Days after the ever-reliable Fabrizio Romano gave his 'here we go' for Yan Diomande's move to Real Madrid, the transfer has not been announced yet and there is a growing sense of impatience.
Los Blancos, after all, have been close to completing the deal for days now but have not managed to deliver the final blow, raising questions on what the limiting factor currently is.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Leipzig and Real Madrid are yet to finalise the specifics of the economics of the operation with the German side demanding easier-to-achieve variables and a larger fixed sum.
Now, Fabrizio Romano himself has come out to address the reason for the delay in announcement of the signing.
Indeed, as relayed by the Italian journalist, there is a growing sense from the Leipzig sources that the Bundesliga side are looking to sign a replacement for Diomande immediately.

JonJones remains highly confident in his ability.
In a recent interview, the former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight and lightheavyweight **** leholder weighed in on how he believes a fightagainst fellow former two-division king AlexPereira and a wrestling match against longtime rival DanielCormier would unfold, backing himself in both scenarios.
Jones and Pereira were seemingly on a collision course when thelatter announced his move up to heavyweight for UFC Freedom 250. However, with Jones' ongoing stalemate withthe UFC regarding his future, a fight against "Poatan" has fallenthrough.
Nevertheless, Jones cites size as a key factor at heavyweight,claiming his former opponents StipeMiocic and Ciryl Ganeare bigger than Pereira, who previously competed at 185 pounds.
"I watched Pereira train," Jones said in an interview with AFLGlobal. "I see his level of wrestling and it's way behind. I feelas if Stipe Miocic is a true heavyweight. He's a big, big boy.Ciryl Gane, when you see him in person, he's a big, big boy. AlexPereira is not a big, big boy. He's a lean guy. I think right nowhe weighs maybe 250."
Jones believes his size and grappling would have overwhelmedPereira, predicting a submission win had they collided inside theOctagon.
"I feel as if my physical strength would have been too much forhim," Jones said. "I felt as if the moment I would have gotten himto the ground, my submissions would have come pretty quickly. Imean, everyone knows that. I think that's the clearest path tovictory for me against Alex Pereira. But we're not fighting. I am afan of him. I support him, and I want to see him do well."
"Bones" also discussed his approach towards a potential wrestlingmatch with Cormier, who he's already shared the cage withtwice.
"I think I would have beat D.C. in a wrestling match," Jones said."It wouldn't be easy, but I think I would beat him in wrestling. Ihear that he has problems with his back, so my strategy would be tojust try to wear on him. Not shoot, not go for the takedown, butjust hand fight, hand fight, hand fight and see if I could wear onthat back."

Former Utah Jazz wing Johnny Juzang has left the NBA – at least, for now – and will continue his career in Turkey next season.
Juzang has signed with EuroLeague side Fenerbahce, whose name gets almost invariably attached to all fringe NBA players at some point, yet who have already officially announced this deal. It gives the 25-year-old swingman an opportunity to further establish himself overseas following four NBA seasons, three of which came with the Jazz – including by far his best one as a professional to date.

Cathie Wood doesn't mind volatility. The founder, CEO, and chief investment officer of Ark Invest went shopping as many of her existing positions were sinking.
Ark bought more shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), **** e Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) last week. The stocks would go on to decline between 7% and 18% for the week. Let's take a closer look at some of Wood's most prolific trades from the past week, each one among the 10 largest companies by market cap.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
It's been a **** py road for the world's largest automaker by market cap. Tesla stock has fallen 16% in the final two trading days of last week, after the company posted disappointing financial results. The pullback isn't a fluke. Tesla has now fallen a humbling 37% since peaking seven months ago. Tesla entered this week just 5% away from taking out its 52-week low.
The second-quarter results were problematic. Total revenue rose 26% to $28.2 billion, but that was largely expected. Tesla had announced a 25% jump in vehicles delivered during the last three months three weeks ago. It's commendable that Tesla is growing its flagship business, following back-to-back quarters of sequential declines after the end of federal tax credits for electric vehicles in the third quarter of last year. The report gets worse once you get past the top-line results.

Shares of neocloud infrastructure provider Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) shot up nearly 19% on July 21 after it emerged that Nvidia has a significant stake in the company.
According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nvidia has a 9.3% equity stake in Nebius, which amounts to just over $5 billion as of this writing. It is worth noting that Nvidia announced a $2 billion investment in Nebius in March this year to help the neocloud specialist deploy more than 5 gigawatts (GW) of artificial intelligence (AI) data center capacity by the end of the decade.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
That investment has grown substantially. The AI stock has jumped over 67% since Nvidia announced it was backing Nebius on March 11. The good news is that Nebius still has significant upside potential, given the fast-growing AI data center market it serves. Let's see why this Nvidia-backed AI infrastructure specialist is destined to be a long-term winner.
Nebius provides dedicated AI data centers to customers looking to run AI workloads in the cloud. More importantly, the company operates an end-to-end AI cloud infrastructure platform by offering software solutions as well, enabling customers to build AI agents, fine-tune models, and develop applications, among other things.

Circle—the company behind USDC (the digital dollar used by millions worldwide for payments, savings, and international transfers)—just bought the blockchain patent library IBM spent more than a decade building. The deal, announced July 27, hands Circle over 1,000 blockchain patents issued by IBM worldwide.
Patents are legal rights that give the holder exclusive control over a specific invention. If you hold a patent on a method for processing transactions on a blockchain—the shared digital ledger where crypto activity is permanently recorded and can't be altered—you get to decide who else uses it and on what terms. IBM had been building that kind of leverage since its mid-2010s enterprise blockchain push.
By December 2025, patent ******* ytics firm PatSnap credited IBM with 790 U.S. blockchain patents—more than any other American company, with Bank of America a distant second at roughly 200. Circle, which received its first-ever patent in December 2023 (covering parallel blockchain data processing—a technique for verifying multiple groups of transactions simultaneously), went from essentially zero to the top of the U.S. rankings overnight.
"The portfolio comprises over 680 patent families and nearly 1,000 issued patents worldwide, spanning foundational blockchain technology, banking, financial services, insurance, enterprise infrastructure, supply chain verification, and secure cloud operations," Circle said in its official announcement.
Circle plans to put them to work across its entire stack. "The expanded IP position directly supports Circle's foundation for building the internet financial system, including USDC, Circle Payments Network, Arc, and a growing suite of onchain products and agentic financial tools," the company added. Arc is Circle's own payment-focused blockchain built for institutional finance. The agentic tools are AI-powered software programs that can execute financial transactions autonomously—no human required for each step.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Harrison Bader was involved in a weekend scooter accident that aggravated his left foot injury, the team announced July 28.
Bader played for the Cincinnati Reds for part of the 2023 season. He has played for seven teams over 10 MLB seasons.
Bader hasn't played since May 29 because of left plantar fasciitis.
The Giants said Bader met with a foot and ankle specialist July 27 in Indianapolis, but it "was complicated by the fact that he had a scooter accident on Saturday night/early Sunday morning and further injured his same foot."
The Reds are scheduled to visit the Giants in San Francisco August 24-26.

The preliminary fiscal Q4 2026 update from Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), which was announced on July 21, serves as a case study in the distinction between a discounted valuation and a 'value trap'. The server manufacturer announced more than $60 billion in new orders during the quarter, a record backlog, and guided gross margins to 15-17%, nearly doubling its previous 8.2-8.4% prediction, citing a better customer and product mix.
Revenue is still expected to be near the low end of its $11-12.5 billion guidance range, below the roughly $11.67 billion ****** yst consensus, though shares rose as much as 20% on the news, with margin and order data clearly outweighing the top-line miss for investors focused on where the business is going.
For the broader technology ecosystem, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI)'s order increase is an important indicator of downstream artificial intelligence hardware demand. Since Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) bases its high-performance server clusters on NVIDIA GPU architectures and has historically contributed roughly 9% of NVIDIA's total revenue, the $60 billion order intake provides solid proof that hyperscaler AI infrastructure spending remains strong. At a time when macro experts have questioned the ability of major cloud providers to continue multibillion-dollar capital expenditure cycles, Super Micro's record backlog indicates that customer demand for liquid-cooled AI computing racks is increasing rather than decreasing.
However, Super Micro's own history is why the stock's price can't be evaluated the same way a clean order-book beat generally is. Back in March 2026, federal prosecutors unveiled an indictment charging co-founder and board member Yih-Shyan "Wally" Liaw, along with two other individuals ****** ociated with the company, with collaborating to smuggle $2.5 billion in NVIDIA-powered AI servers to China in breach of US export regulations. Shares plunged more than 28% in a single day as a result of the announcement, and one ****** yst reported by Yahoo Finance at the time described the company as "uninvestable."
That history is reflected in how cheap the company has become, despite the solid order data: Super Micro Computer Inc.

Revenue is still expected to be near the low end of its $11-12.5 billion guidance range, below the roughly $11.67 billion ****** yst consensus, though shares rose as much as 20% on the news, with margin and order data clearly outweighing the top-line miss for investors focused on where the business is going.
For the broader technology ecosystem, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI)'s order increase is an important indicator of downstream artificial intelligence hardware demand. Since Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) bases its high-performance server clusters on NVIDIA GPU architectures and has historically contributed roughly 9% of NVIDIA's total revenue, the $60 billion order intake provides solid proof that hyperscaler AI infrastructure spending remains strong. At a time when macro experts have questioned the ability of major cloud providers to continue multibillion-dollar capital expenditure cycles, Super Micro's record backlog indicates that customer demand for liquid-cooled AI computing racks is increasing rather than decreasing.
However, Super Micro's own history is why the stock's price can't be evaluated the same way a clean order-book beat generally is. Back in March 2026, federal prosecutors unveiled an indictment charging co-founder and board member Yih-Shyan "Wally" Liaw, along with two other individuals ****** ociated with the company, with collaborating to smuggle $2.5 billion in NVIDIA-powered AI servers to China in breach of US export regulations. Shares plunged more than 28% in a single day as a result of the announcement, and one ****** yst reported by Yahoo Finance at the time described the company as "uninvestable."
That history is reflected in how cheap the company has become, despite the solid order data: Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) trades at a forward P/E ratio of approximately 9x, less than half the hardware sector median of about 24x, and a PEG ratio of around 0.4, both of which would ordinarily indicate serious undervaluation.

The San Francisco Giants unsteady future plans for their rotation just got murkier. On Tuesday, the team announced what many had feared for a few days: that right-handed pitcher Trevor McDonald will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair his throwing arm.
McDonald, who has a 5.12 ERA and a 4.28 FIP on the year, left his last start after feeling discomfort in his elbow during warm-up pitches before the fifth inning. The 25-year old was promptly placed on the 15-Day Injured List with a UCL strain which, unfortunately, leads to Tommy John most of the time. After getting a second opinion from a specialist, McDonald and the Giants decided on the surgery, which will take place next week.
The timing of the surgery means that McDonald will not only miss the rest of this year, but almost certainly all of next season as well. Barring any setbacks, he should have a good chance of being ready to return by the time Spring Training rolls around in 2028. Unfortunately for McDonald, he'll find himself in an unenviable situation then: he'll be not only trying to shake off the injury rust and get back in form, but he'll be out of options, essentially eliminating his leash to get back in a rhythm and proove himself.
But that's a problem for another day. Unfortunately, a whole lot of rehab awaits McDonald before he gets to the stage. And a whole lot of moves await the Giants, who will need to rebuild an already-bad rotation this offseason — and one that is likely about to lose Robbie Ray and Tyler Mahle — without McDonald as an option.

Falcons' bold right tackle move could define the 2026 season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Atlanta Falcons are entering the 2026 season with a new look on the right side of their offensive line for the second consecutive year, hoping the latest changes will provide stability and strengthen the protection in front of their offense.
The transition began after longtime right tackle Kaleb McGary announced his retirement during the offseason. McGary, the 31st overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, started 92 games for Atlanta from 2019 through 2024 before a knee injury sidelined him for the entire 2025 season. His retirement marked the end of a significant chapter for the Falcons' offensive line.
Atlanta temporarily filled the void last season with veteran Elijah Wilkinson, but his departure in free agency left the Falcons searching once again for a dependable starter.
The team's answer came in the form of veteran tackle Jawaan Taylor. Selected four picks after McGary in the 2019 draft, Taylor brings a wealth of experience to Atlanta after spending time with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs. Over seven NFL seasons, he has started 120 regular-season games and appeared in nine playoff contests, giving the Falcons a proven veteran with championship experience.

Add one bizarre injury to the San Francisco Giants season.
Harrison Bader was headed to Indianapolis to meet with a foot and ankle specialist for his left plantar fasciitis that sidelined him for two months on Monday, but ran into a bit of trouble late-Saturday, early-Sunday morning.
Bader, 32, was involved in a scooter accident in San Francisco, the team announced, which further injured the outfielder's sore left foot. He will have an MRI "to better understand the severity of the injuries sustained from the scooter accident," the Giants said.
Bader still made it to Indianapolis to meet the specialist on Monday, but the accident complicated the meeting.
"Reached out to him, asked him if he was OK. Obviously he's not better than he was prior to that," manager Tony Vitello said. "It's going to delay the recovery process for him, but even prior to it, you're looking at a pretty frustrating long runway."

The Miami Heat were one of the five finalists for LeBron James this summer, and adding him to their current roster would have been a dream scenario. However, things did not work out that way this time around.
The four-time NBA champion decided to finish his career with the Philadelphia 76ers, making his decision official on Friday.
"LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers for his final run at another NBA championship, he announced Friday," ESPN's Dave McMenamin wrote. "James, 41, is signing a two-year, $8 million contract with a player option, Klutch Sports Group CEO Rich Paul told ESPN's Shams Charania."
Like other teams around the league, the Heat must now evaluate the remaining options available. One name Miami has shown interest in is Klay Thompson, who would provide the team with much-needed shooting.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles at American forces in the Middle East on Tuesday, shattering a brief pause in fighting as mediators tried to get both sides back to negotiations and toward a ceasefire, the U.S. military said.
All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted, the U.S. Central Command said in a statement, adding that U.S. forces "remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness."
The United States and Iran had experienced a period of calm, during which neither announced attacks for days following weeks of escalation over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf waterway and narrow chokepoint through which 20% of the world's oil normally flows.
There was no immediate comment from Tehran on the U.S. military statement or the strikes.
Iran effectively closed the strait when the war began by firing at freighters and tankers off its coast or threatening them. Following the signing of an interim ceasefire deal in June, a battle for control over the strait erupted.

TORONTO (AP) — Amazon's Prime Video will exclusively broadcast Wednesday night national NHL regular-season games in Canada in English and French beginning next season as part of a new 12-year licensing agreement with Rogers Communications Inc. announced Tuesday.
The streaming service will also carry select Stanley Cup playoff series, including two first-round series and one second-round matchup annually.
The agreement spans the length of Rogers' $11 billion, 12-year deal with the NHL for national media rights on all platforms in Canada through the 2037-38 season. Terms were not disclosed.
"We're thrilled to expand our partnership with the NHL and Rogers in this landmark agreement, which brings even more premium live sports to Prime members in Canada," said Jay Marine, head of global sports at Prime Video.
Prime Video's lineup will include at least 26 national regular-season games, starting Sept. 30, and will be available to Prime subscribers in Canada at no additional cost; Rogers-owned Sportsnet retains the majority of national NHL games. A Rogers spokesperson said the playoff allocation will follow a draft format: Prime Video will receive the fourth and fifth selections among the eight first-round series and the third choice among the four second-round matchups.

The Green Bay Packers announced four roster moves ahead of the start of training camp, including a swap of international exemption players.
The team released kicker Lucas Havrisik and edge rusher Dante Barnett and signed tight end Thomas Yassmin and kicker Lenny Krieg on Tuesday.
The kicker swap means Krieg will now represent the competition for rookie Trey Smack, while the addition of Yassmin provides a healthy body at tight end, where the Packers are dealing with injuries to Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave (both on the PUP list) to start camp.
Krieg made a 57-yard field goal and his lone extra point attempt during the preseason with the Atlanta Falcons in 2025.
Yassmin, a former Rugby player, played 42 snaps during the preseason with the Denver Broncos in 2024 and 13 with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025. He has never appeared in a regular season game.

When the Rams announced that guard Justin Dedich would open training camp on the non-football injury list, they did not reveal the nature of that injury. Today they explained it.
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Justin Dedich "had a hand accident around the Fourth of July, and so that's kind of what's keeping him out for now."
McVay didn't specifically mention fireworks, but that's the obvious conclusion people will draw from a July 4 hand accident.
During Fourth of July weekend in 2015, two different NFL players lost fingers in fireworks accidents. Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul's injury caused him to miss half that season, although he had a long career after that, including being a Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion in Tampa Bay in 2020. Buccaneers cornerback C.J. Wilson also suffered a serious hand injury at Fourth of July 2015 and never played again.
There's been no word on the severity of Dedich's injury.
