Alex Jimenez has been a topic of interest for a few months now, considering Real Madrid have a buy-back clause. However, AC Milan can be confident. It has been a difficult campaign for Jimenez, whose influence and position at the club has largely fluctuated. During the summer mercato, he was set to be Theo Hernandez’s deputy, however, this was not the case. However, in the past five months, his playing time has increased significantly, and he has become a formidable part of the Milan team, playing at wing-back, where he looks much more natural. Of course, there are still a…
Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres has expressed his transfer preference following a transfer update courtesy of his uncle. And the Swede may end up opting for Lisbon over England – or anywhere else, for that matter. The Sporting CP striker has become one of the most coveted forwards in Europe, having scored an impressive 96 goals in 101 appearances since his move to Portugal two years ago. Earlier this season, it was believed Manchester United were leading the race for the prolific 26-year-old’s signature due to his close relationship with former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim However, north London seems to have…

At 40 years old, LeBron James has accomplished just about everything that can be achieved in the world of basketball. While the 2024–25 season didn’t end the way James or the Los Angeles Lakers hoped, it was still an impressive campaign for the legendary forward. The 6-foot-9 former No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft added another accolade to his storied career this season. He played in 70 regular-season games and five postseason contests, averaging 24.4 points per game in the regular season. On Friday night, the Lakers’ official social media account celebrated James’ latest honor with a…
Given their shortcomings against the Timberwolves, with Rudy Gobert enjoying himself in the last game, the Lakers have realized that they need a talented center. Jaxson Hayes doesn’t have his coach’s confidence, while Alex Len and Christian Koloko haven’t achieved much in the regular season. So for the Lakers, there’s no need to dither too long: recruiting a 5 is necessary, and if possible with a trade. It’s the best way to get a player with talent, not someone who’ll come in to wax the bench. The Angelinos have the assets with Austin Reaves and even Dalton Knecht, already traded…
Jurgen Klopp, the global head of football at Red Bull, has firmly denied any speculation about him taking over as the head coach of Roma. “I’m not going to Roma. If you come across any rumors suggesting that I will take a coaching job in the next few years, it’s nonsense. You can say that first,” Klopp said, as quoted by journalist James Pearce on X. It’s worth recalling that Roma’s current head coach Claudio Ranieri is set to leave the club at the end of this season. After his departure from Liverpool, Klopp assumed a new role as global…

Bologna vs. Genoa (Saturday, 5.00pm Coppa Italia winners Bologna head into the final Serie A gameweek against Genoa at Stadio Renato Dell’Ara on Saturday, aiming to avoid losing three consecutive top-flight matches. The Emilians suffered back-to-back losses for the first time since 2023 after Sunday’s defeat to Fiorentina, but they hope to snap that run against a visiting side without a victory since the start of April. We say: Bologna 1-1 Genoa Despite the historical precedent of this fixture since 2018, Saturday’s match is tricky to call as Bologna have little to play for after securing a Europa League place…
The situation regarding Tijjani Reijnders’ future is about to heat up. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano on his social media channels, Manchester City have made contact with AC Milan for the Dutch midfielder. Their intention is to move ahead of competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid, which is why the Citizens are expected to submit an initial official offer for Reijnders in the coming days. Milan, however, won’t even sit at the table for anything under €70 million — meaning Pep Guardiola’s club will have to make a serious push to convince the Rossoneri to part ways with a player…
Once again, AC Milan will head into this summer hoping to land Samuele Ricci, and it could be possible this time. Milan, for the past few windows, have been regularly linked with signing Ricci to bolster their midfield, and it seems like it could finally happen this summer. The Italian is a star at Torino and, respectfully, is ready for the next step in his career. A midfield of Reijnders, Fofana and Ricci would be immense for any manager to work with, permitting the former stays with the Rossoneri. However, his departure could also aid a move for the latter,…
