Ruben Loftus-Cheek has explained why USMNT star Christian Pulisic, who is captain of his country, has become a “leader” for AC Milan. The United States international, who filled skipper duties at the 2024 Copa America, made a brave career call at club level when leaving Premier League giants Chelsea for San Siro in the summer of 2023. That decision was vindicated when enjoying a positive debut campaign in Italy. Pulisic posted a personal-best goal return of 15 efforts last season – with many of his appearances coming on the right flank – and Loftus-Cheek has said of seeing the 25-year-old…
Morata appeared destined to remain at Atletico Madrid despite the low release clause, having confirmed his love for the club. However, then Zlatan Ibrahimovic came along and managed to change his mind, fast forward to Milan announcing the signing on Friday. As stated by BILD this morning, cited by PianetaMilan, Diego Simeone is a huge admirer of Niclas Fullkrug and could prompt Atleti to pay a whopping €30m for his services.

Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton both escaped punishment for their dramatic collision in the Hungarian Grand Prix, with race stewards ruling “no driver was predominantly to blame” for the clash. It means Sunday’s race result remains unchanged, with Hamilton finishing third and Verstappen in fifth behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Verstappen leaves the Hungaroring – after a race in which he repeatedly expressed his frustration over the Red Bull team radio with both his car and the team’s strategy – with a reduced championship lead over Lando Norris, who finished second in an emphatic McLaren one-two, of 76 points heading to…
Sam Hauser has agreed to a four-year, $45 million contract extension with the Boston Celtics, according to multiple reports. Hauser, who went undrafted in 2021 out of the University of Virginia, signed with the Celtics that summer and has developed into a key reserve for the 2024 NBA champions.
