AC Milan are the latest team to be linked with a potential move for Juventus outcast Federico Chiesa, but the management have various things to reflect on. As Calciomercato.com recall, Chiesa has been ‘publicly dumped’ by Juve who have officially put him on the market, leaving him out of the squad for preseason games and even removing his shirt from sale in the club shop. Chiesa is looking for a club before August 30, the date on which the summer transfer window will end, but said club must be willing to satisfy the €20m asking price that the Bianconeri have…
Lakers Reportedly Interested In Trading For Star Big Man One of the main players that the Los Angeles Lakers were connected with all offseason was center Jonas Valančiūnas. He ended up signing with the Washington Wizards, leaving the Lakers to look elsewhere to upgrade the frontcourt depth. Los Angeles entered the offseason looking to bring in more help at the center position to play alongside star Anthony Davis. However, the team hasn’t added any player to the frontcourt and they are still in search mode. But it seems that the Lakers may get a second chance at landing Valančiūnas once…
The Packers believe the benefits outweigh the risks when it comes to playing Jordan Love in the preseason, so one of the NFL’s newly highest-paid players will see some action in Saturday’s preseason opener at the Cleveland Browns. Love signed a four-year, $220 million contract extension less than two weeks ago that tied him atop the quarterback pay scale at $55 million per season. He missed the first four practices of training camp while the final details of the contract were negotiated. LaFleur played Love in all three preseason games last summer in large part because it was Love’s first year as the starting quarterback.…
After signing a sign-and-trade agreement with the Dallas Mavericks in July, guard Klay Thompson became a free agent for the first time since 2011, meaning the Golden State Warriors are playing without him throughout the offseason. With Thompson’s departure, an era in the Bay came to an end. Along with coach Steve Kerr, the Warriors still have Draymond Green and Stephen Curry, but this season’s roster will include some new players looking to get Golden State back to the postseason after a play-in tournament loss to the Sacramento Kings. Following Thompson’s exit, Kyle Anderson, Buddy Hield, and De’Anthony Melton were…
We’re less than a week removed from a trade deadline that was something of a letdown. A big reason for that feeling of dissatisfaction is that most of the teams with a deep well of prospects to cash in for established stars ultimately decided against such a strategy. And no club embodied that tactic more than the Orioles. In the days and hours leading up to the deadline, Baltimore was linked to basically every big name rumored to be gettable. But making a play for Tarik Skubal, Garrett Crochet or Tanner Scott would have meant withdrawing from its ATM of high-end…
It’s very rare that Arsenal get a deal done without a few hiccups. Indeed, the Gunners are never far from a bit of drama. Last summer, Manchester City tried a late hijack of the Declan Rice deal, while there was even drama surrounding Riccardo Calafiori’s move this summer. Mikel Merino is reportedly the player Arsenal want to sign next, and, once again, there are conflicting reports around this deal. Art De Roche claimed earlier this week that Merino isn’t that close to joining Arsenal. “Yeah I think it makes sense. It doesn’t seem as though it’s as close at the…
Team USA is facing Brazil on Tuesday in a Paris Olympics quarterfinal game. Heavy favorites to defeat Brazil and advance to the semifinals against Serbia, Team USA has a major talent advantage in this game. Nothing illustrates this more than who the USA has coming off their bench, as several of their reserves would be the best players on other teams in this tournament. Making a starting lineup change for this game, Golden State Warriors and Team USA head coach Steve Kerr removed Boston Celtics star Jason Tatum from the starting lineup. Kerr replaced Tatum with his Celtics teammate, as…
18-year-old attacker Endrick made his debut in a 1-0 friendly loss to AC Milan, and Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti claimed that he “has something truly special” following the game. Endrick was replaced at halftime as Ancelotti made a number of changes at Soldier Field in Chicago. Endrick arrived from Brazilian club Palmeiras this summer following an agreement reached in 2022. Ancelotti declared: “He’s a great talent because he’s very fast, dangerous in confined spaces, able to turn quickly in small areas, and agile when trying to break free.” A player with these kinds of qualities is uncommon to find.”…
Klay Thompson of the Dallas Mavericks lights up an exhibition basketball match. It was a basketball tournament, and the new Mavericks guard—a future Hall of Famer—was dominating.
