Many NBA players are reticent to share their political views – especially during an election year. We have seen professional athletes lose endorsements and contracts over political statements. However, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has never been scared to participate in the domestic issues. The NBA’s all-time leading scorer is a political lightning rod, whether he likes it or not. As James has done throughout his entire 21-season NBA career, he takes the controversy head-on. Nike recently released James’ sneakers, the LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD, in the “Equity” colorway. The basketball shoes feature a bold black and white design…
The primary focus this summer for AC Milan has been on bringing new players in, but the sale of Pierre Kalulu came, to some extent, out of nowhere. The French defender had a tough 2023/24 which was dominated by injuries but the general belief was that he would be a part of Paulo Fonseca’s squad. Fast-forward to later August and he is now on loan at Juventus with the move expected to become permanent next summer. As reported by Milan News, there are a number of minor reasons that cumulatively have led to Kalulu and Milan parting ways this summer. One issue is…
Italy and Milan talent Francesco Camarda won’t be available for the Rossoneri against Parma despite Alvaro Morata’s injury and Paulo Fonseca explained why. With Morata forced to the sidelines for at least two weeks, Italian media expected 16-year-old Camarda to go on the bench against Parma on Saturday, but this won’t be the case. “Camarda won’t be with us, and I must say that we are very focused on young players,” Fonseca said at a press conference. “These guys have already played well with us, but we must understand they are in a different moment. Our young players are of high quality,…
AC Milan target Manu Kone wants to leave Borussia Monchengladbach but no concrete offers have been made for the French midfielder yet. As reported by Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg on X, Kone is keen to leave the Bundesliga side in the final week of the transfer window but as things stand, Milan have not made a concrete offer for his services. What is reported is that there have been inquiries from Italy to find out what it would take to sign Kone. One of those inquiries is almost certainly from Milan, but it is not clear who else in Serie A…
Milan coach Paulo Fonseca insists that Rafael Leao is ‘fundamental,’ so he’s happy to hear that Giorgio Furlani ruled out the Portuguese star’s transfer to Barcelona. Milan will meet Parma in Serie A Round 2 tomorrow, and Fonseca previewed the game at a press conference in Milanello. However, the transfer window is still open, so a Spanish reporter asked Fonseca about Leao’s future and whether the star winger would join Barcelona this summer. Milan CEO Furlani had already denied a possible transfer, and Fonseca appreciated the director’s comments. “The director was very clear yesterday. A sale is impossible, and I really…
Chelsea have been boosted in their pursuit of striking a late deal for Victor Osimhen as the Napoli star is open to completing a loan move to Stamford Bridge if the agreement includes an obligation for the switch to become permanent at the end of the season, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed. The Blues have not been afraid to splash the cash during the early stages of Enzo Maresca’s reign as head coach, with Joao Felix becoming the latest acquisition when he completed a £46.3million transfer from Atletico Madrid earlier this week, but the Italian tactician has remained in the market for further fresh…
Chelsea are hoping that AC Milan will sign Carney Chukwuemeka from them in the final week of the transfer window as the Premier League side looks to reduce their swollen squad. According to a report from TalkChelsea, the Premier League side are keen to sell Chukwuemeka given there are so many other midfield options at the club and they are still potentially trying to sign a striker. Chelsea have so many players now that almost half of the seniors are training separately to the players that Enzo Maresca is actively working with, but Chukwuemeka is one of the people training with…
Paulo Fonseca has confirmed that Noah Okafor will start for AC Milan against Parma on Saturday evening with Alvaro Morata out injured. Speaking during his press conference (transcribed by Milan News) ahead of the second Serie A game of the season which sees Milan head to Parma, Fonseca gave some clues as to who would start with a number of positions up for grabs. Milan’s season got underway with a 2-2 draw at home to Torino last Saturday and they needed two very late goals to avoid a defeat. One of those goals came from Alvaro Morata but he picked…
Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi has suggested that the Rossoneri cannot afford to be complacent against Parma on Saturday given the quality of the newly-promoted team. Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News), Sacchi spoke very highly of Parma who managed to get a draw against Fiorentina in their opening game of the season. Parma impressed in Serie B last season but they have had a fairly chaotic summer and the expectation is that they will do well to avoid an immediate return to the second flight. There is always pressure to perform at Milan and having only…
AC Milan are going to be without three players thanks to injury when they take on Parma in the second Serie A match of the season. Injuries became a constant concern for Milan last season with the defence being impacted very heavily, and Paulo Fonseca will hope that he is not faced with the same problems that Stefano Pioli had to deal with. As highlighted Milan News, Fonseca’s injury list is currently limited to three players and two of them would not have been in the frame to start the match against the newly-promoted side. Alessandro Florenzi and Marco Sportiello are…
