TOPDarren Fletcher appointed Man Utd Under-18s lead coach
Manchester United have appointed Darren Fletcher as the lead coach of their Under-18s team, effective immediately. Fletcher, who returned to the club in 2021, spent 20 years at United as a player, making over 340 appearances after graduating from the Academy. During his playing career, he won five Premier League titles, two League Cups, the FA Cup, the Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup. Fletcher has already begun his new role, taking charge of the Under-18s' pre-season preparations. This started with a training camp at the adidas global headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany, and included a friendly match against Queens Park Rangers at Carrington. Expressing his enthusiasm, Fletcher stated: "I am really excited to take on this new role and increase my responsibility to directly develop our young players. I’m looking forward to working with such a talented age-group; supporting them to reach their potential and preparing them to enjoy careers at the highest level possible." Director of football, Jason Wilcox, endorsed the appointment: "We are delighted that Darren will lead our Under-18s group. He knows exactly what it takes to be a successful Academy graduate and has played a key role in shaping the pathway for so many of our young players in recent years. Darren’s excellent relationships across the entire staff will only increase the strong connection between the Academy and first team, further enhancing our ability to produce world-class players ready to excel at Manchester United." Fletcher will also feature in an upcoming "Lifeblood" short film from MUTV Originals, documenting a ceremony where new academy scholars received their traditional club suits. At the event, he passionately shared his experiences as a player and the privilege of representing United at Academy level.

Darwin Nunez ‘still waiting’ for Napoli move – Latest Liverpool FC News
Darwin Núñez is reportedly still hoping to move from Liverpool to Napoli this summer, but negotiations for the transfer are proving difficult to finalize. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano states that Napoli remains Núñez's preferred destination, but the Serie A champions are stalling on making a decision. Romano emphasizes that while Núñez continues to wait for Napoli, he has significant offers from Saudi Arabia and cannot wait indefinitely. Despite the expectation that Núñez will leave Liverpool before September, his departure has not yet been secured. Uncertainty persists regarding Ibrahima Konaté's future at Liverpool, with reports from Spain suggesting interest from Real Madrid. Harvey Elliott is attracting transfer interest, with West Ham United reportedly optimistic about signing him, and a move away from Liverpool appears likely. Despite competition for places at left-back, Kostas Tsimikas has indicated his intention to remain at Liverpool for the upcoming season. Nottingham Forest have reportedly joined the race to sign Liverpool winger Ben Doak, with Liverpool valuing the player at a minimum of £25 million.

Bundesliga clubs enquire about Leicester City’s Wilfried Ndidi
Bundesliga clubs are reportedly monitoring Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi, according to Florian Plettenberg. Although no specific clubs are named, Leicester, relegated to the Championship, is commanding a transfer fee of €15 million for the player. The 28-year-old Nigerian defensive midfielder joined Leicester from KRC Genk in January 2017 for €17.6 million. He made 220 Premier League appearances for the club and also featured in four Champions League matches following Leicester's 2016 Premier League title win. Ndidi's market value peaked at €60 million but has since declined to €16 million. Ndidi's contract with Leicester City runs until 2027, suggesting the club should be able to recoup a figure close to their original €17.6 million investment. While no specific interested club is identified, the report mentions Borussia Dortmund manager Niko Kovac's desire to strengthen the defensive midfield (No. 6) position. However, it notes that Dortmund's club bosses currently prioritize strengthening the wide areas following Jamie Bynoe-Gittens' departure and Julien Duranville's injury, making Dortmund's move for Ndidi difficult to speculate on.

Beloved former Ravens draft pick without a job deserves a training camp invite
The Baltimore Ravens have a strong history of drafting impactful players, including those who become key starters. Outside linebacker Tyus Bowser exemplified this, drafted 47th overall in 2017. While it took time to develop, he broke out in 2021, starting all 17 games and leading the Ravens with seven sacks. This performance earned Bowser a four-year, $22 million contract extension. However, a torn Achilles prematurely ended his 2022 season, and a subsequent knee injury forced him to miss the entire 2023 season. These injuries effectively ended his Ravens career, which concluded with a withdrawn grievance against the team over injury handling, despite his popularity with fans. Following his release, Bowser had unsuccessful stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Miami Dolphins, failing to regain his pre-injury form. Entering 2025, the 30-year-old remains a free agent, seeking another opportunity to prove himself in training camp. Two potential landing spots are identified: The Washington Commanders, who desperately need pass-rush help beyond their top sack leader Frankie Luvu, could benefit from Bowser's versatility in pass rush, run defense, and coverage, potentially fitting well under defensive coach Dan Quinn. The New Orleans Saints also lack reliable edge depth behind Carl Granderson and Chase Young, making Bowser a potential rotational option at outside linebacker to bolster their pass rush. The article concludes that despite recent struggles and limited playing time, Bowser deserves a final chance to showcase his talents given the league's need for pass rushers.

Rams' Heroic Efforts Defeated NFL's Newly Named Superheroes
Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports compiled a list of NFL players resembling Superman in honor of the new movie. The Los Angeles Rams performed remarkably well against the players featured on this list, demonstrating their strength as a unit. While the Rams lost twice to the Philadelphia Eagles and Jalen Hurts (tied for fifth on the list), they held Hurts to just over 300 total passing yards across those games. The Rams gave Hurts his toughest postseason challenge. Saquon Barkley was key for the Eagles in those wins but was not named to the list. Justin Jefferson ranked fourth on the list, praised for his burst, positivity, ease in finding open space, infectious joy, and Hall of Fame-level resume despite injuries. The Rams defense, composed largely of rookies, second-year players, vagabonds, undrafted free agents, and undervalued talents, formed the foundation of their second-half push against Jefferson and the Vikings. After Jefferson torched them early in their first meeting, the Rams defense held Minnesota to only two field goals after the first quarter. In their playoff rematch, the Rams dominated, limiting Jefferson to five receptions for 58 yards. Reigning MVP Josh Allen ranked second, noted for his Superman-like uniform, soaring MVP-level play, dual-threat ability, and never-say-die theatrics. Despite Allen playing what was described as the best game of his life against the Rams, racking up over 400 total yards and six touchdowns, the Rams won the high-scoring affair 44-42. This game was highlighted as a prime example quarterback Matthew Stafford could use to justify requesting more guaranteed money, as he went 23-30 for 320 yards and two touchdowns against the "NFL's superheroes".

USWNT star, NWSL champion Tobin Heath announces retirement
Tobin Heath, a star of the U.S. women's national team and the NWSL, officially announced her retirement from professional soccer on Thursday via "The RE-CAP Show," a podcast she co-hosts with former teammate Christen Press. Heath revealed that she reached full acceptance over the New Year's period that her playing career was over, a process she described as taking two to three years. Known for her creativity, elite technical skill, and intense study of the game, Heath delighted fans for over a decade with signature moves like tricky nutmegs, sneaky jukes, joyful juggling, slick dribbles, and clever passes. Her career was ultimately cut short by a serious knee injury in 2022, requiring multiple surgeries and proving career-ending. Her final appearance for the U.S. national team was on October 26, 2021, and her last NWSL match was on August 14, 2022, for Seattle Reign (OL Reign). Despite battling injuries throughout her career, Heath earned 181 caps for the U.S. senior national team across 13 years, scoring 36 goals and providing 42 assists. Her illustrious international career included winning two FIFA Women's World Cups (2015, 2019) and three Olympic medals (gold in 2008 and 2012, bronze in 2020/21). Heath began her professional career after being selected first overall by the Atlanta Beat in the 2010 WPS College Draft, following a highly successful collegiate tenure at the University of North Carolina where she won four consecutive ACC titles and three NCAA National Championships. In the NWSL, she won multiple Championships and Shields: two NWSL championships with the Portland Thorns (2013, 2017) – earning the 2013 Championship MVP for a game-winning free-kick goal – and two NWSL Shields (Portland 2016, Seattle Reign 2022). She recorded 75 NWSL appearances, 13 goals, and 24 assists between 2013 and 2022.

Real Madrid are counting on Kylian Mbappe more than Vinicius Junior
Real Madrid concluded a trophyless 2024-25 season with a defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup, sparking analysis of the reasons behind their disappointing campaign. A prominent issue identified is the perceived lack of compatibility between star forwards Kylian Mbappé, who joined from PSG last summer, and Vinícius Junior. The article highlights concerns over the pair's lack of effort, citing the Club World Cup as a recent example, and notes rising tensions, particularly from Vinícius' side. Adding to the situation, Vinícius has reportedly paused contract negotiations with Real Madrid, raising concerns about his future at the club despite his current deal expiring in 2027, with the possibility of a departure emerging. Furthermore, reports indicate that Real Madrid, specifically club president Florentino Pérez, would favor retaining Mbappé over Vinícius if a choice had to be made. Pérez's long-standing pursuit of the French international is cited as a likely reason for this stance. Looking ahead to next season, manager Xabi Alonso faces the challenge of finding an effective balance. While there is a chance he might opt to start only one of the two forwards, his preference is to play both Mbappé and Vinícius together, acknowledging their world-class abilities. The key challenge remains ensuring they can perform effectively as a duo.

Stefon Diggs’ surprising message shows why Patriots made the right gamble
The New England Patriots, needing a clear top wide receiver (WR1) after another offensive disappointment, found the 2025 free agent receiver class underwhelming. Despite missing out on other trade targets, they acquired Stefon Diggs, a move initially questioned by local media and fans due to his season-ending 2024 ACL injury and past issues leading to departures from previous teams. So far, Diggs' time with the Patriots has been mostly positive, aside from an earlier "boat incident" that made headlines. The new coaching staff has praised him, and Diggs himself has addressed his mindset publicly through a series of YouTube videos documenting his offseason. In one video filmed in Europe, he recounted his journey as a fifth-round draft pick who fought for his opportunity and emphasized his gratitude for this new chance with the Patriots. Diggs explicitly stated his determined mindset: "There is no second chances... You gotta take advantage of the right now," highlighting the strong competitive chip on his shoulder that aligns with the Patriots' appreciation for highly motivated players. He stressed taking advantage of the opportunity New England is giving him, which is encouraging for the team given he wasn't heavily pursued in free agency, likely because of his injury. Although unable to participate much in spring practices, Diggs' extensive off-site training has put him significantly ahead in his ACL rehabilitation, leading many to believe he could be ready for Week 1. While his Week 1 availability would be ideal for quarterback Drake Maye and the offense, the key takeaway is that Diggs is entering his Patriots tenure with the right motivated mindset, which the team hopes will dispel any lingering doubts.

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.

Eagles 2025 training camp preview: Interior defensive line
The article previews the Philadelphia Eagles' interior defensive linemen heading into training camp, focusing primarily on Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis. Jalen Carter, despite lacking eye-popping statistics, was a dominant force on the interior defensive line throughout the season, constantly facing double teams. His performance earned him his first Pro Bowl selection and All-Pro honors. He made critical plays in the Divisional Round playoff game against the Rams, sacking Matthew Stafford on third down and forcing an off-target throw on fourth down to save the Eagles' season. Carter was also a major factor in the Eagles' defensive line overwhelming the Chiefs' offensive line in the Super Bowl, often occupying their two best linemen and creating favorable one-on-one matchups for teammates. Carter addressed conditioning concerns from his rookie season by playing the most snaps among all interior defensive linemen in the NFL during the 2024 season (1,068 snaps). His heavy workload and the constant attention he draws from opposing offenses make him indispensable to the Eagles' defense; the team is considered vulnerable if he gets injured. Carter is entering his third NFL season and will be eligible for a contract extension afterwards. The article states that if he continues his trajectory as a budding superstar, he will command a significant, well-deserved contract that will impact the Eagles' salary cap. Regarding Jordan Davis, the article notes that he played 445 snaps (including playoffs) during the 2024 season, averaging 21.2 snaps per game. This ranked him as the fourth-most utilized interior defensive lineman on the Eagles' roster for that season.

Why the 49ers should be back in the Super Bowl mix in 2025
NFL training camps bring renewed optimism across the league, including for the San Francisco 49ers despite their disappointing 6-11 record in 2024. While national media expresses skepticism due to the loss of key players and an aging core roster, the team itself believes it can bounce back and compete for a sixth Super Bowl. Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox highlights reasons for optimism for every NFL team, suggesting the 49ers could gear up for another Super Bowl run. He attributes their 2024 decline significantly to injuries to stars like Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey, and Trent Williams, but also points to fatigue as a major factor. Playing deep into the playoffs in both 2022 (reaching the NFC Championship) and 2023 (losing the Super Bowl in overtime to the Chiefs) meant the team played roughly two-and-a-half seasons' worth of games over those two years. Players admitted to exhaustion and emotional toll from the Super Bowl loss, especially those who also lost the 2019 Super Bowl to the Chiefs. Knox notes that the 2025 offseason has provided crucial time for the 49ers to get healthy and rest. Key players like McCaffrey and Williams should be ready for the season start. Furthermore, the team focused on defense in the draft (their first five selections were defenders), aiming to replenish a unit that ranked 29th in points allowed last season. A critical move was bringing back former defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. Saleh, returning after his stint as New York Jets head coach, is seen as a significant upgrade over Nick Sorensen. Saleh brings unmatched enthusiasm, intensity, greater coaching experience, and new defensive schemes. His return alone is expected to improve a defense whose most glaring 2024 weakness was run defense. Combined with the influx of younger, faster defensive talent through the draft, the 49ers anticipate a hungrier and improved defense in 2025. While the offense faces challenges, particularly with Brandon Aiyuk (torn ACL, MCL) likely missing regular-season time, the core remains strong. Knox concludes that if the rest of the offense stays healthy while the defense rebounds, the 49ers should be back in Super Bowl contention. He points to the team's history of bouncing back, specifically referencing how they followed an injury-plagued 6-10 season in 2020 with an NFC Championship Game appearance in 2021, suggesting they can do it again.

Al Davis Would Be Proud of the Raiders' Progress
The Las Vegas Raiders' storied history is deeply tied to the late Al Davis, whose impact on the franchise and the NFL remains significant decades later. Though instrumental in building the Raiders' legacy, Al Davis never envisioned Las Vegas as the team's eventual home. On what would have been his father's 96th birthday, Raiders owner Mark Davis shared fond memories, particularly of their times in Las Vegas before training camp. He recalled Al Davis loving the city, the sun, and bringing his own weights to work out since hotel gyms weren't common then. Al and his wife would enjoy dinners and shows, with Mark noting his father was treated very well by the people. Mark reflected on Las Vegas transforming from the "entertainment capital of the world" to the "sports and entertainment capital," and the Raiders being part of that evolution across two different eras. Years after his death, Al Davis continues to command immense respect from figures across the league. Colorado Buffaloes Head Coach Deion Sanders recently praised Davis as a "legend," describing him as someone opposing players wanted to approach just to shake his hand and admire his style ("drip"). Sanders called Davis "one of a kind," a "straight-shooter," "innovative," "creative," and "before his time," stating that every player during that era wanted to be a Raider in some form, including himself.

'Stunning' Cowboys Cheerleader Has Everyone's Attention At Beach Today
A Dallas Cowboys cheerleader named Kylie Dickson garnered significant attention at the beach on Wednesday. Described as "stunning," she turned heads with her outfit during the afternoon outing. Dickson, identified as a veteran member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, is preparing for the upcoming 2025 NFL regular season. This follows a disappointing 2024 season for the Cowboys, who are aiming for a bounceback year and are scheduled to open their 2025 campaign against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the season's first NFL game. The cheerleader shared images of her beach look on Instagram, where she is one of the most followed members of the squad. The post, captioned "happier in little summer outfits 🍓☀️," quickly went viral. Her "sizzling" beach outfits attracted widespread notice and enthusiastic reactions from NFL fans online, including comments like "Angel on earth 👼🏼✨" and "So pretty."

ESPN's most 'disliked' offseason move for Jaguars has instead impressed Coen, Lawrence
Seth Walder of ESPN assigned offseason grades to NFL teams and expressed strong skepticism about the Jacksonville Jaguars' signing of wide receiver Dyami Brown in free agency. Walder "disliked" the move, citing Brown's limited career production (784 receiving yards over four seasons) and questioning whether his standout 2024 playoff performance (229 yards) was an outlier rather than indicative of future performance. Despite Walder's doubts, early signs in the Jaguars' offseason program suggest the signing is benefiting their offense. The team's perspective, highlighted by GM James Gladstone in March, is that Brown is an ascending player whose untapped potential will be unlocked playing in offensive coordinator Liam Coen's system. Brown has earned significant praise from quarterback Trevor Lawrence during OTAs and minicamp. Lawrence specifically lauded Brown's speed, ability to stretch the field vertically, football intelligence, quick grasp of the offensive system, and consistent positioning, noting Brown frequently gets open and receives the ball in practice. Brown's speed adds a new dimension to the Jaguars' offense, allowing them to threaten defenses deep or utilize him on quick passes near the line of scrimmage to capitalize on his yards-after-catch ability. Furthermore, Coen has noted Brown's effectiveness on intermediate routes, meaning he can impact all three levels of the field and attack defenses in multiple ways.

NFL offseason power rankings: No. 15 Chicago Bears hire Ben Johnson to change their history
The news piece discusses the Chicago Bears' longstanding struggles at the quarterback position and the situation surrounding Caleb Williams. It begins by referencing Carl Williams' controversial statement that "Chicago is the place quarterbacks go to die," highlighting the franchise's history of failing to develop successful passers, with no All-Pro QB since 1950. Caleb Williams' rookie season in 2023 was hampered by a poor offensive line and coaching, reinforcing concerns. However, the Bears responded by making significant organizational changes. They hired highly-regarded offensive coordinator Ben Johnson from the Detroit Lions, revamped the offensive line, and drafted tight end Colston Loveland and receiver Luther Burden III to build a stronger supporting cast around Williams. The article emphasizes that despite being an original NFL franchise, the Bears are the only team never to have a 4,000-yard passer or a 30-touchdown season. Their quarterback history since 1963 includes only two Pro Bowl appearances (Jim McMahon in 1985 and Mitchell Trubisky as a replacement in 2018), and they've won only six playoff games since their 1985 Super Bowl victory, underscoring the franchise's dysfunction. While Williams showed flashes of potential as a rookie, such as nearly leading a comeback in Detroit, he also struggled, holding the ball too long and leading the NFL with 68 sacks taken. His solid but unspectacular rookie year (3,541 passing yards) was further overshadowed by the immediate success of the draft's number two pick, Jayden Daniels. The piece concludes by questioning whether the combination of coach Ben Johnson, an improved offensive line, talented pass catchers, and Williams himself can finally break the Bears' quarterback curse and achieve that elusive 4,000-yard passing season, suggesting the franchise might be doomed at the position if they cannot succeed with this setup.

Source: Smith set for world-record Arsenal transfer
Arsenal is poised to make Olivia Smith the first women's footballer to command a £1 million ($1.4 million) transfer fee, according to an ESPN source. The 20-year-old Canada international would set a world record transfer upon her move from Liverpool, surpassing the previous $1.1 million record set by Chelsea's signing of Naomi Girma in January. The deal remains subject to personal terms agreement, but Arsenal appears to have secured the highly sought-after forward after Liverpool rejected prior offers from both Chelsea and Lyon. Liverpool had turned down bids from these clubs before accepting Arsenal's record-breaking proposal. This acquisition aligns with Arsenal's strategy to strengthen their squad following their Champions League victory while simultaneously reducing the team's average age. Smith, who joined Liverpool from Sporting CP last summer, earned Liverpool's 2024-25 Player of the Year honors after scoring nine goals across all competitions. Should the transfer be finalized, Smith would become the second Liverpool player to join Arsenal this week, following Taylor Hinds' free transfer to the north London club.

England Midfielder Jordan Henderson Leaves Ajax After Asking to End Contract
England midfielder Jordan Henderson has left Ajax after the club agreed to terminate his contract early. Henderson had one year remaining on his deal, but Ajax stated on Thursday that it cooperated with the player's request to end the contract. Henderson thanked Ajax and the people of Amsterdam in a club statement but did not specify his reasons for leaving or his future plans. He indicated that the recent death of his former Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota and Jota's brother in a car accident influenced his decision to issue only a brief statement at this time. Henderson stated he fully intends to give the club, teammates, and supporters a more personal thank you when it feels more appropriate. One potential future option mentioned for Henderson is a return to his hometown club Sunderland, where he began his career before joining Liverpool in 2011. Sunderland has been promoted back to the Premier League for next season. Henderson joined Ajax in January 2024 following an unsuccessful six-month spell with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq. Prior to that, he spent 12 years at Liverpool, winning the Premier League and Champions League. The 35-year-old captained Ajax this season, but the team fell short of winning the Dutch league title after a late collapse saw them overtaken by PSV Eindhoven. Henderson has earned 84 caps for England and returned to the national team squad this year under new coach Thomas Tuchel.

Raiders hope Devin White can get back to Pro Bowl level, make impact
Devin White, linebacker for the Las Vegas Raiders, expresses confidence in his career accomplishments despite recent setbacks. He dismisses concerns about others forgetting his contributions to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl LV win and his 2021 Pro Bowl selection. While acknowledging shaky recent seasons, including a decline in tackles and limited playing time with the Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans after leaving Tampa Bay, the 27-year-old White believes he still has much to offer. He states he doesn't need external approval but hopes his time with the Raiders reminds people of his abilities, both as a locker room leader and a Pro Bowl-caliber performer, emphasizing he still has goals to achieve. The Raiders signed White to a one-year deal as part of a significant offseason overhaul of their linebacker room, following the free agency departures of Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo. White joined Elandon Roberts and Germaine Pratt as new additions. Linebackers coach John Glenn acknowledged losing key players but viewed it as an opportunity for new faces and fresh starts. White cited his relationship with Raiders general manager John Spytek as the primary reason for signing with Las Vegas. Their connection dates back to their time together with the Buccaneers, where Spytek (then Tampa Bay's director of player personnel) had dinner with White and visited him in Baton Rouge before the 2019 NFL Draft. White described their bond as genuine, noting Spytek's children used to wear his jersey. White was drafted 5th overall by Tampa Bay, accumulating 566 tackles, 23 sacks, and 21 passes defended in 76 games. This established relationship led White to make the Raiders his first free-agent visit of the offseason. He was drawn to head coach Antonio Pierce's authenticity and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham's plans for utilizing him on the field. White was also receptive to the challenge of helping Pierce and Spytek reverse the Raiders' fortunes after three consecutive losing seasons.

Sophia Wilson, Trinity Rodman headline NWSL’s class of free agents - The Athletic
NWSL free agency has commenced, with notable players potentially moving in 2026. The league released its list of eligible players, headlined by Portland Thorns' Sophia Smith and Washington Spirit's Trinity Rodman. Other prominent free agents include Gotham's Midge Purce, Kansas City Current's Lo’Eau LaBonta, and North Carolina Courage's Casey Murphy. This free agency period is expected to be chaotic due to two expansion teams—Boston Legacy and an unnamed Denver franchise—actively building rosters for their inaugural 2025 seasons. Smith and Rodman comprise two-thirds of the USWNT's "Triple Espresso" attacking trio that won Olympic gold in Paris. Smith is currently absent from play due to pregnancy, while Rodman is returning from a back injury that sidelined her since April. The Washington Spirit have publicly emphasized their desire to retain Rodman, with owner Michele Kang calling it "important" amid speculation about a potential move to Europe. Rodman joined the Spirit as the second pick in the 2021 NWSL Draft and signed a reported $1.1 million extension in 2022, making her the league's highest-paid player at the time. Her three-year contract included an option for 2025. Smith, who announced her pregnancy in March, boasts an extensive NWSL record including 2022 MVP honors during Portland's championship season, the 2023 Golden Boot with 11 goals, and being the sole American finalist for the 2023 Ballon d’Or Feminin. She scored 12 goals in 20 matches during 2024. Though currently inactive, her contract extends through 2025 with a player option for 2026. The Colorado native would be a strategic target for the Denver expansion team given their focus on local connections. Players with contracts expiring after the 2025 season became free agents and can now negotiate with current or new clubs. Teams have been finalizing rosters, exemplified by Gotham's recent departures: Portuguese forward Jess Silva (agreed to a six-month winter contract elsewhere), defender Emerson Elgin, and goalkeeper Tyler McCamey.

Hayato Inamura departs airport in Japan on his way to Paradise
The 21-year-old footballer Hayato Inamura posted a farewell message on social media featuring the words "La Familia – With these words, I set off into the world," expressing gratitude towards his former club where "La Familia" signifies the close bond. Celtic fans interpret this as a sign he is ready to join their club, often referred to similarly. Inamura is a left-footed central defender who typically plays as the left-sided centre-back in a back four. His mobility and technical ability also allow him to play at left-back, a versatility valued by Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers. Standing around 6ft tall, the Japan U21 international is comfortable on the ball, reads the game well, and is praised in the J1 League for his composure under pressure and progressive passing. His recovery pace and positional discipline are seen as particularly valuable for Celtic's high defensive line. This potential signing aligns with the club's long-term model, especially for future European campaigns. Reports indicate Inamura is traveling to the UK for a medical and could be unveiled soon as Celtic's fifth summer signing, following the arrivals of Kieran Tierney, Benjamin Nygren, Callum Osmand, and Ross Doohan. While not yet a household name among Celtic supporters, Inamura is described as a player of immense promise and humility. If the transfer is finalized, he could be presented at Celtic Park before the week ends.

What Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp likes about his new OC
The Seattle Seahawks offense features significant changes, including new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and recently signed receiver Cooper Kupp. Kupp, speaking on Seattle Sports, expressed strong enthusiasm for Kubiak's approach, praising his intelligence, the intention behind the offense, and particularly his humility. Kupp highlighted Kubiak's collaborative style, stating the offense is "our thing and we’re going to do it together," inviting player ownership. Kupp is also optimistic about the Seahawks' revamped receiver group. Following the trade of DK Metcalf and release of Tyler Lockett, the unit is now led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba (coming off a breakout season) and includes Kupp and veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The rest of the group consists of younger, less experienced players like Jake Bobo (entering third season), Dareke Young (entering fourth season), and rookies Tory Horton and Ricky White III. Despite the group's youth and relative inexperience leading to questions, Kupp sees significant potential in the receivers and currently has little doubt.
