Monaco have lowered their asking price for Youssouf Fofana once again to give AC Milan hope of finally concluding a long transfer saga, a report claims. Di Marzio reported a couple of weeks ago that Manchester United and Atletico Madrid had entered the race for Fofana and that this had complicated things for Milan, because Monaco sensed the chance to get a better price and upped their demands to €35m. According to Manuele Baiocchini who spoke live on Sky (via MilanNews), Monaco have returned to asking for €25m for Fofana, but he confirms that they did raise it to €10m more than that…
The Pittsburgh Steelers are searching for wide receiver help, and while a trade with the San Francisco 49ers for Brandon Aiyuk is the bigger headline, there’s another name who’s on the radar of the team. According to league sources, former Steelers’ second-round pick and current free agent JuJu Smith-Schuster is “in play” for Pittsburgh. Following his release from the New England Patriots, the Steelers considering a reunion with the 27-year-old. Now, “in play” is not imminent.

Later today in the evening, there will be a meeting involving Kalulu’s agents and Juve, who will pay an initial fee of €3.5 million…
We were spoiled with basically 10+ months of nonstop Celtics news spanning from the Jrue Holiday acquisition in late September 2023 to Boston’s Team USA trio securing gold in Paris. Now we’ll likely see a 45-day downshift (though the sale of the team will continue to be a talking point until a new owner is determined) before the Celtics reconvene for a title defense. Before we start looking ahead, a few quick thoughts on how things played out for Boston’s Olympic trio: We expected Jayson Tatum to have a diminished role compared to 2021 given the veteran star power on the 2024 squad,…
Angel Reese is one of the most talented and important players in the WNBA and she is ready to compete, even if it is against her own teammates. There is no doubt she is one of the leaders of the Chicago Sky but some new faces will probably boost the team and elevate her level. The front office has made very interesting moves to help them for the rest of the season, as they acquired Rachel Banham, Moriah Jefferson, a 2025 first-round pick and the right to a 2026 first-round pick swap from the Connecticut Sun for Maria Mabrey and a…
AC Milan have now announced the signing of Emerson Royal from Tottenham Hotspur, but it is a deal that was a long time in the making with suggestions that it may never happen. As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio to Il Giornale (via Milan News), there are a number of reasons why it has taken until the day before Milan’s final pre-season friendly for Emerson to become their latest new signing. As Di Marzio explains, the broadest reason for the slow negotiation is that both clubs can drive a very hard bargain in the transfer window and do not like to…
It’s been yet another extraordinarily active summer transfer window for Chelsea. The Blues are well into double figures for new additions, and there’s still the best part of three weeks to go until deadline day. Pedro Neto is the latest arrival at Stamford Bridge, the Portugal forward completing a £54m move from Wolves on Sunday. But the two-time European champions’ spending seems unlikely to stop there. As new boss Enzo Maresca puts the finishing touches on his squad, Chelsea appear to be closing in on by far their most significant signing of the off-season. They’ve already splashed out more than £243m, and…
Ayesha Curry, the wife of Warriors star and Team USA Olympics hero Steph Curry, appeared to tear up following a tense encounter with French police at an undisclosed location in Paris while attempting to return to their car Saturday after the gold medal game, according to a video posted to YouTube by The Hollywood Fix. During the nearly three-minute encounter, Sonya Curry — Curry’s mother — and Golden State teammate Draymond Green were also speaking with police officers while Ayesha carried the couple’s youngest son, Caius, as another child who appeared to be Curry’s oldest son Canon, walked with a flag…
The 2024 Paris Olympics are officially over, but there are some major questions that still remain in its aftermath. One of those big topics is whether or not players like Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum will join the team in 2028 – especially with LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant at the ends of their careers by then. Former 3x NBA All-Star and Memphis Grizzlies guard Gilbert Arenas believes that Brown won’t be a member of the 2028 Olympic basketball team unless he switches his shoe brand to Nike. “He’s not gonna make the 2028 Olympic team unless he…
Cremonese are planning to use a familiar formula to sign Marco Nasti from AC Milan this summer which would involve paying a very small transfer fee. As reported by Calciomercato.com, the Serie B side have identified Nasti as a forward that can help take them back to Serie A next season but they would struggle to pay the sort of transfer fee that Milan would demand for the 20-year-old. Instead, they are going to try and do a deal that is reminiscent of the way that Milan sold Marco Brescianini to Frosinone and Daniel Maldini to Empoli. That would mean…
