Italian giants AC Milan have made a bold move by slapping an astronomical price tag of €130 million on their talented winger, Rafael Leao, in the midst of escalating interest from some of Europe’s top clubs. The 25-year-old prodigy has emerged as a hot target for elite clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich, igniting a fierce transfer tug-of-war Despite the mounting pressure from potential suitors, AC Milan is standing firm in their resolve to retain their prized asset this summer. Reports from Corriere dello Sport indicate that any club eyeing Leao will need to break the bank with a…
Walker’s personal life has hit rock bottom, with the Daily Mail reporting that his marriage to Kilner is on the brink of collapse. While the Manchester City defender had hoped that his temporary move to AC Milan might offer a reset for both his football career and his relationship, the results have been underwhelming. Far from mending their strained ties, time abroad appears to have only widened the emotional distance between Walker and his wife. Moving away from the UK media spotlight and the fallout of his past scandal with Lauryn Goodman was a key motivation behind the move. However,…
The city of Los Angeles has as much star power between their two teams as ever, with LeBron James and Luka Doncic leading the Lakers while James Harden and Kawhi Leonard headline the Clippers. However, these stars will not be in Hollywood forever. James Harden, 35, and LeBron James, 40, both have player options for the 2025-26 season, putting their futures with their respective teams in doubt. However, both the Clippers and Lakers are on the brink of competing for a championship, so these stars are unlikely to jump ship just yet. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst recently reported that he thinks…
Brooklyn Nets big man Nic Claxton could see his tenure end just one season after it was extended. Claxton, 26, signed a four-year, $97 million contract extension last summer, but could be included in a trade package to give Luka Doncic a new lob threat. Saturday morning, Forbes’ Evan Sidery took to X to reveal who the Los Angeles Lakers are likely to target to anchor their frontcourt. “The Lakers are targeting an athletic rim-running big man. After the voided trade for Mark Williams, two names to keep a close eye on this summer are Nic Claxton and Daniel Gafford,”…
Los Angeles Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht had a charmed first half of his inaugural 2024-25 season. And then he got traded, effectively taking the bloom fully off the rose. L.A. general manager and president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka shipped Knecht off to the Charlotte Hornets, along with the Lakers’ 2031 first round draft pick, in order to acquire rim-rolling center Mark Williams so that newly-added five-time All-NBA First Team guard Luka Doncic could have a credible lob partner. Williams failed his Lakers team physical, prompting Pelinka to rescind the deal and re-obtain Knecht and the pick. But it quickly…
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Arsenal have taken a multifarious approach by moving for the two players simultaneously so that they do not end up empty-handed if a move for either player falls through. Arsenal have struggled in the attack this past season, and the lack of a quality striker has cost them. They need a reliable finisher in their ranks, and the likes of Sesko and Gyokeres would be tremendous acquisitions. Both players have done exceedingly well for their respective clubs. This past season and they have the tools to develop into a world-class player. They would certainly help…
It looks, at this moment in time, as if Arsenal have chosen Benjamin Sesko to be their number one striker signing this summer. The Slovenian striker was linked with a move to Arsenal last summer, but a deal could not be done, with the now 22-year-old choosing to sign a new deal with RB Leipzig and get another year under his belt in the Bundesliga. After scoring 21 goals in 45 games for Leipzig this season, the time may now be right for him to move to the Premier League, with reports claiming that Arsenal had opened talks with the…
When the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA championship during the 2019-20 season, they didn’t have an overwhelmingly talented roster outside of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. But they did have a number of valuable role players who all chipped in to bring home the Larry O’Brien Trophy. One of those role players was Danny Green. The veteran wing signed as a free agent with the Lakers in the summer of 2019, and his defense and 3-point shooting were sizable keys to their championship run. But during an appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast, Green said that playing alongside…
The arrival of Luka Doncic in Los Angeles brought fresh excitement to the Lakers, but not everyone is convinced the pairing with LeBron James will be enough to secure another championship. Former Laker Danny Green, who won a ring with the team in 2020, shared his concerns about the team’s current formula for success Speaking on the All The Smoke podcast, Green was respectful in his tone but clear in his evaluation of the Lakers’ future with a 41-year-old James sharing the spotlight with Doncic. “I think they’re explosive offensively, (but) I think they lack a lot defensively,” Green said.…
In the twilight of an illustrious career that has spanned over two decades, LeBron James stands at a significant juncture. The choice before him isn’t just about the next season but could very well shape the legacy he leaves behind in the annals of basketball history. With a $52.6 million player option on the table, James’ decision this summer is more than a contractual formality; it’s a statement of intent, a reflection of his ambition, and perhaps a glimpse into his priorities as his record 22nd NBA season concludes. LeBron James is no stranger to pivotal moments. His career has…
