three-point range in 30.7 minutes per contest.

Peyton Watson’s return will boost Nuggets vs. Blazers at crucial juncture

His last appearance came on February 4 in a 134–127 double-overtime loss to the New York Knicks. In that game, Watson recorded 10 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block while shooting 4 of 13 from the field and 1 of 6 from beyond the arc during 33 minutes.

Watson’s return provides a timely boost for a Denver team that is trying to solidify its position in the tightly contested Western Conference. His two-way versatility, perimeter defense and improved scoring efficiency have played a key role in the Nuggets’ success this season.

As Denver prepares to face a competitive Portland team that is still within reach of a postseason picture, Watson’s availability could prove vital in maintaining momentum and strengthening the team’s rotation heading into the final stretch of the regular season.

Arsenal are ready to make an offer to sign Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali in the summer.

The Italy international arrived at St James’ Park from AC Milan in July 2023 and missed the majority of his first season due to suspension.

He played 104 matches for Newcastle United, scoring 10 goals and 10 assists. Arsenal want to move him away from the Premier League team after this season.

The midfielder has three goals and seven assists in 3,520 minutes in 47 appearances for Newcastle United this season and his Premier League statistics per game are below.

• Main pass: 0.9
• Duel won: 3.1
• Intercept: 0.9
• Tackle: 1.0
• Clearance: 0.9
• Ball Recovery: 4.2
• possession won [final third]: 0.3

At the end of the winter market, there were claims that the Gunners wanted to bring him to the Emirates. At that time, Tonali’s agent giuseppe risso said Newcastle United would not let him go and rejected claims of an Arsenal contact.

Earlier this month, the agent insisted Interest from Arsenal and Manchester City could be solid after the World Cup.

The gunner aims to move forward

Mikel Arteta’s side want to secure his services and Saturday’s edition newspaper Cover the latest.

The newspaper has named Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City as their suitors, and an auction could take place after this season.

Pep Guardiola’s side intend to reunite with his compatriot Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Etihad. Apart from the Citizens, Manchester United and especially Arsenal are keen to acquire his services.

In fact, the North London club is ready to offer Newcastle United ’70-80 million euros in the next window. Juventus are also keen, but Premier League interest will make it complicated for them to sign him.

Journalist Niccolo Ceccarini, writing in his column TuttoMercatoWebInvolves interest from Serie A side Tonali.

he states: “In midfield, Tonali remains the big dream. Newcastle could talk openly about his transfer this summer, but only for a very high fee. Juventus intend to make every effort to acquire him, especially considering the fact that the player would be very keen on the prospect. In order to finance such an expensive move, the Bianconeri could put Koopmeiners on the market.”

Another Italian journalist, Carlo Pelegatti, supports Tonali to leave Newcastle United for another Premier League team in the summer and return to Milan in the future. milanlive.it Has released his comments.

“Tonali’s return in a few years will be exciting. Because Tonali is an old Rossoneri fan; if he is not busy at Newcastle, he will be there when AC Milan is playing,” Pelegatti explained.

“Tonali, believe me, is coming back! Not yet. First of all, he will go to a big English club. Newcastle are currently asking for €80m.”

Newcastle United’s decision could be important

The Italian has a contract until 2028 transfer market He is worth €80 million.

He is one of the Magpies’ stars, and it is unclear whether they want to let him join Arsenal or another Premier League team.

Last summer, Alexander Isak forced a move from St James’ Park to Liverpool. The deal was completed on the same day as the British record fee deadline. Newcastle United could complicate this if Tonali pushes for a transfer to another English club.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario will be out for several weeks during the international break with an injury.

According to Gianluca Di MarzioVicario has been diagnosed with a hernia which will now require surgery in the coming days. This has ruled him out of Italy’s March international break And potentially ending his season early.

Vicario reportedly felt the problem after Tottenham’s Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid. Further investigation confirmed the need for operation.

The procedure is scheduled for Monday, after which the Italian faces several weeks of rest as he aims to return to full fitness ahead of a potential World Cup.

Tottenham’s crisis deepens

For Igor Tudor, the timing couldn’t be worse. Tottenham are already battling an injury-laden list to avoid slipping into the Championship.

They now face the prospect of finishing the Premier League without their number one goalkeeper.

The timeline of Guglielmo Vicario’s recovery remains uncertain, but he will be ruled out for a long period of time which will see him miss important matches. That includes a relegation six-pointer against Nottingham Forest this weekend.

battle of accusations

The Tudors will likely turn to Antonin Kinski, despite the goalkeeper’s horror Champions League debut against Atletico Madrid last week. Brandon Austin is currently the third choice option at Spurs.

Tottenham will also face Wolves on 25th^th April and leeds on 9th^th Two other clashes in May saw teams threatened with relegation. The question now is whether Vicario can return in time for them.

His absence has forced a reshuffle for Italy too. Gennaro Gattuso has already brought in Alex Meret as a replacement for the Tottenham player.

Losing him isn’t as big a blow as it would be for Spurs, but it is a big moment that could shape both Tottenham’s survival battle during the international break and Italy’s preparations for the World Cup play-offs.

interesting thing Michelle spoke this week On how he is working to get the best from City’s young player Claudio Echeverri.

Why does Mitchell fit into Manchester City’s coaching model?

Inter Milan’s Davide Fratesi has had a tough 2025/26 campaign. Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United may have rekindled hopes of landing the midfielder.

At the end of the winter transfer window, the Italian was close to a move to the Midlands.

it was covered extensively sports witnessNottingham Forest failed as Inter could not land Curtis Jones as a replacement.

After all this, nothing has really changed for the midfielder. He has started only once since the end of January, only coming off the bench in the last three matches in Serie A.

With his chances of being called up to the Italian national team looking difficult, Nottingham Forest may have another chance at the player. Newcastle United could also be back in the fray for him.

Inter stance can help English clubs

interest David Fratesi reports he is looking for a club where he can play more often. Nottingham Forest were seen as that opportunity and interest remained in a summer stay.

Newcastle United are also back in the race, having tried to sign him in 2025. They approached him late – as covered sports witnessBut the Nerazzurri rejected the offer.

Now, both clubs could battle it out for the former Sassuolo player, who would also be willing to stay in England.

AS Roma are keen to bring him back but Inter’s stance could be crucial in this situation. They are not interested in swap deals or initial loans for Fratesi, which are likely to benefit Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest.

Only Roma’s Mile Swiller would tempt him in a swap but he is too important for the Giallorossi right now.

Agent connection could help Forest and Magpies

At the moment, Davide Fratessi is represented by Giuseppe Risso and also represents Sandro Tonali and Lorenzo Lucca.

This could make it easier for Nottingham Forest or Newcastle United to land the player. It has been established that Riso has a good working relationship with both clubs.

Additionally, Fratesse provides unique value to its teams. He is not a technical midfielder who dictates the pace of the game. The 26-year-old is adept at finding opportunities in the box and loves to score – as evidenced by his impressive record for Italy.

He could be a very reliable option in attack for the two English clubs, with the player also desperate to leave Inter.

Chelsea and Newcastle United are among the clubs chasing 1. FC Koln’s Said El Mala.

The Bundesliga side signed the winger from Victoria Köln in June 2024 and sent him back on loan.

He arrived at FC Köln the previous summer and his performances in his first season drew attention from Chelsea, Newcastle United and other clubs.

The 19-year-old is in his first season in the top division and has performed brilliantly for his club, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in 26 league appearances. His statistics per game are quite impressive.

• Shots: 1.9
• Shots on target: 0.8
• Goals per game: 0.62
• Assists per game: 0.21
• Goals + assists: 0.83

His rise in the Bundesliga has led to interest from several clubs, particularly the Premier League. This includes Chelsea, Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Chelsea ready to spend to beat others

Brighton have long been pursuing the Germany U21 international and made an offer in the winter market, and it was rejected by FC Köln.

El Mala has parted ways with his long-term agent and his parents are looking after his future.

On Wednesday, Sports Witness Covered claims from Germany That his new agent has agreed a deal in principle with Brighton. The source said the Seagulls are preparing to increase their offer to €35m plus bonuses.

Cologne City GazetteThe German club’s local newspaper covered it and gave their opinion on the matter, including the Blues and Eddie Howe’s side.

FC Köln did not receive any official offer from Brighton, while his parents did not explicitly state that he wanted to leave. Negotiations will only take place if a bid of €40m is on the table.

There are several clubs willing to pay more than the requested amount, but they have no intention of signing his brother, Malek, who represents FC Colón U21. Newcastle United and Chelsea have both been mentioned.

Magpies officials have already watched him in live action and even visited him at the Hyatt Hotel earlier this month. Meanwhile, his former agent held talks with Chelsea in February.

Liam Rosenior’s team ‘willing to pay’ €45m [€5m more than requested price] And offer him a seven-year contract worth €5m per year. This is likely to see him beat off Eddie Howe, Brighton and others in the summer transfer race.

However, El Mala knows that he will not get regular playing time at Stamford Bridge and could go out on loan. This can’t happen in Brighton.

Transfer battle brewing involving PL trio

El Mala are likely to move to the Premier League after this season. With the Blues, Howe’s side and Brighton keen, there could be a battle in the summer window.

Chelsea are clearly willing to pay more, given the chances of beating Newcastle United and the Seagulls. However, the sporting aspect could have a big impact on where the German is next.

The attacker has a contract until 2030 transfer market He is worth €40m.

Let’s be honest, the New York Jets haven’t always made the best decisions. This is part of why he ‘earned’ the No. 2 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Last offseason, they decided to sign Justin Fields to a two-year, $40 million contract, hoping that the former first-round pick could develop into the NFL’s next star quarterback after his original team released him. Only, Fields was not successful.

The 11th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft led the Jets to a 2-7 record before being traded for Tyrod Taylor. Now that the Jets have traded for former Pro Bowl quarterback in Geno Smith, Fields’ time with the organization may have run its course after one season.

According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, Fields’ “status is very much up in the air” with the Jets.

That was the expectation in the offseason. Some are surprised the Jets haven’t already moved on from the five-year pro. Still, the only other quarterbacks on the Jets’ roster are Brady Cook (an undrafted rookie signed through 2025) and Bailey Zappé. In other words, if the Jets move on from Fields, they will want to find another quarterback or two to help replace him.

If the Jets move on from Fields this offseason, he may not get another chance to compete for a starting job this offseason. But perhaps he can find a role where he still sees the field as a situational player who is capable of helping teams with his legs in the gadget game.

One of the biggest stories in the NBA this season has been the number of teams vying for a better position in the 2026 NBA Draft. While tanking isn’t a big issue in the National Football League, where there is no draft lottery involved, some clubs are not indicating a strong desire to win next season.

It’s hard to blame them. Even a year later, there is extraordinary buzz about a 2027 NFL Draft class that will include quarterbacks Arch Manning, Dante Moore and Brandon Sorsby — not to mention elite talents like wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, edge rusher Dylan Stewart and cornerback Leonard Moore.

RELATED: 2026 NFL Mock Draft

With that in mind, we’re highlighting some teams that are already indicating they’ll try next season to land a better selection in the 2027 NFL Draft.

New York Jets

The New York Jets already have three first-round picks in the 2027 NFL Draft, so we know a lot of their resources will be devoted to scouting and player evaluation for the upcoming season. Now, the front office brought in several veteran talents (Joseph Ossai, Demario Davis, Kingsley Anagbare, David Onyemata and Minkah Fitzpatrick) to help protect Aaron Glenn. Did it significantly improve the roster? Yes. However, it didn’t take long as New York looked to be one of the worst NFL teams in recent memory during the second half of the 2025 campaign. New York still has a roster of bottom five players in the NFL and there is a real possibility the club has a top-three pick, a top-15 pick and a top-20 pick in Round 1 next year.

las vegas raiders

Even with the return of Max Crosby, the calculus hasn’t changed much for the Las Vegas Raiders. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza will take time to adjust to playing under center, and passers who lack elite physical tools may be exposed to the talent and speed in the NFL. Additionally, the team is working to integrate a new-look offensive line and a receiving corps that, despite the recent addition of Jalen Naylor, still has a lot to prove. That is to say, Las Vegas may have to be satisfied with five to six wins in 2026.

miami dolphins

It certainly appears as if the first-year tandem of head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager John-Eric Sullivan are planning a multi-year rebuild for the Miami Dolphins. Releasing Tyreek Hill was obvious, but taking a historic dead-cap hit by cutting Tua Tagovailoa really signals that 2026 will be the season this regime tears the roster down to the studs. De’Von Achen and Jaylen Waddle are still around, which makes it a more interesting landing spot for dual-threat quarterback Malik Willis, especially since there are very few stakes in Miami. The Dolphins are making a smart bet on Willis to be their long-term quarterback. If it doesn’t work out this fall, they could relatively easily move on from him and draft a top signal-caller in the 2027 NFL Draft — or, if Willis lives up to his potential, Miami could nab a top defender next year. Either way, it’ll probably be one of the top five.

cleveland browns

It’s certainly a decision to move quickly with Shadure Sanders and Deshaun Watson as your starting quarterback options for the 2026 NFL season. One thing is for sure: The Cleveland Browns and first-year head coach Todd Monken don’t have any good options. It doesn’t help that the rebuilt Browns offensive line features a below-average guard they overpaid for (Zion Johnson), a center (Elgton Jenkins) who has been in a decline for two seasons now, and Taven Jenkins on the interior. It took Myles Garrett a record-breaking season to win five games for Cleveland last season. With Jim Schwartz gone, five wins could be the maximum for the Browns this fall.

Arizona Cardinals

That’s not to say the Arizona Cardinals haven’t made any additions this offseason. The signing of Isaac Seumalo will improve the offensive line, and Tyler Allger is absolutely an upgrade for the run game, at least compared to the team last season after a string of injuries. However, there’s probably a six-win ceiling for a team quarterbacked by Jacoby Brissett or Gardner Minshew with a bottom-10 defense. First-year head coach Matt LaFleur will also experience growing pains on the job, likely leading Arizona to no more than five wins. With the roster situation overall, the Cardinals are certainly more focused on building an infrastructure that will welcome a quarterback like Arch Manning or Dante Moore.

Celtic have expressed interest in bringing Chivas de Guadalajara star Armando Gonzalez to Celtic Park in the summer. Martin O’Neill’s side will have to be wary of the competition they face from Borussia Dortmund.

This is as of Tuesday’s edition imageWho cover the latest on Celtic and BVB.

On 21 February, Khel Sakshi broadcast news There is interest in the 22-year-old from O’Neill from Mexico.

The same source said West Ham United and Barcelona are also in the picture along with Celtic.

Two days later, witness the game Covered Claims Celtic’s approach is not yet concrete. The Bundesliga side could take advantage of this to try and sign the striker after this season.

Bild’s report mainly focuses on the German club’s desire to bring the Mexico international to Signal Iduna Park.

Celtic to battle with Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund are planning to make significant changes to their squad next season. His manager, Niko Kovac, and sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, have devised a plan.

BVB scouts are actively monitoring several players, including Gonzalez, who is on the target list to improve the attack in the next window. These officers have seen him closely on many occasions.

Kovac’s side are seriously considering signing the Mexican. The main reason for this is that his contract expires in the summer and he will be available on a free transfer.

According to the report, a move to Germany seems to be at the top of the player’s list. Borussia Dortmund are not alone as Celtic, West Ham, Barcelona and Feyenoord are in the mix.

In short, O’Neill’s side are set to battle BVB and others to sign Gonzalez.

Our opinion: Why Gonzalez could be a deal for Celtic

The Mexican has scored 18 goals and provided one assist in 27 appearances in all competitions for Guadalajara.

This, combined with his contract situation, makes him an attractive market opportunity for Celtic and other clubs in the summer. The Scottish club will have to be convinced to give Gonzalez a chance.

according to transfer marketThe player is valued at €7m and is represented by Roc Nation Sports, who now represent some of the biggest names in the game.

After 13 difficult months of healing from a ruptured right Achilles tendon, Dejounte Murray’s return to the New Orleans Pelicans lineup has provided an unmistakable spark. The All-Star has revitalized a locker room that was searching for an identity all season. James Borrego and Zion Williamson are two of many in the organization who are very grateful that their point guards are still involved with the long-term gameplan.

However, the 29-year-old admitted that the process of returning to form towards the end of the year has not been simple.

“You know, I’m feeling great mentally, physically, spiritually,” Murray insisted. “Really taking it one day at a time, but this thing is a challenge, you know what I mean? Getting back into the flow of things is a challenge.”

Getting reacclimated to the NBA pace in his situation with the Pelicans has really given Murray (16 points, 5.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds) a new appreciation for every opportunity.

“Coming back with only 20-some games left is really different because you see a different perspective of things,” Murray explained. “Some teams are doing this, other teams are doing that, players in, players out. So for me, just taking it one day at a time and trying to get better every day.”

Borrego kept an open mind about Murray’s timeline, allowing the interim coach to consider any contribution a welcome surprise. This is just one way the Pelicans can find a ray of hope amid a lost season.

“To be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect,” Borrego confessed. “I never try to get ahead of it. I just live in the moment, see where (Murray) is, but he’s impressive. I mean, just physically impressive to do that. The fact that he’s out there doing it, for (Jason Tatum) too, you know, he’s doing his job. It’s impressive what these young guys have done, the dedication both of them have shown.”

Williamson and Murray worked on group chat to keep everyone connected between challenges, and that chemistry is paying immediate benefits on the court.

“As a brother, it’s good to have him back on the court,” Williamson said. “Even though we were checking on him, he was doubly checking on us, making sure everyone’s composure was OK, making sure everyone was good, and checking on the team’s position.”

For Murray, the biggest hurdle remains finding his rhythm in meaningful games throughout the season. This will have to wait till next season. The condensed window leaves little room for gradual adjustments, especially for a team that is still trying to find consistency in expansion. For the Pelicans, the 3-3 record with Murray is a reminder of how much unreliable leadership can affect both the locker room and the scoreboard.

Ronald Koeman is closely following West Ham United’s Crescencio Somerville.

ESPN NL’s Goedemorgen Eredivisie had the Netherlands coach as a guest on Sunday football news The West Ham star has released his comments.

The winger has performed well so far this calendar year. To put this in context, he scored seven goals and provided two assists for Nuno Espirito Santo’s team in 2026.

This included a winner against Fulham and a goal in West Ham’s 2–1 league win over Tottenham Hotspur in January.

Last month, Sports Witness Dutch media covered He is being pressurized to call from Netherlands.

Somerville’s debut is yet to come

The West Ham star has played for the Netherlands at various youth levels but has yet to represent their senior team. The 24-year-old player is still waiting for his first call.

Koeman has now confirmed that the former Leeds United star is on his radar.

“Our biggest competition is often in midfield and defence, but in attack, it is a little less. He plays in the Premier League and is important at West Ham United. He can play on the right and on the left. We are keeping a close eye on that.” He said.

“He’s also very clever at maintaining possession and has a high level of efficiency in his game. That’s what you’re looking for. He’s used to playing with full intensity both forward and at the back.”

West Ham player may get a call soon

Somerville is also eligible to represent Suriname on the international stage. Their manager Henk ten Cate has convinced Leeds United’s Joel Pirro to choose Suriname over the Netherlands.

Last month, Sports Witness broadcast news That Ten Cate or Koeman have not yet called the West Ham player.

This may soon change before the upcoming international break. Asked whether he could include Somerville in the next squad, Koeman said: “It’s a possibility, yes.”

However, the former Everton boss did not call for him to stop representing Suriname.

“I don’t think you should select a player to overtake Suriname. A player has to be in the picture, and when he is ready, you should call him up,” He added.

Oranje are in danger of missing out on Somerville

The Netherlands have to play two friendly matches against Norway and Ecuador in the next international break.

Koeman will have to make sure that he selects the attacker so that the national team does not miss a talented player in the long run.

If not, it leaves the door open for Ten Kate to convince Somerville to choose Suriname.

The Buffalo Bills come close to reaching the Super Bowl every year, especially since Josh Allen emerged as a Pro Bowl quarterback in 2020. Nevertheless, Sean McDermott was somewhat surprisingly sacked after failing to meet his targets.

Now that the Bills have a new head coach in Joe Brady, some changes are expected, even if he is already a current member of the team. With free agency around the corner, the Bills may be preparing to say goodbye to some members of their core.

That could include one-time Pro Bowl center/guard Connor McGovern, who is set for free agency after three seasons in Buffalo.

The 28-year-old recently told athleticTold Tim Graham he wanted to return to Buffalo. Still, he hasn’t heard a single peep from the team. Due to the lack of contact, McGovern’s “gut” tells him that he will not be asked to return for a fourth season with the Bills.

“They haven’t contacted me once,” McGovern said. “In my conscience, it says it’s over and done with.”

If the Bills are indeed willing to allow McGovern to test free agency, we would imagine he would have a fairly healthy market, considering he has started all 49 games he has appeared in since signing in Buffalo. Before joining the Bills, McGovern spent three seasons with the Cowboys where he started 29 of his 45 appearances.

As a player with positional versatility capable of playing guard or center, McGovern should have no problem landing with another contender if that’s what he wants.

Although the Heat are still in contention for a playoff or play-in birth, Dan Le Batard is ready to have conversations around Erik Spoelstra. Spoelstra is currently the longest-tenured coach in the NBA, having coached the Miami Heat since the 2008–2009 season. His tenure has come with immense success: two championships with the Big Three Miami Heat and six trips to the NBA Finals, including the 2019-2020 and 2022-2023 seasons.

on the latest version of dan le batard showThe Crew chats about why the Miami Heat are stuck at the bottom of the conference. While Le Batard did not suggest that Spoelstra should be fired, he did say that the market needs to determine if there is a better hire who can do better than what Spoelstra has done.

“So unless you show me a future pop out there. Unless you have something out there where people are looking at it and saying, this is available. Oh, is Brad Stevens available, can we get him… and then all of a sudden you can flip it. In the history of South Florida sports, there has never been this kind of consistency, and I think Z and everybody here would acknowledge that while JuJu and Trista are comfortable saying, yes, SP Maybe it’s misunderstood. No one is saying SPOs should be fired. Like, there’s no one in this market saying out loud, “Get this group of people out of there,” Le Batard said.

The Heat are currently 32-29, leading the Southeast Division and currently sitting in 8th place in the playoff standings.

Brighton are again being dragged into transfer speculation over Paraguay, this time with a far stronger claim. local outlet versus Diego Gomez is reportedly set to join one of England’s so-called Big Six clubs after the World Cup.

Versus credits this information to the journalist chris perez. According to the report, meetings are scheduled with one of the interested parties in March. We still don’t know any names, but the suggestion is that groundwork will begin soon, even if a deal is struck only after the tournament.

The timing of the claim is noteworthy. Gomez has been playing very well for Brighton in recent weeks. He scored a spectacular goal last weekend, which further increased his visibility. As a result, his name is gaining popularity both in England and back home.

However, there is still no public confirmation from the Brighton player’s camp regarding formal talks.

March meetings were mentioned

Perez’s update introduces something that previous comments didn’t have: a timeline. earlier this yearAgent Renato Bittar insisted there was “nothing concrete” and said it was “not the time” to create more noise. Now, Paraguayan media talk openly about the March meetings.

This does not automatically mean that a deal is close. Nevertheless, it indicates that interest is moving beyond casual monitoring. In the Premier League, once talks reach the meeting level, scenarios can evolve rapidly.

Of course, Brighton are no strangers to this cycle.

Where does this leave brighton

Brighton works with a clear model. They develop players, maximize performance levels and sell at the right price. Because of that structure, extraordinary performances trigger speculation.

For now, Gomez remains a Brighton player who is performing at a high level. His recent goal only strengthens his profile. Still, any move after the World Cup will depend on assessment, timing and the club’s own strategy.

Until something concrete comes forward, the situation will remain one of increasing noise instead of a strong movement. Yet, that’s how the big stories often start in the Premier League.

By early 2025, sports witness West Ham’s interest in Italian midfielder Nicolo Fagioli has been covered. The player has come a long way since then and is now an option for Tottenham and Newcastle United.

Fagioli joined Fiorentina on an initial loan deal in January 2025. The move was made permanent last summer. The start of the season was really disappointing for the player and the Florence club.

Slowly but surely, he has played a role in helping La Viola turn things around, playing regularly in midfield.

He also scored an important goal for them in the Conference League playoffs in midweek, establishing his importance to the team.

Tottenham and Newcastle inquired about Fagioli

tuttomerkatoweb Take a look at the ex-Juventus player’s situation and how his performances are attracting attention in England.

Newcastle United and Tottenham have made initial exploratory contact for him, with both clubs targeting a summer transfer.

Both the Magpies and Spurs have a number of Italian players in their sides. This is likely to play a key role in any deal for Fagioli. The 25-year-old’s future remains up in the air, even if he is currently focused on finishing the season well in Florence.

Tottenham may have an advantage in the race. The main reason for this is the presence of Fabio Paratici at Fiorentina and he is attempting to start an ambitious project at the club.

Fagioli took a big step

Even at Juventus there was considerable confidence in Fagioli’s potential level. His sale was unfortunate, as the Bianconeri were keen to make capital gains.

Fortunately, he has found form again at Fiorentina and his qualities in deep midfield are clearly visible. Fagioli manages to dictate the pace of the game but is also very reliable when playing forward in midfield. It is probably because of this versatility that he was selected in place of Manuel Locatelli for the 2024 European Championships.

With Tottenham lacking a deep ball carrier, he could be a very good answer to those problems. His current contract expires in 2028 and that could make things easier.

Crystal Palace and Everton will have to start with €15m if they are to sign Zakaria El Ouhadi from Genk this summer.

This is according to Africa Foot. The website reports that Genk have set a price tag of €15m for the 24-year-old this summer.

According to their information obtained from a source very close to the player, Ouahdi is heading towards a departure in the summer transfer window.

He is on the radar of several ‘ambitious’ European clubs. Actually, the talks have now started taking concrete form.

VfB Stuttgart are keeping a close eye on the player’s profile, while Crystal Palace and Everton have expressed genuine interest.

€15m asking price

Sport Witness has covered reports on his interest over the past few months. In one such report today it is said The Crystal Palace was preparing for the summer stay.

he followed A similar report came last month also Which put the Eagles and Everton in the mix for the defender’s signature.

According to Africa Foot’s source, Genk have set their asking price at €15m. The player, for his part, has informed the Belgian club of his intention to change clubs. He wants to take the next step in his career.

However, his focus is on taking the right steps. A ‘very attractive offer’ has come from a Russian club, but he is not interested in it.

psv eindhoven competition

However, Everton and Crystal Palace need to move forward quickly. That’s because PSV Eindhoven has stepped up its efforts in recent weeks.

In fact, the Dutch club has already contacted representatives of El Ouahadi to find out the terms of the transfer.

Indeed, his father, who manages his affairs, is said to have welcomed the idea of ​​a move to the Eredivisie.

This suggests Crystal Palace and Everton may need to step up their interest soon.

At €15 million, El Ouhadi could be a bargain. This certainly would not be a price that would deter both parties from pursuing further efforts given their long-term interest.

Ruben Amorim is being targeted by Vasco for his first job after Manchester United. Information is from Brazilian source vdg-castWhich would represent a sharp turn around after his spell at Old Trafford.

The report claims that the Rio de Janeiro club want a new coach and have put Amorim on their shortlist. Al-Rayyan’s Artur George is said to be their priority target. However, Amorim is also under consideration and is currently out of action.

For Manchester United supporters, this will be a chance to see him try out his methods again, and also see if he will be more flexible. Of course, his time in England did not go according to plan.

The results proved inconsistent, pressure increased rapidly, and the project stalled. But now, he finds himself working with the Brazilian side in a completely different context.

From Manchester United headlines to the Brazilian rebuild

Manchester United’s management brings global scrutiny. That environment shaped the story surrounding Amorim’s time in England.

In contrast, Vasco, while historically important in Brazil, does not have the same financial strength or international expectation as Manchester United.

Twenty-five years ago, as remembered globo esporteThe Vasco team, led by Brazilian legends Romario and Edmundo, defeated one of the great Manchester United teams at the Maracana during the 2000 Club World Cup.

Today the picture has changed. Vasco is a club with relatively limited resources and has faced persistent problems both on and off the field.

However, according to VDG-Cast, the club is willing to pay a lucrative salary to secure a Portuguese coach. Amorim’s free-agent status removes the need for a compensation fee, which could make him a more straightforward option than other targets.

Still, the scale of the task will be markedly different to Old Trafford.

What does this say about their next move

Amorim was once seen as part of the next generation of top European managers. Brazil, especially a move to a club outside the continent’s most dominant powers, would signal a reset rather than a continuation at the highest level.

It remains unclear whether the talks made progress. However, the fact that his name is circulating in Brazil highlights the uncertain phase of his career after Manchester United.

Chances are that Ruben Amorim has his sights set high. That said, Wasco would be a low-pressure opportunity, and if he’s desperate to return quickly the opportunity is there.

Barcelona could afford to sign Manchester City star Erling Haaland or Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez in the summer.

This is according to Joan Soler, who has been part of Joan Laporta’s board since 2021. He has stepped down along with Laporta and the rest of the board as the chairman is seeking re-election during the upcoming election.

Soler Cadena talks to Ser about the Manchester City striker and his former Etihad teammate game Has released his comments.

Erling Haaland starred for Manchester City

Erling Haaland has been the first-choice striker at Manchester City. This convinced Álvarez to leave the Citizens for the Spanish capital club in August 2024. His name has been on the transfer agenda in recent weeks and Barca are reportedly in the mix.

In May 2025, Laporta said It is ‘not impossible’ to sign the Manchester City striker. Later that year, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain The 25-year-old is the main target of the La Liga winners this season.

How can Barcelona afford the Manchester City striker

Hansi Flick’s side will have to spend big to sign Erling Haaland or the 26-year-old Argentina international. In recent years, the Catalan club has had to consider its finances and wage bill in order to make fewer signings.

Soler now explains how Barcelona could manage to sign one of the two strikers in the summer.

He said: “Yes, we can sign players like Julian Alvarez or Haaland. These signings pay for themselves in five years and Barça’s financial situation is ready for something like this.

“At the end of the day, Barça must be very careful about which signings it makes in terms of the wage bill. We have set a limit for ourselves and we will not cross it. We have to sign players at market prices, taking into account our wage scale.”

Andre Onana lost his place in Manchester United’s starting eleven to Altay Bayindir at the start of the season.

The goalkeeper fell further down the pecking order with the arrival of Sené Lemmens to Old Trafford from Royal Antwerp on summer deadline day. Manchester United then allowed Onana to join Trabzonspor on a season-long loan deal.

Onana has kept four clean sheets and conceded 29 goals in 19 matches in all competitions for the Turkish club.

Decline in form of Manchester United players

The Cameroon international is being criticized for his recent decline in form As such Provide the latest now.

Onana had made a good start to his Süper Lig career, but his performances declined in recent weeks, resulting in criticism. This intensified after the Turkish club’s 2–3 defeat at the hands of Fenerbahçe.

According to the newspaper, the Manchester United player has received support from his current teammates and Trabzonspor’s coaching staff.

In fact, Trabzonspor manager Fatih Tekke held a private meeting with the 29-year-old to express his confidence.

The manager reportedly told Onana: ‘We trust you. You are one of the leading players of this team. Everyone goes through inauspicious times. You are one of the best in Europe.’

According to Takvim, the Tekke meeting was to ‘boost the morale’ of the Red Devils stopper.

Uncertain future of Manchester United player

Northern ExpressTrabzonspor’s local outlet also shares its opinion on Cameroon’s recent poor form and Tekke’s personal meeting.

Fenerbahçe only had three shots on target and each resulted in a goal.

According to Kuze Express, the coach has personally urged Onana to recover mentally and physically following a ‘sharp decline’ in his form. Tekke is also considering the possibility of leaving him out of the lineup.

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Doğan recently said that his side is not a priority for Onana’s future plans. Apart from this, the cost of maintaining it will also be high.

In short, the stopper’s high salary and declined form means he will not remain at Trabzonspor beyond this season. Onana will return to Manchester United, who will have to find a solution in the summer.

sports witness recently Italian claims covered Onana’s agents are visiting Inter Milan for a possible summer move.

As many predicted, the San Francisco 49ers bounced back and returned to the playoffs this season. Still, as general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan know, nothing is guaranteed from year to year.

The changes are sure to impact the 49ers again. They could also trade a Pro Bowl player who contributed heavily to their success in 2025.

While offseason discussions so far indicate that the 49ers do not want to trade Mac Jones, who led the team to a 5-3 record this season. That mindset can change.

according to athletic“Stars may align” for 49ers to trade Matt Barrows, Jones.

“Still, circumstances are shaping up to make it an offer that may be hard to refuse.”

Several teams may be interested in taking a gamble on Jones becoming the starting quarterback. It helps that Jones has spent a season mastering Kyle Shanahan’s playbook, and many teams run a similar offense.

Barrows estimates that teams that might be interested in trading for the former first-round pick include the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings.

The Cardinals just hired Mike LaFleur, who spent four seasons coaching under Shanahan in San Francisco. Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slovic spent six seasons coaching under Shanahan. Meanwhile, the Vikings use concepts in Shanahan’s offense that Kevin O’Connell has adopted over the years.

Any of the three teams would make sense if the price is right this offseason. But the 49ers also have to be willing to listen.
