Faced competition from FC Porto leeds united To sign Mauro Jr. from PSV Eindhoven this summer.

Mauro joined the Eredivisie winners from Desportivo Brasil in 2017 and has been with the first team since 2019.

Operating primarily as a left-back and occasionally as a defensive midfielder, he scored one goal and 11 assists in 37 appearances this season.

The left-back’s performances have drawn attention from a number of clubs, including Leeds United and Porto.

Leeds United have already made contact

football international There is a report of interest from both the Whites and FC Porto and PSV Eindhoven’s plans to prevent a summer exit.

The Brazilian, who won the Eredivisie four times, has become a fan favorite at the Philips Stadium. His time there may be coming to an end as Daniel Farke’s side and others come into the picture.

He has a release clause with a ‘limited transfer fee’, with VI not mentioning the figure. FC Porto and Leeds United are aware of this.

The Premier League side are ‘already actively enquiring’ about the versatile player with his representatives. They will have to overcome the Dragons and other clubs to bring the 27-year-old to Elland Road.

PSV will not be able to prevent the South American from exiting if one of his supporters triggers his condition. To avoid this possibility, the Eindhoven club wants to offer him a new contract and remove this clause. It is unclear what plans Mauro Jr. has for his future.

Porto could be tempted by European football

FC Porto and PSV Eindhoven both qualified for the Champions League after winning their respective league titles.

The Dragons could use this to lure the fullback away from English clubs who cannot offer European football after finishing 14th.

This season Daniel Farke had two left-backs in Gabriel Gudmundsson and Sam Byram. The latter contract expires in June.

Leeds United sent Isaac Schmidt on loan to Werder Bremen, who decide against his staying Permanent. The English club will have to decide whether to fire him next season or keep him as Gudmundsson’s backup.

If Schmidt were to leave, Mauro Jr. could be an option to replace him. transfer market The Brazilian is valued at €18 million with a contract until 2029.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We’ve reached the part of the offseason where the Giants are starting to see the writing on the wall. Last year, the Indianapolis Colts traded two picks in the first round to make Sauce Gardner their new No. 1 CB. This did not change the role of Kenny Moore, who served as the team’s nickelback, but it did mean there was a new defensive leader in the clubhouse.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Moore requested and was granted his release by the Colts on Thursday.

Moore, a one-time Pro Bowler in 2021, has started 111 of the 132 games he appeared in with the Colts in 2017, when he arrived as an undrafted rookie free agent. Now 30, Moore feels he still has something to offer, just not to the Colts.

Still valued as one of the better nickelbacks in the NFL, Moore will be in high demand as a free agent. Which teams should sign a veteran corner?

RELATED: 2026 NFL Power Rankings: Evaluating the worst, best teams after the NFL Draft

tennessee titans

While Moore will likely want to join a contender, we can’t completely rule out the Titans hiring Gus Bradley as their defensive coordinator. Bradley was Moore’s defensive coordinator for three seasons from 2022 to 2024, and we think both sides would welcome a reunion under the right circumstances.

tampa bay buccaneers

After saying goodbye to franchise icon Lavonte David, the Buccaneers would benefit from more experienced defensive leadership. Additionally, the team should still be looking for an upgrade considering the Buccaneers ranked near the bottom in points allowed, passing yards allowed and passing touchdowns allowed, and Tampa Bay hasn’t made many additions to its secondary this offseason.

san francisco 49ers

As mentioned, Moore may want to join a contender, and the 49ers could provide a comfortable home. The 49ers’ defensive coordinator is Matt Eberflus, who was the Colts’ defensive coordinator from Moore’s second season through his fifth season, including Moore’s only Pro Bowl season in 2021. After recording career-highs in interceptions (4) and tackles (102) in 2021, Moore will certainly welcome the chance to play for Eberflus again.

dallas cowboys

The Cowboys entered the 2026 NFL Draft with a need to improve at the cornerback position. While safety Caleb Downs would help in the secondary, the Cowboys did not select a corner until the fourth round. While Devin Moore could be part of the long-term solution in Dallas, the Cowboys may prefer to hire a veteran like Kenny Moore to help coach them.

A new report doesn’t seem to be good news for LA Knight’s future in WWE.

Knight has become a major fan-favorite in the company because he was able to overcome the obstacles that came before him. Despite being a star in TNA and NXT, when Knight originally came to the main roster in 2022, his character was completely changed, and he was renamed Max Dupree.

It seemed like he would be the latest legend to be ruined due to Vince McMahon’s different approach to established talent. However, when the WWE founder began to lose control of the company and Paul “Triple H” Levesque took a larger role in the company, Knight was allowed to return to his regular persona and given more opportunities.

While he was initially used mostly as an advanced talent, his charisma was undeniable, and he emerged as one of the notable baby faces on the roster in 2024. However, despite fans’ hopes that he will eventually win a world title, Knight is out of the main event picture as we approach the summer of 2026.

More worrying news emerged this week when BodySlam+ reported that Knight was involved in a feud with former Heavyweight Champion Gunther following WrestleMania 42. However, as fans saw on last week’s edition of SmackDown, the “Career Killer” made a surprise appearance and attacked Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. To raise a quarrel over the blue brand.

Could LA Knight be the next WWE Star Cut?

Leading up to the April mega-event, rumors surfaced that Knight was being considered for a major feud with Brock Lesnar. Of course, he went to super-prospect Oba Femi instead. This would now be the second feud with an elite talent to be eliminated.

Two weeks ago, WWE eliminated 23 veterans and prospects, including all of the Wyatt Six as well as Aleister Black and Zelina Vega. It was also revealed that some of the reductions were “age related”. Additionally, it was revealed over the weekend that TKO has asked for several performers to be cut from the roster, and this played a role in veterans Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods leaving the company.

Considering his age (43) and one more big fight, LA Knight should be concerned about his place in the company as he is making good money after reportedly agreeing to a new contract two years ago. According to BodySlam+, Knight is still with the company. But fans will surely wonder how long this will last if she isn’t added to a major storyline soon.

The annual NFL Draft is an exciting time in the football world. This is an event that is guaranteed to add talent to each team’s roster. This year, the Kansas City Chiefs placed a heavy emphasis on strengthening a defense that already ranked sixth in points allowed in 2025.

Of the seven players selected by Chiefs general manager Brett Veach, four were defensemen, and the team’s final three selections were all offensive prospects. The Chiefs also drafted a quarterback, taking LSU’s Garrett Nussmeyer in the seventh round with the 249th overall selection.

Naturally, Nussmeyer’s arrival means another Chiefs quarterback will have to step up. It won’t be Patrick Mahomes, who is recovering from a torn ACL, and it also won’t be former first-round pick Justin Fields, whom the team signed in free agency this offseason.

On Monday, the Chiefs announced they have released QB Jake Hanner from the roster. The 27-year-old signed with the New Orleans Saints as the 127th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

He remained with the Saints for two seasons before being released just before the start of the 2025 league year. Hayner spent the bulk of last season working out on the Saints’ practice squad. Once the offseason arrived, the Chiefs immediately signed him to a contract. Yet, now nearly three months later, the Chiefs have decided they want to move forward with a QB group consisting of Mahomes, Fields, Nussmeyer and Chris Oladokun.

One of the greatest tag teams of this century, the Motor City Machine Guns, is now a free agent. The former TNA, ROH, NJPW and WWE Tag Champions were surprisingly included in over 20 of World Wrestling Entertainment’s releases last weekend. However, they will not remain on the open market for long.

Both are at the end of their “wrestler prime”, Fightful reported that TNA Wrestling will welcome both of them home with open arms. However, many in the company expect him to move his talent to AEW when his 90-day non-compete clause expires.

Before the rumored move to All Elite Wrestling, let’s take a look at five matches we need to see this summer with the legendary tag team.

The Young Bucks

This is an absolute must if the Motor City Machine Guns vs. The Young Bucks joins AEW this summer. Sure, the two teams faced off a decade ago, but they were all very different back then. Although they were top teams at the time, they are now viewed as perhaps the two best tag teams of the last decade and a half.

The pairing is still going to be the high-level performer that all AEW fans need.

ftr

FTR remains the No. 1 team in AEW and has never faced MCMG. Although they have different styles, FTR has proven time and again that what makes them so great is their ability to blend in with all types of pairings. As the current AEW Champions continue to build their legacy, it makes sense to aim for a victory over “your favorite tag team’s favorite tag team.”

The Hurt Syndicate

If MCMG is to move to AEW, he will need to face another interesting duo, the Hurt Syndicate. Guns is known for his fast-paced style and innovative tag moves. Well, Syndicate is all about brutality – punching you in the mouth – with force. These four wrestling legends, combining their different approaches to tag wrestling, could deliver many show-stealing moments in 2026.

face and cage

While they’re still around, it would be awesome to see the duo of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage – FKA Edge and Christian – take on the Motor City Machine Guns. This will be a longtime dream match that will turn into reality. The pair would go down as two of the 10 best teams in the history of the industry.

With Copeland nearing retirement soon, AEW needs to make this a historic match.

Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland

Yes, we know, Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland rarely tag, and the latter has returned as a heel this year. However, when in the ring together as enemies or partners, Ospreay and Strickland make magic. If somehow they can get into the same side again next year, they will be pitted against MCMG.

This is a matchup that some people never imagined could become an absolute wrestling classic sometime in 2026 or 2027.

On Friday, 23 veterans and prospects were released from their existing contracts in the latest round of WWE’s annual roster cuts. Some of the most notable names to be released this week were each member of the Wyatt Six, Kairi Sane, and wrestling power couple Aleister Black and Zelina Vega.

While this was bad news for those wrestlers, it does leave a group of interesting talents in pro wrestling free agency at a time when the industry is strong. All Elite Wrestling should seriously consider signing veteran performers soon. With that in mind, here are seven former WWE stars that AEW should target on the open market.

carry sen

AEW’s women’s division has come a long way over the years. However, that still pales in comparison to the absurd amount of talent on WWE’s roster. But WWE has just offered several talented female wrestlers that Tony Khan may want to quickly embrace. The most notable is Japanese veteran Kairi Sane.

Khan has mentioned being a fan of Sane in the past and has a clear love for the talent from the Land of the Rising Sun. While Sane may no longer be in her prime, she is still a good performer who one will have a lot of sympathy for as she was not given the chance to finish her long-running storyline with Asuka in WWE.

motor city machine gun

AEW probably has the best bell-to-bell wrestling in the world. Another thing they do well is highlight tag wrestling. This has been a weakness for WWE during the Paul “Triple H” Levesque era, and it’s why TNA legends the Motor City Machine Guns have had a disappointing run in the company.

When he hit free agency a few years ago, there were rumors that he might sign with AEW. A move back to TNA seems very unlikely, and there are far more interesting matchups for Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley in AEW as a team or singles.

alba fire

AEW has made huge inroads among European wrestling fans. That’s why they can go to Wembley Stadium every year and perform very well. Therefore, former Women’s Tag Champion Alba Fires should be a top target in free agency.

She is a strong wrestler and gives them another talent that attracts and keeps fans in the UK. Additionally, her former WWE tag partner, Isla Dawn, is already under the AEW umbrella.

Santos Escobar

AEW has strongly embraced its working relationship with Mexico’s CMLL as well as the Spanish-speaking audience. That’s why it would be wise to capture Santos Escobar. However, unlike most of the CMLL talent performing in AEW, Escobar is fluent in English and can connect with fans in both languages.

Furthermore, he is at his best right now and despite being a strong wrestler in the ring, he is underrated on the mic.

zoey stark

Zoey Stark was snake bitten by injuries during her tenure in WWE, including rupturing her knee ligaments twice. However, when healthy, she was one of the most athletic and skilled female wrestlers on the roster.

His latest knee injury has likely taken away his athletic gifts. However, at just 32 years old, she feels like a perfect fit for AEW and a great addition to the women’s division.

nikki cross

Nikki Cross is a talented performer who was treated poorly as a member of the Wyatt Six. Since WWE had trouble booking the unique group, he did not have a single match while a part of the faction. His wild character work is always entertaining, and he’s a rock-solid worker in the ring.

Additionally, like Alba Fires, she will be an addition that will not only strengthen the AEW women’s division but also strengthen the company’s relationship with UK Wrestling.

While this was bad news for those wrestlers, it does leave a group of interesting talents in pro wrestling free agency at a time when the industry is strong. TNA Wrestling should consider signing contracts soon, including veteran performers. With that in mind, here are six former WWE stars that TNA should target on the open market.

apollo crew

At one time, Apollo Cruz was one of the must-see artists on the independent scene due to his impressive athleticism. More than a decade later, at the age of 38, Cruz is still an entertaining wrestler. But that was never his problem. It was always about finding a character that fans connect with and stick with for a while.

This is why he would be a better fit in TNA wrestling rather than battling the AEW roster for Best Match of the Night. TNA focuses a little more on character work, so if they find something that connects them with the audience, Crews could be a huge opportunity for promotion.

aleister black and zelina vega

The obvious assumption would be that, following his release, Aleister Black would return to AEW, where he found real success prior to his second stint in WWE. However, it would be wise for Carlos Silva to prioritize bringing Black and his wife Zelina Vega to TNA.

Their release this week surprised many as they were frequently used on SmackDown and seemed to be getting into a rhythm as characters. In TNA, this duo could be instantly catapulted to the top and become mainstays of the roster for the next few years, while also making some good money.

eric rowan

Erick Rowan has a useful talent for attacking enemies as a large monster. However, a performer like him doesn’t feel like a fit in this version of AEW. However, TNA could make better use of men like Rowan. They will be able to play to his strengths and get the most out of an artist whose prime years are still ahead of him.

Tyra Mae Steele

One of the other surprise releases by WWE this week was Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mae Steele. When the company signed her three years earlier, she was introduced as a future world champion and the female version of Kurt Angle. However, they may have felt that she was not developing at the pace they needed and dropped her.

He still needs further development, but has immense potential. TNA can help her become a better professional wrestler, and having a gold medalist would be a great addition to their women’s roster.

dexter loomis

Dexter Loomis has shown in the past that he can develop some strange but fun characters. Plus, he has great looks and is a very good athlete. TNA Wrestling seems like a perfect fit for a performer like Lumis, who needs time to let his character breathe. Also, rekindling their beloved history with Indi Hartwell in NXT but not in TNA would be a smart play.

Denzel Dumfries could become one of the heroes of the summer transfer window Manchester United And Aston Villa Pressure is being put for his signature.

In January, it was Liverpool who agreed a deal for the Netherlands international. sports witness covered his approach, as Inter Milan CEO Beppe Marotta confirmed early talks by the Reds for a move.

The transfer was not successful, as the Nerazzurri could not add Ivan Perišić as an additional wing-back option.

In the last few weeks, Dumfries has only managed to increase his position in Italy. After recovering from a major injury, he has become a regular under Cristian Chivu, scoring two goals against Como last weekend.

This has helped Dumfries receive more attention in the Italian press. His contract at Inter expires in 2028, which has led to Manchester United and Aston Villa keeping an eye on his situation.

Inter is trying to renew

interest Praise the Netherlands’ exceptional performance since March. He believes it is very difficult for Inter to replace him, who are now trying everything possible to renew his deal beyond 2028.

He is convinced that without a new deal, the Premier League could become a destination for the wing-back.

Aware Manchester United and Aston Villa are ‘most interested’ in his signature €25m release clause in his current contract.

It has also alerted Inter, who have offered Dumfries a wage increase of up to €5m per season. This is an attempt to beat off competition from England and convince the player to stay at San Siro.

There has been no reaction from the former PSV player yet, but Inter could continue to pursue.

Our opinion: English clubs are probably being used

It seems as if adding Premier League sides into the picture is by no means a new strategy for Dumfries. This has happened before when Aston Villa were once again mentioned as suitors. At that time, Dumfries signed a new contract at Inter.

He seems to be enjoying life in Milan. Chivu’s side are on track to win another Serie A title, needing four points before the end of the campaign.

As a result, Dumfries has no reason to leave. Manchester United and Aston Villa do not need a right-back right now, which suggests this player’s squad is trying to force Inter to pay more.

Manchester United and Liverpool have set their sights on Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchoumenyi for the summer, with Aurelien Tchoumenyi being repeatedly linked with a move recently.

The France international joins La Liga side AS Monaco in June 2022 for €70m plus €10m bonuses.

Before the move, Liverpool showed strong interest but ultimately lost the battle to Real Madrid. At that time, sports witness Covered claims from France That the Reds wanted to make a bid.

The Merseyside club are now back for the midfielder and face a potential battle with Manchester United.

He has been a regular player for the La Liga team in recent years and has played 3,379 minutes in 39 matches this season.

His La Liga statistics per game this season are as follows:

• Interception: 1.3
• Tackle: 2.2
• Possession won (final third): 0.3
• Recovered balls: 4.7
• Clearance: 1.7
• Blocked Shots: 0.4
• Ground duels won: 3.1
• Aerial duel won: 2.3

Manchester United and Liverpool keen

Aurelien Tchoumeni’s impressive performances for Real Madrid this season clearly have not gone unnoticed.

This is as per Wednesday’s edition gameWho names both Manchester United and Liverpool as his suitors.

Premier League pair view defensive midfielder as a go-to player ‘The ideal piece to strengthen their midfield’.

Therefore, the Red Devils and Arne Slot’s side are tempting him for a summer move. To do this, both clubs are considering significant offers without mentioning figures.

Los Blancos, on the other hand, are unwilling to sell and instead, want to give the star a three-year extension.

Another Spanish newspaper, MarkMakes no mention of Liverpool, Manchester United or any other club. However, they have a report on his development and Real Madrid’s plans.

Tchoumeni has received support from every Real Madrid manager he has played under so far. Considering his development and performances this season, the Spanish giants consider him non-transferable.

This will complicate Manchester United and Liverpool’s efforts to lure him in the summer.

Contract, price and agent information

Aurelien Tchoumeni will have two years left on his contract after the season and could receive a new contract from Real Madrid.

transfer market He is now valued at €75m, which is €25m less than his highest value in June 2024. He is represented by French agency Excellence Sport Nation, who also manage Manchester United’s Brian Mbeumo.

The Frenchman has a €1bn release clause, and understandably so. No club will trigger it.

Bayer Leverkusen also have Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner as well as Brighton and Hove Albion manager Fabian Herzeler.

Sportbild reports that the German side They are using this international break to determine their long-term direction as they prepare to part ways with manager Kasper Hjulmand.

As in previous years, Leverkusen have used the March international break to their advantage, and the managerial situation is at the center of discussion.

Two names have emerged as the club’s clear priorities: Brighton’s Fabian Herzeler and Crystal Palace’s late manager Oliver Glasner.

Herzeler’s release condition makes him a done deal

According to Sportbild, Fabian Herzeler has a release clause in his Brighton contract – and crucially, it is less than €15m this summer. The figure is significantly cheaper than the €20m‑plus fee being demanded by Leverkusen in 2025.

The 33-year-old has reportedly already hinted that he is ready to leave England at the end of the season. He wants to coach a team in Europe and his target is the Champions League.

Leverkusen are currently sixth in the Bundesliga and chasing fourth, so there could be an opportunity.

Why did Herzeler appeal to Leverkusen?

Fabian Herzeler has been on Bayer Leverkusen’s radar for some time. He kept an eye on him during his rapid rise to prominence at FC St. Pauli, whom he took over from 15^th 2. Promotion to the Bundesliga in just 17 months.

His reputation as a player developer and team-building specialist has only grown in the Premier League with Brighton.

Even his performance this season was poorin which Brighton won only one of 13 and dropped from fifth to 14th^thThat hasn’t stopped Leverkusen’s interest. Instead he has focused on how Herzeler has stabilized Brighton and pushed them back into the top half.

That flexibility and his ability to develop and push youth squads is exactly what they want.

Glasner: Proven success, Premier League priority

Meanwhile, Oliver Glasner will leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season.

His CV is extraordinary; There’s Champions League qualification with Wolfsburg, a Europa League win at Eintracht Frankfurt and Crystal Palace’s historic FA Cup win last season.

Leverkusen have admired him for years, but there is a problem. Glasner reportedly sees his future more in the Premier League than the Bundesliga. He was once Manchester United’s leading candidate, but the reign of Michael Carrick may have changed that.

Still, it appears he prefers the Premier League at this stage of his career and may need convincing after leaving Crystal Palace.

Leverkusen ready to start talks

Both managers were considered in previous rounds, and both are highly rated internally. With Fabian Herzeler now more affordable and Oliver Glasner’s future uncertain, Leverkusen are expected to restart discussions that began nearly two years ago.

A summer change at the German club looks increasingly inevitable. The only question is which direction they will choose. Their aim is to return to the Champions League and compete for the title again by 2028.

Will it be the manager of Brighton, or of Crystal Palace?

The New Orleans Saints have already made some big moves in free agency to boost Kellen Moore’s offense ahead of his second season as head coach. From signing running back Travis Etienne to a $52 million contract and signing guard David Edwards to a $61 million contract, it’s clear the Saints aren’t afraid to spend to get the upgrades they want.

Still, the Saints can’t continue adding expensive players. Eventually, they too may have to say goodbye to someone.

Recently, Matthew Paras of Nola.com reported that the Saints are still not comfortable withholding Alvin Kamara’s $10.5 million cap hit for 2026. Unless five-time Pro Bowler Kamara agrees to take a pay cut, he could be released from the team. That is, unless a trade partner emerges for the 31-year-old tailback soon.

As head coach Kellen Moore said Monday, Kamara “definitely belongs on the roster.” But based on Paras’ reporting, this may not last long.

Kamara was having a poor season, playing and starting only 11 games, recording 471 rushing yards and just one touchdown. He also threw for another 186 yards as a receiver. Still, it dwarfs Kamara’s typical production, making it easy to see why they were willing to pay so much money for a new starter in Etienne.

While Kamara may remain in a fairly reduced role, he may get better opportunities to see the field elsewhere. Still, perhaps he would prefer to stick with the only team he has known since being taken as the 67th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has a clause in his contract that allows him to join Atletico Madrid for €60m, €10m less than Spurs’ value.

Marca reports that Romero negotiated to include that clause when he signed his final contract extension.

The newspaper reports that Atletico have not given up on Romero despite trying to sign him last summer. In fact, he is once again the top target for the defense ahead of next season.

Romero is doing his thing

The transfer is supposed to be difficult, but Romero is playing his part in making it possible. In fact, he has been trying his best to make a deal possible for some time now. This includes negotiating a clause in his final extension to Tottenham.

The deal, signed in August, came after Atletico refused to pay Tottenham’s €55m demand for the striker. The 27-year-old was left disappointed after accepting a ‘shocking’ renewal offer. But he had an ‘ace up his sleeve’.

Knowing that Tottenham valued him at €70m, he included a special clause in his contract for Atlético set at €60m. Although still a high figure, it is a demonstration of his desire to join the Rojiblancos.

real madrid aware

Now he has extended this clause to both of Spain’s biggest clubs. Real Madrid is aware of the situation, but his signals for Atlético have been constant and noted.

The last of those came during the recent meeting in the Champions League. romero Refused to be sure about his Tottenham future To the media after that game.

But behind closed doors he took the opportunity to chat with Atletico’s Argentine players, who he plays with on the international stage. It was a demonstration of how well he can integrate into Atlético.

Atletico sporting director Matteo Alemany will have to consider the option when presented with it. He will also wait to see if Tottenham are relegated, which could change the situation drastically.

This will definitely open the doors wider and potentially bring competition. However, he will not have the special clause that Romero has negotiated for Atlético.

Belgium U21 manager Gil Swarts has cleared up confusion over Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia’s involvement this month.

The 22-year-old has made only one appearance for Belgium U21 in 2022, against Scotland.

The Chelsea player made his senior debut in Belgium’s friendly win over Germany in March 2023. He has not appeared for them since then.

This is mainly because the midfielder has struggled with injuries and fitness since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Southampton in August 2023.

To put this into context, he has played 1,559 minutes from 37 matches, including 503 minutes from 15 matches this season, which includes eight Premier League appearances. His statistics per league game this season are as follows.

Lavia has been fit for over a month and has made seven appearances for Liam Rosenior’s side in March. Last weekend, he started in the Blues’ 3–0 league defeat to Everton and played 57 minutes.

This may have led to suggestions of him returning to the national team or the Swans team for the March international break.

Swarts on Chelsea deal for Lavia

The Club World Cup winners initially stated on their official website that Romeo Lavia had made the Belgium U21 squad before removing it.

On Monday, Sports Witness Covered Claims He rejected calls from Gil Swarts from his country’s media.

Sporza The English club’s official website spoke to Jong Duivels to ask him about the message. Both the Belgian FA and Chelsea, and not Lavia, decided that he would not play for his country this month.

“There was a misunderstanding. He was on initial selection for the first team, and then there was contact between the federation and Chelsea staff,” He said.

“It was asked if he could get minutes for the U21s, but it was decided by mutual consent not to do so. But Romeo never refused his selection.”

The Milwaukee Bucks decided to waive Cam Thomas on Monday afternoon, just hours before the Bucks were scheduled to take on the LA Clippers in Los Angeles.

The decision comes just weeks after the franchise signed the guard to help its shorthanded roster in an effort to advance in the playoffs.

Bucks head coach Doc Rivers was asked about the move to waive Thomas before the game on Monday.

“Yeah, it was pretty tough, to be honest,” Doc Rivers told members of the media before the Clippers-Bucs game. “We’ve run out of resources and at the end of the day, there are guys you have to make decisions on. I thought Cam was really good overall, and he might be a guy we could look at again. Where we’re at right now, not really looking because when we signed him, we thought it was the right thing to do for the rest of the guys right now.”

Thomas was released by the Brooklyn Nets on February 5 after a suitable trade partner could not be found for the guard. On February 8, the Bucks and Cam Thomas agreed to a deal for the remainder of the season.

Since the contract he played 18 games for the Bucks, averaging 10.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 27.5 percent from three.

“There are things we don’t need to talk about,” Rivers said. “It’s nobody’s job, like I said before. As a coach you have to decide what’s best for the team at that time. People don’t understand that, they talk about other things, and it’s not for anybody to know.”

From 2023 to 2025, Cam Thomas played 91 games for the Bucks, averaging 22.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, while shooting 44.1 percent from the field and 35.9 percent from three.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Antonin Kinski will ‘rarely’ rejoin the Premier League side this season.

This is according to the Czech Republic gameWho sees his future at Tottenham after this season.

Igor Tudor played the stopper in Tottenham’s 5-2 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, but was replaced after 17 minutes.

This clearly did not please the Czech Republic internationals and their country’s media.

On Wednesday, Sports Witness check claims covered The 22-year-old has been urged to leave Spurs after a disappointing Champions League debut.

Tottenham banned from January exit

Prior to his appearance against the La Liga team, Kinski had made two appearances for Tottenham this season and both were in the EFL Cup. Guglielmo Vicario has been number 1 for the last few years.

Kinski’s restricted role led to several clubs attempting to sign him in the winter market. West Ham United had him on their target list, while there were claims of interest from Lille and unnamed German clubs.

However, the north London club decided not to sanction his exit. This clearly has not worked out for the player and therefore, a loan move has been considered. ‘much more likely’ In summer.

Specific clauses in Kinski’s contract

Antonin Kinski could take advantage of a clause in his contract to move away from the Tudor side. This will come into effect if he does not make a certain number of appearances this season.

Sources have told iSport about the clause, without mentioning details of the terms. If he fails to meet these conditions, Tottenham will have to release him on loan in the next window.

Since the check is unlikely to be involved again, this segment is likely to be active. People close to Kinski suggest it is best for him to leave the English capital club on a temporary deal.

Stopper contract and price

transfer market Kinski is valued at €13m and his contract expires in 2029. However, the Premier League side have Confirmed He has signed a deal till 2031.

He arrived at the north London club from Slavia Prague in January 2025, after Vicario was sidelined with injury.

Kinski has played 1,127 minutes in 13 matches so far, kept four clean sheets and conceded 22 goals.

It will be interesting to see where he plays next season. Cech needs to join a club on loan that can ensure him regular playing time.

The Minnesota Vikings had no choice but to make a tough decision in the offseason, where they were $40 million over the 2026 salary cap. Several Pro Bowl veterans have been released from the team, including a pair of defensive tackles, Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave, signed in free agency last offseason. But the migration does not end here.

On Wednesday, the Vikings surprisingly also released Harrison Smith from the team. The potential future Hall of Fame safety is expected to either retire after 14 NFL seasons or re-sign in Minnesota at an even lower rate.

He is being processed as a cap casualty after June 1, saving approximately $1.3 million in cap space (exactly needed to sign Kyler Murray), but the Vikings “would welcome his return” according to Matthew Coler. Right now, he won’t take up a roster spot, but his absence leaves a massive void at the safety position next to Josh Metellus in Minnesota.

The Vikings always feared a possible retirement by Smith this offseason, and this could be a precursor to an eventual announcement. For now, the 37-year-old gets some time to decide whether he wants to boost his Hall of Fame resume or begin the next phase in his life, one that will hopefully involve fewer setbacks and injuries.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are currently in third place in the Western Conference with a third-straight trip to the WCF, with franchise star Anthony Edwards determined to get his team to the NBA Finals. He has been one of the league’s most electric players since his arrival, but his stardom really took off while making waves as a Georgia Bulldog. Ahead of March Madness, the adidas AE 2 will be releasing in a “Bulldog” inspired colorway.

Check out our sneakers news for more upcoming releases and breaking content!

At Georgia, Edwards averaged 19.1 ppg, 5.2 rpg and 2.8 apg on 40% career shooting from the field in one season. He immediately became a household name, eventually becoming the first overall pick in the NBA draft. While Edwards has seen his best performances in a Minnesota uniform, his potential has been evident since his days as a Bulldog.

Debuting as the highly anticipated follow-up to the adidas AE 1 in October 2024, the AE 2 is already making waves with this upcoming colorway, just in time for the March Madness tournament. Edwards previously released the “Bulldog” AE1, so we can expect this black/red/white theme to continue moving forward.

The “Bulldog” colorway will feature a standard ensemble of Black/Red/Silver for an updated take on the Georgia-themed palette. The upper sockliner and lacing panels are all constructed in black mesh and accented by the AE logo on the tongue tab. The sneaker’s padded mid-panel will be made in red material as a nod to Georgia, accented by a silver rubber support extending through the upper through the shoe.

Featuring vented toe caps, a supported heel and an updated treaded outsole, this special colorway was teased during Adidas’ wild ad campaign in response to the NBA fine handed out to Edwards at the beginning of the season.

The adidas AE 2 “Bulldog” is set to release on March 14th, 2026 for a standard retail tag of $130. The shoes will come in full adult sizes and will be made available through Adidas and select Adidas platforms.

It’s fair to say the Dane is keeping a close eye on Tottenham Hotspur following the departure of Thomas Frank in January.

The nation was thrilled when Frank was given the ‘big job’ last summer following his success at Brentford. They were certainly supportive of him and, often, one of his biggest champions.

Well, now that he’s been fired, he’s keeping an even closer eye on proceedings. And Francis Dickoh has spotted something that should leave Spurs fans very concerned. TipsBladet released its comments today.

He, like most of us, was watching the clash between Tottenham and Crystal Palace on Thursday evening. Igor Tudor’s team went into that game knowing that defeat could be devastating.

Crystal Palace disaster

And this proved to be true, as a 3–1 defeat and the departure of Micky van de Ven pushed them to the brink. Spurs are now one point outside the relegation zone, without a win in 11 and with no signs of improvement under Tudor.

What’s even more worrying is that people around them are picking points. West Ham won to close the gap this week, while Nottingham Forest picked up an unexpected point against Manchester City.

With five defeats in their last five, Spurs are unlikely to get similar results any time soon. Palace’s defeat certainly did not send any positive signals. And Dicko believes this is what should concern them most.

“The defeat to Crystal Palace was a low point for Tottenham,” He said.

“The team collapsed, and this is worrying when the club has already made changes to the coaching staff. One might fear that Tottenham have not yet reached rock bottom, with the threat of relegation looming.

“The clubs around Tottenham are looking confident. And in the game, it’s looking like other teams are dying with their boots on and are competitive. Tottenham are in a different place right now.”

tottenham needs to fight

The statistics certainly don’t look great for Tottenham. While they are bottom of the form table, West Ham have lost only one of their last five. Forest have two draws and three defeats from five.

However, his future will likely be determined by Tottenham’s clash with Nottingham Forest later this month. After this they will also face Leeds, who are two points ahead of 15.^thIn early May.

Considering his current form, this could prove to be a big decider. Of course, they are still in a fight at that time. Tudor must help them find that fight first.

Francis Ngannou’s signing with the Professional Fighters League became an official failure on Friday. Three years ago, the former UFC heavyweight king had a falling out with the MMA world leader and decided to shake up the sport by taking his talents to the PFL. However, after only one tie in the league, both sides decided to end their relationship this week.

The news immediately sparked speculation about a possible return to the UFC. However, this will be very difficult given his poor relationship with the company’s CEO Dana White. However, with CFO Hunter Campbell having a huge role in the promotion, he may decide to do what’s best for the business and try to bring “The Predator” back if the price is right.

If Ngannou and the UFC can work out their issues and plan a return to the Octagon, here are five bouts we’d love to see in 2026 and 2027.

Francis Ngannou vs. Jon Jones

While there are rumors of a clash between MMA icons Jon Jones and Alex Pereira at the UFC White House card in June, fight fans have wanted a bout with Francis Ngannou for years. There were definitely talks of a fight when the King of Cameroon was still the heavy king. But they could never get the deal across the finish line.

With Ngannou now having less leverage, it may be far easier to get a contract signed for a blockbuster matchup.

Francis Ngannou vs. Tom Aspinall

If Jones is no longer interested in a fight with Ngannou, another easy pivot would be to a matchup with current champion Tom Aspinall. Apparently, the Englishman needs to get his eyes back to normal after the surgery he had last month. However, if he can return to full health, there will be plenty of interest in booking two of the most influential legends of the last five years.

Francis Ngannou vs. Alex Pereira

If Pereira vs. Jones takes place, and the Brazilian wins, his next goal will be to remain at heavyweight and make history by becoming the first UFC fighter to win titles in three divisions. If Aspinall is still not ready to fight, it would not be a surprise if Pereira and Ngannou are placed in an interim title fight.

Seeing Pereira in the same cage as the heavyweight Ngannou will be a sight to behold and a must-see for fight fans.

Francis Ngannou vs. Sergei Pavlovich

If the UFC doesn’t want to push Francis Ngannou into his first title fight, his plan would be to face one of the division’s contenders. That’s why Russia’s Sergei Pavlovich would be a possible option. He is almost as big and powerful as the former heavyweight champion. So the matchup will be a great test for Ngannou’s comeback. Additionally, this fight would be a huge co-main event for any upcoming numbered UFC event.

francis ngannou vs tyson fury

If the UFC re-signs Ngannou, one direction outside the box he could go would be a clash in the Octagon with Tyson Fury. There was a fight between these two in a boxing match three years ago and the Cameroonian player caused the biggest upset in history. There has been an uproar regarding the rematch for a long time. Doing it in MMA – a sport in which the Englishman has often competed – would make sense.

With White running Zuffa Boxing, a trilogy fight could take place in the ring, or it could be part of a two-fight, two-sport deal between the boxing giant and parent company TKO Group Holdings.

In a move that has shocked the MMA world, the PFL has officially cut ties with its most high-profile signee, Francis Ngannou.

The promotion released a formal statement Friday morning, confirming that “The Predator” has been released from his multi-fight contract after only one appearance in SmartCage.

“The Professional Fighters League has decided to part ways with Francis Ngannou,” a representative for the PFL told Sherdog.com. “We have great respect for Francis as both an athlete and a person, and we wish him every success in the next chapter of his combat sports career.”

Despite the grand expectations that accompanied his signing in 2023, the partnership concluded with Ngannou fighting only once – a dominant first-round knockout of Renan Ferreira in October 2024. This release marks the end of what many considered a “game-changing” deal for combat empowerment.

When Ngannou joined the PFL after his public exit from the UFC, he was given unprecedented flexibility, including the right to pursue professional boxing and serve as president of PFL Africa. However, after three years and only one MMA bout under their banner, the promotion has decided to move in a different direction.

Francis Ngannou does not fit the new direction of the PFL

The timing of Ngannou’s release coincides with an executive shakeup within the PFL. In January 2026, following the departure of longtime CEO Peter Murray and Chairman Ray Sefo, founder Don Davis resigned as chairman. These internal changes, along with a strategic capital raise from new major owners Knighthead Capital Management and 885 Capital, signal a reset for the promotion’s heavyweight strategy.

While Ngannou was the face of the PFL’s “Super Fight” division, the league is reportedly shifting its focus to “recruiting and signing the best athletes” for its traditional season-based format. Now a free agent, the 39-year-old Ngannou finds himself at a fascinating crossroads.

While his relationship with UFC CEO Dana White remains rocky – White recently mocked PFL’s deal with Ngannou and claimed he was “happy” to see him go – the heavyweight division in the UFC is currently in flux.

With undisputed champion Tom Aspinall recovering from eye surgery and rumors of Alex Pereira dropping the title to move up to heavyweight, a “White House” superfight on June 14 remains a possibility. More realistically, Ngannou could look towards the boxing ring, where a possible clash with Deontay Wilder on April 4 has been discussed.

When Stefon Diggs signed with the New England Patriots last season, it came as a shock. Especially because they signed the then-31-year-old player to a three-year, $65 million contract despite coming back from an ACL injury.

However, the deal proved to be a fair compromise for both parties. The Patriots not only reached the playoffs, but also reached the Super Bowl with his help. Although Diggs faces a $26.5 million cap hit for 2026, his return to New England for another season wasn’t always possible at that rate.

On Wednesday, the Patriots revealed they are set to release Diggs at the start of the new league year next week. The one-time All-Pro is coming off a year where he recorded his seventh 1,000-yard season and will certainly face a strong market again.

Below, we evaluate some of the strongest landing spots for the four-time Pro Bowl receiver.

RELATED: Buffalo Bills may be ready to move on from Pro Bowl player

san francisco 49ers

The 49ers are moving on from Brandon Aiyuk. Jauan Jennings is also set for free agency. In the meantime, he could be an ideal fit for Diggs, who has proven capable of making plays all over the field from multiple receiver spots. It will be a dream for Kyle Shanahan to plan plays as George Kittle turns 30.

los angeles chargers

Veteran receiver Keenan Allen is a free agent again. While the Chargers could bring him back after finishing second on the team in receiving yards, LA has a chance to upgrade at the position by signing Diggs. Diggs is a year younger, and has been more productive recently despite recovering from a serious injury. We can see Diggs appreciating the opportunity to play for a contender in such beautiful weather.

Washington Commanders

Diggs grew up in Maryland and played college ball there. With the Commanders boasting some of the most salary cap space in the NFL, it’s possible they’ll also pursue Stephon’s brother, Trayvon, to play cornerback. A homecoming for the Diggs brothers could be exactly what the siblings are planning this offseason.

kansas city chiefs

There have been rumors that Diggs has been trying to hook up with Patrick Mahomes for several seasons. That wasn’t the case last year when he was coming off a torn ACL. Still, with the Chiefs looking for another playmaker this offseason, we can’t help but wonder if he’ll end up in Kansas City this time.

buffalo bill

The Bills have made a coaching change. Now that they have an offensive-minded leader, we wonder if Diggs will see the Bills as a more team-friendly landing spot. Plus, he may be looking for a chance to rekindle his strong relationship with reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen. Both athletes performing with a chip on their shoulders could lead to a magical season.

last month, sports witness Repeated claims about Fulham making a move for Moise Kean in the winter transfer window were covered.

The London club had expressed interest in January. Barcelona, ​​Paris FC and AC Milan were also interested.

With no concrete offers made, the striker turned things around for himself in 2026. It has also helped Fiorentina regain some form to avoid relegation.

The former Everton player’s situation is being talked about again. It seems Fulham are in the running to bring him back to the Premier League.

A deal could be possible for Fulham

tutomercatoweb Italy International report that Milan have made an ongoing search for him over the past few weeks.

Rossoneri manager Max Allegri has been important in Keane’s career during his time at Juve. They would be interested in a reunification but a deal seems too difficult for the Serie A giants.

At the moment, the player is completely focused on Fiorentina and is not thinking about his future. But a deal may be more viable for Fulham, who are still interested.

This is because Keane has a release clause of €62m in his La Viola contract. This will be in place between July 1 and 15, which will fall during the World Cup period. The ex-Juventus player is likely to be in action at that time and there could be increased attention on him.

That price is quite high for Milan and for Italian sides in general. If suitors come forward, Fiorentina are likely to point to a release clause, and it would only suit Fulham.

Keane could be a good replacement for Marco Silva

While Keane’s first shot at the Premier League did not go to plan, he has since developed as a player.

Physically, he has matured considerably and has become a real hunter in the final third. Sometimes he is criticized for missing chances but he keeps scoring the right runs to get those chances.

Keane struggled at the start of the season but now has three goals in four Serie A games. Last season, he found the net 19 times in the league, which led to his recall to the Azzurri.

He is a player who now knows his best role and Fulham could benefit from that. The release clause is arguably still higher than it should be, but at 26, Keane has a lot to offer.

The Miami Dolphins have been one of the busiest teams of the offseason so far. New general manager John-Eric Sullivan isn’t afraid to make tough decisions, even if it means moving away from the cornerstones of the former franchise. The Dolphins have already traded away two Pro Bowl players in Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb this offseason. Minkah Fitzpatrick is also reportedly on the trade block.

Meanwhile, Tua Tagovailoa has long been rumored to be on the chopping block, yet Miami is trying to trade the former Pro Bowl quarterback instead.

Still, ESPN’s NFL insider Dan Graziano is “hopeful” the Dolphins will waive Tagovailoa instead. In other words, the Dolphins have not been able to find a trade partner for Tagovailoa, who has a $56.2 million cap hit for 2026.

Tagovailoa is coming off the worst season of his career after throwing a career-high 15 interceptions. However, the 28-year-old is still seen as someone who can potentially return to his top form with a change in scenario. Now hopefully the Dolphins give him the same opportunity that Murray is getting from the Cardinals.

Tagovailoa led the NFL in completion percentage in 2024, and had his only Pro Bowl season in 2023, when he led all passers with 4,624 yards. Certainly, another team would be eager to take a chance on him getting back on top, especially since it would likely come at a significantly lower rate than the veteran’s minimum contract.

It seems like the offseason has just begun, yet the Detroit Lions are already busy, showing they aren’t afraid to shake things up. We’ve already seen that the Lions have hired Drew Petzing as the new offensive coordinator. Lions general manager Brad Holmes is also making changes to the roster.

On Monday, the Lions revealed that they have released offensive guard Graham Glasgow from the roster. Glasgow, a 10-year veteran, spent seven seasons with the Broncos in Detroit and three seasons in Denver.

Glasgow has started 136 of 147 games since being drafted as the 95th overall pick in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He started 14 of his 15 appearances last season for a Lions team that went 9-8.

Set to turn 34 in July, Glasgow should have no trouble finding another starting opportunity this offseason. He had one year left on his contract in Detroit, but releasing him saved $5.56 million in 2026. The Lions will also face a $2.88 million dead cap charge for moving on from Glasgow a year ago.

The Lions have already secured a potential replacement, by sending David Montgomery back to the Houston Texans in exchange for Juice Scruggs, as well as a fourth- and seventh-round selection. The 26-year-old Scruggs is entering the final year of his rookie contract and has started 20 of his 37 appearances since being made the 62nd overall pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Ever since the Houston Rockets lost Fred VanVleet to a potential season-ending injury before the year started, it has been reported that they have explored the market for a veteran point guard. One such player became available this weekend when the Dallas Mavericks opted to release Tyus Jones at his request.

However, according to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Rockets could look for point guard help in the final stretch of the regular season, but they reportedly have no plans to make any roster moves at this time.

Right now, the Rockets have an open roster spot that could potentially go to Tyus Jones at some point following his release. Jones has until the final day of the regular season, April 12, to sign with a team to be eligible to play in the playoffs.

Before his release, Jones had appeared in eight games for the Mavericks, including two starts, averaging a little over 16 minutes per game. He averaged 3.9 points, 1.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists, while shooting only 38.2 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from the 3-point line. Jones was acquired by the Mavericks at the trade deadline in a deal with the Charlotte Hornets involving Malachi Brahman.

Since the start of the season, the Rockets have gone with a larger lineup, using Amen Thompson at point guard in VanVleet’s absence. His primary backup has been Reed Shepard, while veteran Aaron Holiday may also play minutes. Should the Rockets sign Jones, it’s unclear exactly where he would fit on the depth chart.

After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014, there is no denying that the Kansas City Chiefs need to make some changes. We’ve already seen them say goodbye to Matt Nagy, leading to a reunion with Eric Bieniemy. Now it’s time to change the roster.

Even after winning Super Bowls, the Chiefs weren’t afraid to make changes. Sometimes, those decisions don’t work out. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach is ready to admit he made an $80 million mistake.

According to ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Chiefs will release offensive tackle Jawan Taylor. Releasing him would save the Chiefs approximately $20 million in salary cap space.

The 28-year-old started 12 games in Kansas City last season, the third season of a four-year, $80 million contract he signed through 2023. Taylor started 45 games for the Chiefs and helped them win the Super Bowl. Taylor previously spent four seasons with the Jaguars, starting all 66 of his appearances in Jacksonville.

The Jaguars made Taylor the 35th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The Florida native has played seven seasons and reached the playoffs three times.

Pro Football Focus ranked Taylor 80th out of 89 offensive tackles in 2025, earning positive grades for his work as a pass-blocker (49th out of 89) and negative grades as a run blocker (88th out of 89). Now, as Taylor looks for his next team, expect an offense with a pass-heavy scoring attack to take a long look at him in free agency.

The Nike Air Jordan Retro release calendar will continue throughout 2026 as fans have several highly touted releases to look forward to in the coming months. Jordan Brand and Nike are bringing back the OG retro sneakers in unprecedented numbers, offering reimagined takes on some of the classics that made the Jumpman an icon. The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” is next up after last being seen in the 2024 “Reimagined” series.

Check out our sneakers news for more upcoming releases and breaking content!

The Air Jordan 4 silhouette was introduced in 1989 following Michael Jordan’s first MVP season. Looking to make a statement with the debut of his signature sneaker line, Nike designer Tinker Hatfield has designed a hybrid-based sneaker with several cutting-edge design elements not seen on previous sneakers. The shoes were an instant hit and remain a particularly popular silhouette in the numbered series.

Seeing retro returns in 1999, 2008 (Countdown Pack), 2012, 2019, and a “reimagined” leather look in 2024, the familiar “Bred” (meaning, black and red) continues to hold up as one of the best colorways to release. Early reports and mock-ups suggest that the 2026 release will stay true to the OG release of the ’90s.

Raul Jimenez has enjoyed good form with Fulham over the past two months.

The Mexico international has scored six goals and provided one assist in his last 11 Premier League matches for Fulham.

This included winners against both Nottingham Forest and West Ham United and Fulham’s 3-1 win over Sunderland at the weekend.

According to these results, Marco Silva’s side are 10th in the table, 12 points ahead of 18th-placed West Ham and three points behind seventh-placed Brentford.

Jimenez has been one of Fulham’s key men and his recent performances have caused a stir in Mexico. This is mainly due to the World Cup taking place this summer, with some matches being held in the country.

During the 2022 World Cup, El Tri exited after the group stage, and Jiménez made three substitute appearances.

Why does Mexico want Fulham’s early release?

The striker has also performed brilliantly for the national team in recent years and has scored 11 goals in his last 17 matches. There will be expectations from him for good performance in the FIFA tournament.

half time And Opinion Both report that the national team want Fulham to release him before the end of the season.

The Premier League team will face Newcastle United in its final match on May 24. The outlet says FIFA rules state players called up for the World Cup must take at least a week off.

If Jimenez makes his way into Silva’s squad against Newcastle United, he will miss the friendly against Australia on 30 May. In other words, the frontman will only be eligible to take part in the final friendly match against Serbia.

Therefore, Medio Tiempo and La Opinion State Mexico manager Javier Aguirre will travel to England for talks with Fulham. The trip to London will be a bid to convince Silva’s side to release Jimenez before the end of this season.

Opinion Status: ‘The Mexican national team coach plans for Jimenez to participate in at least Mexico’s last three friendly matches against Ghana, Australia and Serbia on May 22 and 30, as well as June 4.’

There is no mention of the 34-year-old’s stance in both the reports.

His contract expires in June and it is unclear whether he will remain with the English club. Two months ago, Jimenez expressed his desire To return to his former team, Club America.

Kasper Schmeichel has been Celtic’s No.1 since arriving at Celtic Park on a free transfer in July 2024. His role has not been affected by recent managerial changes and he is first choice for Martin O’Neill.

The Denmark international has kept 14 clean sheets and conceded 47 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions for Celtic this season.

He conceded 19 goals in nine Europa League appearances and four of the goals were in Celtic’s defeat to VfB Stuttgart. The 39-year-old was criticized by a section of the Scottish club’s supporters following Thursday’s European defeat at Celtic Park.

Celtic form a cause for concern for Denmark

BT Watched his recent performances for Celtic in Denmark and shared his thoughts on making his debut for the national team in March.

Denmark will face North Macedonia in the World Cup playoffs in March. The question is whether manager Brian Reimer will start Schmeichel as his role has already been debated.

The Celtic man has been Denmark’s main goalkeeper for many years. Chelsea’s Philip Jorgensen and West Ham United’s Mads Hermansen have been supporters of his in recent years.

Jorgensen has played once while Hermansen is yet to make his debut. Earlier this month, Sport Witness Danish claims covered It is ‘complete madness’ that both are not getting opportunities.

Reimer likely to be starting Celtic player

Beattie says Reimer’s decision to choose his goalkeeper for next month’s clash will probably be ‘tougher than usual’. This is not just due to Schmeichel’s mixed Celtic performances, but also Hermansen’s return to West Ham. The latter regained his place in the Hammers’ starting lineup.

However, the national team boss ‘doesn’t dare’ to sack the Celtic player. At least that’s what BT football expert Jannik Liburd claims.

“The question is, does Brian Reimer dare to change his relatively weak position before important playoff matches in March?” He said.

“Personally, I don’t think Brian Reimer dares to prioritize form over experience and play Mads Hermansen instead of Schmeichel, even though that might be the right thing to do.”

Schmeichel’s contract expires in June. Back in November, he said he would decide on his celtic future Around February or March. There should be more clarity in the coming weeks.

Nike and Jordan Brand have already seen an active 2026 with a slate of retro releases around NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, but the Jumpman is just getting started in terms of its collaborative efforts in the coming months. Soon, Union and Fragment will team up to release one of the most hyped releases of Air Jordan 1 sneakers in recent memory.

The fragment design, created by streetwear designer Hiroshi Fujiwara, first teamed up with Air Jordan in 2014 to create a simple yet iconic black/white/blue design. To date, the original pair fetches over $1,500 on the resale market, forming the basis for Fragment’s upcoming work with the Travis Scott line.

Los Angeles-based Union, founded by Chris Gibbs, first collaborated with the Jordan 1 in 2018 with their popular deconstructed ‘Piece-Together’ take on classic colorways. Mixing and matching each OG colorway of the Jordan 1, high-end pairs run around $1,500, even on the aftermarket.

Already released exclusively in Los Angeles during the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend, the highly anticipated collaboration between the two known brands will have a global online release in the coming weeks.

The “Varsity Red” colorway first released on February 14 via Union Los Angeles and select Fragment showrooms a week earlier on February 7. Just today, Nike confirmed a wider release of the colorway via the Nike SNKRS app, giving global access to the hyped release at a retail price of $205. This pair is slated for a February 27th, 2026 release and should come in fairly limited numbers in full adult sizes.

In a move that was largely expected this offseason, the Miami Dolphins released Tyreek Hill on Monday. Now the eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver is free to sign with any team of his choice, and unlike many other players who will be available after this offseason, he will not have to wait until free agency begins on March 11.

Hill can sign with a team right now. Since he is 31 years old and coming off a torn ACL, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him land with a contender or a team with a great passing attack. Below, we evaluate five of the best landing spots for the five-time All-Pro.

new England Patriots

The Patriots didn’t win the Super Bowl, but maybe with a little more help they can achieve their goal next season. Fixing the offensive line will be a priority. If the Patriots can do that, they should consider adding another weapon to their offense. Hill could get additional motivation from playing for the Patriots, where he will have to face his former team twice per season in the AFC East, plus catching passes from Drake Mays could be a special experience.

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens may intimidate Hill because not only are they a run-first team, but their receivers are also expected to contribute as run-blockers. He’s not known for his blocking, but Hill would help bring even more pace to a Ravens offense that could use another playmaker to help take pressure off two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson.

kansas city chiefs

Eric Bieniemy is returning to the Chiefs this offseason, so maybe it’s time to consider a reunion with Tyreek Hill as well. After all, he recorded 1,000-yard seasons in four of his six years in Kansas City, helping them win a Super Bowl in the process. While the Chiefs traded away Hill after 2021, it became too expensive to continue winning championships with him, but now that he is recovering from a torn ACL and knee dislocation, the 10-year pro would agree to a significantly lower rate.

buffalo bill

It’s clear the Bills need to get some more help from Josh Allen. A zone-wide threat like Hill will certainly open up the field, preventing defenders from crowding the box against Buffalo. With Hill running deep routes and Allen and James Cook keeping defenders honest at the line of scrimmage, the Bills will be extremely difficult to defend.

los angeles chargers

Hill’s former head coach, Mike McDaniel, signed on as the Chargers’ offensive coordinator/playcaller. This makes the Chargers clearly the perfect fit for Hill to follow him to Los Angeles. Hill had two seasons with over 1,700 receiving yards in McDaniel’s offenses, including leading the NFL in receiving yards in 2023. We don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to work together again. Unless the Chargers are looking for better run blockers than their receivers, Hill may have to find work elsewhere.
