Multiple French reports suggest Randal Kolo Muani will fly out over the next 48 hours to join Juventus, after they finally agreed a mandatory purchase option with Paris Saint-Germain.
The matter has been dragging on since the moment he first arrived on loan in January 2025, but when they failed to work out a permanent agreement that summer, he was loaned to Tottenham Hotspur instead.
Negotiations carried on in recent months to find a breakthrough, and it seems today they finally managed to settle on a transfer format both clubs could be happy with.

Josh Hart responds to Draymond Green calling out Jalen Brunson and the Knicks originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Jalen Brunson made headlines when he took a pay cut worth $100,000,000 with the New York Knicks. It ended up being successful because that was the key to the Knicks being able to sign players like Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby to bigger contracts.
Considering they were crucial to winning the championship, just like Brunson, it was worth it. Some people were not big fans of this, including Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, because he thinks the Knicks could have afforded it anyway.
It is not surprising that Green has been vocal about Brunson taking a pay cut. He has always been an advocate of players getting the most out of the teams that pay them, but Brunson was a different story. He had no issues with taking a pay cut, but it seems Green has an issue.
Most of the NBA world, including the players are used to hearing Draymond talk about the latest topics in the league. Considering he also has a part-time career as a member of the NBA media through podcasts and TV shows, it is nearly impossible not to hear from him.

Javier Báez is officially back with the Detroit Tigers.
Manager A.J. Hinch announced Tuesday on MLB Network Radio that Báez will be activated from the injured list, ending a lengthy absence that began April 29.
The veteran had been transferred to the 60-day injured list on June 11 before beginning a rehab ******* ignment with Triple-A Toledo.
Báez showed signs of life during his time with the Mud Hens, including a three-double performance that caught Hinch's attention.
Detroit initially appeared willing to give him additional rehab time, but his recent progress was enough for the club to bring him back.

The Washington Commanders begin training camp on Wednesday, but on Monday, one day before veterans report, they delivered some surprising news. Washington was parting ways with first-year tight ends coach Ben Steele.
It was shocking news at first, but his recent arrest violated team rules, leading the Commanders to fire Steele.
The first thought here is the timing. It's less than ideal. Washington is looking for a new position coach just as training camp begins. However, there's no need to worry, as it appears the Commanders already have their replacement on staff.
Steele was arrested on June 7. Washington held its mandatory minicamp from June 16-18. The Commanders placed Steele on leave, and longtime NFL star and five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Wes Welker worked with Washington's tight ends. Welker joined Washington in 2025 as a personnel ****** yst. This offseason, he was moved to an offensive ****** istant position, allowing him to help out at multiple spots.
It now appears that Welker will be Washington's new tight ends coach. Head coach Dan Quinn meets with the media on Tuesday, where it's expected he will have some sort of announcement. Of course, Welker working with Washington's tight ends during the minicamp doesn't mean he'll be the pick, but it makes the most sense. He served as a wide receivers coach for the 49ers and Dolphins before coming to Washington, so he has full-time coaching experience.

The good news for the Pirates is that they moved into a tie for the third National League wild card spot with a 3-2 walk-off win over the Diamondbacks at PNC Park on Monday night.
But the win came with a potential cost as star rookie Esmerlyn Valdez left the game after being hit by a pitch on his left hand.
Top 6th, 2-0 ARZ: The Diamondbacks (55-52) broke the scoreless tie on Max Kepler's two-RBI double off Mitch Keller with one out, knocking the Pirates starter out of the game.
Bottom 6th, 2-1 ARZ: Brandon Lowe got the Pirates (55-52) on the board when he plated Jake Mangum from third base on an infield single off Merrill Kelly.

Como remain firmly in the race for Trevoh Chalobah, with fresh talks scheduled with Chelsea on Saturday 25 July as the clubs attempt to reach a final agreement over the defender's future. According to Sky Italia, discussions are ongoing and the key issue continues to centre on the structure of the fee.
The broad outline of the negotiations is clear. Chelsea want £30m guaranteed to sanction Chalobah's departure, while Como are currently holding at around £25m, with a preference for part of the package to be tied to appearances and performance-related objectives. That gap is not vast, but it remains significant enough to prevent an immediate conclusion.
Como's recruitment drive has included a strong focus on adding quality at centre-back, with the club looking to provide Cesc Fabregas with a proven option in defence. Chalobah has emerged as the leading target, and this latest round of discussions suggests the Serie A side are serious about seeing the move through.

From Chelsea's perspective, the stance is understandable. Chalobah is coming off a productive campaign in which he made 34 Premier League appearances and scored three goals, while also featuring eight times in the Champions League. Those numbers reflect both availability and trust, two attributes that naturally strengthen his market value.

The catcher position has been the Yankees' Achilles heel all season, but they may find their answer in the coming days.
The Yankees have the second-worst OPS (.531) from the catcher position in MLB. The duties have been split between Austin Wells, Ali Sanchez and J.C. Escarra this season, with Wells playing in 70 games and holding a .163 batting average and .524 OPS.
The Yankees are expected to pursue an upgrade at the position ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, and The Athletic's Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal have thrown a new name into the mix.
Yankees -1.5 run line on DraftKings for Friday's series opener versus the Phillies. Our complete DraftKings Sportsbook review will show you how to sign up and use their platform.
"The Cincinnati Reds' Tyler Stephenson, one available catcher, might become an alternative for the Yankees, and other teams are pursuing the Minnesota Twins' Ryan Jeffers," Sammon and Rosenthal wrote on Thursday.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has talked to former Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola and Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti about taking over the crisis-hit national team.
It hopes to announce the new Italy coach within the week, with the Azzurri still reeling after failing for a third straight time to qualify for the World Cup.
Former Italy and AC Milan defender Paolo Maldini was named as the federation’s new technical director at the start of the month and was present at a meeting with the Serie A clubs on Thursday, along with new FIGC president Giovanni Malago and special adviser Leonardo.
“Honestly, we can’t give news about what’s happening. You’ve identified one of our targets,” Maldini said when asked about Guardiola in a news conference after the meeting.
“We can’t hide that we also talked with Carlo Ancelotti before talking with Pep. Honestly, it seemed right to start with the best in the world, to see their general availability.”

WORCESTER – Hard work, determination, a commitment to practice and perseverance. Those are the keys in which Lou Gehrig coach John Connolly credits to his team as they prepare to travel to DuBois, Pennsylvania for the Junior Little League All-Stars East Region Tournament.
"It feels great," Dominic Eilert said. "It's a great opportunity that we get to show people that we're great and how good we are, and we've been doing this. I've been playing for Lou Gehrig for a long time, so it's a good feeling to play with these kids, but I know them and they're all good kids."
Lou Gehrig defeated North Reading in the final on July 19 in Oxford to qualify for the East Regional. Connolly believes his team's depth is what has helped them all season long.
"All my kids can pitch," Connolly said. "I've got a lot of pitching depth. We've very strong. I think our biggest strength is our lineup. We can hit one through 12. We don't have a weak spot in our lineup. My 12 hitter is as good or close as good enough to my leadoff hitter."
The team's depth was tested in a game at Fitton Field, in which they found themselves short-staffed.

Getting fired by LSU freed up more time for Brian Kelly to do what he does best.
No, I’m not talking about driving a U-Haul, although Kelly says he did indeed drive the moving truck after LSU booted him from the Boot.
I’m talking about politics.
Kelly spent the past few months doing a media circuit and politicking for a new job.
Kelly, as any football observer knows, is an ace politico, and he’s convinced at least one person he might deserve another shot somewhere.

Britain's Joe Clarke marked the opening day of the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with a gold medal in the men's kayak cross in Oklahoma City.
The 33-year-old surged to victory in the individual time trial in 46.54 seconds at the Olympics Canoe Slalom venue set to be used at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
"It feels amazing. I've not been running the best the past couple of days and I tweaked my neck a little bit," Clarke said.
"Yesterday's kayak cross was probably one of the worst I've ever had, so to turn it around within 16 hours is fantastic and a great start to the competition."
Clarke won silver in the same event at Penrith last year, and has now won seven world **** les across all events.

We've covered Quarterback and Running Back in our Upgrade/Downgrade series, and both position groups seem to be a likely upgrade. It helps when you return your best player at that position, but now things start to get interesting for the offense. Aireonte Ersaey was a 2nd-round draft pick, Phillip Daniels left for NIL at Ohio State and then you lost 60 combined starts between Quinn Carrol and Tyler Cooper.
As per usual, the offensive line unit improved throughout the season, but it was not a strength in 2025. So after a down year, can this year's unit be an upgrade?
2025 Starter: Nathan Roy, Greg Johnson, Ashton Beers, Tony Nelson, Dylan Ray
2026 Starters: Roy, Johnson, Beers, Tony Nelson, Bennett Warren
Depth: Jerome Williams, Brett Carroll, Jaden Ball, Daniel Shipp, Kaveon Lee, Mark Handy
The good news here is that four starters return, and a nice transfer piece has been added.
Nathan Roy was the starter at left tackle last year for 12 of the 13 games and he had a nice season. And if you factor in that he was just a redshirt freshman, there is reason to believe that he is going to be an excellent blind-side protector for Drake Lindsey.

A Carolina Panthers legend has joined the wave of layoffs over at the worldwide leader.
As first reported by Bobby Burack of OutKick, ESPN is set to part ways with Cam Newton. The former quarterback and franchise great had served as a debate partner on for ****** yst Stephen A. Smith on the network's hit program First Take during football season.
Newton is now one of a handful of names to pop up during ESPN's latest exodus. A few other reported departures include former safety Ryan Clark, former linebacker Bart Scott, NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero and NFL Network ****** yst Charles Davis.
Since playing his last down of NFL football back in 2021, Newton has transitioned into a successful media career. In addition to his two-year run with ESPN, the former NFL Most Valuable Player has starred in his own show—4th & 1 with Cam Newton on YouTube.
Burack also notes that ESPN will look for a permanent replacement for Newton on the Monday editions of First Take.

For the second straight season, Starkville will host the Mississippi high school football state championships.
Mississippi High School Activities ******* ociation executive director Rickey Neaves confirmed to the Clarion Ledger on July 15 that Mississippi State will host the 2026 MHSAA football championships.
The MHSAA board voted to hold the 2026 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi Gridiron Classic Dec. 3-5 at Davis Wade Stadium. It will only be the third time in 10 years that Starkville has hosted.
Since 2016, the football championship games have been held at Mississippi State (2016, 2025), Ole Miss (2017, 2023), Southern Miss (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024) and Jackson State (2020).
Additional details, including information regarding tickets, parking, tailgating and other amenities, will be shared in the weeks leading up to the championships.

TimesofIndia.com in Birmingham: All-rounders Axar Patel and Washington Sundar successfully guided Team India to a 259-run chase in the first ODI against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Tuesday. The six-wicket victory ended India's three-week winless streak in the UK, where they had suffered a 0-2 defeat to Ireland and a 0-4 whitewash against England in the T20I series. The win also extended India's unbeaten run against England in ODIs to six consecutive victories while ending England's seven-match winning streak at Edgbaston.

The 102-run stand between Axar and Washington for the fifth wicket, under the blazing sun, lifted the proverbial clouds that had briefly converged over India's march towards victory. In a matter of 20 minutes, India lost skipper Shubman Gill to cramps, Shreyas Iyer to a run-out, and KL Rahul, who dragged a wide delivery onto his stumps. India went from 149/2 to 160/4 in a jiffy, with the trio back in the hut. England, who had been pegged back by the 101-run partnership between Gill (80 off 75 ****** ) and Iyer (35 off 53 ****** ), were suddenly roaring in celebration, as were the 20,744 in attendance. 'Wonderwall', 'It's Coming Home' and 'Hey Jude' echoed around the ground as the FIFA World Cup fever, fuelled by Harry Kane & Co.'s run to the semi-finals, blended with England's surge at Edgbaston.

With 99 runs still required, the challenge was less about the required run rate of 4.5 an over and more about handling the sudden pressure after the loss of three quick wickets. Both Axar and Washington had just arrived at the crease and faced a daunting task. Instead of being bogged down, the southpaws, the first left-handers in India's XI after the quartet of right-handers, tackled the situation with aplomb.
The duo saw off Will Jacks and Sam Curran, with the four overs yielding just nine runs. Adil Rashid's reintroduction allowed Washington to free his arms with a boundary and a nine-run over. The next two overs, as Curran and Jacks continued, yielded 18 runs, with the duo's confidence evidently growing.

Axar was the main man at this stage. A slog sweep off Jacks and consecutive boundaries off Jofra Archer meant the runs were starting to flow comfortably. At the other end, Washington enjoyed watching his teammate bat.
"The way he batted was magical and it was a treat for me to watch from the other end," he said at the post-match press conference.

The next four overs reflected the same level-headed approach. As the fifty-run partnership came and went, the duo collected nine runs in three overs while seeing off Archer's full quota of 10 overs. The following two overs produced another 19 runs, allowing Axar and Washington to slow things down again over the next three overs.

Having navigated the chase to perfection, the duo grew in confidence and momentum, fittingly capped by Washington's cracking shot in the 45th over that sealed the match. A floated delivery from Adil Rashid was too full and in the slot for

There was a moment, after Argentina came back from 2-0 down to reach the World Cup quarter-finals, when Lionel Messi simply could not stop crying.
There was a touch of celebration but also something more raw than that. He had already cried once this tournament, after he heard of a complication with his father's health following the opening match.
This time, his tears came from relief. Not from escaping defeat against Egypt, but relief he hadn't let his team-mates down after missing a penalty that, for a while, threatened to end Argentina's tournament.
For Messi right now, the emotions arrive tangled together: relief, pressure, family, the crowd, team-mates who love him and want - more than anything - to see him win again. This may be his last World Cup. Then again, who knows.
But somewhere in the middle of all that rollercoaster there is also enormous happiness for a man who has finally found the perfect context, a football team built to his measure. All for one and one for all.

The Eagles announced the news via a post on their official club website earlier today.
The 24-year-old American forward joined Crystal Palace from SSE Airtricity League Women’s Premier Division club Athlone Town in the January transfer window. She initially signed an 18-month deal at Selhurst Park. Brady helped Crystal Palace to win automatic promotion back to the Barclays Women’s Super League, however, she is now moving on to a new challenge.
Brady made two appearances for Crystal Palace in the second half of last season. She came off the bench to make her debut in a 4-0 victory over Durham in January before playing the final minutes of The Eagles’ season-defining fixture against Portsmouth on the final day. Crystal Palace won that match 6-1 as they made a last-minute dash into the second automatic promotion position.
Brady’s next career move is not yet known. The player regularly found the back of the net during her college career in the United States while she was in prolific goalscoring form as she started her senior career in the Republic of Ireland with Athlone Town. The forward is a talent and she has an exciting career ahead of her.

Despite playing under a minutes restriction as she continues to work her way back into her typical workload within Indiana's (14-9) lineup, Caitlin Clark set another WNBA record on Sunday night in the Fever's 109-75 rout of the Las Vegas Aces (17-7) at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.
As the third quarter neared its conclusion, the former Hawkeye made a nifty pass to teammate Monique Billings, who converted at the basket while being fouled and later completed the three-point play. The helper from Clark was her 600th career **** ist, making her the fastest player in WNBA history to reach that milestone, accomplishing the feat in just 72 games.
The three-time WNBA All-Star would go on to finish with 12 points on 5 for 11 shooting, 1 for 5 from 3-point land, and 1 for 2 at the free-throw line, to go along with seven **** ists and six rebounds in 24 minutes of play.
While it didn't take Clark long to reach 600, the 6-foot guard still has quite a long way to go to even come close to the league's all-time regular-season career **** ist leader, Hall of Famer Sue Bird, who has 3,234 **** ists.
Having won five of their last seven games and leaped into fifth place in the league standings, Clark and Fever will return to play on Wednesday, July 15, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against Golden State Valkyries (17-7). That game between the Fever and Valkyries is scheduled for a 7 p.m. CT tipoff and will be broadcast on USA Network.

Caleb Wilson thinks UNC making him not shoot threes helped him reach the Bulls originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Caleb Wilson has been one of the biggest standouts of the 2026 NBA Summer League so far. As the fourth overall pick by the Chicago Bulls, everyone expected Wilson to be a hit, and so far, he has been stellar.
When it comes to his game, Wilson was mostly profiled as an athletic wing with upside on both ends of the floor. Most projections for his offense were mostly restricted to the paint or the mid-range, but he has surprised a lot of people with his three-point shooting at Summer League.
Billed as a high-upside athletic wing, Wilson was always going to be a project player. He is not the most complete player in the class, but he has already proven that he is ready to work hard to become a star for Chicago.
Wilson has been working with the renowned shooting coach, Chris Matthews, better known as Lethal Shooter on social media. They have worked together to improve Wilson's shooting, which was considered by many to be his biggest weakness.

Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic remains a Premier League target, with Newcastle United, Sunderland, Leeds United and Bournemouth focus on the €40m player, as Juventus still wait.

The asking price has been set at €40m, though Juventus would be able to get him for half that figure.
This is because he was in their youth academy and was sold to Sassuolo for €2m, retaining a 50 per cent cut of the future sale fee.

Paddy Pimblett entered UFC 329 looking to bounce back from his first loss since 2018. It took him 52 seconds.
In the most stunning outcome of Saturday night, the always-entertaining Englishman put Benoit Saint Denis to sleep via D'Arce choke in less than a minute. It was the second-fastest D'Arce choke submission in UFC history, behind only Kyle Daukaus at 50 seconds.
"Sub of the year b****es. I knew he was out," Pimblett (24-4) said after the bout. "My man was face-down eating canvas."
The disaster began when Saint Denis (17-4, 1 NC) threw a high kick nine seconds in, then shot for a takedown. Pimblett tried a guillotine, and by the time the two were settled, Saint Denis' head was in a place he definitely did not want it. Pimblett didn't let him escape.
Cue the dance party, as is tradition with Pimblett.

THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, London — A year on from Amanda Anisimova’s emotional speech after a 6-0, 6-0 Wimbledon final defeat to Iga Świątek, Karolína Muchová was similarly struggling to hold it together.
The tears flowed down her face on Saturday early evening just as they had done for Anisimova a year earlier, as Muchová went up to do one of the toughest things in tennis: Give a runners-up speech, having just suffered one of the biggest heartbreaks in the sport.
This was nothing like the loss Anisimova had suffered, but it will be no less crushing — even if the emotions are different.
Muchová was beaten 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 by her friend and fellow Czech Linda Nosková, who overcame unraveling at her first sight of the finish line in the second set by resetting to win in three.
Between the second and third sets, the match had seemed there for the taking for Muchová. The 29-year-old had saved five championship points, winning five straight games, to come from 5-2 down against an opponent who was falling apart. When Muchová forced break point three times in the first game of the decider, a comeback win seemed inevitable.

If there was ever a string of unlikeable college football head coaches, the LSU Tigers could arguably claim that distinction. Most recently, they hired Lane Kiffin away from Ole Miss. He replaced someone many fans found even more unlikeable: Brian Kelly.
There's no doubt Kelly is a good football coach. However, his personality and the way he handles business have often rubbed people the wrong way.

Kylian Mbappe is having himself an incredible World Cup. The French star is currently tied with Lionel for the lead in the Golden Boot race with eight goals through his country's first eight matches. While there's something special about what he does with the ball at his feet, it's also worth discussing what he does when he's just out there running around.
A lot was made earlier this week about the way that Norway's Erling Haaland moves slowly to set up his attacks, but maybe we should instead be focusing on the speed with which Mbappe does the same. On the play where Mbappe earned a penalty kick in the first half he was absolutely flying. Watching him accelerate and run past defenders it looked like he was running very fast and it turns out, he was.
MORE: Spurned goalie tosses ball at Kylian Mbappe after France beats Paraguay
Mbappe was measured at 37.6 kilometers per hour during the match. It was the fastest recorded speed of anyone at the 2026 World Cup.
That's impressive. But when you Americanize those numbers and convert them to miles per hour you'll find out Mbappe was running 23.36 mph. Below is Raheem Mostert running 23.1 mph back in 2020. Tyreek Hill's top recorded speed in 23.24 mph back in 2017. Basically, in that video up there, that is about the fastest we've ever seen anyone run in a professional team sport.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Wyatt Langford lined a shot off the wall in left field to bring home Alejandro Osuna in the ninth inning, lifting Texas to a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels after the Rangers blew a five-run lead Thursday night.
Langford struck out three of his first four times up as the designated hitter after getting activated from the 10-day injured list the first day the outfielder was eligible after dealing with a left hamstring strain.
Osuna led off the ninth with a single and went to second on pinch-hitter Nicky Lopez's sacrifice bunt. Langford lined a 1-1 fastball from former Texas closer Kirby Yates (0-4) over Jose Siri's head for the winning single.
Jo Adell had a tying pinch-hit single to cap a five-run seventh a night after homering twice in the Angels' 13-1 victory.
Cole Winn (4-2) got Adell on a sharp liner to center field to end the ninth with the potential go-ahead run at third after replacing All-Star closer Jacob Latz, who went 1 2/3 innings in his first outing in nine days.

Wearing his brand new Utah Jazz hat and sitting behind a microphone on draft night, Darryn Peterson was midway through his answer when something else — someone else — caught his attention. "Kobe is my guy, and I'm inspired by him. So I just try to think, what would Kobe do right now? He'd get drafted and move on and try to go be the best possible," Peterson said.
