TOPTrevor Lawrence Reflects on Clemson's Dabo Swinney
Dabo Swinney recruited Trevor Lawrence after Clemson's 2017 national championship victory over Alabama, leading to another championship win against Alabama under Lawrence's quarterback leadership. Lawrence emphasized Swinney's authenticity, noting Swinney remains unfazed by media criticism and doesn't adopt a false persona. Lawrence credited Swinney with teaching him to ignore external noise, a crucial skill as he faces early NFL criticism. He silenced doubters in 2018 by becoming one of only two true freshmen ever to win a national championship, leading the nation with 30 touchdown passes and topping passer ratings as a freshman and sophomore under Swinney's guidance. According to Lawrence, Swinney excels as a motivator rather than a tactical coach, instilling unwavering confidence in players. Lawrence recalled Swinney's ability to make the team believe they could defeat any opponent, regardless of perceived superiority, through lengthy but captivating team meetings. This confidence-building is vital for Lawrence, who entered the NFL with limited experience under center or using cadences. His current collaboration with Jaguars offensive coordinator Liam Coen aims to replicate Clemson's underdog success against top teams like Kansas City, Buffalo, and Baltimore. Lawrence highlighted Swinney's role in elevating Clemson beyond its "Clemsoning" reputation—historically good but not elite—and breaking Nick Saban's college football dominance. He described Swinney as balancing motivation with leadership, contrasting cerebral coaches who overlook that aspect. The Jaguars are not seeking a new starting quarterback despite criticism. Meanwhile, Swinney is developing his next first-round prospect, Cade Klubnik—viewed as a top 2026 draft candidate—with Clemson opening its season against LSU on August 30.

TOPReal Madrid Transfer News: Garcia, Vinicius Jr, Lunin, Rodrygo & More - July 16, 2025
Real Madrid has officially announced the departure of midfielder Lucas Vázquez, with a farewell ceremony scheduled for July 17. The club has set a transfer fee of €20 million for left-back Fran Garcia. AC Milan is rumored to be interested, and Real Madrid is reportedly willing to sell either Garcia or Ferland Mendy, with Garcia offering higher potential return. Barcelona president Joan Laporta is reportedly exploring an ambitious move to sign Real Madrid forwards Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, aiming to strengthen Barcelona while weakening their rivals. However, this move is considered unlikely due to Barcelona's financial constraints. Villarreal has enquired about signing Real Madrid's second-choice goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who has some Champions League experience. Real Madrid is reportedly reluctant to sell the player. Liverpool has emerged as the frontrunner to sign Rodrygo, with manager Arne Slot described as a massive fan who has made the 24-year-old his top target. This interest comes as Liverpool anticipates the departure of Luis Diaz, creating a need for a left-sided player.

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham undergoes shoulder injury and set to miss early part of season
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham underwent surgery on his left shoulder on Wednesday. The club stated the procedure was necessary to address a "recurrent dislocation" of that shoulder and confirmed the surgery was successful. Following the operation, Bellingham will now enter a rehabilitation phase before he can return to training and begin his recovery. While the club did not specify the expected duration of his absence, reports in Spanish media suggest he could be sidelined for approximately two to three months. This timeline indicates Bellingham is likely to miss the beginning of Real Madrid's La Liga season, which commences with a match against Osasuna on August 19.

Jamal Musiala exclusive: ‘Ronaldinho, Messi, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo were untouchable in my eyes’ - The Athletic
Guests arriving at Munich's FGV Schmidle studios in mid-May encountered strict secrecy protocols for an undisclosed project involving footballer Jamal Musiala. Attendees surrendered phones with camera lenses covered, signed binding confidentiality agreements, and adhered to a no-leaks policy under tightly drawn curtains. Two months later during Bayern Munich's Club World Cup quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain, Musiala suffered a catastrophic leg injury. After chasing a loose ball and colliding, his foot twisted abnormally, resulting in a broken fibula, fractured ankle, and ruptured ligaments amid intense pain and distress. The previously guarded secret was revealed: Musiala features as a cover star for EA SPORTS FC 26 alongside Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham. This explains the earlier Munich filming session where Musiala appeared happy and engaged during promotional shoots. Musiala expressed profound personal significance about the cover, recalling childhood gaming sessions where he idolized players like Messi and Ronaldo. "I'd watch their skills then practice in the park," he shared. "Being selected feels surreal—a dream achieved after imagining my idols in this position." The celebratory reveal coincided with Musiala's challenging recovery from surgery. Doctors estimate his return to play no earlier than November, casting the honor against a backdrop of rehabilitation and uncertainty. Via social media, Musiala thanked supporters for their messages following his injury: "The surgery went well. I'm in good care and will use this period to rebuild my strength and positivity."

AC Milan ready to spend €60m as Liverpool assess transfer offer
AC Milan has reportedly submitted a €60 million offer for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, emerging as serious contenders for the Uruguayan. This development follows Napoli's withdrawal from pursuing the player after their earlier bid of €50 million plus €5 million in bonuses was rejected by Liverpool as insufficient. Napoli, frustrated by Liverpool's valuation, has shifted its focus to Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca, expected to cost around €34 million. With Napoli out of the picture, AC Milan's offer is seen as aligning more closely with Liverpool's expectations, potentially facilitating further talks. Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal also remains firmly interested in Nunez and could return with a counteroffer, giving both Liverpool and the player options. Nunez's future has been a persistent topic this summer, with a growing sense that a fresh start might be beneficial for all parties after a mixed season under manager Arne Slot. The key difference between the collapsed Napoli move and the potential Milan transfer is the reported offer meeting Liverpool's valuation. With Milan and Al-Hilal seriously involved and the player open to a move, Liverpool may have reached a decisive point in negotiations regarding Nunez's future.

Man Utd hit with 'significant setback' in race to sign AC Milan-linked striker who is much cheaper than Viktor Gyokeres
Manchester United and manager Ruben Amorim face missing out on striker target Viktor Gyokeres, with reports indicating the Swedish international is now expected to join Arsenal. Gyokeres, 27, desires to leave Sporting CP this summer, attracting interest from both United and Arsenal. He has an £85m (€100m) release clause at Sporting, but Arsenal are reportedly close to securing a deal worth around £63.5m (€73.5m). Consequently, Manchester United must pursue alternative options. One such alternative is Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, 25, who has also been linked with AC Milan. Vlahovic's contract with Juventus expires in 2026, and the club is reportedly keen to sell him this summer. He scored 17 goals and provided 5 assists in 44 appearances last season, with Juventus open to offers as low as £20m; however, Vlahovic is reportedly negotiating for a compensation fee. United have suffered a "significant setback" in their pursuit of Vlahovic. According to reports, the Serbian striker is set to reject a move to Old Trafford and instead join AC Milan, reuniting with his former Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri.

Camron Cooper, a redshirt junior linebacker at UTSA, has been nominated for the 2025 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®, as announced by Allstate and the American Football Coaches Association. This year saw a record-breaking 197 nominees, the highest number in the award's 34-year history. Established in 1992, the award recognizes college football players and student staff for their off-field community service efforts.

During the 2023 Frisco Bowl trip, he volunteered with Frisco Fastpacs, building food care packages for children. On the field, Cooper played in all 13 games last season for UTSA, contributing at outside linebacker and on special teams. Notable performances include a season-high four tackles in his first start at Army, a blocked punt against Florida Atlantic, recording two tackles (including a sack) and causing a fumble at Tulsa, another sack against Temple, and two stops in the Myrtle Beach Bowl win against Coastal Carolina. The award honors college football student-athletes and coaches for their commitment to community service and leadership beyond football. Quotes from Danny Wuerffel (namesake of the Wuerffel Trophy) and Sam Acho (former Good Works Team member) emphasized the significant impact and inspiration created by the nominees' service. The final roster of 23 award recipients will be announced in September, selected by a panel of former team members, head coaches, and journalists based on outstanding on and off-field leadership. The article concludes with details about UTSA's upcoming 15th football season, starting with a nationally televised game against Texas A&M on August 30th.

Copa Airlines has announced plans to significantly expand its network within the Dominican Republic starting in January 2026. This expansion includes launching new non-stop flights to Puerto Plata and reinstating suspended service to Santiago de los Caballeros, strengthening the airline's Caribbean presence. Flights to Puerto Plata's Gregorio Luperón International Airport, Copa's fourth Dominican destination alongside Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, and Santiago, will commence on January 13, 2026. The airline will operate three weekly flights (Tuesdays, Fridays, Sundays) using Boeing 737 aircraft seating approximately 166 passengers. The schedule features flights departing Panama City at 7:55 a.m. and arriving in Puerto Plata at 11:32 a.m. local time, with return flights leaving Puerto Plata at 12:37 p.m. and arriving in Panama City at 2:19 p.m. local time. Simultaneously, on January 15, 2026, Copa Airlines will resume operations to Santiago de los Caballeros, the Dominican Republic's second-largest city and a major commercial and industrial hub. This reinstatement reflects the airline's confidence in Santiago's economic and tourism potential. The airline emphasizes that this strategic expansion aims to tap into tourism and economic development opportunities in the Dominican Republic, particularly the busy north coast. Copa CEO Pedro Heilbron highlighted that the increased connectivity will foster greater cultural connections and economic relationships between Panama, the Dominican Republic, and other interconnected regions. The new routes are expected to bring significant numbers of tourists and business travelers, generating direct economic benefits for local businesses like hotels and restaurants, creating employment opportunities, and promoting regional economic growth. Central to Copa Airlines' Caribbean strategy is its Hub of the Americas at Panama City's Tocumen International Airport (PTY), which facilitates convenient connections across North America, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

Mokwena becomes new MC Alger manager
Rulani Mokwena has been appointed as the new head coach of Mouloudia Club d'Alger (MC Alger). This follows his departure from Moroccan club Wydad AC after one season, where he failed to secure qualification for the CAF Champions League. Despite being linked with clubs such as Orlando Pirates, Zamalek, and Pyramids FC after leaving Wydad, Mokwena chose to join the Algerian champions. MC Alger has won the Algerian Ligue 1 title for the last two consecutive seasons and will compete in the upcoming CAF Champions League. For his technical team at MC Alger, the 38-year-old Mokwena has recruited his former Sundowns colleague Wendell Robinson and Sibusiso Mahlangu, who worked with him at both Sundowns and Wydad. He has also brought in Belgian Enzo Donis. Robinson will leave his role as assistant coach at AmaZulu, while Donis is leaving his position as assistant coach of Togo. Mokwena stated that MC Alger insisted on retaining some of their current technical staff to aid the transition. He expressed support for this decision during an interview on Metro FM with Andile Ncube, noting it provides familiarity and retains expertise in winning and performing well in the Champions League with the existing squad.

Jordan Nobbs, record WSL appearance-holder, completes Newcastle transfer
Newcastle United's Women's Super League 2 (WSL 2) team has signed midfielder Jordan Nobbs, the record holder for the most appearances in the Women's Super League. Nobbs brings extensive experience from the top tier of English women's football, having played 15 seasons and accumulated 208 WSL appearances during her time at Arsenal and Aston Villa. Upon joining Newcastle, Nobbs expressed her motivation, stating the club's ambition aligns with her own: she sees Newcastle as a "very ambitious club" aiming for promotion and to advance women's football in the north east. Nobbs emphasized her "winning mentality," noting the team shares this approach, treating every game "like a cup final," and she desires to be part of a "successful club that push[es] to the next level." Her career includes 13 years at Arsenal, where she won 12 trophies, including three WSL titles and four FA Cups, before moving to Aston Villa in January 2023. Nobbs also has significant international experience, earning 71 caps for England, with her latest call-up occurring in 2023. Newcastle United Women finished fifth in WSL 2 during the 2024-25 season, following their promotion from the third tier.

Wayne Rooney & Steven Gerrard told they could reignite coaching careers in surprise country as ex-England boss identifies main 'problem' that Premier League icons have faced
Former England manager Roy Hodgson doubts that Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney will pursue coaching opportunities in unexpected countries like Sweden, despite both being currently unemployed. Hodgson, who has extensive international coaching experience, believes high-profile players like them will continue to attract offers from English clubs due to their legendary status, making a move abroad unlikely. Hodgson suggests that managers without such star power—like Graham Potter or himself—are more probable candidates for overseas roles. He highlights increasing job insecurity in football, noting the average managerial tenure drops below one year outside the Premier League. However, he questions whether clubs in nations like Sweden could financially afford English managers' salary expectations today. Despite his skepticism about Sweden, Hodgson would advise Gerrard and Rooney to accept foreign opportunities if presented. He praises their drive but wonders if they could adapt to working with less skilled players, though he cites Rooney's positive experience helping struggling players at Plymouth. Hodgson differentiates their career trajectory from managers like Vincent Kompany, who climbed through clubs like Anderlecht before joining Bayern Munich. Currently, Gerrard remains without a managerial position since leaving Saudi Arabia's Al-Ettifaq in January 2024, while Rooney—after departing Plymouth Argyle—is focused on media work and a documentary with his wife Coleen.

Reports: Alberto Costa might not be leaving Juventus after all
Juventus fullback Alberto Costa appeared close to a €20 million transfer to Sporting CP just days ago, which would have ended his six-month spell in Turin after limited appearances. However, the move now seems uncertain as Juventus—particularly manager Igor Tudor—is reconsidering selling the 21-year-old during the summer transfer window. Contrary to initial €20 million reports, Sporting's current bid is valued between €13-15 million including add-ons, according to Fabrizio Romano and O Jogo. Juventus demands a €15 million fixed fee plus add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause. Costa was previously a Sporting target in January before joining Juventus for €13.4 million. The situation remains fluid despite recent expectations of a quick sale. Tudor's potential insistence on retaining Costa complicates matters, especially as Costa is Juventus' only natural right wingback option with Timothy Weah reportedly available. Costa showed promise in his 14 appearances last season, performing well despite struggles against elite clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid. Juventus' new management would require a significantly improved offer to approve a sale. While Sporting aims to act quickly amid competition from other clubs, Costa's future—whether staying in Turin or returning to Portugal—remains undecided at this stage.

Palazzalo Sees Jalen Ramsey As Steelers' Potential Secret Weapon To Slow Lamar Jackson
Analyst Steve Palazzolo suggested the Pittsburgh Steelers could utilize defensive back Jalen Ramsey as a "secret weapon" against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, specifically proposing a hybrid nickel linebacker role. Palazzolo praised Ramsey's exceptional ability in "away from the ball" play, highlighting his skills in blowing up screens and making impactful plays even when not targeted, citing his statistics of 19 tackles for loss and 50 passes defensed over the past four seasons. The Steelers recognize a significant challenge in facing the Ravens, admitting they had "a Baltimore problem" last year after being dominated, particularly in the playoffs. While historically competitive against Jackson, their effectiveness has diminished. Palazzolo argued that Ramsey's toolkit, especially his tackling ability from the cornerback position – an area where the Steelers could improve – would be extremely valuable in slowing down Jackson and the Ravens' offense. This need is underscored by Jackson's efficient performances against Pittsburgh last season, including throwing five touchdown passes across two games (regular season and playoffs) with minimal pass attempts. However, the Steelers' actual plans for deploying Ramsey remain unclear. It is unknown if they currently have a defined role for him, with the expectation that head coach Mike Tomlin will emphasize flexibility based on Ramsey's play. The article notes that acquiring Ramsey represents an unusual move for the Steelers, driven by the critical need to beat the Ravens to win the AFC North, but also expresses hope that this pressure hasn't led to moves without a clear vision.

Daily Schmankerl: Manchester United, Atlético Madrid like former Bayern Munich midfielder; Al Nassr eyeing AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic; Liverpool sets price for Luis Díaz; Paul Wanner out a potential destination?; Newcastle wants Hugo Ekitiké; and MORE!
Manchester United have made contact with Corentin Tolisso's representatives regarding a potential summer transfer from Lyon. The France international, who had a solid season in Ligue 1, is reportedly open to joining the Premier League club. However, Manchester United face competition from Atlético Madrid for the midfielder's signature. Lyon, experiencing financial difficulties, may sell Tolisso despite his contract running until 2027. Tolisso's career was previously impacted by an ACL injury affecting his explosiveness. Separately, Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr is considering a move for AC Milan and USMNT winger Christian Pulisic to strengthen their attack. The club is evaluating options to acquire the 26-year-old, with one idea potentially involving including 31-year-old defender Aymeric Laporte in a deal. If the transfer happens, Pulisic would join an attack featuring Sadio Mané and Cristiano Ronaldo at the Riyadh-based club, coinciding with Saudi Arabia hosting the next FIFA World Cup.

AC Milan make contact with Monaco striker Breel Embolo
AC Milan have initiated contact with AS Monaco striker Breel Embolo regarding a potential summer transfer, as reported by journalist Gianluca Di Marzio. Manager Massimiliano Allegri has prioritized signing a new centre-forward as part of the club's summer overhaul plans. The Rossoneri require a reliable backup for Santiago Gimenez, especially following the departures of Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic. Players Noah Okafor and Alvaro Morata could also leave as they are not part of the club's future plans. Beyond backup, Milan also want the incoming striker to provide genuine competition for Gimenez, who has struggled to settle since his arrival from Feyenoord. Embolo has consequently emerged as a target on Milan's wishlist. His potential availability is enhanced by his contract expiring next summer, which could allow Milan to secure him for a reduced fee compared to Monaco's current €20 million valuation. Embolo has been a key player for Monaco since joining from Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2022. Last season, he contributed seven goals and nine assists, helping the club qualify for the Champions League. He is also a regular starter for the Swiss national team, scoring in consecutive friendlies against Mexico and the USA last month. Described as a traditional target man due to his strong physical build, Embolo is also noted for his excellent link-up play.

Ranking the 5 greatest signings in Manchester United history
Manchester United has faced criticism for expensive recent signings like Antony (£86m) and Jadon Sancho (£73m), who failed to meet expectations and are now seeking exits after loan spells. This contrasts sharply with the club's historically shrewd recruitment, particularly under Sir Alex Ferguson, whose 2013 retirement seemingly ended that successful era. The club risks relying solely on its past glories, prompting a look back at five of its greatest signings. Cristiano Ronaldo was signed for £12m in 2003 after impressing against United for Sporting Lisbon. He transformed from a skilful teenager into a world-class forward, winning three Premier League titles and one Champions League before being sold to Real Madrid. A return in 2021 proved less successful, and his second stint ended after a controversial interview with Piers Morgan criticizing the club and manager Erik ten Hag, leading to his departure for Al-Nassr. Roy Keane, known for his leadership as captain, was a dominant midfielder who enabled players like Ryan Giggs and David Beckham to thrive. His iconic performance in the 1999 Champions League semi-final, despite knowing he'd miss the final, was pivotal in United winning the trophy. Keane won seven Premier League titles but his United career also ended after critical comments, this time on the club's own channel, MUTV. Denis Law, signed for £115,000 in 1962, won two First Division titles and the European Cup with United. He claimed the Ballon d'Or in 1964, remaining the only Scottish player to do so. After leaving for Manchester City, he famously scored the goal that relegated United in 1974 but refused to celebrate. Law passed away in 2024 aged 84. Eric Cantona, signed from rivals Leeds United after helping them win the 1992 First Division, became a cult hero at Old Trafford. He won four Premier League titles and two FA Cups, known for spectacular goals and swagger. His career was also marked by controversy, including a kung-fu kick on a Crystal Palace fan. He later became an actor. Wayne Rooney is highlighted as arguably Manchester United's greatest signing. He broke numerous records, becoming the club's all-time top goalscorer with 253 goals, a record considered very difficult to beat.

Arsenal star Declan Rice reacts to Andy Carroll’s message after shock transfer
Former Premier League striker Andy Carroll completed a surprising move to National League South side Dagenham and Redbridge on July 12th. The 36-year-old, who previously played for Newcastle United, West Ham, and Liverpool, most recently featured for Bordeaux in France before their relegation amid financial issues. Carroll shared photos of himself and his children at his new club on Instagram on July 14th with the caption "This one is for you kids." This post received a like from Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, who is preparing for the new Premier League season with his club. Despite dropping to the sixth tier of English football, Carroll demonstrated his goalscoring ability last season by scoring 11 goals in 21 appearances for Bordeaux in the French fourth tier. Furthermore, he scored 9 goals in 30 Championship appearances for Reading during the 2022/23 season. Dagenham and Redbridge, who finished 21st in the National League last term, were relegated to the National League South (sixth tier). It is anticipated that Carroll's presence and proven goalscoring record, even at higher levels recently, will significantly boost the London club's chances of securing promotion back to the fifth tier immediately.

How Did Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence Fare in American Century Championship?
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence participated in the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Edgewood Tahoe, continuing his involvement in golf tournaments since being drafted in 2021. He competed against numerous other athletes and celebrities. Lawrence finished the tournament tied for 75th place out of 90 golfers, sharing that position with actor Miles Teller. He achieved a score of -27. Several notable figures finished below him, including Larry The Cable Guy, George Kittle, Baker Mayfield, Jason Kelce, and Rich Eisen. The top finishers were Joe Pavelski (winner), Jake Owen, John Smoltz, Steph Curry, Tony Romo, and Michael Pena. Given the strong golf presence in Jacksonville and the interest new Jaguars head coach Liam Coen has in golf, Lawrence is expected to remain a regular participant in future golf tournaments. It remains to be seen whether Coen or other Jaguars players will join him in these events. The tournament, held annually at Edgewood Tahoe since 1990, is described as the country's premier celebrity golf competition. It consistently features major names from sports and entertainment. Edgewood Tahoe also has a history of hosting significant USGA events, including the 1980 U.S. Public Links Championship (won by Jodie Mudd) and the 1985 U.S. Senior Open Championship (won by Miller Barber), which was the first televised Senior Open.

Trump says Club World Cup trophy will remain in Oval Office after tournament’s end
US President Donald Trump claims the original FIFA Club World Cup trophy displayed in the Oval Office will remain there permanently, asserting that FIFA created a copy awarded to Chelsea after they won the newly expanded tournament's final on Sunday. Trump stated FIFA told him, "You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We're making a new one," and confirmed a new trophy was indeed made. Trump attended Sunday's final alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino and members of his cabinet. Both presidents jointly presented the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James, with Trump positioning himself prominently at the center during the ceremony, reportedly causing apparent confusion among players and despite Infantino's pleading. This incident continues Trump's involvement with FIFA, which intensified after his second term began. Infantino first unveiled the trophy at an Oval Office event in March, and it has remained displayed there for all subsequent events in the room since that time. FIFA has not clarified if any differences exist between the two trophies. During an interview with broadcaster Dazn, Trump also suggested issuing an executive order to rename soccer as "football" in the US and claimed other world leaders call the US "the hottest country" economically and politically. He framed FIFA bringing the Club World Cup and men's World Cup to the US as promoting unity and international love through soccer. However, planning for next year's World Cup in the US faces challenges from Trump administration policies, including travel bans affecting fans from certain countries (with exceptions for athletes/staff), threats of ICE raids at games, and lengthy visa processing times.

A Delta plane had to U-turn after flying through a hailstorm that seemingly put a dent in its nose
A Delta Air Lines flight from Barcelona to New York JFK returned to its origin after sustaining damage from a hailstorm. Flight DL169, operated by an Airbus A330, departed at 2:30 p.m. local time on Saturday for an expected eight-hour journey. Flight tracking data revealed the aircraft looped over mainland Spain and the Balearic Sea before circling multiple times and landing back in Barcelona approximately 45 minutes after departure. Delta confirmed the plane experienced "weather-related damage" during the incident. Social media images showed significant damage, including a large dent on the nose and other hail-consistent impacts. Passengers reportedly received severe storm alerts on their phones during taxiing before takeoff. The nine-year-old aircraft (registered N827NW) remained parked in Barcelona through Monday. Delta stated the flight landed safely and rebooked passengers on alternate flights, apologizing for travel delays. This incident follows similar weather-related events, including an Austrian Airlines plane damaged in a 2022 thunderstorm and another Delta flight that diverted to Rome after a 2023 hailstorm.

Key Sporting ace who played under Ruben Amorim is 'gaining traction' and Man Utd now told 'desired price' for transfer
Reports indicate Manchester United must pay a specific fee to bring Sporting CP defender Gonçalo Inacio to Old Trafford, reuniting him with his former manager Ruben Amorim. Amorim established his reputation as a top European managerial prospect during his successful tenure at Sporting CP, where he won two Primeira Liga titles and two Portuguese League Cups. Amorim left Sporting CP during the 2024-25 season and subsequently replaced Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager in 2024. Ten Hag was dismissed in October following a poor start to that season. Following Amorim's arrival at United, centre-back Gonçalo Inacio has been linked with a move to the club and is reportedly 'gaining traction' as a potential signing for next season. The 23-year-old Portuguese international played a key role under Amorim at Sporting, contributing to their first league title together.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey Welcomes First Child With Former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo
San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey and model Olivia Culpo announced the birth of their first child, a daughter named Colette Annalise McCaffrey, in a joint Instagram post on Sunday. The announcement comes a week before McCaffrey reports to training camp and eight weeks before the NFL season starts. The couple, who married in 2024, shared a photo introducing their daughter to the football community. They had previously announced in March that Culpo, a former Miss Universe, was expecting, with Culpo stating "Next chapter: motherhood" at the time. In her social media posts on Sunday, Culpo shared hospital photos with McCaffrey. She expressed that Colette is "so lucky to have the best daddy in the world" and described motherhood as "the scariest and most rewarding experience," noting she felt "complete peace" when McCaffrey entered the room. The news comes as McCaffrey, 29, is recovering from a PCL tear suffered early in the 2024 season, which limited him. Despite injury concerns, he remains a top-ranked running back and recently signed a two-year, $38 million extension with the 49ers, keeping him with the team through the 2027 season.

Anonymity, ascent, stardom and combustion: Theo Hernandez’s AC Milan journey
Theo Hernandez has concluded his six-year tenure at AC Milan, with his permanent transfer to Al-Hilal confirmed by both clubs, marking a departure that contrasts with his successful spell. He joined Milan from Real Madrid in the 2019 summer transfer window, accumulating 262 appearances, 34 goals, and 45 assists during his time. Key achievements include being instrumental in the team's 2021-22 Serie A Scudetto victory under Stefano Pioli, reaching the Champions League semi-finals the following season, and winning the Supercoppa Italiana in the most recent campaign. His arrival at Milan involved Paolo Maldini, then the club's technical director, who personally flew to Ibiza to convince Hernandez to join over interest from Bayer Leverkusen. Maldini's direct approach, highlighting Milan's project, led to a €20 million transfer, with Hernandez drawn to the legend's involvement. Initially, he faced competition for the left-back spot from Ricardo Rodriguez under coach Marco Giampaolo, who preferred Rodriguez for his experience. Hernandez made his debut in a September 2019 loss to Inter and gradually increased his playing time, eventually securing the starting role after Pioli took over as manager. Hernandez scored his first goal for Milan in an October 2019 comeback win against Genoa, ending his debut season with seven goals and three assists. Despite early scrutiny over his defensive abilities and the chaotic environment, including rumors of managerial changes like Ralf Rangnick's potential arrival, he flourished under Pioli. A standout moment came in December 2020 with a 93rd-minute winning header against Lazio, which kept Milan atop Serie A. In the 2020-21 season, Hernandez emerged as one of Serie A's best left-backs, contributing eight goals and seven assists as Milan challenged for the title. His partnership with Rafael Leao on the left flank, nicknamed "Theao," became highly effective, considered among Europe's most formidable duos. This synergy was pivotal in the 2021-22 Scudetto win, showcasing Hernandez's growth into a game-changing player for the club.
