Joao Felix joined Santiago Gimenez as an attacking reinforcement in the winter transfer window, and Sergio Conceicao pushed hard for his arrival. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan gave themselves another great coup for the attacking department by landing Felix. His agent, Jorge Mendes, has been working non-stop since Sunday evening in London to make him available to Conceiçao. Chelsea, who hoped to sell him to England and asked Aston Villa for £50m to sell (the negotiation never took off), agreed to send him on loan and therefore the doors were opened for his landing in Milan.…
Luka Doncic’s move to the Los Angeles Lakers could be the biggest win for European basketball because it increases his exposure in a global market, allows him to learn from LeBron James, and provides him the opportunity to build a huge legacy. The Los Angeles Lakers just shook the basketball world by pulling off a blockbuster trade — landing 25-year-old superstar Luka Doncic in exchange for 31-year-old Anthony Davis, a 10-time All-Star. On the surface, this deal is already massive. But when you look deeper, it carries even more weight, especially for European basketball. Doncic, one of the most gifted…
The Philadelphia 76ers collapsed in horrible fashion after mounting an impressive beatdown over the Celtics, but fortunately, barely anyoen noticed. After all, not too long after the entire basketball community was shaken by the wildly shocking trade involving Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis, another star-laden, blockbuster trade was finalized. After weeks of speculations, the De’Aaron Fox era in Sacramento is now over as the All-Star guard now finds himself landing in San Antonio via a three-team trade that also includes Zach LaVine, another All-Star guard, getting shipped to the Kings from the Bulls, which were finally able to ditch LaVine…
At least one NBA general manager has a very high opinion of Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving. ESPN’s Tim MacMahon said on the newest episode of Brian Windhorst’s Hoop Collective podcast the GM asserted Irving is better than now-former teammate Luka Dončić. “I was talking to another general manager today and they made the statement—and it was like confidently—that Kyrie is a better player than Luka,” MacMahon said starting at the 44:48 mark. “And I was taken aback by that. I think Kyrie’s an incredible talent, but Luka just led the league in scoring, basically averaging triple-doubles.” That’s a bold…
AC Milan were the most active team in all of Europe on Deadline Day, completing a barely believable SEVEN transfers on the final day of the January window. The Rossoneri signed four players in the final hours of Monday, while they offloaded three. The biggest signing on Deadline Day and arguably the biggest incoming transfer of all of Serie A in January saw Santiago Gimenez officially complete his move from Feyenoord. Milan paid €32 million to sign the prolific Mexican striker from the Eredivisie. The Italian giants also signed a further two attackers in addition to Gimenez. Joao Felix was…
Daniele Doveri will officiate Thursday’s high-stakes Serie A showdown between Fiorentina and Inter Milan. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Gianluca Rocchi confirmed Doveri, who was the official in the original fixture. Indeed, the experienced referee blew the first whistle in December, only for Edoardo Bove’s collapse to cause the postponement. However, Doveri was also in the VAR booth in Sunday’s Derby della Madonnina. He failed to notice a penalty for Inter in the Milan derby. Moreover, main referee Daniele Chiffi didn’t spot the incident either, leaving Simone Inzaghi fuming in the aftermath. Why Daniel Doveri in Charge of Fiorentina vs…
Sergio Conceicao has responded to the claims of his opposite number Simone Inzaghi, who insisted Inter should have had a penalty against AC Milan. Inzaghi made it clear after the game that his belief was that the Nerazzurri were denied an obvious penalty in the second half last night, when Marcus Thuram went down under a challenge from Strahinja Pavlovic and Theo Hernandez. The score was 1-0 to the Rossoneri at the time so there was perhaps a bit of panic that Inter were going to lose a third derby in a row. Then, in the 93rd minute, the ‘away’…
The Pittsburgh Steelers know their quarterback. The team is hoping to retain at least one of their 2024 starters, and is realistic enough to understand they probably can’t keep both. So, they’re faced with the decision to pick one. A decision they have already made – under one condition. In 2024, Justin Fields started six games, going 4-2 and scoring 10 touchdowns. The former first-round pick is about to turn just 26-years-old and showed plenty of growth in his first season with a new team. The plan this offseason is to build a quarterback room that looks the same. Team…
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and preseason star Tyler Vaughns has found his next football home, landing with the UFL as a member of the Arlington Renegades for his third season, the league announced. Vaughns was a preseason and training camp standout with the Steelers in 2022 as he became a favorite target for then-rookie first-round pick Kenny Pickett. He caught eight passes for 112 yards and a touchdown during the Steelers preseason that year. Ultimately, Vaughns ended up missing the 53-man roster due to excess talent at the position and has been in the spring leagues since, trying to…
