wolverhampton wanderers Signed Fer López from Celta Vigo for around €23m in June 2025.

The attacking midfielder managed an assist in 364 minutes across 12 games for struggling Wolves.

Therefore, the English club allowed him to return to the La Liga team on a dry loan deal in the winter market.

This allowed the 22-year-old to enjoy regular minutes that were not available at Molineux. He played 1,432 minutes in 23 matches and scored two goals and one assist for Celta Vigo.

Last month, Spain U21 international gave a hint That he wants to extend his stay.

Earlier this month, Celta Vigo manager Claudio Giraldez said he was confident of finding a new deal for him this summer.

He said: : “Yes, I believe so. The first thing is that the club wants him. The second thing is that the player wants to stay here. Also, I think everyone who cares about him has seen that he has developed a lot during his stay here.”

Last week, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain The La Liga side are optimistic of securing a new deal following Wolves’ expulsion from the Premier League.

Celta’s interest in the Wolves man is not surprising

The Voice of GaliciaAccording to a local newspaper of the club, Celta Vigo is planning to carry out some operations first. This includes retaining Fer López, whose loan deal expires on June 30.

The Spanish club did not agree to a buyout clause in January and had to agree new terms with Wolves in the summer.

The Wolves man’s loan spell has revealed Celta Vigo is his ‘natural habitat for success’, it has been claimed.

Both club and player want to extend his stay, and the newspaper talks about ‘negotiations over Fer López continuity’. However, the deal will not be straightforward as the ‘deciding factors’ will be the money and interest shown by other clubs.

Growing interest could be in Wolves’ favor

Wolves could take advantage if other clubs move to sign Fer López. If these clubs offer better terms than those offered by Celta Vigo, the matter will become more complicated.

It will then be up to Wolves and any interested party to convince him to opt for the Spanish club.

If that happens, Rob Edwards’ side could accept the offer that best suits them.

A new rumor suggests that the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks will eventually be joined by a fourth NBA team in Texas. But it won’t be a new team at all, and instead, Portland Trail Blazers fans will be heartbroken.

Aside from the ongoing playoffs and the upcoming NBA Draft, one of the biggest stories in the league’s offices is on expansion. With the NFL raking in the big bucks with 32 teams, the world’s top basketball league is also looking to squeeze more money out of its massive fan base.

All indications are that the league will add two more teams in the next few years, and they will likely be in Las Vegas and the returning Seattle SuperSonics. Even with those additions, it still means California remains the state with the most NBA teams – the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings.

However, according to Bill Oram of the Oregonian, Texas, the state with the most land area in the union, may soon join California with four teams in the National Basketball Association.

Could the Portland Trail Blazers be moved to Austin, Texas?

What’s interesting about Oram’s comment is that Dundon is the majority owner of the Carolina Hurricanes and Trail Blazers. The NBA reporter is not suggesting that the billionaire would buy another team — nor could he. And that’s not to say Dundon would sell his stake in the Trail Blazers less than a decade after purchasing it. No, he’s insisting he’ll take the Trail Blazers to Austin.

Such a move would be heartbreaking for basketball fans in the Northwest, especially since they are likely to get the SuperSonics back after relocating to Oklahoma City in 2008. However, considering how long it took to get two more teams in the NBA, two more teams seems a long way away after that.

While some New York Mets fans have pondered the idea of ​​a Mike Trout trade, a notable team insider explained on Friday why it’s extremely unlikely.

The Mets have played better last week. They have won four of their last six and back-to-back series before their game on Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Still, they enter the weekend with a very disappointing 14-23 record.

A variety of issues can be raised for a team’s poor results. However, the performance of the extremely expensive batting order has surprised many people. Yes, injuries to players like Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor and Jorge Polanco have been debilitating. But his hitting should be better than ever. The injuries have nothing to do with poor play from Bo Bichette, Francisco Alvarez and Marcus Semien.

Mike Trout Stats: .260 AVG, .429 OBP, .550 SLG, .979 OPS, 11 HR, 23 RBI, 32 R, 5 SB

That’s why fans and analysts have speculated that the team could make a trade to boost their struggling offense. One name that has come up in recent weeks is that of future Hall of Famer Mike Trout. After battling injuries for six consecutive seasons, the Los Angeles Angels ace is looking like his old self in 2026. He hit 11 homers and drove in 32 runs in the team’s first 37 games.

The idea of ​​a Mike Trout trade was brought up by a fan in a new Mailbag article by The Athletic’s Mets insider Tim Britton. Interestingly, he admitted that he would love to cover the three-time MVP and could “imagine a scenario, no matter how narrow, in which it would make even an iota of sense for the Mets.” However, he also explained why team president David Stearns would never consider it.

The 11-time All-Star is making more than $37 million per year through his 38 seasons through 2030. If he were signed for another season, Stearns might consider it. But four more is too many for an executive who doesn’t like long-term investments in players over 30.

In addition to seeing a great player in New York, local fans have always been thrilled with the idea of ​​Trout playing in Gotham since he is a New Jersey native. However, there has been speculation over the years about him suiting up for his boyhood team, the New York Yankees.

After months of intense debate and evaluation of players, the Arizona Cardinals are finally ready to use the third overall selection on who they hope can become a franchise cornerstone. Of course, Cardinals general manager Monty Ossenfort could find a trade offer too good to refuse, allowing Arizona to add to their draft capital while still getting a prospect they like a lot.

Still, the Cardinals themselves may not yet know what they’ll be doing on draft day. Like most other teams, the Cardinals’ plans may depend on how the draft board goes past them, with the Jets selecting at No. 2, and rumor that they are targeting a pass-rusher.

According to NFL insider Tony Pauline of Essential Sports, the Cardinals’ GM “wants” Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey. If he is no longer available, the Cardinals front office will “try hard” to trade up in the first round.

Pauline wrote, “The Cardinals, especially general manager Monty Ossenfort, want David Bailey.” “If he’s not available, Arizona will work hard to move the selection up. They could potentially move the selection up before the draft starts. If Bailey is unavailable and they can’t move up the selection, I’m told it’s unlikely they select Arvel Reese, as they view him as a hybrid defender versus a pure edge rusher, and the Cardinals have bombed out on hybrid selections in the past.”

The Cardinals have attempted to draft guys who have no natural home in the NFL, such as eight-year-old Isaiah Simmons in 2020 and 16-year-old Zavon Collins in 2021. Neither one has lived up to their potential, and the fear is that Reese won’t either.

However, Ossenfort wasn’t even with the Cardinals in 2020 or 2021, meaning he had nothing to do with the Cardinals’ previous draft misses. One would think this shouldn’t impact how the Cardinals pursue draft prospects, but unless Pauline’s report is a smokescreen, Arizona doesn’t appear to be too impressed with Reese, leaving us to wonder how far Ohio State could fall on hybrid draft day.

When selecting so late in the NFL Draft, as Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has become accustomed to, it becomes difficult to predict which prospects will be available in the latter half of the first round. Of course, as mentioned, this is nothing new for the Bills, who haven’t had a top-10 selection since making Ed Oliver the ninth overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.

This time, the Bills don’t have a pick until No. 26 in the first round. Most Bills draft projections expect the team to focus on a wide receiver or defender. It turns out, the Bills’ evaluators have invested a lot of time exploring a specific position on defense.

According to NFL insider Tony Pauline of Essential Sports, the Bills have done an “extreme amount of work” on off-ball linebacker prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft.

“In my first-round mock draft, I had Buffalo select Georgia’s C.J. Allen,” Pauline wrote. “I’m told the Bills, who don’t have a selection until No. 91 after their pick in the early frame, are doing a lot of work on off-ball linebackers.”

Allen has been a common choice for the Bills at No. 26. He is viewed as the second-best pure linebacker prospect behind Ohio State star Sonny Styles and a potential first-round selection after clocking a 4.47 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.

The Bills have a total of seven selections in the NFL Draft, including Nos. 26 and 91. After that, the chances of finding an immediate contributor diminish significantly, but the Bills will still have five chances to find someone who can crack their roster.

After months of evaluation and debate, the 2026 NFL Draft will finally begin with the first round of the event on April 23. The Arizona Cardinals have the third overall pick in the first round, and there is a lot of mystery over what direction general manager Monty Ossenfort is going with.

The Cardinals could take an offensive tackle, but with Paris Johnson solidified on the left side, selecting a right tackle looks like going No. 3. The pass-rusher needs to be in the game, but the Cardinals are already committed to a $76 million contract with Josh Sweat, though he could certainly use help on the other side.

Meanwhile, there has also been talk of the Cardinals being open to a trade in the fall, where they would have a great opportunity to address multiple needs for a team with no identity, or even a starting quarterback for 2026.

According to NFL insider Tony Pauline of Essential Sports, the Cardinals “want an edge rusher with the third pick, which will likely mean David Bailey if he goes ahead of the Jets.” Poulin adds that “Ossenfort will consider moving to the bottom of Round 1 and drafting quarterback Ty Simpson if the opportunity arises.”

Simpson being selected in the first round will come as a draft day surprise, but it’s not too far off from his projections as a second-round selection. Additionally, QBs are often selected ahead of projections, and in a year where Simpson may be viewed as the only other starting-caliber option as a rookie outside of Fernando Mendoza, it makes sense for the Cardinals to make sure they get their guy.

For now, the Cardinals have seven draft selections, one in each round. This includes No. 3, No. 32, and No. 65. Chances are, at least one of those picks will be used on a QB, and it won’t be No. 3.

Claiming the sixth and 24th overall selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns are in an advantageous position on April 23. They are one of five teams with two first-round selections. Still, even after Day 1, the Browns still have a chance to add some potential starters, as they also have the 39th, 70th, and 107th overall picks, for a total of nine picks.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry will have plenty of opportunities to address Cleveland’s biggest needs. But some weaknesses are more glaring than others, and the Browns are expected to address them soon.

According to NFL insider Tony Pauline of Essential Sports, “AB wants a quicker O-line and has been telling people that since last season.”

Several offensive tackle prospects are projected to be selected in the first round, and with so many top pass-rushers available at the top, the Browns are expected to be the first team to select a lineman. That means they’ll have to take first look at the top offensive lineman on their draft board, whether it’s someone like Fano or Francis Mauigoa, or another prospect that Cleveland feels can handle at left tackle, remains to be seen.

Pauline’s sources say the Browns also will not trade All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett this offseason. With Garrett under contract through 2029, there is no incentive for Cleveland to part with a “generational talent” who has broken the NFL’s single-season sack record.

Galatasaray are preparing a big move for Aston Villa midfielder Amadou Onana in the summer, who is being regarded as a dream signing.

news yellow red report On today’s comments from Galatasaray reporter Kagan Dursun. According to their information, Onana is the big signing that manager Okan Buruk wants this summer.

“Okan Buruc has a dream of bringing Amadou Onana into the midfield,” he said.

“It is a difficult transfer, but at the request of the coach, an investigation will be carried out at the end of the season. Even if Onana is not available, the coach wants a midfielder of that profile.”

aston villa resistance

While Dursun has personally requested to sign the 24-year-old from Aston Villa, the transfer is believed to be difficult.

Amadou Onana is currently linked to Aston Villa until 2029 and remains a regular under Unai Emery. He has made 31 appearances in all competitions this season, totaling 2203 minutes.

That’s despite being constantly troubled by hamstring and hamstring injuries. Without these, his appearances and minutes would undoubtedly be higher.

high asking price

There is also the question of price. Derson made no mention of a potential fee, but Aston Villa’s demands would certainly be high.

The Villans paid €59.35m to sign Onana in 2024 and Transfermarkt currently rates him at €45m. Galatasaray will have to dig deep to knock Villa out of the park, even with their big spending over the last few windows.

This figure is also likely to increase if the midfielder has a good World Cup with Belgium. Even if he doesn’t, the three years remaining on his deal means Aston Villa have the power.

Still, it appears the idea is on for Galatasaray, thanks to a request from their manager. The Turkish side has not hesitated To target big name signatures in the recent windowAnd Onana appears to be next on their list.

A new rumor suggests that an elite prospect is generating a lot of momentum to land with teams like the Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets or Washington Wizards as the No. 1 pick in June’s NBA Draft.

One of the biggest stories as we approach the end of the NBA regular season, for all the wrong reasons, is the race to the bottom of the standings. While the lottery was created to prevent franchises from having to take the top overall pick, there is a battle going on between the NBA’s worst teams to get the top pick in June.

While tanking is nothing new in the NBA, right now it is worse than most years because there is a very strong class of prospects declaring for the 2026 NBA Draft. So even if a team doesn’t get the No. 1 overall pick, a top-three selection could yield franchise-changing talent.

As we enter the final week of the season, the Pacers, Nets, and Wizards currently have the best chances (14% chance) to win the No. 1 pick. The NCAA Tournament is underway and the discussion is going on about who will be No. 1. And according to ESPN’s Jeremy Wu, it looks like it will be the same player whose team was eliminated in Round 1.

AJ DiBantsa the new favorite to go No. 1 in the 2026 NBA Draft?

“Based on conversations with sources around the NBA in recent weeks, the prospects are leaning toward AJ DiBuntsa as the No. 1 pick,” Wu wrote in a new Draft Stock Watch article.

Throughout the college basketball season, BYU’s freshman has been viewed as a potential No. 1 pick in June. He led the nation in scoring (25.5 points) and led the Cougars to a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Unfortunately, they were eliminated by Texas in the opening round.

Until recently, Kansas star Darrin Peterson was viewed as the favorite to go first because of his NBA-ready game. Unfortunately, injuries and questions about his dedication to the Jayhawks have hurt his standing with many draft experts. Any one of these guys would be a great option if the Pacers, Nets or Wizards land the No. 1 pick.
