While the NBA Finals have been a great surprise showing from the Indiana Pacers, the playoffs have been a very disappointing one for the entire Pacific Division. From the LA Clippers to the Los Angeles Lakers, each team needs some sort of change. Former LA Clippers forward Marcus Morris believes the Lakers may need a controversial change, by trading the team’s third-best player. “Any team with Luka and LeBron on it has a chance. I think that some things that they need to do — If I was a GM, I would move — this might be unpopular, but I…
AC Milan is delighted to announce a pre-season friendly against Chelsea Football Club on Sunday, 10 August at 3:00 PM (BST) at Stamford Bridge, in the heart of London. AC Milan’s match against Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge on 10 August follows their friendly with Leeds United at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on 9 August. This consecutive weekend of top-level opposition will give coach Allegri’s squad an excellent test before the start of the 2025/26 season. Earlier in the summer, the Rossoneri will embark on a comprehensive Asia-Pacific tour as part of their Pre-Season Tour 2025, facing Arsenal FC in Singapore…
Undoubtedly, the Gunners’ search for a striker has become something of a saga in the last few weeks, and it doesn’t look like there will be an end in sight anytime soon despite Mikel Arteta’s advances. Viktor Gyokeres has emerged as Arsenal’s most talked-about summer pursuit. However, Sporting won’t let the Sweden international leave on the cheap, which has compelled the Londoners to assess potential alternatives such as Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins. Of course, RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko has also been courted by Arsenal over the duration, and Ben Jacobs has confirmed that they are still in the picture to…
There is a need for Milan to evaluate things at the back ahead of next season, and due to the situation with Mike Maignan, those discussions have probably been accelerated. However, this idea is not really new. With a new deal not showing much promise in recent months, it is probable that the Rossoneri have been browsing the market for a while now, if not longer. According to TBR Football, the Diavolo have placed Tottenham Hotspur shot-stopper Guglielmo Vicario highly on their list, with a deal there ‘to be done’, even though the North London club were not planning on…
Mike Maignan’s future is still entirely to be deciphered. The Rossoneri goalkeeper was very close to leaving the club during the special transfer window held in the first ten days of June. The Milan captain, whose contract expires in 2026 and who has had no renewal offer on the table since January—when an agreement was practically in place—had accepted Chelsea’s advances, but the English club was ultimately unable to find common ground in negotiations with the Rossoneri. Mike Maignan, therefore, remains at Milan for now, as La Gazzetta dello Sport also reminded this morning with the headline: Right after, however,…
As Mikel Arteta continues to explore attacking options following the news that Viktor Gyokeres prefers Arsenal to Manchester United, left-wing remains a priority and one of the stars of the Nations League has now entered the picture, valued at £64m. Arsenal were the least left-wing team in the Premier League last season, launching 10% less attacks down the left than the right flank as neither Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard could provide a consistent threat opposite Bukayo Saka, meaning diversifying that threat is imperative ahead of a 2025/26 campaign that Gunners fans hope will finally be their season. And Arteta…
The midfield is a big area of focus for Milan this summer. Tijjani Reijnders has already left, and it seems he will not be the only departing Rossonero. As in the past weeks, Napoli have re-entered discussions for Yunus Musah. Now, that deal could be much more important for the Diavolo. At present, the move for Musah is looking difficult, largely due to the problems in agreeing a deal with Napoli. However, there could be a reason to now accept the deal as it is, rather than letting it slip away. According to Sportmediaset (via Milan News), the plans to…
In a bombshell revelation by Mundo Deportivo, AC Milan have offered Rafael Leao to Barcelona in a sensational swap deal involving Ronald Araujo. The proposal comes at a time when both clubs are reshaping their squads, and Barcelona’s transfer strategy could take an unexpected turn if this offer gains traction. The Catalans are currently in the market for a new left-winger, with Luis Díaz and Nico Williams topping their shortlist. However, with high transfer fees standing in the way of both pursuits, Leao could re-emerge as a viable and intriguing alternative. The Portuguese international has long been admired by the…
Athletic Bilbao winger and Arsenal target Nico Williams has informed suitors of his desire to join Barcelona following positive talks. Williams, 22, has been subject to interest from Arsenal, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. He impressed at last summer’s Euros, teaming up with Barcelona star Yamine Lamal as Spain took home the crown. That campaign marked Williams as one of the most promising wingers in the world as he opened the scoring in Spain’s 2-1 final win over England. Despite interest from the Emirates, Williams seems likely to stay in Spain having told those involved in talks of his preference for…
The Los Angeles Lakers face a defining moment. As LeBron James turns 40, the organization plans to pivot toward the future, building around rising star Luka Dončić. Although James still performs at a high level, he can no longer single-handedly lead a team deep into the playoffs. The 2024–25 campaign ended in frustration for the Lakers. Despite securing a top-three seed, they fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round. Los Angeles faltered in critical situations, including a disappointing 16-point fourth quarter in the elimination game. It was their third first-round playoff exit in five years, an outcome that…
