The Los Angeles Lakers want Luka Doncic to be in better shape for his first full season with the team, and the five-time All-Star is taking that challenge seriously. Recent photos from his time in Spain show Luka looking trim and working out at Real Madrid’s facility. Doncic played there before coming to the NBA. He is clearly taking his offseason work seriously and should be ready to dominate on opening night. Luka’s conditioning is part of the reason he ended up in Los Angeles. This has been a narrative for years, even when Doncic was leading the Mavericks to…
Last year, it was reported that RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko had a preference for a move to Arsenal – but the Gunners might now have to shell out a staggering amount to secure his signature. Mikel Arteta’s squad had a turbulent 2024/25 season, once again concluding without any silverware or a major final. They had to settle for runner-up in the Premier League for the third consecutive year, and their Champions League campaign ended in disappointment at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals. One standout statistic from an injury-riddled season was that, for the first time since 1924,…
With Luka Doncic only one calendar year away from needing to decide on a $46 million player option and LeBron James likely to retire at any point in the next couple of seasons, the time is now for Rob Pelinka to go out and make moves around his dynamic duo to go after one more title with James while also convincing Doncic that it’s worth sticking around after the NBA’s all-time leading scorer rides off into the sunset. After the Lakers’ disappointing exit from the playoffs after losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first-round, J.J. Reddick’s squad was severely…
USMNT attacker Christian Pulisic is leaning towards a major decision on his future at AC Milan after two seasons in Serie A as a new era dawns at San Siro, TEAMtalk can reveal. AC Milan signed Pulisic from Chelsea in 2023 and he has gone on to make 100 appearances for the club – exactly 50 in each season. With 32 goals to his name, the 26-year-old is approaching a big decision about where he will spend what could be the prime years of his career, with just two years on his contract remaining. After taking a few days to…
The mercato is heating up for Milan, following the appointments of Igli Tare and Max Allegri, and there could be some big movements very soon. Reijnders, for example, has ended up at the top of Man City’s wish list and they want to close a deal before the Club World Cup. In the meantime, the Rossoneri are also evaluating what to do with Theo Hernandez, whose contract will expire next summer. He has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia and by the sounds of it, the club could opt to cash in. Speaking to MilanNews, Sky Italia’s Milan expert Manuele Baiocchini…
After eight successful years at the Etihad Stadium, a place where the 35-year-old has won everything, it has already been decided that Walker will not be a Man City player next season and that the Englishman will have to find a new club this summer. Walker decided to join AC Milan on loan in January, and the Italian club had a buy option clause in the right-back’s contract should they want to make the defender’s move a permanent one this summer. Having featured for the Serie A giants 16 times over recent months, AC Milan have now decided on whether…
Reaction to Massimiliano Allegri’s reported return as Milan manager was largely met with one reaction: “Oh boy.” Anyone who has followed Allegri-ball knows what it looks like – it doesn’t tend to be particularly exciting. The fact is, though, that, in the club’s current iteration, Milan can’t afford to be flashy. What they need is what Allegri does bring to any team he coaches: results. It’s a results-oriented business, so while the manner in which Allegri achieves those results isn’t always the prettiest, he does tend to get them. Milan finished in eighth in Serie A this season, missing out…
It was a campaign that saw us once again fighting at the business end of the Premier League table, and make a huge impression in the Champions League as we reached the semi-finals for the first time since 2009 courtesy of a fine two-legged display to beat Real Madrid in the last eight. So many players produced standout moments at home and in Europe throughout the season, meaning the race for our prestigious honour is wide open. Some of the greatest players in our history have received the silverware which has been presented every season since 1967, including Bob Wilson,…
Premier League clubs are putting plans in place for the summer transfer window which initially opens for a short window between June 1 and June 10 in the hopes of getting deals done ahead of the Club World Cup. Liverpool are ready to go from strength to strength after winning the Premier League title. The Reds have made a bid of up to €130m for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and will sign Jeremie Frimpong on Sunday after they triggered his £29.5m release clause. It comes as Trent Alexander-Arnold will join Real Madrid before the Club World Cup, with a £10m…
The Lakers did post a 50-32 record and record the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference this season, but they fell short of a deep playoff run, losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five quick contests Wing Danny Green, who won the 2020 championship with L.A., recently guested on Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes’ “All The Smoke” podcast to talk all things basketball. Green reflected on what old teammate LeBron James and James’ latest superstar comrade Luka Doncic should expect in the coming years together. “I think they’re explosive offensively, (but) I think they lack a lot defensively,” Green…
