TOPPuka Nacua Opens Up on Relationship With New Rams Teammate Davante Adams

The Los Angeles Rams made significant changes to their receiving corps this offseason, releasing veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp and acquiring three-time All-Pro Davante Adams. Third-year Rams receiver Puka Nacua, who had developed a strong bond and benefited from Kupp's mentorship over the past two seasons, expressed excitement about now getting the chance to learn from Adams. Nacua described Adams as "fantastic" since arriving at the facility and feels incredibly fortunate to learn from another "all-time great," comparing the experience to being "a kid in the candy store." He highlighted the exceptional quarterbacks and coaches he's worked with, stating, "My life is pretty good, I can't complain too much." Specifically, Nacua emphasized learning intricate route-running details from Adams, widely regarded as a top route-runner. He praised Adams' "ability to change pace while he's moving on the football field," his skill at "win[ning] against negative leverage," and his "suddenness at the line of scrimmage." Nacua stated that lining up next to Adams motivates him to perform at his best ("have all the gas turned on"). Nacua enters the season after two strong years to start his career, while Adams joins the Rams following five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. With Matthew Stafford at quarterback, the pairing of Nacua and Adams is anticipated to form one of the league's best receiving tandems, bolstering the Rams' pursuit of another Super Bowl championship.

TOPFormer NFL champ Roger Shoals dead at 86

Roger Shoals, a former NFL offensive tackle and 1964 champion with the Cleveland Browns, died Monday at age 86. He played nine NFL seasons, spending his first two years with Cleveland, followed by seven with the Detroit Lions and one with the Denver Broncos. Selected by the Browns in the 16th round of the 1961 NFL Draft after playing college football at Maryland, Shoals was also chosen by the Dallas Texans in the 1962 AFL Draft but signed with Cleveland. His career began in 1963, and he won an NFL championship the following season—a victory he later described as "heaven," noting he wore his championship ring constantly despite curious onlookers. Standing 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, Shoals started 70 of his 104 career NFL games, including every contest in his final four seasons. He notably served as a key blocker for Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown during his tenure with the Browns. Post-retirement, Shoals was known for his "affable," "engaging," and "candid" personality, frequently speaking at banquets. He later lived in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, working as vice president of sales at Gould Paper Corp. and co-owning a Pennsylvania car dealership. Tributes highlighted his "big caring heart" and relentless "spirit for hard work and success," with friends recalling how he mentored loved ones through life's challenges. Shoals is survived by his wife Jean, children Mike and Hollie, four grandchildren, two brothers, and a sister.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Quarter Century Team: Quarterbacks and Running Backs
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first 25 years of the 21st century represent their most successful period, transforming the franchise from its historically painful past into one of the NFL's more respected teams, highlighted by two Super Bowl victories. Starting the all-quarter-century offensive roster with quarterbacks, Tom Brady is unquestionably the Buccaneers' QB1. Despite initial skepticism about his move from New England after 20 years and 6 championships, Brady decisively answered critics by leading the Bucs to their first winning season in 10 years, first playoff appearance in 13 years, and a Super Bowl win. In just three seasons (50 games), he accumulated 14,643 passing yards, 108 touchdown passes, only 33 interceptions, and a 32-18 record, setting single-season franchise records for touchdown passes (43), yards (5,316), and game-winning drives (5, twice). Brady also sparked a cultural rejuvenation, making the Bucs one of the NFL's most consistent teams over the last five years. Baker Mayfield represents the next significant quarterback in recent Buccaneers history. His resurgence has allowed the team to seamlessly continue the success of the Brady era. In just two years, Mayfield has led prolific offenses, totaling 8,544 yards and 69 touchdowns (leading the NFL in touchdowns during that timeframe), along with 541 rushing yards and 4 rushing touchdowns. His performance earned him two Pro Bowl nods and provided the team with the swagger and high ceiling it lacked for many years.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp 2025 preview: Key dates, notable additions, biggest storylines
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face a significant challenge replacing All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs, who underwent knee surgery on July 8th and is expected to start the 2025 season on the physically unable to perform list, sidelining him for at least four games. Potential replacements on the current depth chart include veteran Charlie Heck and undrafted rookie Benjamin Chukwuma, while options like moving right tackle Luke Goedeke or left guard Ben Bredeson are also being considered. Resolving this position battle is a top camp priority, especially with the team starting the season with two road games and hosting the defending Super Bowl champions in Week 4. The Buccaneers' offense, largely unchanged and coming off a season of balanced scoring, features a crowded wide receiver competition beyond Mike Evans. Chris Godwin's recovery from a brutal 2024 ankle dislocation and his readiness for Week 1 is a key factor. The team added first-round pick Emeka Egbuka, who is poised for the slot role, and has second-year player Jalen McMillan in line for more playing time. Veterans Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer, plus seventh-rounder Tez Johnson, create significant depth and a positive challenge for the team. Defensively, the Buccaneers' biggest offseason addition is pass rusher Haason Reddick, acquired to boost edge pressure after defensive tackles led the team in sacks in 2024. Following a forgettable season with the Jets, Reddick joins an aggressive Todd Bowles scheme hoping to recapture his previous form of four consecutive double-digit sack seasons. Additionally, fourth-round pick David Walker, the highest NFL draftee ever from Central Arkansas, generated excitement among coaches during rookie minicamp.
Xabi Alonso had planned to drop Vinicius Junior for Paris Saint-Germain showdown
Real Madrid suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in their Club World Cup semi-final last week. This loss marked Xabi Alonso's first defeat since becoming Real Madrid manager at the start of June and is considered a significant low point for the team. The defeat has intensified scrutiny on the playing dynamic between forwards Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Junior, with many believing they struggle to function effectively together in Real Madrid's ideal lineup. Against PSG, they started as wingers on opposite sides of Gonzalo Higuaín, with Mbappé on the left and Vinícius playing out of position on the right. However, reports (via Alberto Pereiro on Radio Estadio) reveal that Vinícius was originally slated to start on the bench for the PSG match. The initial plan was for Mbappé and Higuaín to form a two-man attack. A late change occurred when Trent Alexander-Arnold became unavailable due to injury. This prompted manager Alonso to switch formations from 3-5-2 to 4-3-3, leading to Vinícius being reinstated in the starting lineup. Despite starting the match, Vinícius's near-benching is seen as a potential sign of his future standing, especially amid reports that Mbappé is currently favored more by the club. Nevertheless, Alonso's stated desire is to find a tactical solution that allows both Vinícius and Mbappé to start together and perform at their best. Finding this solution remains a key challenge for Alonso, who has until the start of August and Real Madrid's shortened pre-season schedule to resolve the issue.

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."

RB2 to be an intriguing camp battle to watch for Green Bay Packers

Josh Jacobs is firmly established as the Green Bay Packers' starting running back for the 2025 season, positioned as one of the offense's most crucial players alongside quarterback Jordan Love. Behind Jacobs, a significant training camp battle looms for the RB2 role between Emanuel Wilson and MarShawn Lloyd. Wilson proved to be a highly efficient backup in 2024, rushing 103 times for 502 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Lloyd, however, is a 2024 third-round draft pick (No. 88 overall) from USC who missed nearly his entire rookie season due to significant injuries. He brings an enticing blend of explosiveness and dual-threat ability, evidenced by his 2023 college stats: 820 rushing yards, nine touchdowns, a 7.1 yards per carry average, and 13 receptions for 232 yards (17.8 yards per catch). Beat reporter Zach Kruse identifies this as one of the biggest position battles to watch when training camp begins on July 23rd. He notes Wilson's efficiency and success rate (59.9%) but highlights Lloyd's high draft pedigree and dynamic potential, framing it as a true competition. Lloyd profiles as potential "lightning" to Jacobs' "thunder," while Wilson is a solid, experienced backup entering his third year in the system. Kruse concludes that regardless of who wins the RB2 spot, the Packers should feel great about their running back depth heading into the 2025 season, describing it as an extremely deep and talented group led by the All-Pro Jacobs, barring injuries.

NFL FUTURES: LOCK IN THESE THREE RUSHING OVER/UNDERS BEFORE THE 2025 SEASON KICKS OFF

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson headlines the list of best rushing yard bets for the 2025 NFL season, following an impressive 2024 campaign. Despite playing in an inconsistent offense, Robinson handled over 300 carries and added 60 receptions. With a new quarterback (Michael Penix Jr.) and offensive coordinator (Zac Robinson) installing a new system, the Falcons are expected to improve, potentially unlocking another level for Robinson. He possesses a rare blend of speed (4.46) and power (215 lbs), maintaining 4.8 yards per carry and a high elusiveness rating despite being a focal point for defenses. Increased chunk runs are anticipated, as he had only one 30+ yard run last season and none over 40 yards in his career so far. Las Vegas Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty, the No. 6 overall pick, is projected for a featured role. Hailed as a top prospect, the 5-foot-9, 211-pound Boise State product combines a compact build with elite burst and speed (21.7 mph in-game max). He proved capable of handling heavy college workloads and joins a Raiders backfield that lacked production in 2024, with only veteran Raheem Mostert added as insurance. Under new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, known for implementing fast-paced, run-heavy offenses (historically Top 15 in rushing), Jeanty is expected to dominate early-down work and thrive quickly as the lead back. Los Angeles Chargers first-round pick Omarion Hampton (No. 22 overall) is another rookie rusher highlighted after dominant back-to-back 1,500-yard seasons at North Carolina. The 6-foot, 221-pound back tested as a power-speed threat (4.46 40, 38" vertical) at the combine. His production profile and physical tools align perfectly with the Chargers' run-first offensive philosophy under Jim Harbaugh and coordinator Greg Roman. Although projected to start in a timeshare with veteran Najee Harris (on a one-year deal and struggling with efficiency), Hampton's role is expected to grow quickly. He will benefit from running behind a strong offensive line and defenses being unable to solely focus on the run due to quarterback Justin Herbert and an upgraded receiving corps.

NFL personnel evaluator compares Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield to Hall of Famer

Both the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers released quarterback Baker Mayfield in 2022. As the 2025 season approaches, neither team possesses a proven long-term starter at quarterback, while Mayfield, now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was recently ranked as the NFL's 10th-best quarterback by league executives, coaches, and scouts in an ESPN survey. An unnamed NFL personnel evaluator compared Mayfield's playing style to Hall of Famer Brett Favre, citing his "moxie" and aggressive "on the attack" mentality that defensive players feel. Like Favre, Mayfield is described as a "gunslinger" willing to put his body on the line to win. Since joining Tampa Bay, he has led the team to consecutive division titles and leads the NFL in regular-season touchdown passes (69) since Week 1 of the 2023 season. His performance also helped former Buccaneers offensive coordinators Dave Canales and Liam Coen secure head coaching jobs. Statistically, Mayfield finished the 2024 regular season ranked highly: third in passing yards (4,500), tied for second in passing touchdowns (41), third in completion percentage (71.4%), and fourth in passer rating (106.8). He has become the undisputed leader of Tampa Bay's offense and is positioned for a potential lucrative contract extension. The evaluator praised his fearlessness, leadership, underrated arm strength, mobility in the pocket, rushing ability, and effectiveness attacking deep when protected. Reflecting his success, the Mayfield-led Buccaneers are currently seventh in betting odds (+1300) to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LX. The article suggests that decision-makers in Cleveland and Carolina likely regret parting ways with Mayfield in 2022 given his current standing and their ongoing quarterback uncertainties.

All-Time Bucs: 21-25

Pewter Report is unveiling its Top 50 All-Time Tampa Bay Buccaneers list to commemorate the team's upcoming 50th season. Author Scott Reynolds is releasing his personal rankings over two weeks in ten articles, each featuring five players. His list includes 25 Super Bowl champions from the 2002 or 2020 teams and nine members of the 2025 team. The current article focuses on players ranked 21-25. The series began with ranks 46-50 and will conclude with the top 5. The article highlights running back James Wilder as a key figure from the 1980s era, predating stars like Mike Evans, Mike Alstott, and Warrick Dunn, and even the team's competitive period. Wilder, drafted in 1981, played nine seasons for Tampa Bay. He remains the franchise's all-time leading rusher 30 years after retirement, with 5,957 rushing yards and 37 rushing touchdowns. He also accumulated 3,492 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns, totaling nearly 10,000 yards from scrimmage, making him one of the franchise's most potent offensive weapons.

Lawrence Raves About Swinney

Trevor Lawrence, entering his fifth season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025 under his third head coach (Liam Coen), recently reflected on his college coach, Clemson's Dabo Swinney, during an interview on "Pardon My Take." Lawrence played for Swinney from 2018 to 2020, winning three ACC Championships, making three College Football Playoff appearances, and securing the 2018 national title. Lawrence expressed deep admiration for Swinney, describing him as authentic and unfazed by criticism. He emphasized Swinney's genuine personality, stating, "He doesn’t put on a fake personality," and recalled how Swinney remained honest in the media despite backlash. Lawrence highlighted Swinney’s motivational skills over technical expertise, noting that lengthy team meetings held players' attention because Swinney instilled unwavering confidence, making the team believe "we’re gonna kill these dudes" regardless of opponents. Lawrence also praised Swinney’s recruiting prowess, attributing it to his ability to sell Clemson’s family atmosphere—a promise Lawrence confirmed was fulfilled. He called Swinney "a stud" and maintains monthly contact with him. Under Swinney, Lawrence became Clemson’s winningest quarterback (34-2 record), a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2020, and set program records for career winning percentage (.944), pass efficiency rating (164.3), yards per passing attempt (8.87), and wins against Top 25 teams (nine).

Miedema’s memorable City matches so far

Miedema, the all-time top scorer in the Barclays Women’s Super League, joined Manchester City after successful spells at Heerenveen, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal. In her debut season at the club, she recorded 11 goals and four assists across 19 appearances in all competitions, contributing to several memorable performances. One standout display occurred in the Champions League Round Two qualifier against Paris FC, where Miedema scored on her debut. Breaking the deadlock in the 36th minute, she evaded her marker and acrobatically finished Jess Park's cross. This goal, described as vintage Miedema, was part of a 5-0 victory that included additional goals from Park, Mary Fowler, and Chloe Kelly. Another key performance came against her former club Arsenal in the WSL. Miedema nearly opened the scoring with a 35-yard lob, but Arsenal took the lead through Frida Maanum. Miedema later equalized with a deflected shot from the edge of the box, after dribbling past Lotte Wubben-Moy. Jess Park then put City ahead with a half-volley, and Miedema tested Arsenal goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger twice in a dramatic encounter.

Rumour Mongering: Al Hilal Turn Focus to Liverpool Striker Darwin Nuñez

Al Hilal is actively seeking a striker after failing to sign Victor Osimhen and is now reportedly targeting Liverpool's Darwin Nuñez. Reports from Saudi Arabia suggest Al Hilal has made contact with both the player and Liverpool regarding a potential transfer. Despite widespread assumptions that Darwin Nuñez would leave Liverpool this summer due to perceived regression under manager Arne Slot, he remains with the club. His continued presence is attributed to his preference to stay in Europe and the failure of interested clubs, specifically Atletico Madrid and Napoli, to meet Liverpool's asking price so far. Intriguingly, the Saudi reports also mention a supposed €60 million offer for Nuñez from AC Milan this summer. While Napoli's interest has been well-documented in Italy, and Atletico Madrid's was noted earlier, a formal Milan bid at that level would be significant news, especially as it exceeds Napoli's rumoured €55 million offer. This isn't the first Saudi interest in Nuñez, as Al-Nassr attempted to sign him in January. At that time, Liverpool's reluctance stemmed from not having a replacement lined up, rather than Nuñez's objections. Current reports indicate the 26-year-old striker prioritizes staying in a top European league, making his stance uncertain amidst the new Saudi approach. The validity and potential impact of the reported AC Milan bid also remain unclear.

Real Madrid star’s 250-day metamorphosis: is he now the team’s MVP?

In just 250 days, Aurélien Tchouaméni has undergone a remarkable transformation from a jeered player to a vital tactical piece for Xabi Alonso. On November 5, 2024, he endured a nightmare performance for Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, being booed off the pitch at halftime after costly mistakes against Milan. This marked a low point, with intense criticism following him for weeks. The turning point arrived on January 16 in a Copa del Rey match against Celta. Despite whistles when his name was announced, Tchouaméni delivered an outstanding performance, signaling the start of his resurgence. His recovery began step by step from this point onward. Today, Tchouaméni is indispensable in Xabi Alonso's system. He operates as a pivot and a third center-back alongside Huijsen, a complex and demanding role that allows Alonso to implement a three-center-back formation. Tchouaméni has excelled, becoming a "compass" for the team and consistently performing well, even standing out during difficult team performances like the loss to PSG, where he led in passes completed (36) and was second in ball recoveries (5). His pass accuracy in this role is nearly 98%. Within the club, Tchouaméni is now viewed as irreplaceable due to a lack of natural backup. Güler is learning the number 6 role, Valverde has filled in unconvincingly, and Camavinga appears better suited to an interior position than Tchouaméni's specific pivot/third center-back role. The club's failure to sign Zubimendi further underscores Tchouaméni's essential status. This dramatic shift, from being a targeted player seemingly at rock bottom 250 days ago to becoming an undisputed starter and tactical cornerstone, highlights his extraordinary turnaround.

Enzo Maresca has now made ‘clear’ decision on £35m Chelsea player’s future

Chelsea is expected to offload several players before the September transfer deadline, with Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling, and Ben Chilwell among those listed as unwanted. While Felix is reportedly open to rejoining Benfica, no deal has been agreed upon with Chelsea yet. In contrast to potential departures, defender Benoit Badiashile appears certain to stay at Chelsea. Despite making only five Premier League appearances last season due to injuries and being behind Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana in the pecking order, new manager Enzo Maresca has explicitly stated that the 24-year-old Frenchman remains part of his plans for the upcoming season. Previous links to signing new centre-backs, such as Jorrel Hato, have quieted down. This decision means Badiashile will stay and compete with Colwill, Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, and Tosin Adarabioyo for a starting position. Maresca has communicated his desire for Badiashile to remain, and the player himself confirmed his intention to stay. Badiashile directly stated to Foot Mercato: "Yes, I will still be at Chelsea next season. The club, the coach, and all the staff give me a lot of confidence and believe in me. I will do everything to give back to them on the pitch. I love the club, the city, and the supporters." Although Chelsea signed him from AS Monaco for £35m in 2023 and his lack of playing time might make it difficult to sell him for a profit in the future, Badiashile is set to remain at Stamford Bridge for the immediate future.

Newcastle United’s ‘secret’ contract extension confirmed ahead of Austria trip

Newcastle United has commenced a training camp in Austria, with several key players joining the squad after extended breaks. Alexander Isak, Dan Burn, Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, and Bruno Guimaraes have all linked up with the team, with Isak recovering from a groin injury and the others having participated in recent international fixtures. New signing Anthony Elanga, whose £52 million transfer from Nottingham Forest was officially confirmed, has also arrived. These players were absent from Newcastle's pre-season friendly against Carlisle United, which resulted in a 4-0 victory for the Magpies. Manager Eddie Howe fielded two distinct lineups for each half, with Sean Longstaff opening the scoring in the first period. Joelinton, Jacob Murphy, and Ben Parkinson added goals in the second half to secure the win. In goal, Nick Pope started the match while regular backup Martin Dubravka and Odysseas Vlachodimos were granted time off following international duties with Slovakia and Greece, respectively. John Ruddy replaced Pope for the second half, strongly suggesting he has signed a new contract with the club. Ruddy's previous deal had expired at the end of last season, and his appearance confirms ongoing discussions have concluded positively. Ruddy, who joined Newcastle last summer as a senior training figure rather than a competitive player, emphasized his role in mentoring and supporting the goalkeeping department. He highlighted his 20-year career experience as a valuable asset for guiding younger teammates, a responsibility he actively embraces despite not featuring in senior matches since his arrival.

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.

Recent Vlahovic contact with Milan keeps hope alive

AC Milan have recently made contact with striker Dusan Vlahovic, driven by manager Max Allegri's desire to reunite with the player after their time together at Juventus. Milan continues to pursue this move despite existing obstacles. Vlahovic's contract with Juventus expires in June 2026, and a contract renewal in Turin appears improbable. Consequently, a sale this summer is highly likely, with Juventus potentially allowing him to leave for a relatively affordable transfer fee of €20 million. However, the low transfer fee is offset by Vlahovic's substantial salary demands; he would bring an expensive wage of €12 million per season from Juventus. Despite this financial hurdle, the relationship between Vlahovic and Allegri remains strong following the initial contact revealed on June 7th, with further recent communication taking place. Maintaining Milan's position in the race for Vlahovic is becoming increasingly important as the weeks pass. Allegri was instrumental in bringing the Serbian striker to Juventus from Fiorentina originally. Therefore, while acknowledging a long road ahead with many obstacles, Milan remains alert and attentive to the possibility of signing Vlahovic.

Kessie of interest to Juventus after initial Roma approach

Former AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie, currently playing for Al-Ahli, is now being linked with a potential move to Juventus. This follows earlier reported interest from Roma in bringing the Ivory Coast international back to Serie A, where he previously played for both Atalanta and Milan. While a reunion with his former Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma was considered, talks did not advance. According to reports from Calciomercato.com, Juventus are closely monitoring Kessie's situation and could make a formal proposal for him during the upcoming summer transfer window. Kessie transferred to Al-Ahli from Barcelona for €12.5 million in August 2023, but his contract is set to expire in June 2026, making him a more affordable option now than previously. Juventus are reportedly exploring a potential exchange deal. They are attempting to move winger Nico Gonzalez towards the Saudi Pro League, specifically to Al-Ahli, and could aim to include him as part of a swap to acquire Kessie.

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.

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. Inacio is currently under contract with Sporting until 2027 and featured in 42 matches last season, scoring six goals and providing three assists. Portuguese newspaper A Bola reports significant market interest in Inacio, noting United were 'already linked' to him soon after appointing Amorim in November. The report also states that Borussia Dortmund inquired about Inacio during the January transfer window. Should Inacio remain at Sporting this summer, the club is expected to attempt initiating a contract renewal with the defender.

Arsenal target skips training amid transfer tension with Sporting

Viktor Gyökeres faces disciplinary action from Sporting CP after failing to report for pre-season training by Saturday's deadline, with reports indicating his desire to join Arsenal. The striker, who scored 54 goals in 52 appearances last season, risks a club fine without sufficient justification for his absence. Sporting CP holds a commanding negotiating position, having won three Primeira Liga titles in five years and secured consistent Champions League participation. Club president Frederico Varandas emphasized they have "no pressing need to sell," stating they are comfortable retaining Gyökeres for his remaining three-year contract if Arsenal fails to meet their valuation. The striker has scored 97 goals in 102 games, symbolizing Sporting's revival. Arsenal seeks attacking reinforcements despite nearing a £52 million deal for Chelsea's Noni Madueke (who will sign a five-year contract) and securing Kepa Arrizabalaga. They view Gyökeres as ideal for adding robustness and goal-scoring tenacity to Mikel Arteta's frontline. Negotiations are stalled over Sporting's demand of €70 million (£60.2m) plus €10 million in add-ons. Arsenal's previous €65 million plus €15 million add-ons offer was rejected, as Sporting prioritizes payment structure over total sum. Varandas warned that Gyökeres' absence "complicates exit conditions," stressing "no one is above the club's interests" and that resolution requires "the close of the transfer window, a heavy fine and an apology." Beyond Gyökeres, Arsenal continues talks to retain 17-year-old talent Ethan Nwaneri after his UEFA Under-21 Championship success, amid interest from Chelsea and German clubs. They also monitor Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, though his £67.5 million release clause remains unchallenged by any formal offer. Arsenal's summer ambitions are clear, but their ability to match Sporting's demands remains uncertain as the transfer window progresses.

Hertha emerge as potential takers for Werder Bremen’s Dawid Kownacki

According to Sport Bild, Hertha BSC is considering acquiring Polish striker Dawid Kownacki from Werder Bremen. The 28-year-old appears destined for another stint in the 2. Bundesliga, having spent the previous season on loan at his former club Fortuna Düsseldorf. Kownacki recorded 13 goals and seven assists for Fortuna in the second division last season. Despite these strong performances and an injury to Werder's lead striker Marvin Ducksch, Werder Bremen still does not view him as a viable attacking option for the current campaign. The striker, who possesses clear potential, has struggled to maintain form in the Bundesliga. His last top-flight goals came during the 2018/19 season with Düsseldorf, where he scored four times. He failed to score during Düsseldorf's relegation season in 2019/20 and went scoreless in 22 Bundesliga appearances for Werder in the 2023/24 season. Kownacki's market value has fluctuated significantly, dropping from a career-high €9 million in 2019 to a low of €1.5 million in 2022, before partially recovering to €2.5 million. Werder Bremen is reportedly seeking a €3.5 million transfer fee from Hertha, though the Berlin club would prefer a loan arrangement with modest associated fees.
