AC Milan are now very close to signing Youssouf Fofana from AS Monaco after an improved offer was submitted, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Fofana saga has certainly dragged on longer than the Milan management probably hoped for, but they have always remained confident that Monaco’s resistance would be lowered and that they would eventually land their No.1 midfield target on more favourable terms. According to Fabrizio Romano, Milan are closing in on the Fofana deal and the Frenchman is now just ‘one step away’ from becoming the fourth signing of the summer, after Alvaro Morata, Strahinja Pavlovic and Emerson Royal.…
Victor Osimhen is reportedly holding up a potential move to Chelsea as he would prefer to join Paris Saint-Germain. Chelsea have been in contact with Napoli throughout the summer to try to negotiate a deal for Nigerian striker Osimhen, with the Italian club keen on signing Romelu Lukaku in exchange. But according to Football Italia, the 25-year-old is waiting for PSG and is not keen on the idea of joining the west Londoners. Osimhen is said to be apprehensive about heading to the Premier League as Chelsea will not play in the Champions League this season. The Napoli forward netted…
2017. That’s when Cecile Landi started working with Simone Biles. She was right beside the gymnast during her 2021 Tokyo debacle and also as Biles won four Olympic medals in Paris. But all good things must come to an end… Coach Cecile Landi is now gearing up to join the University of Georgia as the co-head coach. This comes in after the former coach Courtney Kupets Carter was fired by the institute, followed by the assistant coach Ryan Roberts stepping up instead. But now, it’s Landi and Roberts who are about to take the college forward. How did Biles react…
Philadelphia Eagles: Jalen Hurts. Biggest Weakness: Coming Off His First Read. Hurts and the Eagles didn’t look like the Super Bowl contenders we saw in 2022, as age, coordinator turnover and inconsistent play hampered the team all year. Hurts wasn’t bad by any means in 2023 — and, in fact, was still a good quarterback — but he struggled when forced off his initial read. He earned a 66.7 PFF grade and generated a 36.4% success rate in said situations. Over the past two years, his 90.1 PFF grade when throwing to his first read ranks fifth in the NFL.…
Ahead of the 2024/25 Serie A season, Xavier Jacobelli has made a prediction about who could challenge for the Scudetto and Champions League, whilst admitting that AC Milan could face a difficult battle. If there was one word to describe the 2023/24 season for Milan, it would be difficult to find someone that replied with a positive word. The Rossoneri were humiliated in both Derby della Madonnina’s and failed to perform in both European competitions. As a result, there is a great weight of expectation heading into this season after two fantastic seasons before the last. However, the weight of expectation…
In addition to working out former University of Arizona outside linebacker Taylor Upshaw on Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers also worked out edge rushers Aaron Patrick and Nathan Latu, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Veteran Steelers outside linebacker Markus Golden suddenly retired on Friday, so the team is in need of a pass rusher. Jeremiah Moon, Kyron Johnson, Julius Welschof and DeMarvin Leal are in competition for the No. 4 OLB spot. Upshaw started all 13 games on the defensive line for the Wildcats in 2023, recording a team-high 8.5 sacks, a mark that tied for fourth in the Pac-12.…
Ex-Chelsea defender William Gallas thinks his former club would be signing a “world-class” player if they manage to bring in Victor Osimhen before the end of the month. The Blues are holding talks with Napoli about the Nigerian international and, speaking to Genting Casino, Gallas said that Enzo Maresca’s side “should do everything” in their power to secure the forward’s services: “The links to Napoli’s Victor Osimhen aren’t going away. For me, he is exactly the level of player Chelsea should be looking to bring in.” “If they can sign Osimhen, then I would feel a lot more confident about the club’s chances…
AC Milan are reportedly unwilling to meet AS Monaco’s £21 million asking price for midfielder Youssouf Fofana. Manchester United have been working hard to improve their squad this summer and after working on the attack and defence, they have shifted attention to the midfield with 15 more days left before the transfer window closes. Manuel Ugarte and Sander Berge have been heavily linked to a move to United but one name that has not disappeared is that of Youssouf Fofana. It had been reported that AC Milan, who have been chasing the player all summer, feared history repeating itself like…

Dubai is quickly becoming a powerhouse in the world of football, with the nation now boasting over ten international academy setups for some of the leading teams in Europe. The idea behind the move is to scout out new talent in the region to ensure that clubs in Europe don’t miss out on some of the brightest talents in the Middle East. In June, AC Milan became the latest team to open an academy in the region, joining Manchester City and Real Madrid in the process. It is no coincidence that in the Middle East, European clubs have a…
