TOPArsenal close in on £13m LaLiga star with medical expected this week as Mikel Arteta's summer spending spree continues
Arsenal are finalizing a deal with Valencia for 21-year-old centre-back Cristhian Mosquera. Following advanced talks over the weekend, Mosquera has agreed personal terms with Arsenal and is expected to undergo a medical this week. The clubs are finalizing the details of a £13 million transfer fee, which includes additional bonus payments. Arsenal sought a defender to compete with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, and Mosquera will fill the squad gap left by Takehiro Tomiyasu's departure. Mosquera, who can play both centre-back and right-back, is a Spain Under-21 international. He has made 90 appearances for Valencia and was a consistent starter last season, playing the full match in 37 of their 38 La Liga games. Separately, Arsenal are also finalizing details with Sporting Lisbon for the transfer of Victor Gyokeres.

TOP'Without Cristiano Ronaldo, I wouldn't be here' - New Al-Nassr coach speaks out after making shock switch from Saudi Pro League rivals
Newly-appointed Al-Nassr manager Jorge Jesus stated that the opportunity to coach Cristiano Ronaldo was the decisive factor in his decision to accept the position. He explicitly said he would not have taken the job as manager of the Saudi Arabian club if it had not included the chance to work with the Portuguese superstar.

The Mike Evans Contract Watch
NFL writer Dan Pompei identified Mike Evans as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' top contract priority to monitor, dismissing other names mentioned by fans. Evans is entering the final year of his two-year, $41 million deal. While he expressed impatience during his last contract negotiation, he is reportedly currently comfortable with the situation. However, questions remain about his future contract demands and how long his patience will last. Despite approaching age 32, Evans shows no signs of declining performance. He is considered one of the Buccaneers' greatest players ever, a respected leader both in the locker room and the community, and a vital part of the offense. The Buccaneers organization is expected to want to retain him. Retaining Evans presents financial challenges for the Buccaneers. The team recently signed Chris Godwin to a contract extension and used a first-round draft pick on wide receiver Emeka Egbuka. Securing Evans, especially at a salary similar to his current deal, may prove difficult. While retirement is a possibility, it is considered unlikely for a productive player at his age, and Evans is expected to have another strong season.

Steelers Free Agent Target Explains Why He Didn’t Choose Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted free agent fullback Kyle Juszczyk for a visit in March, but he ultimately decided to re-sign with the San Francisco 49ers instead of joining the Steelers. Juszczyk explained his decision, stating that while he enjoyed his time with Steelers coaches Arthur Smith and Mike Tomlin and felt "a lot of love" from Pittsburgh, generating excitement about a potential new beginning, it "wasn't enough to trump what I had in San Francisco." He emphasized he couldn't "pull the plug" on his time with the 49ers. Significantly, Juszczyk took a pay cut to return to the 49ers. ESPN's Nick Wagoner reported that the Steelers actually made a better financial offer than the two-year, $8 million deal Juszczyk accepted to stay in San Francisco. This represents a notable loss for the Steelers, who are aiming to contend for the Super Bowl this season. Juszczyk is considered the premier fullback in the NFL, having earned nine consecutive Pro Bowl selections and a second-team All-Pro honor in 2024. He remains productive, catching 19 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns, plus rushing for 26 yards and a touchdown last season, showing no signs of decline despite turning 34 in April.

Wesley Gassova on Bologna radar from Al-Nassr
Bologna are reportedly targeting Brazilian forward Wesley Gassova, as indicated by Sky Sport Italia, despite his €18m transfer to Al-Nassr in August 2024. The 20-year-old, who has earned nine caps for Brazil's Under-20 team, previously played for Corinthians before joining the Saudi Pro League club. At Al-Nassr, Wesley became teammates with Cristiano Ronaldo and worked briefly under Italian coach Stefano Pioli. Bologna's interest emerges as a potential contingency plan should they decide to sell Dan Ndoye this summer, though CEO Claudio Fenucci recently stated the club has "no need to sell anymore players" following Sam Beukema's transfer to Napoli, casting doubt on Ndoye's departure. Wesley offers tactical versatility, capable of playing on either wing in a trident attack or as a central supporting striker. During his debut season with Al-Nassr, he made 22 appearances across all competitions, contributing one goal and three assists.

Patrick Mahomes is voted the NFL’s top quarterback by AP writers
Patrick Mahomes has been voted the No. 1 quarterback in the NFL by The Associated Press in a preseason survey of eight AP Pro Football Writers. This marks his position atop the rankings, though he faced more competition than in 2023 and 2024 when he was a unanimous choice. The ranking is based on current status entering the 2025 season, using a points system where first-place votes are worth 10 points, and second through fifth-place votes are worth 5, 3, 2, and 1 point respectively. Mahomes, the three-time Super Bowl MVP, received five first-place votes to secure the top spot. Reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen finished second, earning two first-place votes. Joe Burrow received the remaining first-place vote and placed third. Two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson ranked fourth, and Jalen Hurts, who notably outplayed Mahomes in the Eagles' Super Bowl 59 victory over the Chiefs, came in fifth. Jayden Daniels and C.J. Stroud also received votes. Despite posting a career-low 3,928 passing yards and tying his fewest touchdown passes (26) last season, Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance and fifth in his seven years as the starting quarterback. Entering his age-30 season, Mahomes now has the opportunity to become only the fourth quarterback in NFL history to win four Super Bowls.

How signing rookie Terrance Ferguson could prove difficult for Rams
The Houston Texans' decision to fully guarantee second-round receiver Jayden Higgins' contract has created division among NFL teams and their unsigned second-round draft picks. Only two of this year's 32 second-round selections—Higgins and Cleveland Browns' Carson Schwesinger—have finalized contracts so far. This split is intensifying as the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers, who will play in the Hall of Fame Game, begin early training camp. Chargers receiver Tre Harris is officially holding out from camp, while a Lions offensive lineman is expected to follow suit when rookies report. The Los Angeles Rams situation highlights the broader issue: though most Rams rookies signed contracts on May 10, second-round tight end Terrance Ferguson remains unsigned despite fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter finalizing his deal in late May. With 30 second-round picks still unsigned league-wide and two already holding out, Ferguson risks missing the start of Rams practices. Ferguson's potential absence could significantly impact his development, as the tight end position has a steep learning curve. Any delayed start might reduce his opportunities to earn offensive playing time. This developing situation warrants close attention ahead of the Rams' July 22 training camp report date.

Former 49ers starter without a job deserves a training camp invite
Daniel Brunskill, a former San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman, remains unsigned as a free agent despite his proven versatility and track record. He rose to prominence with the 49ers starting in 2019 after joining from the defunct Alliance of American Football, playing multiple positions across the offensive line through 2022. Notably, he earned recognition for consistently containing future Hall of Fame defensive tackle Aaron Donald during twice-yearly matchups against the Los Angeles Rams. After leaving the 49ers in 2023, Brunskill spent two seasons with the Tennessee Titans before re-entering free agency in March. Despite being 31 years old, the article argues he merits more interest due to his positional flexibility—having played tackle, guard, and center—and his recent performance history. While his 2024 season with Tennessee was considered a down year (earning a 55.3 Pro Football Focus grade), he posted consecutive seasons with grades above 67 prior to that. The 49ers appear unlikely to re-sign him despite offensive line departures like Jaylon Moore and Aaron Banks. However, teams with weaker offensive lines—such as the Cincinnati Bengals or Seattle Seahawks—could benefit from his experience as training camp approaches. The author contends Brunskill deserves another opportunity before the regular season begins, suggesting teams may be monitoring him as contingency option for depth and competition.

Baltimore Ravens Defensive Preview: Rush Hour
The AFC North division boasts elite pass rushers, including star players like T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett, and Trey Hendrickson. While the Baltimore Ravens lack a singular superstar at the position compared to their rivals, they possess a highly effective unit that collectively pressures opposing quarterbacks. Edge rushers lead the Ravens' sack production, headlined by veterans Kyle Van Noy (12.5 sacks in 2024) and Odafe Oweh (10 sacks in 2024), both setting career highs. Despite being 34, Van Noy's strong performance suggests he can continue contributing. The Ravens also feature promising younger edge rushers: David Ojabo, Tavius Robinson, Adisa Isaac, and rookie Mike Green (all 26 or younger). Green, a second-round pick from Marshall who led FBS with 17 sacks but had off-field concerns, has impressed coaches. Pass rush coach Chuck Smith specifically praised Green's advanced technique, quick "get-off," and absence of false steps, stating he has met expectations so far. While edge rushers secure sacks, interior linemen create opportunities. Nnamdi Madubuike is a formidable pass rusher himself (19.5 sacks over two seasons), and Travis Jones impacts the game by occupying blockers in the middle. Depth on the interior is a point of interest. Broderick Washington remains a solid third tackle, but the departures of Michael Pierce and Brent Urban necessitate replacements. Veteran John Jenkins takes over as nose tackle, and rookie Aeneas Peebles, known for his high motor, adds to the group. The Ravens' defensive front has been highly successful, finishing top two in sacks for two consecutive seasons while maintaining a strong run defense. Their continued dominance is seen as crucial for the team's ultimate success.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's shock comeback? Gabon international could return to former club after becoming free agent this summer
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is poised for a potential return to France, with his former club Marseille negotiating to sign him. Marseille is offering the forward a two-year contract and discussions are currently focused on finalizing the financial terms of the deal. This move is facilitated by Aubameyang's current club, Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah, who have agreed to mutually terminate the striker's contract. This termination will make Aubameyang a free agent, allowing him to join Marseille without a transfer fee.

Bayern Munich loanee Maurice Krattenmacher thankful for Club World Cup experience, eager for season with Hertha Berlin
Bayern Munich loanee Maurice Krattenmacher, currently playing for Hertha Berlin in the 2. Bundesliga, is considered a promising young talent within the organization. He recently gained valuable experience training with Bayern Munich's first team during the Club World Cup a few weeks ago. Krattenmacher described the experience as "indescribable," stating he learned a lot and was impressed by how well he was welcomed. He expressed amazement at "being able to train with the best of the best" and "being in the same dressing room." He views playing for Hertha Berlin as "a big honor" and believes this loan move is a sensible "small step forward" in his career, aiming to "step up to the top sooner or later." This season presents Krattenmacher with a significant opportunity to prove himself at the 2. Bundesliga level. A successful campaign could position him well for a closer look and potential future role with Bayern Munich next summer.

NFL Power Rankings: Ranking all starting QBs as training camp approaches
Bryce Young had an inconsistent 2024 NFL season, performing well late but struggling overall, leaving him viewed as more of a 'bad' quarterback and still an unknown in the league. His third year with the Carolina Panthers is considered crucial. The team's roster is seen as improved, bolstered by the selection of wide receiver Tet McMillan in the 2025 NFL Draft. Young has significant offensive support to succeed, including two 1,000-yard rushers, Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle. This strong running game could allow the Panthers to utilize play-action effectively, potentially simplifying the passing game and making things easier for Young. The article emphasizes that if Young fails to demonstrate significant improvement in this third season, the Panthers would have little reason to continue building around him, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Sam Darnold, ranked 23rd in the quarterback power rankings, had a breakout 2024 season with the Minnesota Vikings, helping them win 14 games. His performance was so strong that the Vikings opted not to re-sign him in free agency. However, Darnold now faces a significantly less favorable situation with the Seattle Seahawks compared to the near-perfect setup he had in Minnesota. Replicating his 2024 success is expected to be difficult, though not impossible. He enters the season ranked 23rd among quarterbacks.

Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior to Have ‘Crunch Talks’ Over Club World Cup Showings
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso is set to hold talks with star forwards Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior to address concerns regarding their on-field attitudes and work rate, according to Spanish reports. This follows similar issues highlighted under previous manager Carlo Ancelotti last season, with the recent 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup semifinal reinforcing these worries under Alonso. Madrid officials, as reported by MARCA, are specifically concerned about the team's lack of fluency and defensive cohesion, pinpointing an alleged lack of effort from Mbappé and Vinicius in attack and off-the-ball work. Alonso is expected to reiterate a warning he previously issued about the need to put aside egos and contribute defensively. Vinicius's situation is causing the greatest concern. Officials fear his ongoing public contract saga may have affected his mindset, and they will seek answers regarding his recent slump in form. While Mbappé is receiving more understanding due to a recent illness that caused him to miss most of the Club World Cup and may have impacted his PSG performance, Alonso was reportedly unimpressed by his specific lack of defensive effort in that semifinal. Tired of recurring issues, Madrid officials have placed their faith in Alonso to resolve the team's problems and fully support his approach as he prepares to speak with Mbappé, Vinicius, and other players of concern. Former Madrid player Gareth Bale has backed Alonso to get the duo working harmoniously, stating that Alonso commands respect, expects players to follow his style, and isn't afraid to drop anyone who doesn't comply.

Bills Overcoming ‘Big Brother’ Chiefs Could Come Down to Centimeters
The central question revolves around whether the Buffalo Bills can finally overcome the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, drawing an analogy to younger siblings surpassing older ones in competitive families. Domonique Foxworth asserts the Chiefs remain the "big brothers" of the AFC, noting their regular-season struggles last year didn't prevent success, and he anticipates evaluating the gap between Kansas City and other AFC contenders this season. Patrick Mahomes holds a dominant 4-0 playoff record against Josh Allen, despite Allen leading the regular-season series 4-1. Harry Douglas is skeptical of Buffalo's chances, stating Kansas City missing the playoffs would require "pigs to fly" and that the Bills could only win a postseason matchup if another team first upsets the Chiefs. He recounted a young Bills fan’s resignation after the 2023 AFC playoff loss, emphasizing the psychological toll an 0-5 playoff record against Mahomes and coach Andy Reid would inflict on the organization and fans. Bills fans are divided on whether Buffalo has equipped Allen adequately to challenge Kansas City. While the team extended contracts for Khalil Shakir, Christian Benford, and Terrel Bernard, they did not retain James Cook. ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell ranked Buffalo’s non-quarterback skill players 28th in the NFL, citing unthreatening receivers like Keon Coleman, Dawson Knox, and Dalton Kincaid. Allen’s MVP-caliber ability to elevate teammates and improvise with his legs was highlighted, exemplified by his game-winning touchdown run against the Chiefs in Week 11 when receivers failed to get open. In contrast, during the AFC Championship Game, Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo confidently blitzed with top cornerback Trent McDuffie on a critical fourth down. Allen nearly completed a spectacular play, but Kincaid dropped the pass. The article concludes that Buffalo’s capacity to create separation against Kansas City’s defense will be pivotal in determining the AFC’s Super Bowl representative.

Patriots WR Stefon Diggs shares honest take on Josh McDaniels' offense
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is intensively studying the team's playbook under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as he prepares for his debut season with the franchise. Despite being a limited participant in mandatory minicamp due to ongoing rehabilitation from an ACL injury sustained last season with the Houston Texans, Diggs is prioritizing mental preparation to ensure a smooth transition. Diggs emphasized in a YouTube video that his focus extends beyond memorizing his own assignments, stating he must immediately recognize route concepts and understand every player's role within plays. "I need to know what everybody got around me—how I'm going to get open or get somebody else open," he explained, highlighting his comprehensive approach to learning the offense ahead of his physical return. Projected as the Patriots' top receiver, Diggs will lead a young receiving corps featuring unproven talents like rookie Kyle Williams and third-year players Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte. This role requires him to contribute significantly on the field while serving as a locker room mentor, a responsibility the four-time Pro Bowler is reportedly embracing effectively in early preparations.

Liverpool’s new Adidas home kit up close after spotted on sale early
Liverpool's new Adidas home kit for the 2025/26 season, set for official unveiling on August 1st, has appeared for sale early in Taiwan. This marks Liverpool's return to Adidas after five years with Nike. The home kit design, reminiscent of the 2006/07 season, features a white trim around the body and cuffed sleeves, along with traditional Adidas stripes across the shoulders. It includes an embroidered Liverpool badge and Adidas logo, plus the Standard Chartered sponsorship – all in white – while the collar and sleeve cuffs are red and white. Some observers note its design bears similarity to Manchester United kits. While the retail price is not yet confirmed, it is anticipated to be around £85 or £120 based on Adidas's pricing for Arsenal kits. The delayed launch of the Adidas reunion is attributed to the pandemic extending the 2019/20 season, which pushed back the start date of Nike's previous contract. Consequently, the Liverpool squad is currently wearing last season's Nike kits for friendlies. The first official appearance of the new Adidas kit will be in the double-header against Athletic Club at Anfield on August 4th.

Report Rongier offered to Juventus by Olympique Marseille
Transfer expert Matteo Moretto reported that Juventus were presented with the opportunity to sign midfielder Valentin Rongier from Olympique Marseille. This information was shared on the YouTube channel of Moretto's colleague, Fabrizio Romano. Rongier's name came up during discussions between Juventus and Marseille concerning other potential transfers, specifically Leonardo Balerdi. However, the report clarifies that Marseille offered Rongier to Juventus, rather than the Italian club actively pursuing or showing significant interest in the player. Juventus's lack of strong interest is attributed to several factors. Rongier, a defensive midfielder, turns 31 years old later this year. Furthermore, his current contract with Marseille is set to expire in June 2026. Marseille is reportedly eager to sell him during this transfer window to avoid losing him on a free transfer next summer. Adding to the complications, Rongier is currently recovering from a groin injury sustained in May, which raises concerns about his readiness for the upcoming pre-season. Considering his age, contract situation, current injury, and Juventus's existing roster of players prone to injuries, the report concludes that it is unlikely Juventus will pursue a deal for Rongier.

Don Garber: 2025 FIFA Club World Cup "an incredible success"
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, featuring 32 teams from six confederations playing 63 matches across 12 US stadiums with a $1 billion prize pool, achieved unprecedented success according to MLS Commissioner Don Garber. He described it as an "incredible success" and a "defining moment" for soccer in North America, praising FIFA's execution of Gianni Infantino's vision. Three MLS teams participated: Inter Miami CF, LAFC, and Seattle Sounders FC. Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, became the first MLS club to reach the knockout rounds after going undefeated in Group A. Their 2-1 victory over FC Porto also marked the first time a North American club defeated a European team in an official competition. While Seattle and LAFC did not advance, they impressed in matches against top clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea FC. Commissioner Garber highlighted the significance of MLS teams competing against global elite clubs, stating it allows fans to measure MLS progress and raises the league's profile internationally. He emphasized that these matches show MLS teams "belong in the global soccer conversation". The tournament also served as a successful preview for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the US, Mexico, and Canada will co-host. Garber believes the Club World Cup proved North America can be the "global epicenter for soccer" and expressed confidence that the region will rise to the occasion for the expanded 48-team World Cup, calling it the "perfect lead-in". Garber expressed a desire for the Club World Cup to return to the United States in the future, calling the 2025 event a "huge moment" for soccer in the country and specifically for MLS with three teams competing.

The Raiders Need This Player to Take the Next Step
The Las Vegas Raiders are optimistic that their offseason changes will lead to improvement in the upcoming season, with the return of players like defensive end Malcolm Koonce, who missed the entire 2024 season due to injury, being crucial to their success. Ryan Smith of Pro Football Focus identified Koonce as one of five players expected to have a bounce-back season in 2025, noting that Koonce suffered a torn ACL just three days before the 2024 season opener. His absence significantly impacted the Raiders, who finished 27th in the NFL in pass-rush grade at 64.1. Koonce, a former third-round pick from Buffalo, saw limited playing time in his first two seasons (2021 and 2022), totaling only 116 snaps combined. However, he broke out in 2023, earning an 81.3 PFF grade that ranked 22nd among edge defenders, and was particularly effective in the second half with 38 pressures and eight sacks. Smith emphasized that if Koonce and fellow defensive lineman Christian Wilkins, who also missed most of last season, return to full health, the Raiders' defensive line could become one of the league's most improved units in 2025. Raiders star Maxx Crosby expressed strong excitement about Koonce's return, praising him as one of the best teammates he's ever had. Crosby highlighted Koonce's dedication, humility, and work ethic, comparing him to teammate Brock Bowers in his quiet, focused approach, and stated that Koonce's presence greatly enhances the team's chances of success.

ROSSONERE, THE 2025/26 SEASON HAS BEGUN
The AC Milan Women's team commenced preparations for the 2025/26 season on Monday, 7th July, gathering at the PUMA House of Football for pre-season medical tests. They were welcomed by CEO Giorgio Furlani, Head of Women's Football Elisabet Spina, and manager Suzanne Bakker with her staff. CEO Giorgio Furlani's presence underscored the club's commitment and the strategic importance of the women's project within AC Milan's vision to promote women's football nationally and internationally. During the gathering, midfielder Christy Grimshaw was awarded for becoming the third player (and first foreign player) in AC Milan Women's history to reach 100 official appearances, achieving this milestone on April 26th. The official season starts at the end of August with a match against Sassuolo in the new Women's Cup 2025/26, where AC Milan will also face Roma and Ternana. To prepare, the team will play several friendlies in Italy and abroad. The first friendly is a three-way contest against Nuremberg and Zurigo in Dübendorf on Saturday, 26th July. Another significant friendly is against Rangers on 2nd August (live on the AC Milan Official App), followed by a match against reigning Women's Super League champions Chelsea in London on 30th August. Several players (Giuliani, Piga, Koivisto, Mesjasz, Nadim) were absent due to EUROs commitments. However, new signings were present: Dutch players Kay-Lee de Sanders and Milicia Keijzer, along with Spaniard Sandra Estévez Ogalla.

Arsenal in danger of losing top striker target to Al-Hilal
Arsenal's lack of a consistently fit and prolific center-forward last season is seen as a key reason they finished second in the Premier League, unable to challenge champions Liverpool. This marked their third consecutive runners-up finish, prompting mockery from Liverpool fans towards manager Mikel Arteta. While the Gunners have strikers Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, neither is considered a reliable source of 20+ goals per season and both are injury-prone, necessitating a new striker signing this summer. One primary target, Benjamin Šeško of RB Leipzig, is reportedly attracting interest from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. Al-Hilal, having been rejected twice by Victor Osimhen and also considering Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta, are now pursuing the 22-year-old Slovenian striker. Šeško is highly rated, having scored 10+ Bundesliga goals in each of his last three seasons with Leipzig, following a carefully managed career path through Red Bull Salzburg and a loan at FC Liefering. Despite Al-Hilal's interest and financial capability (noting Šeško's contract runs until 2029), the article argues that Šeško's logical next career step should be a move to a top European club. Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Real Madrid have all been linked with him, and testing himself at the highest level in Europe is presented as preferable to moving to Saudi Arabia, despite Al-Hilal's respectable Club World Cup performance (drawing with Real Madrid and knocking out Manchester City before losing to Fluminense). Arsenal's pursuit of other striker options faces challenges. Talks to sign Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon have reportedly stalled, endangering the deal. Alternative targets include Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins (though he is Villa's only striker) and Newcastle's Alexander Isak (who would be expensive). Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović is also mentioned as a potential fit, but Arsenal would face competition from Manchester United for his signature.

Inside Josh Allen’s $8.5M California bachelor pad — now for sale weeks after marrying Hailee Steinfeld
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has listed his Southern California home for $8.5 million, roughly a month after marrying actress Hailee Steinfeld in Montecito. The couple appears to be streamlining their real estate as they settle into married life. Allen purchased the four-bedroom, three-bathroom Dana Point property in 2023 for $7.2 million through a trust and used it during offseasons. Located within the guard-gated Monarch Bay enclave, the 2,808-square-foot home is near luxury resorts and offers private beach club access. Listed on July 3 and described as "classic mid-century California architecture," the home sits on a large lot. It features a black-and-white exterior, a gated entry leading to an expansive living area with floor-to-ceiling glass and a fireplace, a formal dining area, a modern kitchen, and a primary suite with a sitting area and outdoor access. Three bedrooms have ensuite baths opening to patios. The nearly 12,000-square-foot lot backs onto a private park and is presented as ideal for a resort-style backyard. While Allen primarily resides near Buffalo during the season, owning a larger custom estate with a pool and sports court on land bought for $500,000 in Orchard Park, NY, he maintains California ties. Steinfeld owns a separate $7.98 million, 9,000-square-foot estate in Encino, purchased in 2021. The couple may be looking for a new shared residence in Malibu, where Allen proposed.

When will Cooper Kupp return to LA for his 1st game against the Rams?
The Los Angeles Rams released star receiver Cooper Kupp in March, making him a free agent. Kupp subsequently signed with the Seattle Seahawks, joining one of the Rams' biggest rivals and returning to his home region in the Pacific Northwest. Kupp will face his former team twice during the 2025 NFL season. His first game against the Rams will occur in Week 11 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with a scheduled kickoff time of 4:05 p.m. ET on FOX. The second matchup will take place in Week 16 when the Rams visit the Seahawks in Seattle. This game is scheduled as a prime-time Thursday Night Football contest. Given Kupp's significant contributions to the Rams, including playing a pivotal role in their 2021 Super Bowl victory, he is expected to receive a warm welcome from Los Angeles fans during his return.
