The Blues are believed to be in talks over what would be a very shrewd transfer for the Napoli hitman, but not all is as it seems Chelsea’s never-ending search for a capable No.9 has led them to Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, as the Premier League club have seemingly stepped up their longstanding interest in the Nigerian, who has made it clear he wants to leave Italy. According to The Athletic, the clubs are locked in negotiations over a remarkable swap deal that would see Osimhen move to Stamford Bridge on loan, while £97.5 million ($125m) flop Romelu Lukaku heads in the other…
AC Milan are keeping dialogue open with Udinese about Lazar Samardzic but they are currently in no rush to close the deal, a report claims. According to Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews), the Milan management consider Samardzic to be a very useful potential addition to the midfield department, a more creative presence who can play either as a mezzala or as a playmaker. However, we are not talking about a negotiation that can be finalised in the next few days because there are several details to be resolved, but the pursuit is ‘more alive than ever, concrete and possible’.

NBA player Kevin Durant is in Paris this summer as a member of USA Basketball. After missing only one shot in Team USA’s Olympic first match against Serbia, the forward for the Phoenix Suns topped all scorers with 23 points. In addition to being one of the world’s greatest basketball players, Durant leads a busy life off the court. In 2019, Durant and his business partner Rich Kleiman co-founded Boardroom, a sports, media, and entertainment firm. When Durant unveiled Boardroom’s Enterprising Eight on Tuesday, he revealed that Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese and Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark were among…
The Summer Olympic Games are well underway, and on Monday night the U.S. women’s basketball team—a group of the top players in the nation—won their opening match against Japan.

Even in their rookie seasons, Clark and Reese are still being compared to one another, and rumors about their “rivalry” that began with their matchup in the 2023 NCAA championship game are still circulating. Despite the…

The former Duke star is currently playing for Team USA, but he did not make an appearance during Sunday’s 110-84 victory over Serbia. Many speculated that Tatum was sick or hurt.

Angel Reese skipped the WNBA’s orange-carpet event on Thursday night, as the Chicago Sky rookie chose to attend an NBA Summer League game instead – and offered a bizarre criticism of the WNBA. Reese was selected to play in the WNBA All-Star Game this weekend, and the league marked the start of the weekend with a special event onsite in Phoenix. However, while Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson were among those to get dressed up for the orange-carpet, Reese was an entire state away, taking in NBA Summer League action in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was previously spotted alongside Celtics star Jaylen Brown and his…
Angel Reese is not playing in the Olympics for Team USA, but she’s travelled to Paris anyway – without her luggage. The Chicago Sky rookie, who played in her first WNBA All-Star Game last weekend, confirmed that she had landed in the French capital on Monday despite a major travel hiccup. ‘They lost our bags said we only get ‘$100 in euros’ to shop until they find them but we made it to Paris,’ she wrote on X. She had previously complained on Sunday night that the airport was a ‘ridiculous disaster.’ And later that night, she posted a picture of an advertisement which read: ‘Don’t let travelling to…

It did not take long to realize that Pavlovic was the preferred name. The 23-year-old made an impression while in Austria and started for Serbia at the European Championship. The most recent from Fabrizio Romano states that Pavlović has reached the position of “here we go!” for Milan. Serbian center defender Nikola Paunović has finally agreed to join from Salzburg as the second…
