Bournemouth closes the door to summer sales – Liverpool have no chance

bournemouth Forward Ryan arrived in England and immediately changed the atmosphere at the club.

The 19-year-old joined from Vasco da Gama in January and quickly became one of Bournemouth’s main attacking names.

Since his arrival, the Cherries have played 17 Premier League matches without defeat. The current undefeated run has also inspired the Brazilian media Frame Bournemouth as ‘Ryan’s Bournemouth’Arguing that the teenager has become the hero of the club’s recent rise.

This kind of form was always going to attract the attention of big clubs.

arsenal and manchester united While, has already been linked with the young player several major European sides He is expected to be kept under close watch during the World Cup with Brazil.

The hope in Brazil is that the tournament could be the moment when Europe’s elite seriously step up their search for an attacker.

But Bournemouth are trying to close the door on the matter before it escalates further.

Cherry is trying to hold on strong

according to espn brazilThe Premier League side have already made it clear to Ryan’s squad that they are not planning on selling him this summer, despite growing transfer interest and his recent call-up to the Brazil national football team.

Report says Bournemouth want to keep Both Ryan and fellow Brazilian Ivanilson As they prepare for the next season.

The stance suggests the club is trying to protect the core of the team that fueled their long unbeaten run and propelled Bournemouth into the European conversation this season.

Bournemouth’s message to the player’s camp appears to be very simple: the plan is to retain Ryan and continue building around him rather than making an instant buck.

The only thing that could seriously change the club’s stance would be a big World Cup move from Ryan, who would potentially make what the reports describe as “absurd” offers.

And given the pace of his rise, that scenario no longer seems unrealistic. In that context, local outlets Day Liverpool are now mentioned as an interested party.

Ryan forced his way into Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil plans just months after landing in England. In Brazil, journalists and pundits are considering him as a genuine contender for the World Cup squad rather than a promising young player simply gaining experience.

Bonuses have already started after Brazil call-up

ESPN Brazil also claim that Ryan has already activated a contractual bonus following the Brazil call-up.

Importantly, the bonus was included in his Bournemouth contract before he even received an international call-up, which says a lot about how strongly the club believed in his long-term trajectory when they signed him from Vasco.

The money goes directly to the player and does not generate additional income for Vasco.

Nevertheless, the Brazilian club may continue to receive future bonuses tied to performance terms agreed upon during the transfer. They reportedly include Premier League survival, appearances, sporting objectives and other targets linked to his development in England.

For Bournemouth, it all reinforces the feeling that they have got one of the biggest deals involving a Brazilian youth in recent years.

The club paid around €35m (£30m) to sign him in January. For now, it looks like money well spent.

Report reveals AEW’s hometown SmackDown ticket sales were terrible year after year

Ticket sales for tonight’s WWE SmackDown from the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida are significantly lower than where the company last played the building.

According to Racelytics, 6,704 of the existing 7,877 tickets have been sold, with approximately 1,173 tickets still available in the primary market ahead of the show.

The comparison to WWE’s most recent Jacksonville date makes for difficult reading. When WWE last played the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena on May 17, 2024, the company sold 10,093 tickets for the SmackDown tapings — a difference of about 3,400 tickets from where Tonight’s Show is currently playing.

Both dates are the same on the calendar, with a difference of only one week in time of year, making the drop-off hard to explain as a seasonal factor. However, it is interesting that this is happening in the city that is seen as the home of AEW since its inception in 2019.

It’s the go-home SmackDown for Backlash on Saturday in Tampa, a card that would normally generate increased interest in surrounding television programming. WWE’s year-to-date average for 2026 sits at 10,556 tickets per show, meaning tonight’s attendance will be well below that benchmark, even if the remaining tickets are sold before the bell.

Tonight’s SmackDown card featured Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss taking on Fatal Influence in a six-woman tag match with implications for the Backlash title match, Tiffany Stratton defending the Women’s United States Championship against Kianna James in Stratton’s first title defense, a Gunther in-ring promo following his attack on Cody Rhodes, and a Gingerbread Man final. The Rite segment in which Sami Zayn was included as part of the production. Their United States Championship rematch at Backlash.

Fans have become more vocal than ever about the product WWE is offering its audiences, as TKO seeks to maximize returns for profit in order to pay off the debt taken on to purchase WWE. WWE will try to rebuild any distrust with fans, otherwise they will risk losing more fans.

€25m transfer from Southampton needs to be funded through sales

southampton Midfielder Casper Zander is a target for VfB Stuttgart in the summer, but only if they can secure a sale first.

BILD reports that the 23-year-old is on Stuttgart’s listBut they need to sell someone before making a move for the midfielder.

Casper Zander has been earning praise for his performances with Southampton this season.

impress in southampton

He joined the Saints from 1.FC Nürnberg last summer in a €12m deal and has been a mainstay of the team since. He has particularly impressed as Southampton have flourished under Tonda Eckert.

The recent defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final was another demonstration of his talent and it appears clubs are noticing.

BILD report that it is ‘quite possible’ that the midfielder will play in Germany again next season. He is ‘particularly sought after’ by VfB Stuttgart.

But the problem for them is his €25m asking price. This is a figure that the German side can only afford if VfB sells a midfielder first. The newspaper does not speculate who he might be.

sale required

The obvious candidate would be Angelo Stiller. He is a rising star in Germany and has fans, Like Manchester United. He is also rated at €45m, which should provide Xander with funds to pursue further advances.

The Southampton star is currently valued at €12m. But BILD believes they would want at least double that to approve the sale.

However any consideration will of course depend on what division they are playing in. With promotion to the Premier League looming, it is highly unlikely that Southampton are considering selling Zander at this time.

Still, it seems they want a hefty fee to do so. A fee that Stuttgart, at the moment, cannot afford unless they first secure a major sale of their own.

Will the Arizona Cardinals draft plan at No. 3 be driven by increased ticket and merchandise sales?

At No. 3 in the NFL Draft, the assumption is that the Arizona Cardinals will take the best player available or address a major need. However, a new report suggests that bringing in a player who can increase revenues and improve brand identity may be a priority.

The Cardinals are one of the most interesting teams heading into this week’s NFL Draft. By having the third pick, they have the opportunity to bring in a player who can be a game-changer and be a core member of the roster for years to come. Players like Texas Tech’s David Bailey, Ohio State’s Arvel Reese and Notre Dame’s Jeremiah Love have been linked to the card at No. 3.

However, a case can be made that after a 3-14 season and firing their head coach, Arizona has a lot of problems and should trade up in Round 1 to acquire more picks this year and/or next year. That’s why he’s been linked to various trade rumors over the past few weeks.

Is Jeremiah Love an ideal pick for the Arizona Cardinals?

But the school of thought guiding the team’s draft plans this year may be different, especially with that option in Round 1: making more money. on Wednesday’s edition of ESPN RiseNFL insider Adam Schefter said that if they don’t trade up from No. 3 after years of going defense-first, they need to make a spectacular move that can create a spark, excitement and energy. That’s why they feel Love will be the player they choose.

Fellow NFL insider Peter Schrager then chimed in that the Cardinals were at the bottom of the league in merchandise and ticket sales. And after bringing in a new head coach in Mike LaFleur this offseason, it feels like 2026 will be a “fresh” start for the franchise.

Then, when NFL analyst Jason McCourty was asked what the best scenario would be for the Cardinals, he said, “Get your Jeremiah Love jerseys ready” because of the marketability of the talented running back.

For many NFL Draft evaluators, Love is the best player in this year’s class due to his great running skills and ability to make plays in the passing game. However, it is rare to see a running back reach such heights in the current NFL. But Love appears to be an exception because of his talent and what he could do for the Cardinals brand.
