In the ever-evolving landscape of the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers have consistently demonstrated a willingness to make bold moves in pursuit of championship glory. Their history of transformative trades, such as acquiring Anthony Davis and their fleeting connection with Luka Dončić, underscores their commitment to assembling a powerhouse team. Now, the Lakers are rumored to have their sights set on another intriguing talent: Lauri Markkanen. The potential trade involving Markkanen represents a strategic maneuver for the Lakers, aiming to bolster their roster with a versatile seven-footer. This proposed deal, which could see players like Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, Gabe…
Dating back to February’s NBA trade deadline, reports indicated that the Los Angeles Lakers had some high interest in Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler and tried their best to pry the young center away before their efforts were ultimately rebuffed. However, as we now enter the start of this summer’s NBA offseason, and one where both Los Angeles and Utah could have their fair share of roster changes, it begs the question: Could the Lakers pursue a trade for Kessler once again Lakers insider Jovan Buha of The Athletic recently broke down as to why a Kessler trade to the…
The Los Angeles Lakers made a blockbuster trade in February, acquiring five-time All-Star Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks. With Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves leading the way, the Lakers finished the season as the third seed in the Western Conference. Many NBA fans and pundits projected Los Angeles to compete for this year’s championship. However, the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Lakers in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs in five games. Minnesota won Games 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the series. Lakers head coach JJ Redick played Doncic, Reaves, James, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith…
32-year-old former Arsenal player, Granit Xhaka, is linked with AC Milan. He is seen as the ideal midfielder for Massimiliano Allegri because he is a leader on the pitch and also during the training sessions. This team does need leadership and quality. The captain of the Swiss national team is a serious target that unites all factions within the club. Swiss, but with Albanian roots (his parents emigrated from Kosovo before their children were born), left-footed, he joined Leverkusen in 2023 after spending seven seasons at Arsenal Igli Tare has wanted to work with Xhaka for years and tried to…
It is not new news that Theo will probably leave Milan this summer. However, it has still, somehow, been a rollercoaster. A move to Saudi Arabia seemed possible, then unlikely, then possible and back to impossible. Theo’s reason? He wants to stay in Europe, despite the clubs agreeing on everything. This is not a huge concern, though, as there are still suitors, but the finances may be lowered. A move to Spain, and more importantly, back to Atletico Madrid, seems more plausible, with the player open to the move. However, it seems it is more than openness. Speaking on Fabrizio…
Arsenal consider their move for Martin Zubimendi done and dusted, with only a medical and official announcement left to complete. The club is aiming to close a long-running transfer saga by finally bringing the Real Sociedad midfielder to North London. The Gunners had originally agreed a deal to sign Zubimendi in January, with a summer move pencilled in. Multiple credible sources confirmed in May that he was on his way to Arsenal, though fans have grown increasingly anxious due to the lack of official word. Concerns only intensified with reports of interest from Real Madrid. These fears are understandable, particularly…
There has been a lot said about Musah this season, and unfortunately for the midfielder, not all of it has been positive. In fact, he has delivered several poor performances and struggled to get back on track since. So, an exit, one way or another, seemed likely this summer. However, the interested party is perhaps a bit of a shock. We go back to last summer to find the first instance of Napoli’s interest, and the reports suggested that Antonio Conte liked the profile of the American. However, Milan wanted to retain the midfielder, believing he could progress. Of course,…
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is once again ready to swoop for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, a year on from being priced out of a move for the Eagles’ captain. However, the Gunners are understood to also want to tie down William Saliba to a new contract, which could complicate a move for Guehi. The 24-year-old England international has just a year remaining on his contract with Palace, which should make him considerably more affordable now than the reported £70million asking price that put the Gunners off last summer. Despite the U-turn on their interest in Guehi, Arsenal are determined…
La Gazzetta dello Sport‘s report begins with: ‘Welcome to Mike Maignan’s Tuesday’. On June 10th, by 20:00 Italian time, we will understand what the fate of the Frenchman will be. The premise: these will be hectic hours, with discussions between London and Milan The starting point is not optimal: Milan and Chelsea, this morning, are not sure that the deal can be closed. Indeed, there is growing pessimism despite the fact that negotiations have been ongoing for several days now. Maignan wants to leave Milan, with whom he reached an agreement in principle for the renewal of his contract in…
