Cristiano Giuntoli’s recent appearance at Tottenham Hotspur was a ‘clear indication’ that Spurs are ‘seriously exploring’ the possibility of appointing him.

This is according to Il Giornale, relayed by napoli magazine. The Italian newspaper reports that Giuntoli is set to return to football after leaving Juventus last summer.

The 54-year-old has been out of work since leaving Juventus last year after serving as sporting director for two years. He has also previously been sporting director of Napoli from 2015–2023 and sporting director of Carpi between 2009 and 2015.

Il Giornale now reports that he is ready to return to work and ‘seize the spotlight’. The fact that he has now been spotted at Tottenham in London is a ‘clear indication’ that Spurs are seriously exploring the possibility of hiring him.

football free agent director

While reports said he was only at the game against Crystal Palace to support Igor Tudor, whom he appointed at Juventus, the Italian newspaper says otherwise.

As far as he is concerned, he is a serious candidate to fill Spurs’ vacant sporting director role. However, if they were to move up, they would have to do so before Roma.

The road to the Italian capital is becoming increasingly concrete. There has recently been internal discord between manager Gian Piero Gasperini and his sporting director Frederic Massara.

That could lead to a reshuffle and Giuntoli’s ‘deep respect’ could provide motivation to get a deal done. So Tottenham need to be careful. Maybe that’s why the Italian was already in London this week.

paratisy loss

The question is whether Tottenham want another Italian sporting director after the high-impact but chaotic reign of Fabio Paratici.

Although he modernized the team with several big successful signings, he also had a lot of high cost, low impact signings. And the current squad, which includes many of the signings, is now fighting against demotion.

In fact, some would argue that Paratici’s time in charge is part of the reason why Tottenham currently find themselves in this position.

These wounds could worsen in the coming months, perhaps leading to another Italian like Giuntoli not being considered.

Both Liverpool and Chelsea are keeping an eye on Benfica youngster Daniel Banzaqui, according to a report from Portuguese newspaper to ball. However, the Premier League club may soon face a very difficult task if they decide to make a move.

The 17-year-old right-back is expected to sign a new long-term contract with Benfica when he turns 18 later this month. Banjaqui celebrates his birthday on March 24, which would allow the Portuguese club to offer him a deal running until 2031.

According to A Bola journalist Nuno Travassos, Benfica already have an agreement with the player’s representatives. So once he reaches the legal age to sign a longer professional contract the renewal is considered a formality.

That time is important. If Banzaqui were to sign before turning 18, the maximum contract length would have been three years. By waiting until the end of the month, Benfica can secure their long-term future and significantly strengthen their position.

Transfer interest and new release clause

The same report states that Liverpool and Chelsea are among the clubs keeping a close eye on the defender. Barcelona were previously named as interested, and Bayern Munich have also been mentioned in recent weeks.

However, Benfica’s contract plans would dramatically raise the hurdle for any potential suitor.

Banzaqui’s release clause will increase from €30m (£25.7m) to €80m (£68.6m) following the signing of the new deal. The figure reflects the club’s growing confidence in the defender’s ability and their desire to protect one of their most promising academy products.

The youngster has already made three appearances for Benfica’s first team. Jose Mourinho handed him his first FRENZ debut during a Portuguese Cup match in December.

Since then, Banjaqui has also featured twice in the Primeira Liga. Notably, he recorded an assist against Estrela da Amadora at the Estadio da Luz in January.

Why are Liverpool and Chelsea watching?

The 1.84 m tall Banjaqui is known for his physical strength and ability to win duels and tackles. Additionally, he contributes forward with crosses and dribbling from the right flank.

The Defender is often described as having a “locomotive” under the wing. He combines pace and power with aggressive defensive work and a willingness to support attacks.

His profile rose further after becoming an U17 World Cup winner with Portugal. That development helped him earn promotion to Benfica’s senior team under Jose Mourinho during the 2025/26 season.

Football also runs in the family. Banzaqui is the brother of Figo and Zidane Banzaqui, and the cousin of Maldín and Rivaldo Semedo, all of whom have had careers in the sport. His full name is ‘Armando’, which, according to family naming patterns, may be an allusion to Diego Maradona – although it may be a little longer.

In recent weeks, Banzaqui has been playing for Benfica B in Liga Portugal 2 while continuing his development primarily in the youth league setup.

Nevertheless, the growing list of elite clubs tracking him makes clear Benfica’s urgency to secure a new contract.

Both Liverpool and Chelsea have made a habit of targeting elite young defenders across Europe. The release clause, set at €80 million (£68.6 million), suggests that Benfica view Banzaqui as a player with that level of long-term potential.

However, for now, the message from Lisbon is clear: the teenager’s future is expected to remain at Benfica – at least until someone is ready to carry out that evaluation.

Nottingham Forest striker Lorenzo Lucca is not expected to require surgery on an ankle injury after being assessed in Rome today.

This is according to Aria Naples, Which today covers the 25-year-old man’s flight journey for medical consultation in Italy.

Sport Witness covered various reports on Friday explaining Lucca has an ankle injuryHence his recent absence from Nottingham Forest’s squads.

That first report was followed by a second explanation that he had gone to Italy For medical advice. He was supposed to be somewhere in Rome today.

no surgery required

Now provide Area Naples details. The Italian website reports that Lucca was tested today at the famous Villa Stuart facility in Rome.

He met with specialists at the Rome clinic, which is used by Napoli and others for their medical checks on new signings.

Those examinations have now been completed. According to his information, the tests lasted two hours before he left the Roman facility in Lucca. And this was good news too.

Early indications are that Lucca will not require surgery for this problem. In reality, the injury is not a major concern, and he should recover from the problem ‘as soon as possible’.

Napoli certainly hope so as they want Nottingham Forest to buy him permanently for €35m.

option to buy nottingham forest

The striker has barely made an impact at Nottingham Forest since arriving in the January transfer window.

He has made five appearances so far, but only 197 minutes in total. He has started two of them, and has scored one goal. This came in his debut match against Leeds United in early February.

As of now, Vitor Pereira doesn’t seem that keen on him. This led to reports that Nottingham Forest were unwilling to activate their option to purchase him. The ankle injury will definitely push him in that direction as well.

But with the problem not requiring surgery, Lucca has a chance to make his mark between now and the end of the season.

Brighton & Hove Albion scout Bert Konterman has informed the club about FC Twente youngster Ruud Nijstad.

This is according to the man himself, Via Twenty Insights. He admitted that he has approached Brighton about the 18-year-old as he continues to impress at the Dutch club.

Nijstad is considered by many to be one of the Netherlands’ most promising young talents. Some have compared him to a modern-day Gerard Piqué, praising his composure, skill with his left foot and ability to initiate attacks from defence.

He broke into Twente’s first team this season, and established himself as a highly sought-after prospect in the process.

Big clubs are monitoring him

He has been the subject of intense speculation even before the summer transfer window. Barcelona reportedly made significant efforts to sign him in the January transfer window.

Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham are all keeping an eye on the defender as well. It is unlikely that these three will be the only ones watching his performances in the Premier League.

According to him, Brighton are definitely aware of him kontermann. He admitted that he had already told the Seagulls about Nijstad. The matter was put to him during an appearance on D’Osttribune.

“I really enjoyed the match against Feyenoord,” He said.

“I just wrote down the ages of all the FC Twente players. It’s incredible that this is a team with so much potential for the coming years.

“Ruud Nijstad was fantastic, Stav Lemkin was good, Thomas van den Belt was important, Lammers was decent, and Orjsätter is getting better and better.”

“You say: If they stay together, Tijman van Wissing replied.

“I agree with that, but the point is that if you work for Brighton & Hove Albion, you also know that they have Nijstad on their radar. You probably already do.”

brighton tipped

“Right, I was impressed. I told them about it,” The Brighton scout replied.

“Those guys are not good enough yet for the first team (at a club like Brighton). You can buy them, but then you have to make a deal to keep them at FC Twente for two to three years.”

It would not be a surprise for Brighton to approve such a transfer deal. The Seagulls have certainly not been afraid to sign young players from the Netherlands.

Matt Wiffer, Yankuba Minteh and Jan Paul van Hecke are prime examples. All three are now first team regulars for Brighton under Fabian Herzeler.

Van Hecke gives the example of how Brighton sign young players early and loan them out to develop elsewhere. The club has also signed youngsters such as Yoon Do-young, Malik Yalkouye and Ibrahim Osman, who are currently on loan.

A similar deal would make a lot of sense for Nijstad, especially as competition looks to be increasing.

If you’re one of the fans who isn’t happy with WWE signing Danhausen, a new rumor claims you can blame World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk.

Some big events happened in the 2026 edition of Elimination Chamber. Rhea Ripley surprised some people at WrestleMania 42 by having a huge matchup with WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill. And Randy Orton has a shot at the WWE Undisputed belt next month.

However, one of the other notable moments was the reveal of what was in the mystery box. As reports surrounding the event suggest, it was AEW alumnus Danhausen. But the comedy-based wrestler received a warm welcome from WWE fans in Chicago last week.

Even now, despite an entertaining debut on WWE Raw this week, there are still some fans unhappy with his inclusion. Especially after former NJPW main event David Finlay signed with AEW because they received a better offer in free agency. Well, it looks like a top star was a big force behind the signing.

CM Punk behind WWE signing Danhausen?

According to the Wrestling Observer, current World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is pushing WWE decision makers to sign Danhausen.

The pair became friendly when the two shared a locker room in AEW and appeared in some funny videos at conventions during that time. The friendship continued after Punk left AEW in 2023, and they even made some video content together last year despite contracts with rival companies.

Only time will tell if the signing works out for WWE or not. So far, reports say the company is already happy with how well Danhausen’s merchandise has performed since its mixed debut. Still, it shows what kind of influence the Heavyweight Champion has in the promotion.

Real Madrid want to move Manchester City’s Rodri away from the Premier League after identifying him as their priority target.

This is according to journalist Alberto Pereiro, who covered it on Onda Cerro’s RadioEstadio Noche, as relayed by . sports world.

On 27 February, Khel Witness Covered claims from Spain That Real Madrid wants to sign the Manchester City star.

The Spain international will turn 30 in June, while the La Liga side have only spent money on youth players in recent years.

Therefore, in order to lure the midfielder away from the Etihad in the summer, Los Blancos will have to change their tactics.

Manchester City star is top priority for Real Madrid

The 29-year-old and Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbach are Real Madrid’s ‘top priorities’ for next season.

Pereiro reports that the Spanish giants have allocated €100 million to sign the pair and the funds for further contracts will depend on the sale of the players.

“The first €100 million that Real Madrid wants to spend this summer is on Rodrigo Hernandez and Schlotterbach. Whether Madrid makes more signings depends on what they sell this summer,” He said.

The journalist did not specify how much fee Real Madrid has allocated or intends to pay Pep Guardiola’s team for Rodri.

Earlier today, Sports Witness news broadcast from germany Real Madrid are no longer prioritizing Schlotterbach in defence. Los Blancos are eyeing Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate.

The Germany international and Konate are both 26 years old. However, the Frenchman’s contract expires in June and he has reportedly made up his mind to leave Anfield.

Real Madrid can sign Konate for free while they will have to agree terms with Borussia Dortmund to sign Schlotterbach.

Analysis: Rodri’s contract and value

If the Spanish club decide to move forward with Konate, they could allocate substantial money to sign Rodri.

The former Atletico Madrid player has less than 18 months left on his contract. His father recently said He “knows nothing” about his son’s future plans.

Mundo says it is unclear whether Manchester City is willing to sell the player at the price set by Real Madrid. transfer market He is now valued at €75 million, a figure that Real Madrid may not be able to match.

The English club do not need to raise funds and have the ability to absorb the financial blow and let Rodri leave for free in 2027. However, Guardiola is unlikely to stand in the way if he requests a transfer.

Tottenham Hotspur are banking on Luka Vuckovic amid Barcelona’s plans to bring him to La Liga.

is according to gameWhich covers when Barça will consider signing a Tottenham player in the summer.

The 19-year-old has been on loan at Hamburg SV since last summer and has impressed for the Bundesliga team.

His performances have been impressing the German club, and their fans dream of keeping him beyond this season.

The Tottenham-owned player also wants to continue playing alongside his brother Mario. He is in Hamburg and serving a doping ban until November.

Earlier today, Sports Witness news broadcast from germany Hansi Flick wants a new centre-back in the summer. Vuckovic is a substitute and Barcelona have had their first talks with his agent.

Barcelona’s plans for the Tottenham man

Sport relays this and provides its information on the possibility of the defender joining the Catalan club.

Pau Cubarci and Eric Garcia are both currently untouchables for Flick and Barça. The futures of Gerard Martin and Ronald Araújo need to be clarified, and if one of them is to leave, a new centre-back needs to come in.

In that case the Croatia international could be an option. The newspaper says the Spanish giants have lined themselves up with his agent Pini Zahavi.

It is worth noting that the representative has a ‘very close’ relationship with Barca president Joan Laporta and has a good relationship with the club. He also represents Fick and Robert Lewandowski.

Despite the close relationship with the agent, Sport say it is ‘not easy’ for the Blaugrana to move Vuckovic away from Tottenham. This is because the north London club are planning to rely on the central defender for the future.

However, Spurs’ ‘project is not progressing well, and the player also has doubts about joining a team’ which immediately sent him out on loan. Tottenham are now 16th in the table, one point above 18th-placed West Ham United.

Vuckovic’s contract and value

The Croatian has a contract with the Premier League team until 2030. The report suggests that Spurs paid €11m and he is now valued at €40m.

Sport may have taken this figure transfer marketThis has increased by €22m since Hamburg joined.

If Tottenham do sell Vuckovic, the fee they would ask would almost certainly be much more than €40m. Spurs are unlikely to sell a young talent with huge potential at a reasonable price.

Last weekend, sports witness Covered the latest on Juventus’ continued interest in Tottenham’s Randal Kolo Muani.

The Old Lady tried to sign the striker in January. Any deal at that point always seemed complicated and never came close to completion. That hasn’t stopped Juve from potentially keeping an eye on bringing the Frenchman back to Turin.

The striker has had his share of problems at Tottenham but has a goal under his belt under Igor Tudor. He impressed under the Croatian at Juve last season and this could prove vital for the rest of the current campaign.

Meanwhile, Juve are hopeful of re-signing him from Paris Saint-Germain.

Deal worth less than €50m

tuttosport Report that even though Juve want to keep Dusan Vlahovic, they would like another striker. The Tottenham player is seen as the perfect replacement, with the belief that he can work well with the Serbian.

Relocation is also considered economically attractive. This is because they feel Kolo Muani would cost just under €50m and is therefore affordable.

Tuttosport – a Turin newspaper – reports that ‘everything has been sorted’ over a summer deal with PSG. This will be crucial and Kolo Muani’s experience from last season is also weighing heavily in their favour.

Lois Openda, signed last summer, is expected to depart. This will give the current Tottenham player a chance to play regularly.

possibility of over-optimism

Tuttosport is no stranger to being over-optimistic about Juve. In fact, he was confident that Kolo Muani would join in the summer and then again in January.

This is another example of that. Juve and PSG were involved in a heated exchange of words last summer after the Italian side failed to sign the French player. The blame game continued for weeks, which is likely to affect relations between the clubs.

Given how PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi operates, the rift could very well continue. Juventus may believe everything is in its place, but it is PSG who takes the decisions.

In the last few weeks, sports witness Inter Milan have covered Arsenal’s interest in talent Francesco Pio Esposito.

Talk of the Gunners’ interest in the striker has increased since he played against them in the Champions League. The Italian did not score but remained a constant threat as Inter lost 3–1 at San Siro.

Since then, he has scored some big goals – including finding the net against Juventus in Serie A. This has played a role in raising Pio Esposito’s stature to new heights.

He has seven goals and six assists in all competitions this season.

Now, more details are emerging regarding Arsenal’s interest.

Arteta is a big fan of the Italian language

Arsenal’s interest has been raised gazzetta dello sport Today.

He makes it clear that Arsenal and Mikel Arteta were impressed with Pio Esposito after the Champions League game. The manager is said to have asked sporting director Andrea Berta to investigate the possibility of signing the striker, who has also caught the Italian’s attention.

This led Berta to immediately contact Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio. The Arsenal representative inquired about whether Pio Esposito is for sale and his asking price.

The Nerazzurri’s response was brief and firm, making it clear there was no room for negotiation.

They see the Italy international as an important part of their future and have no intention of selling him. This put an end to any possibility of Arsenal signing the player.

pio esposito is shining

Inter’s response is no surprise, given how quickly Pio Esposito has progressed.

He was the Serie B Player of the Season during the 2024/25 campaign, when he was loaned to Spezia. The 20-year-old already has three goals for the Azzurri.

Many expect him to play a leading role at the World Cup if Italy qualifies. This will only increase his valuation and send the message that he is one of the best young talents.

Manchester United are certain to sign a midfielder in the summer window, with Casemiro having already announced his exit. The 34-year-old player’s contract expires at the end of the season and will not be renewed.

This will lead to the Red Devils being in the market for a replacement, and the Newcastle United pair are being targeted. As reported by major Spanish newspaper AsManchester United has many targets and is already making efforts.

The men in question are Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes, Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson and Wolves’ Joao Gomes.

It’s nothing new for the latter three, they have all been endlessly linked with a move to Old Trafford.

It’s something Newcastle United claim is a step forward.

What’s new in transfer claims?

Informal contact is said to have been made, with Manchester United said to have contacted squads of both Magpies players.

In fact, it is even claimed that Casemiro recommended it. Guimaraes personally.

It is not clear how much confidence should be given to AS’s claims. Given the number of players mentioned and the information shared, if true it would be from a Manchester United source.

Additional information from Casemiro may point in that direction, but it all takes a lot to be believed. It’s unlikely Casemiro even knows who Manchester United are targeting as his replacement. It is equally unlikely that they have much say in that matter.

Newcastle United will be reluctant to sell anyone, especially to a Premier League rival in the summer. A lot will depend on whether the Magpies qualify for the Champions League and what their financial situation will be going forward.

Manchester United’s own involvement in the competition will also be important, although their finances are not as dependent on it as Newcastle’s.

For Sandro Tonali, A The return to Serie A has been pushed back The midfielder has been in Italy since his departure, and Juventus are trying to work out the finances for a move.

earlier this month, sports witness TuttoSport covers claims about Juventus stepping up their interest in Tottenham’s Randal Kolo Muani.

The striker was a target for the Bianconeri in the January transfer window. Nevertheless, a deal seemed difficult and fell through. Despite this, they have been keen and strangely seem optimistic about signing him in the summer.

Sport Witness explained that the idea was probably not as realistic as Juve think. More than that, it was going to further upset the PSG club. Juventus snapped him up in the summer after refusing to use his release clause and attempting a new loan.

PSG were not impressed and sent the player on loan to Tottenham.

Now, Tuttosport reports again about Kolo Muani.

The Tottenham player is still being pursued

Newspaper – Relayed by transfer marketThe report remains a hot topic in France International Turin. Despite struggles with signings in January, manager Luciano Spalletti also wants him.

There is a perception in Italy that relations between Juve and PSG are now better. Juve will be pushing for Kolo Muani even though Tottenham have not yet made a decision about possibly keeping him beyond the season.

It’s all likely to depend on the 27-year-old’s form over the next few months in London.

Tudor can bring more from Kolo Muani

The striker enjoyed his time at Juventus under Igor Tudor in the second half of last season. In fact, he was crucial in Champions League qualification, contributing eight goals in Serie A.

He has already shown similar signs by scoring against Arsenal at Tottenham. He also had another goal in the second half which was probably unfairly disallowed.

Spurs do not have the option to buy him permanently. But he is likely to have a better relationship with PSG than Juve. The Serie A side and the Parisians were involved in a heated battle of words following Kolo Muani’s move to London. With this in mind, it is difficult to see PSG agreeing to terms with Juve for the player in the near future.

Furthermore, Kolo Muani’s contract in Paris expires in 2028 and they would probably prefer his permanent transfer.

Chelsea hero Eden Hazard has revealed that Paris Saint-Germain tried every year to sign him with the Blues.

Hazard was a guest on RMC’s “Nuits du Cazare Enchaine” program on Friday evening. During that show, he revealed PSG’s relentless efforts to get him from Chelsea during his career.

The Belgian player, now retired, played for Lille, Chelsea and then Real Madrid in his career. Arguably, his time at Stamford Bridge was his most successful.

Chelsea’s success meant no need to leave

Hazard joined Chelsea in 2012 after a European battle for his signature and became one of their greatest players. Most would also like to include him in his best ever Premier League performance.

He played a total of 352 matches for the Blues and scored 110 goals during this period. This led them to two Premier League titles, two Europa League titles, one FA Cup and one League Cup. He was also voted Chelsea’s Player of the Year four times, a record at Stamford Bridge.

Moving to Real Madrid in 2019 fulfilled a childhood dream. But despite the record transfer fee, he failed to live up to expectations. Injuries caused him to play only 76 times before his contract expired a year early.

PSG rejected again

It was a disappointing end to his previously illustrious career at Chelsea. And things could have been very different. Hazard has now revealed that he was constantly targeted by PSG throughout his time in England.

“Every year I have contact with PSG,” He said.

“In my mind, it was very clear. When I left Lille, I said to myself: ‘I would not want to return to France to play for any other club than Lille. If I ever come back, it will be to play for Lille, for example to finish my career.’ For the people of Lille, for the North, I didn’t want to play for PSG.

“It was a great club. Nasser (Al-Khelaifi) was coming, there was a lot of money, and they always had a team capable of playing in the Champions League.

“Because things were going very well at Chelsea, my dream was to go to Real Madrid later, not PSG and then go to Real Madrid.”

Real Madrid are considering signing Manchester City star Rodri in the summer.

At least that’s what Spanish journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon is reporting. he took xFormerly known as Twitter, to cover Real Madrid’s interest in the Manchester City player.

Rodri suffered a serious injury in September 2024, a month before winning the Ballon d’Or. He had beaten Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior to the prestigious individual award two years ago.

On 11 February, Game Witness disseminated spanish claims “Something broke” between Real Madrid and Rodri after winning the Ballon d’Or. Therefore, the La Liga giants did not pursue him.

A day later, Rodri’s father said He had “no idea” when asked about his son’s future at Manchester City. The defensive midfielder has less than 18 months left on his contract at the Etihad.

Last week, former Spain international Gaizka Mendieta insisted He does not expect players to leave because of their attachment to Pep Guardiola’s team.

U-turn on Manchester City star

While earlier claims ruled out a move for the 29-year-old, Alvarez de Mon has now said that Real Madrid are still keen.

According to the journalist, ‘Rodri is the midfielder Real Madrid want’ Next season.

The former Atletico Madrid player has struggled with injuries in the first half of this season as he recovers from a serious concussion he suffered in 2024. However, he has been fit this calendar year and has played 14 times so far.

Alvarez de Mon reports that the Spanish capital club will continue to monitor his fitness until the World Cup.

This would mean that Real Madrid could make a final decision on the purchase after the World Cup. He further added that the Manchester City man would cost around €50m.

strategy needs to change

Over the past few years, Real Madrid have decided not to invest in players who are either 30 or nearing 30. Los Blancos are spending big on young players.

The last time the La Liga giants made a big investment on Eden Hazard was in 2019. The Belgian was 28 years old at the time, and the transfer was a disaster.

Rodri will turn 30 next June and Real Madrid will have to abandon their plans to sign him.

According to the Turkish outlet, Tottenham Hotspur defender Kevin Denzo is once again on Besiktas’ radar, with a meeting already held and a summer approach being planned. fan.

Besiktas president Serdal Adali has identified the Spurs centre-back as Emmanuel Agbadou’s preferred partner next season, the report says.

The Istanbul side are already planning their defensive structure for 2026-27 and have turned their attention to north London.

Fanatic says the contact was first made during the winter window. However, the clubs failed to reach an agreement due to financial conditions.

Previous negotiations and financial background

Tottenham signed Danso from Lens in July 2025 for €25m (approximately £21.5m). This figure now outlines any possible interactions.

At the time of first contact, Besiktas were reportedly working with a valuation close to €20m (£17.2m). It appears that the difference was decisive in January.

Nevertheless, new reports claim that a meeting has taken place with the Austrian defender. Denso is said to be receptive to Besiktas’ project. That detail is important, even if it doesn’t reflect Tottenham’s situation yet.

There is no indication that Spurs are actively looking to sell. The story is inspired by the Turkish side, with Besiktas preparing to re-open discussions once the transfer window opens.

What’s next for Tottenham?

For Tottenham, the situation depends on squad planning and assessment. Spurs invested €25m (£21.5m) less than a year ago, which strengthens their negotiating position.

If Besiktas return in the summer, they will likely need to bridge the previous financial gap. Otherwise, Tottenham will have little incentive to sanction a move.

Furthermore, Denso has developed into a reliable man for Tottenham. He played a key role in last season’s Europa League title-winning campaign, offering consistency and leadership during the knockout stages.

As a result, any potential departure would not be straightforward. Losing a defender who contributed to European silverware would be a significant blow to the team’s depth and experience heading into another demanding season.

At this stage, it appears that the foundation stone has been laid in Turkey. According to Fanatic, the next step will come when the summer window officially opens and Besiktas will again knock on the door of Tottenham.

in November, sports witness Regularly covered Sunderland’s interest in AC Milan striker Santiago Jimenez.

The Black Cats made contact for the player who had a disappointing first half of the season. It was believed that Regis Le Bris’s team had the advantage in the race, even though they were competing with Fenerbahce and Brentford.

Sunderland’s hopes of signing Jiménez were soon dealt a blow, as the player suffered a serious ankle injury. He was ruled out for three months and has not made any appearances since.

Now, the forward is set to return to action and Sunderland may still have a chance to get him.

Premier League clubs still keen

tuttosport Assess the player’s future. It has been clarified that Jimenez will undergo an important medical examination next week to determine when he can return to action.

There are encouraging signs that could happen in a matter of days. Once the medical results are known, Milan will follow a certain arrangement to get him back as soon as possible.

Although this would come as a boost, the Mexico international is still expected to leave in the summer. He did not reassure Max Allegri of a role in his starting line-up, forcing Milan to sign Nicklas Fulkrug in January.

Premier League clubs – possibly like Sunderland, are still interested.

Sunderland need €25m

The report also reveals Milan’s asking price, which is €25m. This is the minimum amount required, with the Italian giants having spent €35m to land him in January 2025.

Earning €25 million will ensure Milan don’t suffer too much.

In his first six months at San Siro, Jiménez scored five times and had two assists in Serie A. Things haven’t gone to plan under Allegri, but the Italian has always preferred tall centre-forwards anyway.

This shows that the 24-year-old could still be an important option for Sunderland if they choose to make a move for him.

Crystal Palace made a late attempt to sign Lyon’s Ruben Kluivert in the winter market.

On 2 February, Game Witness Covered claims from France Crystal Palace attempt to sign the defender on deadline day. The source revealed that the Eagles have held talks with Lyon and are keen to bring him to Selhurst Park.

Later that day, witness the game broadcast news Lyon immediately rejected the London club’s late approach for the 24-year-old. This is because they had no plans to approve the sale in the middle of the season.

The Ligue 1 side was against the centre-back’s exit from both a sporting and financial perspective.

There was no mention of the Dutchman’s stance on Crystal Palace’s interest and Lyon’s rejection of his advances. That was until he gave an interview to Le Progress west france Has released his comments.

Ruben Kluivert confused by Crystal Palace approach

The defender spent his career in the Netherlands until signing a contract with Casa Pisa in June 2024. He played 24 matches for the Portuguese club, and that was enough to convince Lyon, who signed him until July 2025.

Kluivert has operated primarily as a centre-back and occasionally as both a left and right-back for the French club, and has played 1,267 minutes in 19 matches. His contract is till 2030.

Lyon’s decision not to entertain Crystal Palace’s effort has pleased the player. He also talks about his Premier League dreams but insists he has no plans to leave in the near future.

Relief Lyon did not encourage Oliver Glasner’s team

“It was confusing, because it was so late in the day. I am happy to be here, 100% committed to this project in Lyon. We are still in the Europa League and the Coupe de France, we have a lot of games to play with a really fantastic team, and I am confident that we can go very far in all these competitions,” He said.

“For these reasons, I would say the club did the right thing by keeping me. Personally, I can’t deny that the Premier League remains a dream. But if I had to choose, I prefer the way things turned out. The club made the right choice.

“I signed a five-year contract with Lyon, and I see myself wanting to stay for at least two or three years. The fact that they wanted to keep me here was a relief.”

Despite an unsuccessful performance at Tennessee and being the backup in Green Bay the last two years, if teams like the Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns or Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to sign Malik Willis in free agency, it would be a ridiculous price.

While they had different results in 2025, the Dolphins, Browns and Steelers are all entering the offseason with the same issues. Figuring out who will be their starting quarterback next season.

Miami is expected to move on from Tua Tagovailoa this offseason after disappointing performances over the past two seasons and a trip to the Pro Bowl in 2023. Cleveland has options like Deshaun Watson and Shadure Sanders, but rumors suggest they will look at the QB market this offseason. Pittsburgh could run it back with Aaron Rodgers in 2026, but they need to find a long-term option at the position.

That’s why reports and speculation have linked all three to impending free agent Malik Willis. The third-round pick from the 2022 NFL Draft is viewed as the best QB available in free agency despite starting his career with the Tennessee Titans and then serving as a backup for the Green Bay Packers in 2024 and 2025.

Could Malik Willis get a deal worth more than $30 million annually?

Willis’ time in Green Bay and what he showed in limited action last season has created a lot of talk that the 26-year-old could be the next Sam Darnold or Daniel Jones. Due to the weak QB market this offseason and his untapped potential, Willis is clearly attracting a lot of interest, and it is driving up the asking price for teams that want to sign him.

As NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports, “As expected, Packers free agent QB Malik Willis is in demand, and the interested teams I spoke to at the combine in Indianapolis believe him getting at least $30 million per year is a foregone conclusion.”

A deal in the thirties would get them the same money as Darnold and Baker Mayfield. Players who proved more than enough during their careers and reached the playoffs. That’s a surprising amount of money Willis could get, but it’s the going rate for a demanding position that garners some of the biggest contracts in the NFL.

Baiser Enal has become a regular for NEC Nijmegen over the past two seasons. The youngster is now attracting the attention of Aston Villa – and rightfully so.

The versatile winger has made quite an impression for the Dutch side in the ongoing campaign. He has contributed five goals and seven assists, showing his versatility by starting regularly at wing-back.

This seems to have brought out the best in him, as the 21-year-old played up front last season but only scored once. In the past, he has also played as an attacking midfielder and right winger, but left wing-back has played to his strengths.

Now, his performances are helping NEC Nijmegen challenge for a surprise European place. They are tied for third in the Eredivisie on points with Ajax.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa is now emerging as a possible destination for Onal.

Why might Aston Villa tempt Onal?

Today, corriere dello sport A detailed look at the versatile attacker, his strengths and where his future could lie.

They make it clear that Onal is one of Nijmegen’s prized assets and he is now attracting the attention of major clubs. There is interest from Aston Villa but also from Atletico Madrid.

However, the villains may be in the driving seat. The main reason is that he will be tempted to switch to the Premier League.

The transfer could be facilitated by his contract, which expires in 2028. So far, there are no signs that the Türkiye U21s man will extend his stay at the Dutch club.

Anal is seeing incredible growth

The Turkish talent joins Nijmegen from De Graafschap for just €1m in 2024. At his former club, he contributed 30 goals in 83 games in all competitions, impressing at a young age.

At that time, his best performances came in a traditional left wing role, another example of Aston Villa’s versatility.

His price tag is currently unknown but Nijmegen will surely make high capital gains from the sale.

Golden State Warriors legend Stephen Curry is the latest NBA star to hit free agency, but the four-time champion and unanimous MVP isn’t moving away from the Bay Area. Over the past few weeks, serious drama has emerged between Curry and longtime sponsor Under Armor as Curry’s contract expires. Following this, Curry was seen rocking several sneaker brands both on the court and in the tunnel, narrowing his final choice down to three brands.

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

Steph Curry first signed to Under Armor in 2013, becoming the face of their basketball line and one of the first big-name athletes to join. The two sides released eight standalone, name-bearing models until the creation of the subset Curry brand in 2020. With Stephen Curry serving as president, he managed to sign other NBA talents such as the Spurs’ De’Aaron Fox and the Heat’s Davion Mitchell.

Curry’s split with Under Armour

– The Sporting News (@sportingnews) 19 February 2026

During contract negotiations and initial consideration that the Curry brand would move away from Under Armour, Under Armor displaced all Curry brand social media followers on their main Under Armor page. The move has caused a stir throughout the sneaker community as Curry continues to rock other brands during basketball activities. Fans have also taken notice and come to the defense of their favorite NBA star.

Where will Stephen Curry sign next?

under armor

While there may be rifts between the two sides, it’s hard to distance yourself from a partnership that has lasted nearly Curry’s entire career. In sneaker terms, Curry leaving Under Armor would be the equivalent of leaving the Warriors, which fans don’t even want to think about at this point. Keeping all of its assets organized and within Under Armor could help promote the Curry brand even more in the years to come.

Nike

There’s no doubt that most athletes would jump at the idea of ​​joining the biggest sports brand in the world. Nike has a long history with the best of the game like LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Michael Jordan, so it would make sense to make Curry its fourth Lifetime Athlete. Additionally, Curry has a close relationship with WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu, who is making history with her current Nike Sabrina signature sneaker line.

However, during their 2013 pitch to originally sign Curry, Nike made a huge mistake by mispronouncing “Stephen” and failing to prioritize him as a top athlete. Since Curry has been rocking a number of Nike sneakers before and during recent NBA games, there may be a chance he’s ready to make a mistake and bring the Curry brand to unimaginable heights.

The final brand that Soul Retriever originally reported made Curry’s final cut is Chinese sportswear brand ANTA. Curry has been seen endorsing recent ANTA sneakers during games thanks to his performance. However, Curry’s own “splash brother” Klay Thompson has been signed to ANTA since 2014 after leaving Nike, so he may be in Curry’s ear about the budding brand.

Additionally, Mavs’ Kyrie Irving serves as the Chief Creative Officer for ANTA and recently opened their first flagship location in the United States. Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Curry admitted that he respects emerging brands as he did when he joined Under Armor 13 years ago.

Curry is expected to make his decision in the coming weeks, with the NBA offseason likely being the latest deadline for an announcement. Remaining at Under Armor is the least likely outcome at this point and we’re all anxiously waiting to see where the Curry brand establishes its new roots.

Barcelona are considering the addition of Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush as they look to sign a summer striker.

according to gameThe Catalan club has already defined its priority positions for next season. A new number 9 sits at the top of that list. However, the market is weak and prices are rising rapidly.

Julian Alvarez His dream goal remains. Yet Atletico Madrid will demand around €150m (£130m), with Barcelona unable to reach that figure. As a result, alternatives are under discussion, and Marmoush is one of the names that is praised internally.

Why does the situation at Manchester City encourage transfers?

Marmoush joined Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 for €75m (£65m). Pep Guardiola approved the deal after taking a close look at his Bundesliga form.

In Frankfurt, the Egyptian established himself as one of the league’s most productive attackers. Barcelona’s recruitment team also followed him during that time. Given his dynamism and ability to link up play, they believe he fits into Hansi Flick’s attacking model.

However, his role at City has been limited. Erling Haaland remains untouched as a central striker. As a result, Marmoush struggled to gain regular starts, and was sometimes forced to play wide out.

He has performed well when coming off the bench, but opportunities have been limited this season. Additionally, he missed a month due to the Africa Cup of Nations. As a result, their total numbers appear modest.

There were already rumors of an exit in January. Sport reports that he would prefer a project offering more visibility and consistent minutes.

Importantly, Barcelona are not the only club keeping an eye on his situation. In recent weeks, Marmoush has also been linked to tottenham hotspur, aston villa And GalatasarayDue to which further uncertainty has increased in his future.

The end of his spell at City?

Barcelona are described as “ready” if Marmoush asks to leave this summer. The important thing is that he is not their first choice target. Still, if Alvarez’s move fails, the focus could quickly shift.

From the city’s perspective, the key question is valuation. Marmoush was valued at €75m (£65m) a year ago. However, Sport claim he could be available for less than that fee if Guardiola approves the sale.

That scenario will raise eyebrows. Selling him at such a discount so early would suggest City view him as surplus to requirements behind Haaland.

At present, there is no formal approach. Barcelona is monitoring the situation closely. A lot will depend on whether Marmoush pursues an exit after the season ends.

If he does so, Manchester City could face competition from England and Türkiye for his signature.

Guglielmo Vicario has been the No. 1 for Tottenham Hotspur since joining from Empoli in 2023.

Inter Milan have identified the goalkeeper as a target for the summer. Over the past few weeks, Sport Witness has relayed multiple sources from Italy on the Serie A side’s interest.

Earlier this month, we broadcast news He is happy at Tottenham but still wants to leave after this season.

game witness covered Italy’s recent claims Inter Milan’s willingness to sign the 29-year-old on a loan deal with an option to buy or a conditional obligation. However, this does not please Igor Tudor’s side.

The same report also mentions Juventus joining the race to snatch the stopper from Tottenham.

Why are Juve keen on the Tottenham player?

A recent report from gazzetta dello sport Considers that and includes the latest information about the old woman’s interest in Vicario.

Michele Di Gregorio is the first-choice goalkeeper for Juve manager Luciano Spalletti and has been unconvincing recently.

The newspaper says Di Gregorio’s ‘series of errors’ against Lazio, Nerazzurri and Como over the past two weeks have convinced Juventus to look for a new stopper. Therefore, ‘the search for a new number one continues at Juventus.’

Vicario is a priority target for Juventus

AC Milan star Mike Maignan’s contract expires in June, so this was previously being considered. juve
There are a number of names on their list and the Spurs man is ‘in pole position’. In other words, he is their priority target.

Gazzetta claims ‘the main road leads to London’ and Tottenham in particular because of the Italy international.

He will have two years left on his contract and the newspaper believes Spurs will not be able to demand more than €25-30m. This could be wishful thinking from Juve via Gazzetta. Vicario earns €4.5m per year at Spurs.

Both the fee and wages would suit the Turin club, who will have to overcome stiff competition from Inter Milan.

If Juventus fail to sign Vicario, Gazzetta reports they could turn their attention to Atalanta’s Marco Carneschi.

earlier this month, sports witness Italy’s claims about Liverpool’s interest in AS Roma’s Zeki Celik covered. With the defender’s contract situation complicated, Fulham and Newcastle United have also emerged as suitors.

The Turkey international has been one of the Giallorossi’s best players this season. He has one goal and two assists in Serie A. Even in the Europa League, he has contributed two goals, adapting well to Gian Piero Gasperini’s system.

The wing-back’s contract expires in the summer and so far, Roma have struggled to tie him down to a long-term deal. Many clubs are getting opportunities due to this.

Newcastle United and Fulham at the ground

today’s corriere dello sport report about the 29-year-old and describe him as an ‘international intrigue’.

The Turkish side have demanded €4m per season. Meanwhile, Roma have made it clear that this salary will not be sustainable and have responded with an offer of around €2.5m.

This won’t be enough for the player, with Fulham and Newcastle United competing for his signature. Juventus are also interested, with Stuttgart also in the running for the former Lille player.

Despite this uncertainty, Zeki Celik remains an important part of Gasperini’s team and his performances have not declined.

Signing could be crucial for Fulham and Newcastle

The defender has faced a lot of ups and downs in his Roma career. His first two seasons were filled with criticism and inconsistency but this did not stop Zeki Celik from improving from the previous season.

He has also played at centre-back and on the left side of the backline when desperately needed. This suggests the Türkiye international could be a valuable signing for both Fulham and Newcastle United.

For someone who can come for free, Zeki Celik can offer a lot to the first team. He also has European experience with both Roma and Lille and that would come in handy for Premier League clubs as well.

earlier this month, sports witness Calciomercato IT covered claims about Juventus’ interest in Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.

The Italian side was in contact with the Portuguese contingent. There have been no signs of renewal, with Bernardo’s contract expiring in the summer.

This was giving Juve hope for a free transfer, as they were expecting a decision in the next few weeks. The Old Lady were also preparing a two-year deal for the versatile midfielder.

There have been developments since then but it seems certain that the player will leave Manchester City.

Manchester City players listening to the offer

La Stampa – relayed by black and whiteCitizens mention star as Juve target.

He is sure he will leave Manchester City but his next club is still in danger. Despite interest from the Italian giants, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain also see the situation as an opportunity. Saudi Arabian clubs can also make big offers.

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old is listening to approaches from his agent Jorge Mendes. Juve have put their own offer on the table in an attempt to beat off the competition quickly.

Luciano Spalletti’s team has not received any response yet but is working towards achieving the goal. The Portugal international is seen as somewhat of a dream prospect, with his free agent status appealing to him.

Bernardo will depart as a club legend

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that the former Monaco player is still only 31 and has many years of football left in him.

Despite this, he has achieved a lot at Manchester City. He has played 442 times for Pep Guardiola in various positions. This season, he has become a fixture on the right wing in times of need, which says a lot about his availability.

Winning silverware again this season would go a long way in paying tribute to Bernardo, who deserves a lot of credit for his service.

After confirming that he would leave Manchester United at the end of the season, Casemiro has already attracted interest from Brazil. But no formal steps have been taken yet.

speaking on a local videocastSao Paulo football executive Rui Costa admitted that there had been informal contact with the midfielder shortly after the January announcement.

He detailed how this approach took place inside the club’s training ground: “One afternoon we were talking about it and one of our important players sent a message to Casemiro. Who wouldn’t want to have Casemiro in their team, right? I would!”

“He immediately replied that his project was not to return to Brazil, his project was to remain in another market,” He said.

“There was no offer”

Rui Costa was asked directly whether Sao Paulo – Casemiro’s youth club – had made an offer. He was emphatic in his answer.

“Does this mean that Sao Paulo have made an offer for Casemiro? No. Sao Paulo have not made any offer for Casemiro and, in my view, it would not be wise to do so without a clear picture of what our team will look like.”He said.

He also clarified the nature of the contact.

“Obviously I couldn’t find myself in that role, at least without understanding if they saw Sao Paulo as an option. That’s what we did.” He said. “There was no offer, no formal enquiry. It was through an important person in the group who sent them a message.”

According to Rui Costa, this occurred shortly after Casemiro publicly confirmed on 22 January that he would not be staying at Manchester United after this season.

Palmeiras and foreign competition

brazilian insider outlet Lecture Portal It is claimed that Palmeiras is also monitoring the situation. The midfielder is seen internally as a viable option for the club after becoming a free agent in June, As we covered earlier.

However, competition extends beyond brazil. The report cites interest from MLS side Inter Miami and Saudi clubs including Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad.

Nevertheless, Brazilian sources suggest that Casemiro’s preference remains to remain abroad, with the United States or Europe seen as his preferred destinations for 2026.

Brazil’s message to Manchester United is clear. The appreciation is there. Informal contact took place. But, at least so far, no concrete steps have been taken.

Arsenal’s position in the race for Julian Alvarez has been strengthened by fresh comments from Spanish journalist Guille Casquero, while Chelsea appear to sit one rung below the current hierarchy of interest.

talking to As Regarding the striker position, Casquero was clear about which clubs are pushing most. He said: “I know Barcelona wants him, Arsenal want him and PSG want him. All three want him strongly.”

Therefore, Arsenal were clearly placed among the clubs with strong intentions. Chelsea were not mentioned in that group.

It’s in line with what we have Covered by Argentina from North London. Arsenal have already shown solid financial ambition with an offer of €100m (£85m) plus €20m (£17m) which was rejected by Atletico Madrid. That move put him in direct conflict with the Spanish club’s stance.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have been linked through advanced contactsBut without the same level of public financial commitment. Casquero’s determination shows that Arsenal are seen as the more decisive actor on the outside in this race.

Atletico aware of pressure amid Arsenal interest

Casquero also made it clear that Atletico are fully aware of the level of attention around their forward.

He said: “I know that Atlético Madrid knows that Barcelona, ​​Arsenal and PSG, in my opinion, in that order, are very attentive to Julian.”

However, the situation is not straightforward for any lover. Importantly, Casquero provided insight into Álvarez’s mentality.

“Knowing Julian and knowing his family, Madrid is a very good fit for him. He loves living in Madrid and I think he wants things to be very good for him at Atletico Madrid.”

He continued: “He doesn’t want to go to Atlético without becoming a recognized champion. This has happened at every club he has gone to and he doesn’t want to break that sequence.”

In fact, Casquero even said: “I’m sure he wants to succeed at Atletico before going anywhere else.”

These nuances matter equally to Arsenal and Chelsea. While Arsenal have demonstrated financial strength and are clearly regarded as a strong contender, the player himself is not agitating for a move. However, the gunners are strongly positioned.

The challenge looks big for Chelsea. They are not among the club’s strongest forwards and currently look less than forceful in the fight, so they appear to be working through the lines and from the back.

In an unexpected comment, one of MLB’s best pitchers urged the Atlanta Braves to sign nine-year veteran Lucas Giolito.

Despite finishing 76-86 last year, there is legitimate excitement about the Braves for the 2026 season. Many believe that Ronald Acuña Jr. can be an MVP candidate again. They brought back impressive veteran Ha-seong Kim. All-Star closer Robert Suarez was added, and Spencer Strider will be another year removed from UCL surgery.

Strider and ace Chris Sale were drafted to lead a rotation that had the potential to become one of the best in the league. However, that group suffered massive losses last week. Hurston Waldrep and Spencer Schwellenbach are both expected to miss the majority of the 2026 season due to surgery on their pitching elbows.

While the Braves still have solid pitching depth, they are looking to the free agent market for potential options to fill Waldrep and Schwellenbach’s spots in the rotation. One player who has been linked to Atlanta is one-time All-Star Lucas Giolito.

The 31-year-old had a good season for the Boston Red Sox in 2025 after missing all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery. Yet, for some reason, he remains a free agent with a week-old spring training available to teams around the league.

Garrett Crockett leads Braves to sign Lucas Giolito

Well, his 2025 teammate Garrett Crockett believes that should end there, and claimed this week that the Braves are a “pretty obvious” spot where he should land.

“It doesn’t mean anything special. However, it’s been that way for a while,” Crochet told the media on Saturday when asked about Giolito still being available. “The middle of the market gets messed up on both the position player and pitching side and once the season starts either the signings end or what have you.”

He added, “…a lot of people never understand it here. The people who have, have stayed here for some reason in the past. I don’t think just because we’re being super analytical, we should look at it any different.” “When you look at depth, you’re looking at guys who are experienced and have done it, not guys who can do it. That’s not depth. It’s just another possibility.”

Giolito went 10-4 with a 3.41 ERA and struck out 121 batters in 145 innings last season.

Brighton & Hove Albion have emerged as a new contender to sign River Plate’s Lautaro Rivero.

is according to river newsWhich covers the latest on Brighton’s interest in the 22-year-old.

Rivero is a product of the Argentine club’s academy and spent 18 months on loan at Central Cordoba and returned to his parent club in June 2025.

Since then, the centre-back has been a regular for River Plate and his performances have attracted the attention of European clubs.

In the first half of this season, Sport Witness Covered claims from Argentina Interest from Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs reportedly took a look at him in the winter market but a move never materialised.

Two months ago, Sport Witness again News broadcast from South America Aston Villa’s replacement for Rivero.

Bryton Rivero joins Chase

Fast forward to February and Fabian Herzeler’s side were added to their list of English supporters.

Over the years, the Seagulls have regularly signed emerging talents from South America and sold some of them on at huge profits. Moises Caicedo and Alexis McAllister are two great examples.

Brighton have now set their sights on Rivero, who has already established himself as an ‘indispensable player’ at River Plate. His development and impressive performances have been noticed by several European clubs.

Seagulls add Argentina to shortlist

The report claims River Plate manager Marcelo Gallardo is aware of the growing interest and is concerned about losing Rivero in the next window.

As things stand, Brighton have added the defender to their shortlist but are yet to make an approach.

It’s very possible the Seagulls make a move to try to bring him to the Amex after this season. Should he make the move, River Noticias claim the South American club ‘will not let him go that easily.’

Rivero’s contract runs until December 2028, and includes $100m [€85m] Section. If he were to leave, it would likely be for a fee much less than his buyout clause.

Wolves have emerged as a new contender to sign Yassine Titraoui from Royal Charleroi SC.

That’s according to journalist Sascha Tavolieri, and he covers the latest on Wolves in his column sky sport ch.

The Algerian joined Jupiler Pro League from Paradou AC in July 2024 and quickly settled in Europe.

He played 62 matches and contributed 10 goals. [six goals and four assists] Of which four goals and two assists are from 30 matches this season.

Wolves accept Titraoui internally

The midfielder’s performances for the Belgian club have caught the attention of the Premier League side. The journalist says Wolves’ head of recruitment is personally leading the transfer.

This comes after Wolves Scouts laid the foundation stone. These authorities had repeatedly searched for the 22-year-old in Belgium, which Tavolieri claims is a sign of concrete interest in them.

Tavolieri claims Rob Edwards’ side are ‘very interested’ in Titraoui and are ‘seriously considering a move’ in the summer.

He says: ‘His [Titraoui’s] ‘The work rate, technical ability and attacking ability perfectly matches the profile Wolverhampton are looking for to strengthen their midfield.’

Competition and threat of degradation

Wolves are now bottom of the table, 17 points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest. In case of relegation, Titraoui will not move to Molineux because he does not want to play in the championship.

Furthermore, Edwards’ team will also face competition from other English clubs to sign him.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness Covered Claims Both Leeds United and Sunderland are interested in the Algerian. Daniel Farke’s side are ready to make approaches to bring him to Elland Road after this season.

Tavolieri does not mention any other clubs apart from Wolves but reports competition from England.

he states: ‘If the club remains in the Premier League, discussions can rapidly intensify and a concrete offer can be put forward. On the other hand, if they are relegated, other English clubs could make their move, particularly an ambitious newly promoted side looking to strengthen their squad to compete at the top level.’

No team should be happier than the Seattle Seahawks after coming off a stunning win in Super Bowl LX. However, like every other NFL team, there is still work to do before the next season begins.

Part of that process includes filling out the coaching staff after seeing offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak become head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Now that the Seahawks have hired their replacement playcaller, Brian Fleury, they can focus on the roster.

There will be a number of decisions made on key free agents whose prices are sure to have increased following Seattle’s successful playoff run. Players with expiring contracts include Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III and All-Pro receiver/returner Rashid Shahid.

However, according to Martyr, he would “love” to sign a contract extension that would keep him in Seattle for years to come. He recently acknowledged this in a conversation with NFL.com’s Judy Battista and NFL Network, saying he would like to “run it back” with his teammates.

“Absolutely, absolutely, yes,” said Shaheed. “The conversation is definitely going to heat up by March. But you know, I’d love to come back. I love the experience here, I love the Pacific Northwest, and obviously, the organization is second to none. I want to get back to running it. We just won the Super Bowl, so, you know, why not?”

The 27-year-old Martyr will certainly draw interest from other teams in free agency as well. So, if the Seahawks are serious about keeping him in town, they may want to negotiate a new deal and see what he’s really worth before allowing him to hit the open market.

Luka Vuckovic has starred for Hamburg SV since joining on loan from Tottenham Hotspur last summer.

The Bundesliga side have not secured a purchase option or obligation with Spurs, meaning he will have to return to north London after this season.

Last month, Sports Witness Relayed dismissive German reports Tottenham claim to have agreed to extend Vuckovic’s loan for another season.

Marilyn Polzin wants Vuckovic to stay

The German club face 1. FSV Mainz 05 in the league on Friday and their manager Merlin Polzin spoke at a press conference on Wednesday.

He talked about the player owned by Tottenham and image Has released his comments. The outlet claims Hamburg’s ‘big dream’ is to keep hold of the Croatia international beyond this season.

The coach has now made public his desire to extend the centre-back’s loan stay for another season.

“I am a person of strong beliefs. Of course, I also believe in things that seem impossible, even if they are a bit romantic about football. Nevertheless, there is a clear contractual agreement between the clubs.” He said.

“We are very grateful that we found a solution last summer. From the beginning with Luka’s camp it was clear that he only wanted to join HSV. The communication with Tottenham has been extremely professional, both last summer and now. We would be very interested in him to continue wearing the HSV jersey.”

The Tottenham man is attracting interest

sports witness recently Covered claims from Germany of Bayern Munich as a substitute for the 18-year-old. Bavarian club director Max Eberl was questioned two days ago about to sign it In summer.

Meanwhile, Vuckovic has expressed on several occasions his desire to extend his stay in Hamburg, primarily to play alongside his brother Mario.

Mario is serving a doping ban until November and the pair dream of playing together in Hamburg next season. Bild claims the Hamburg boss was skeptical when reacting to the possibility.

Polzin explained: “Considering what we can expect in approximately 270 days regarding Mario Vuckovic…”

The manager sees a bright future for the defender, who has a contract with Spurs until 2030.

“For me, the goal is not always to inspire players from our current perspective. I want them to get the most out of their careers. If we see a player performing like this at the age of 18, he can achieve a lot.” He added.

“In the coaching team we still see a lot of things about him that we don’t like. We’re working hard on them, because he’s very self-critical.”

Borussia Monchengladbach have already started to think about the long-term situation of Kota Takai, even though the defender is only on loan from Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the season.

This is according to the German outlet rhenish postWho report that Gladbach see potential in the 21-year-old, despite a costly mistake in the 3-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Japan international faced a tough battle in the final 20 minutes, with poor positioning and a loose first touch preventing a goal. Shortly afterwards, he lost again in a foot race.

Nevertheless, the overall assessment inside the club appears to be more measured. Takai previously impressed in his first full 90 minutes against Stuttgart and has shown flashes of quality in the Bundesliga. As a result, Gladbach aren’t just evaluating him on one bad afternoon.

The loan from Tottenham is structured without risk

Takai joined on direct loan from Tottenham in January. Financially, there is little risk for Gladbach in the move. There is no immediate obligation to buy, and a permanent deal after the season is currently considered unlikely due to cost.

However, the German side are already exploring creative scenarios that could keep him at the club beyond this campaign. Details of those ideas have not been disclosed. It is clear that Tottenham remain at the center of any decision.

For Spurs, the loan serves a clear purpose. Takai struggled for minutes after a long break in England. Regular Bundesliga football provides him with rhythm and performance at a high level. At 21, he remains more of a development project than a finished product.

what’s next for him

Takai is expected to receive significant playing time between now and May. This will give Tottenham a wider sample to assess their progress. It would also allow Gladbach to decide whether it made sense to pursue a more complex arrangement.

A permanent transfer this summer looks difficult at the moment. Nevertheless, early planning suggests that Gladbach has not ruled out trying to pursue a partnership. Of course, a lot will depend on how Takai responds on the pitch in the coming weeks.

Charlie Gray has been around in the Manchester City first team so far this season.

He has been on the bench several times in the Champions League and Premier League. Additionally, he made his first team debut in the Carabao Cup against Brentford in the quarter-finals.

Gray is now 19 years old and has also captained Manchester City U19 in the UEFA Youth League. He has been a regular in the competition, starting the last three matches and scoring against Real Madrid and HJK Helsinki.

Now there is a possibility of citizens losing talent in the next few months.

Bologna wants a young player from Manchester City

TuttoBolognaWeb Report regarding the player’s situation, making it clear that he intends to leave Manchester City. His contract at the Etihad expires in the summer and as things stand, there is no sign of it being renewed.

Bologna are keeping an eye on Gray and are interested in bringing him to Italy. The club’s management team highly values ​​the young player and wants to beat Lazio to his signature.

The deal is being hailed as a ‘big hit’ by directors Marco De Vaio and Giovanni Sartori. They are trying to lay the foundations for a move, with Premier League clubs also interested in the midfielder.

move can help gray

Bologna could prove to be a very good move for Gray. This is largely due to the club’s reputation for shrewd recruitment and developing young players.

He famously did this for Riccardo Calafiori and Joshua Zirkzee before they made the big step up to the Premier League. Recent Juventus signing Emil Holm has also developed well at Bologna after joining from Spezia. Santiago Castro is also a prime example with Premier League clubs To keep an eye On Argentina.

Sartori remains one of Italy’s most capable directors at the moment. He was crucial behind the rise of Atalanta and is also playing a role behind Bologna’s rise in stature.

Brighton & Hove Albion could ask for face-to-face talks with Cologne to seal a quick deal for Said El-Mala.

This is according to Sportbild. The German newspaper covered the 19-year-old today and said Brighton have ‘made the move’ to get him.

The Seagulls have been pursuing the forward since last summer. He then pressed to obtain him but met with resistance from Cologne.

Undeterred, he returned in the January transfer window with a renewed effort. Sport Witness covered it extensively at the time.

Earlier this month, they reported that they had made a written offer of around €30m. There was also an offer of 10 times the salary for the player on the table.

brighton will not give up

He was rejected but they are refusing to give up. Instead, several reports have detailed new efforts from Brighton ahead of the summer.

These include a double quote for El-Mala and his brother Malek. Guaranteed €25-26m in transfer fee. Reports in Germany have made it clear that they want to get a deal done before the summer.

Sportbild supports it. According to his knowledge, Brighton is ‘at the forefront’ of trying and ‘taking the initiative’.

They report that the Premier League club are preparing another offer after two rejections, although they do not expect it to be much higher than the €30m bid made in January.

But that would likely also include a request for a meeting between the club’s management.

The Seagulls don’t want to send a series of slightly modified proposals. Instead they would prefer to reach an agreement through substantive negotiations. The sooner they can do so, the better.

The situation is favorable to brighton

Whether Cologne will approve it remains to be seen. He has been feeling the pressure from Brighton for some time now. Sportbild also report that El Mala feels ‘increasingly vindicated’ in his desire to leave.

This happened after some rift with coach Lukas Kwasniok. He is leaving the rising star on the bench, which is not good.

According to the newspaper, this also applies to Brighton. It is not only pressuring El Mala to leave but also ensuring that its price does not rise further.

Perhaps that is why they now want to hold face-to-face talks, to take advantage of the situation and reach an agreement when the competition is not pushing.

Following the NBA trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors had an open two-way contract roster spot after Pat Spencer’s contract was converted to a standard deal. According to Jake Fisher of The Stein Line, after the All-Star break, the Warriors made a move to fill that roster spot by signing Nate Williams to a two-way contract.

The signing of Nate Williams now brings the Warriors’ roster to 14 standard deals and three two-way contracts. Under a two-way contract, Williams is limited in the amount of games he can be active for, but with the Warriors only having 27 games remaining in the regular season, he is in no danger of using them up. However, Williams would miss the playoffs.

After spending training camp with the Los Angeles Lakers, Williams was playing with the Long Island Nets, an affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets in the G League this season. He appeared in 35 games, a rate of approximately 34 minutes per game. He was averaging 18.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals with splits of 47.2 percent shooting from the field, 36.5 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 80 percent shooting from the free-throw line.

After going undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft, Williams got his NBA debut when he signed with the Portland Trail Blazers at the end of the 2022–23 season. This was his best performance to date, averaging a career-best 10.6 points and shooting 61.5 percent from the field in five games. He spent the 2023–24 and 2024–25 seasons with the Houston Rockets.

Following the All-Star break, the Warriors will resume play on Thursday, February 19 against the Boston Celtics. They are currently 29–26 and in eighth place in the Western Conference standings. Buoyed by the addition of Kristaps Porzingis at the deadline, the Warriors will look to make a move during the final months of the regular season.

Aston Villa signed Douglas Luiz on loan from Juventus and he was the only midfielder to arrive at Villa Park in the winter market.

Before signing the Brazilian on loan, Aston Villa considered a few options, including AC Milan’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

tuttosport Here’s a report on why Aston Villa failed to sign Loftus-Cheek, and what Milan’s plans are for him.

January interest in Loftus-Cheek

Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn and Youri Tielemans have all been on the sidelines since January. This encouraged Unai Emery’s side to consider other options before settling on Luiz.

The UK media were confident of the former Chelsea man moving to Aston Villa in the winter market, but that did not happen. Last month, Sport Witness covered Italy’s claim Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri blocked his San Siro exit in January.

TuttoSport picked up and covered the Premier League team and Lazio’s strong interest in the 30-year-old.

The newspaper says Maurizio Sarri and Emery put ‘intense pressure’ on Lazio and Aston Villa. Loftus-Cheek can play in multiple positions and this attracted both managers.

Aston Villa immediately rejected

However, the move never took shape as the England international ‘immediately rejected’ advances from the Biancocelesti and Villans as his preference is to remain at San Siro. He also rejected an offer of €10m per year from Saudi Arabia.

Loftus-Cheek has played 1,340 minutes in 26 matches for Milan this season and Allegri has used him in a number of roles. His contract expires in 2027. The Rossoneri could reward him for not entertaining the approaches of Aston Villa and Lazio in the winter market.

According to the report, he wants to extend his contract with the Italian club and negotiations are underway for a renewal.

The newspaper says: ‘There is strong momentum and positive sentiment building towards a definitive agreement in the coming weeks.’

Tuttosport are not sure about the length of the contract, but they believe it is until 2030. With this, he will stay in Milan till the age of 34.

Despite pressure from Emery, the potential renewal makes it more complicated for Aston Villa to consider signing Loftus-Cheek in the summer.
