west ham united Nicklas Fulkrug may consider letting him leave on a free transfer this summer as his wages would be unviable in the Championship.

BILD reports on the 33-year-old today. He faces an interesting summer after missing out on the World Cup following an unsuccessful loan spell at AC Milan.

west ham comeback

The striker was expected to be part of the team to travel to the United States, Canada and Mexico. He has even been in regular touch with Julian Nagelsmann for the past few months. Nagelsmann has consistently stressed the importance of the West Ham striker to the team.

When selected, he performed consistently well for Germany. But his form for West Ham and Milan over the last two years has been very disappointing. Several long-term injuries didn’t help.

Now he is out of the picture and needs to use the summer to decide on his future. It is a question of staying abroad or returning to Germany.

For now, he will return to West Ham after his loan spell at Milan. But BILD says it is ‘virtually impossible’ that it will remain there.

The striker would be very expensive for the Championship, with an estimated net salary of €4.5m. West Ham are therefore willing to let him go in order to free him from the ‘minimum transfer fee’ or wage bill.

werder bremen prospects

This presents a huge opportunity for his former club Werder Bremen. They wanted to sign him in January and Niklas Fulkrug was open to the idea. However, the deal was not economically feasible at the time.

That could change if Fulkrug receives a ‘substantial severance package’ to leave West Ham early. In that scenario, financial considerations would be secondary.

He wants to be needed, to showcase his talents and to enjoy playing football. And he wants to live near his birthplace: Hanover. Bremen is just an hour away, so their case will be strong. VfL Wolfsburg is another option.

The United States is also an option, but it does not want that. And there is interest in Italy, but his inclination is more towards Germany. Firstly, it will depend on what West Ham do, with free transfers not off the table.

ranger people‘Youssef Chermiti has enjoyed good form since arriving at Ibrox from Everton in September 2025. He featured regularly under Russell Martin and has kept his place since Danny Rohl took charge in October.

The striker’s performances for Rangers convinced Fenerbahçe to make an attempt in the winter market.

Rohl’s side rejected their initial offer in January, and subsequently, Sport Witness broadcast news Fenerbahçe are pushing for a move away from Ibrox. The Yellow Canary was not successful as the 21-year-old is still at Rangers.

The Portugal U21 international has impressed for Rangers this season, scoring 11 goals and providing three assists in 36 appearances.

His Scottish Premiership statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 25
• Start: 15
• Total minutes: 1,523
• Minutes per game: 61
• Target: 61
• Assist: 3
• Expected target: 10.08
• Expected Support: 1.34
• Big chances missed: 16

Earlier this month, Sport Witness broadcast news of PSV Eindhoven as a substitute for him.

Solid interest from PSV in Rangers player

Africa Foot Now let’s focus on that and provide an update on the Eredivisie side’s efforts and Rangers’ stance.

The Dutch club have taken a further step forward by initiating contact with Youssef Charmiti’s agent over a potential summer transfer.

Although PSV Eindhoven are showing solid interest, the situation with Rangers is now a major hurdle.

Danny Rohl’s side intend to capitalize on the frontman’s upside, and they plan to collect a ‘substantial transfer fee’. There is no mention of a demand from the Ibrox club but it is not within PSV’s reach.

Before his move to Rangers, Spanish and English clubs tried to sign him. His performances for the Scottish club have seen him attract interest from clubs across Europe.

The report makes no mention of any other club apart from PSV, meaning he would have several options to leave Ibrox.

Therefore, PSV will have to act fast and convince both the player and Rangers to give them a chance to secure his services. This seems challenging mainly because of the fees required to please the Ibrox club.

Contract, price and agent information

transfer market Youssef Chermiti is now valued at €9m, who is under contract with Rangers until 2029.

Danny Rohl’s side could demand a much higher fee than that to part ways with him in the summer. The Ibrox man is represented by British agency, CAA Stellar.

Dutch side NEC Nijmegen are looking at the summer of Robinhood Sunderland Closely because they stand to benefit from a ‘substantial’ sales volume.

Voetbal 4 U covers the 23-year-old goalkeeper today And how a €70 million move this summer could massively benefit his old club.

NEC sold Roughs to Sunderland in a €10.5m deal last year, a ‘shocking’ fee for them at the time. But he has performed so well for the Black Cats since then that it now looks like a bargain.

Roffs is now valued at €25m but is being linked with a potential €70m transfer to Chelsea this summer. They’re not the only big clubs looking.

Great news for NEC Nijmegen

While this would be a huge move for Sunderland, it would also be ‘excellent news’ for NEC Nijmegen.

This is because he negotiated a ‘substantial’ sell clause during transfer talks with Sunderland last summer. Reportedly, this clause entitles him to the full 10% of any profits Sunderland makes. /

Based on the figures mentioned, Sunderland will make a profit of €58.2m. NEC will then receive a further €5.82 million from the deal. But the profits don’t stop here.

If Robinhood completes the transfer of €68.7m, NEC is also entitled to a solidarity contribution of the substantial amount of €3.09m. When combined with the proceeds from the initial sale, NEC’s total earnings from Sunderland for the Roughs would amount to more than €19m.

Would Sunderland agree a Roofes transfer?

The question is whether Sunderland will sell Robin Roughs this summer. Losing him after his impressive first season would be a huge blow.

But the prospect of making a big profit on a player who costs just over €10 million will be attractive to the Black Cats, who will likely look to spend big again this summer.

Either way, the NEC will keep a close eye. The Dutch club would stand to gain massively if Rolf leaves the Stadium of Light this summer.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the league office are in the process of developing new anti-tanking rules for the 2026-27 season. In addition to contacting all 30 general managers in the league about the issue after the All-Star break in February, Silver talked about the idea of ​​tanking throughout the league and what he plans to do about it on Friday.

“We’re going to make substantial changes for next year,” Silver said at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston on Friday morning, per Mike Vorkunov and Jared Weiss of The Athletic. “On the one hand, you could completely separate the draft from teams’ records… That would be a huge shock to the system. We can’t completely predict where we’re going to go, but I’m an incrementalist.”

In conversations with the Board of Governors, Competition Committee and league general managers, Silver and the NBA have begun discussing several concepts to end tanking.

Some of the changes discussed in talks include modifying the way pick protection works, freezing lottery odds on a specific date in the season, eliminating the possibility of teams receiving the top four picks in consecutive years, allocating lottery odds based on a two-year window, leveling the odds for all teams, etc.

This new concept, proposed and discussed by Silver in Boston on Friday, would certainly be a “substantial change,” as first-round draft picks would no longer be determined by where all 30 teams finish in the final standings. Essentially, this will make tanking irrelevant as trying to lose games to get a better draft pick will no longer be relevant.

At this time, it’s unclear what exactly the league’s anti-tanking rules will change. Silver was simply giving a glimpse of what some of the topics being discussed are and what scrimmages may be on the horizon ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Adam Silver, the NBA is already punishing tanking

While the league continues to evaluate the tanking scenario and changes that need to be made, Silver acknowledged there is a difference between organizations that are rebuilding and those that have already lost a season.

The NBA does not want to punish teams for playing their young players late in the season, but rather wants to prevent teams from signing out too many players with the intention of losing.

The Indiana Pacers and Utah Jazz both received heavy fines for the same reason.

While the Pacers were fined $100,000 for violating the player participation policy by excluding players deemed healthy by an independent physician, the Jazz were fined $500,000 for “conduct detrimental to the league.”

Utah removed star talents such as Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. from their games against the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat on February 7 and February 9, respectively, before the fourth quarter, and neither player returned for the final 12 minutes of the game.

Upon review, the NBA stated that both players were able to continue playing, but the Jazz decided not to reinstate them, leading the league to believe that the Jazz were intentionally trying to lose. Ultimately, the Jazz lost to the Magic 120–117 after blowing a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter, but Utah actually defeated the Heat 115–111 without Markkanen and Jackson playing in the fourth.

On Friday, Silver acknowledged that he’s more concerned about the moral changes in tanking this year due to what he called the “perfect storm” of a promising draft this June, which will be followed by less-talented draftees over the next few years, according to Weiss.

“There’s been a stigma around certain behaviors, and I think that’s a broader societal issue. I think in other aspects of society, the guardrails have come down a little bit.”

During his annual All-Star Weekend press conference, Silver said that tanking during the 2025–26 NBA season is “worse” than ever in recent memory and that the league will consider “every possible measure” to fix the problems that exist within the current draft and lottery system.

As a result, Silver and the NBA will spend much of the next few months implementing the new changes before the 2026-27 season officially begins in July.
