Rui Borges has provided an update on Viktor Gyokeres’ future at Sporting CP. The 26-year-old striker continues to be heavily linked with a move to Arsenal as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options in the summer transfer window. Gyokeres, who sees his contract at the Jose Alvalade Stadium expire in June 2028, featured 33 times in the Portuguese top-flight this season, scoring 39 goals and providing eight assists. Playing a key role in Borges’ side, he has helped the Lions win back-to-back Primeira Liga titles. The Sweden international also fired Sporting to the Taca de Portugal final, netting…
Rafael Leao saw his season end with a whimper, remaining on the Milan bench in the final game, while Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Chelsea do not consider him a first choice target. The forward has struggled this term along with all his teammates, who won the Supercoppa Italiana and reached the Coppa Italia Final, but will finish Serie A in either seventh or eighth place. It means they miss out on any European competition for the first time in over a decade, but above all are set to completely reboot the squad where nobody is safe. That includes Rafael Leao,…
AC Milan did at least end their miserable 2024-25 season with a win, beating an already relegated Monza side 2-0 on Saturday night. For many Milan fans the season was over after the Coppa Italia final defeat against Bologna, and that was made clear by the mass protest that took place during last night’s game at San Siro, including a walk-out on 15 minutes. It took until midway through the second half for the remaining supporters to see a goal, but Matteo Gabbia broke the deadlock with a header from a corner before Joao Felix whipped in a free-kick to…
AC Milan cannot waste any time in their planning for the future, and that is why attention has already turned to the choice of head coach. As Corriere della Sera point out, there was a strong air of discontent within the walls of San Siro last night as some fans – in the Curva Sud above all – staged a walk-out after 15 minutes of the win over Monza. That came after thousands gathered at Casa Milan to protest against the leadership. With the win against Monza, the Rossoneri are now in seventh place, a position with which they would…
The Gunners ultimately failed to reach their pre-season goals this season with Mikel Arteta’s side to finish the season without any silverware once again. Arsenal are Premier League runners-up for a third season in a row as they couldn’t get near to Liverpool in the second half of the season. But the Gunners are already looking forward to going again next season with new sporting director Andrea Berta leading their summer transfer business. Arsenal have made signing a new striker one of their top priorities for the summer with the Gunners board recognising the need for a top-class striker There…
Sergio Conceicao took charge of his final game as AC Milan head coach, but he did so in silence and not in the dug out. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write, the three points are of no use except for statistical purposes, a matter that Conceiçao referred to in one of his latest public appearances when he spoke of a points-per-game average that was that of a Champions League team. Too bad, however, that mathematics had already condemned Milan to a season without European football, even before yesterday’s match. The coach was not even able to experience his…
AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani might have hinted that not going for Antonio Conte last summer was a mistake on the club’s part. Furlani answered questions from DAZN just before kick-off in last night’s win over Monza. Naturally he was asked about the future of Tijjani Reijnders and the arrival of Igli Tare, but was also prompted to comment on Conte winning the Scudetto with Napoli. “Congratulations to them and Conte for winning the title. We made many mistakes, so I wouldn’t focus on just one,” he said. Thus, it can be inferred that he considers not getting the former…

Since he received the definitive approval from CEO Giorgio Furlani over a three-year contract, the incoming sporting director has begun work on the future. It is no surprise, given h will be fundamental element in the rebirth of Milan. The official confirmation of his appointment will arrive in the next few hours, and between tomorrow and Tuesday he will be operational in Milan, in his new office. The former Lazio man has 15 years of experience, but…
If the latest rumor about the Los Angeles Lakers’ pursuit of an upgrade at center proves true, then it’s hard to avoid how focused Rob Pelinka is on youth, upside, and team-friendly finances. It’s also difficult to overlook how steady the theme appears to be with his in-season activity. If fans are wondering what the Lakers are going to be looking for this summer, it’s safe to assume their rumored Onyeka Okongwu interest revealed their hand. Los Angeles made an attempt to improve at center near the 2025 NBA trade deadline with a failed trade for Mark Williams. The initial…
Throughout much of the 2024-25 NBA season, there was a lot of discussion about the state of the game overall as fans and even some former players and media members were very critical over what the game has become. Despite all-time greats like Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, not to mention players such as Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgious-Alexander and Anthony Edwards, the NBA as a whole came under fire for many different things. Whether it was the lack of physicality, too many 3-pointers, All-Star Weekend or other things, it seemed as if…
