The Warriors parting ways with Andrew Wiggins to land Jimmy Butler in a blockbuster trade earlier this week was an emotional goodbye, and it was no different on the other side of things. As tensions rose between Butler and the Miami Heat organization, team president Pat Riley gave it one final shot to keep Butler in South Beach during an emotional face-to-face meeting that resulted in Riley shedding tears. Butler and Riley met on Jan. 7 to see if there was any way to resolve the ongoing feud. Tears fell down Riley’s face as he tried to connect with Butler…
Reports back in December suggested that the Orioles had trade interest in Dylan Cease, and MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko wrote today that the O’s and Padres indeed had some level of discussion about the right-hander’s availability. However, it isn’t clear if talks have gone anywhere, as Kubatko reports that San Diego “checked on” some notable Baltimore players who “weren’t on the table,” including All-Star infielder Jordan Westburg and top prospects Coby Mayo and Samuel Basallo. The nature of the trade discussion aren’t known, but presumably one of these three would’ve been the headliner of a trade package, with Cease (and perhaps…
Como reportedly made an offer for Theo Hernandez in January, and the Azzurri President Mirwan Suwarso has confirmed a bid for a top Serie A player while praising Thierry Henry as a ‘genius’ who is ‘useful in building the brand.’ Suwarso was named Como President in October 2024. He attended the Azzurri’s Serie A game against Juventus last night and released an interview with Calcio&Finanza. Como are owned by the Hartono brothers, Robert Budi Hartono and Michael Bambang Hartono, Indonesia’s wealthiest family. They acquired the club in 2019 through their company, SENT Entertainment. Thierry Henry is among the shareholders, while…
Mexican forward Santiago Giménez has officially begun his journey with AC Milan, marking a new chapter in his career after an impressive stint with Feyenoord in the Eredivisie. The 22-year-old striker quickly made an impact, providing an assist in his Coppa Italia debut against Roma, showing glimpses of the creativity and attacking intelligence that made him a sought-after talent. But with Milan’s high standards and deep attacking lineup, what exactly would be considered a successful season for Giménez. Giménez wasted no time in showcasing his ability, setting up João Félix for a crucial goal in Milan’s Coppa Italia victory. His…
Not too long ago, Rafael Leao was a hot topic at Barcelona, who were reportedly keen on bringing in the Portuguese international from AC Milan. Leao was even identified as the ideal long-term replacement for the ageing Robert Lewandowski. However, a new report from Matteo Moretto suggests that much of the speculation linking the winger to the Blaugrana was largely fueled by super-agent Jorge Mendes rather than any genuine movement from the Catalan club. Mendes, who had a temporary mandate to facilitate a transfer for Leao following his contract renewal with Milan, was in regular contact with Barcelona president Joan…
Gazzetta dello Sport report that Sérgio Conceição has laid down the gauntlet to Rafael Leão, making it clear that the Portuguese winger must contribute defensively or risk losing his place in AC Milan’s starting lineup. This ultimatum comes in the wake of Milan’s recent signings, which have provided Conceição with more tactical flexibility and alternatives in attack. The arrivals of Santiago Giménez and João Félix have reshaped Milan’s offensive capabilities, allowing Conceição to implement his preferred 4-4-2 formation—a system he frequently employed during his successful tenure at Porto. This tactical shift, however, demands more from the wide players, particularly in…
Joao Felix is set to return to Chelsea at the end of this season while AC Milan put a long-term plan together, sources have told Football Insider. Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that Felix’s loan deal doesn’t feature an obligation to become permanent. Felix moved to the Italian giants in the January transfer window in a bid to gain more regular first-team football to enhance his personal career. Well-placed sources have told Football Insider that the Serie A giants would be “very much interested” in signing Felix as long…
The Pittsburgh Steelers are bringing back Gerald Alexander, who served as the team’s assistant defensive backs for the 2022 and 2023 seasons, which was first reported by Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network and sources confirmed to PennLive. Alexander will lead the room that was led for the last four seasons by secondary coach Grady Brown. It is unclear if Brown or assistant defensive backs coach Anthony Midget is returning to the staff. Brown interviewed for the defensive coordinator position with the Atlanta Falcons earlier this offseason but did not land the job. Alexander is a fast-rising coach who was the…
Despite the signing of Santiago Gimenez, AC Milan have not ruled out a permanent addition for Tammy Abraham it seems. With a brace against his parent club, Abraham has proved that he is not willing to let his role go. For Gimenez and the Englishman, Milan are the club of dreams, and they will fight for a position moving forward. As Tuttosport (via Pianeta Milan) writes, the Roma striker has eight goals in a Rossoneri shirt this season, and he is not finished just yet. Currently, he is enjoying perhaps his ‘best moment’ in the colours, and he is determined…
