Ismael Bennacer has been made aware he is not a part of Massimiliano Allegri’s plans at AC Milan, and Al-Hilal could again provide a solution. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report that Bennacer is expected at Milanello on Monday 21 July, when the team will already be training in Singapore, but Milan are actually hoping Bennacer finds a new team first. Simone Inzaghi’s Al-Hilal have made inquiries about him, partly because Theo Hernandez heavily endorsed his former team-mate. Giorgio Furlani and Igli Tare would be more than happy to part with the Algerian’s €4m net salary. It would be…
The Buss family is known for owning the Los Angeles Lakers, but most people are unaware that the family amassed its wealth through real estate investments. According to People magazine, family patriarch Jerry Buss began building his empire by making a $1,000 investment in a 14-unit apartment building in West LA. A little over 60 years later, his daughter sold a majority stake in the family’s crown jewel for $10 billion. People magazine’s 1980 profile says Buss was raised in Wyoming by a single mother, who paid her rent with tips from her job waiting tables. She also taught him…
It’s been five months since the Dallas Mavericks made the shocking decision to trade franchise centerpiece Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, and it’s still a major talking point around the league. The two franchises will be tied together forever because of that single move, which was executed by Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison, who has repeatedly said “defense wins championships” as an explanation for the deal. Since that trade, the Mavericks lost Kyrie Irving to a torn ACL in March — which will keep him out of a large portion of next season. The Mavs — aimed at…

There was ball movement, off-ball cuts, and screens, along with an open floor for both to operate. Even though the Lakers lost in the first round of the playoffs, the connection between James and Doncic developed well. As far as their relationship off the court goes, Doncic’s agent Lara…

Some Arsenal supporters have expressed dissatisfaction with the club’s reported pursuit of Noni Madueke, citing frustration over the team’s ongoing transfer activity involving players from Chelsea. Last summer, Arsenal secured Raheem Sterling on loan, but the English forward failed to make a significant impact during his twelve-month stint with the club. That experience has left a segment of the fanbase wary of acquiring yet another player from their London rivals. Madueke is reportedly being made available for transfer, with the Blues confident in their ability to find a suitable replacement. Arsenal are said to have seen enough potential in the…
