The Los Angeles Lakers have done lots of work this summer to remodel their roster around Luka Doncic after LeBron James and several other rotation players left. But that doesn't necessarily mean their current roster is the one they will take with them into training camp when the summer ends.
They still don't have a legitimate starting two-way wing or forward, and they reportedly are looking for another serviceable center to back up Walker Kessler. Of course, by this point in the offseason, the pickings are slim, either via free agency or trade.
Dan Woike of The Athletic outlined the Lakers' options as far as picking up another big man, and he noted that Jalen Smith of the Chicago Bulls "has some fans" within the Lakers organization, while also adding the concerns that would come with acquiring him.
"Smith has some fans within the organization because he plays with motor and has worked himself into a pretty good outside shooter," Woike wrote. "But Smith is expensive (one-year, $9.5 million remaining on his deal) and undersized at 6 foot 8. The previous Bulls' regime was a fan of his, which puts his actual availability into question."
Smith, 26, was the No. 10 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and can play both the 4 and 5 positions. This past season, he averaged 10.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 20.7 minutes a game while making 37.3% of his 3-point attempts. He has a wingspan of at least 7-foot-1, and while he isn't a freakish athlete, he has solid athleticism and runs the floor well.

Real football is back for the Dallas Cowboys, who are set to take the field for the first time in training camp on Wednesday. Most of the roster is set, with a conservative number of around 35 players all but guaranteed to make the team.
That leaves almost 20 roster spots up for grabs. Anything can happen this summer in Oxnard, and odd things occur annually in training camp, so there are some veterans who might be surprise cuts for the Cowboys. Here are four players who could be shocking releases if they don't perform well in camp.
The offense doesn't have many depth issues, but tight end is a position where Dallas could be looking for more quality. The starter is Jake Ferguson, and the No. 2 option now appears to be Brevyn Spann-Ford, who has taken over for Luke Schoonmaker in the pecking order. While neither excelled as a receiver in the offense, Spann-Ford is a much better blocker.
Brevyn Spann-Ford (#89) is a hoss. pic.twitter.com/n40IE1Df8c
Among those who could push Schoonmaker off the roster are undrafted free agent TE Michael Trigg, who brings an intriguing skill set as a receiver, or Princeton Fant, who's managed to stick around for the last two seasons.

Since the transfer portal wound down earlier this summer, St. John's was hoping to land a full-time replacement for interim general manager Tom Ostrom. Instead, they are now looking toward their top ******* istant to wear more than one hat.
According to Adam Zagoria, ******* ociate head coach Steve Masiello will ******* ume general manager duties while remaining in his coaching role.
St. John's is also looking to hire an ******* istant to replace Greg Youncofski, who took a position on Richard Pitino's staff at Xavier this offseason, and they are pursuing someone with a strong connection to head coach Rick Pitino. Zagoria also reported that the Red Storm are interested in hiring current Louisville ******* istant Peyton Siva, who played four seasons with the Cardinals under Pitino and won a National Championship in 2013. Siva has worked on Pat Kelsey's staff for the last two seasons, helping his alma mater reach two consecutive NCAA tournaments. It remains unclear if Siva shares mutual interest in joining the Red Storm's staff or if the Cardinals would be willing to part ways with their star-turned-coach.
Masiello — himself, a former Louisville ******* istant who also mentored Siva — is entering his fourth season on Pitino's coaching staff and will become the Red Storm's third general manager in the calendar year.
He replaces Tom Ostrom, a longtime ******* istant in the sport reputed for his recruiting ability who ******* umed general managerial duties on an interim basis in March following Matt Abdelmassih's dismissal from the program early this year.

Detroit — No windows were broken, dang it.
But Rickie Fowler, good company man that he is as a longtime Rocket pitchman, did his best to go viral, plunking the side of the new Hudon's building with one of his tee shots during Par 3 in the D.
"I kind of broke the ice, and then there was a couple others," Fowler said as the sun was starting to set on downtown Detroit on a mild but breezy summer Tuesday night. "With the wind, the buildings were in play.
No broken windows to report in downtown Detroit. But it wasn’t for a lack of trying from Rickie Fowler. He’s a good company man. pic.twitter.com/R5xC5cUJgb
"Definitely probably one of the harder shots we've had to try and hit, between some buildings.

Counting Stars has been shining bright during her three-year-old season
During the Spring and Summer, most of the Thoroughbred racing focus is on events like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes, and Travers Stakes. All these races are restricted to three-year-olds and mostly males run in them. For every race that has colts contending for greatness and notoriety, there is a sister race for those wonderful three-year-old fillies. During the 2026 racing season, a fantastic filly named Counting Stars has been quite celestial and is shining as bright as any three-year-old currently, regardless of gender.
The grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks has long been a summer showcase for the three-year-old girls. Inaugurated in 1917, this mile and an eighth dance over the New York dirt has seen its fair share of fantastic fillies. The 2026 edition was a showdown between Kentucky Oaks (opening leg of the Triple Tiarra) winner Always A Runner and Acorn Stakes (third leg and sister to the Belmont Stakes) champ Counting Stars. As the race unfolded, it became more of a showcase for a fabulous female.
Breaking alertly under jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., Counting Stars immediately ******* umed the lead and rolled through some solid early fractions (23.86 opening quarter mile, 47.60 half mile). Sashaying to the top of the stretch in an almost effortless fashion, this daughter of Honor A.P. was suddenly challenged by her rival and Oaks winner Always A Runner. With an eighth of a mile to go, the two were running side by side and separated by a whisker. Suddenly, the Stars aligned and with an amazing comet-like burst of speed, this mercurial filly trained by Mark Casse left her rival eating kickback as she whisked towards the wire. At the sixteenth pole the race was over and Counting Stars cruised past the finish an emphatic 4 ¼ lengths ahead in Stakes record time (1:48.98).
"Coming into the race I was about as confident as you can be in this filly", says trainer Mark Casse. "At the eighth pole, I wondered if perhaps I was wrong and she's not as good as I think. Always a Runner is a very good horse so naturally I was a little concerned, but then she responded to the challenge with a huge effort down the lane".

Miley Cyrus is never one to shy away from a bold, revealing look.
From bikinis to lingerie, the "Flowers" singer, 33, posed in risque photos on the cover of Wonderland's summer 2026 issue.
In the photoshoot, which was shared on Instagram on Monday, July 27, she wears an oversized satin coat jacket from Saint Laurent while shirtless and covering her chest with her crossed arm. Other looks feature the "Hannah Montana" star strutting in a leather jacket while flaunting her tattoos or a one-shoulder ruffle top while slightly revealing more skin.
In another photo, the pop star embraces minimalism as she wears nothing but a Tiffany & Co. necklace and her blonde curls.
She's no stranger to a provocative appearance. At the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, she famously wore a nude-toned two-piece outfit as she twerked on Robin Thicke with a foam finger during a performance of "We Can't Stop" and Thicke's "Blurred Lines. "

Heat predicted to sign $342M 14-year veteran, 3-time All-Star to pair with Giannis Antetokounmpo originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
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.

Virtually all German footballing media sources are currently reporting that Jesper Lindstrøm's transfer to newly promoted Bundesliga outfit FC Schalke 04 is close to being finalized. Reports from Italy and Germany now suggest that negotiations are at an advanced stage, with Lindstrøm already having reached a basic agreement with die Königsblauen.
Schalke have been working to bring the 26-year-old back to the Bundesliga following his disappointing season with relegated Wolfsburg. Napoli initially hoped to sell the Denmark international and recover part of the approximately €30 million invested in his 2023 transfer from Frankfurt.
What price Schalke will pay for the 18-times-capped international should prove interesting.
Lindstrøm's estimated market value in the Transfermarkt listings has collapsed since his successful Frankfurt spell. Valued at €28 million before leaving the Bundesliga, the winger arrived at Wolfsburg last summer with an €18 million valuation.
Following an injury-plagued campaign in which he made only four starts, Lindstrøm is now valued at €4 million—a decline of almost 78 percent in one year. The Dane made another 11 appearances off the bench, including both relegation-playoff fixtures against Paderborn.

Real Madrid summer signing Marc Cucurella has on Tuesday unveiled a new tattoo, of none other than Spanish national team head coach Luis de la Fuente.
This marks a promise kept on the part of the defender from earlier this summer.
Cucurella is of course fresh off playing a starring role, en route to his native Spain beating out the competition to clinch glory at the 2026 World Cup.
Whilst the competition was in full flow, the former Chelsea man was asked by the media if he had any plans to commemorate the achievement, in the case of La Roja going all the way in North America.
And Cucurella went on to turn heads upon revealing his intention to have a fresh tattoo inked, of his manager on the international stage.

A trio of up-and-coming young talents at La Liga giants Barcelona have turned the heads of the club's coaching staff with their performances in pre-season.
Hansi Flick and co. are of course currently hard at work, amid early preparations for the fast-approaching 2026/27 campaign.
Barca have to date been forced to make do without a whole host of their leading stars in training, owing to their respective efforts at this summer's World Cup.
This has opened the door for a number of youngsters to step up, afforded the chance to impress with sights on a first-team berth next season.
And as alluded to above, amid these efforts, three such starlets have already done enough to catch the eye…

The writing has been on the wall at Parkhead for some time. Celtic are ready to listen to offers for Johnny Kenny this summer, with Millwall positioning themselves at the front of the queue. Sky Sports, via The72, confirmed that the Scottish champions won't stand in the striker's way if a decent bid comes in. Alex Neil wants the 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international at The Den, convinced he can hit the ground running straight away in the Championship.
The signing of Colombian attacker Camilo Duran from Qarabag effectively sealed Kenny's fate. Celtic originally paid Sligo Rovers £140,000 for the forward back in January 2022. Alan Nixon reports via his Patreon that a figure around £850,000 should get the deal done now. That represents a tidy profit on a player who never quite nailed down a starting spot.
Millwall aren't alone in their chase. Bolton Wanderers want him back permanently after his impressive loan spell last term. Kenny clicked quickly under Steven Schumacher, bagging six goals in 14 matches to help push Bolton towards promotion from League One before a knee issue cut his campaign short.
Add those figures to his Celtic return, and he managed 12 goals and two ******* ists across 36 total games in 2025/26. Four of those goals came in 22 Scottish Premiership matches for Celtic. Respectable enough for a squad member. Not enough to demand a starting shirt under Martin O'Neill. Publicly, O'Neill has noted that no final decision has been made on the Irishman's long-term future. Behind the scenes, sources suggest breaking into the first team this summer looks like a mountain too steep to climb.
Taking £850,000 for a squad player isn't defeatist. It is basic business. Celtic get a clean exit, pocket a profit, and free up ******* e on the wage bill for O'Neill to reinvest where it matters. Kenny gets the chance to kickstart his career somewhere he will actually play week in, week out.

Rodri enhanced his reputation with his performances for Spain at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He led Spain to World Cup glory and his performances during the latter stages of the tournament reminded everyone that the Manchester City midfield mainstay remains one of the premier midfielders in European football. Following the World Cup, Rodri's stock couldn't be higher. However, he was scheduled to have back surgery after the competition. Manchester City have confirmed that Rodri has now undergone back surgery. Also, due to his performances at the World Cup, there are doubts over Rodri's future at City as Real Madrid circle.
In an announcement on mancity.com, it has been confirmed that Rodri has undergone minor back surgery. As per Manchester City's statement, Rodri has been feeling discomfort in his back for some time. The surgery that Rodri has undertaken will alleviate the issue and the Ballon d'Or-winning midfielder will now enter a short period of rehabilitation ahead of joining up with Enzo Maresca's squad for the latter stages of Manchester City's preseason.
Having undergone back surgery, Rodri should be ready to go for the 2026-27 season. Manchester City will need their midfield general ready to go based on how integral he is to their chances next season. However, there is an elephant in the room. A major one. That is will Rodri be at Manchester City for next season? He is in the final 12 months of his contract and Real Madrid are circling one of Manchester City's key ***** ets.
Spanish publication Marca has reported that Real Madrid are looking to sign Rodri this summer. It is reported that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is preparing to push to sign the World Cup winner. Also, it is believed that new Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is eager to add Rodri's leadership, ability in possession, tactical discipline and ability to manage a game to his squad. It now remains to be seen if Real Madrid will begin negotiations with Manchester City to sign Rodri.
Rodri has undergone back surgery on a minor issue. It is hoped that he will be ready for the 2026-27 season following that procedure. It now remains to be seen where Rodri will play next season. That is the biggest question mark surrounding Manchester City's midfield general.

An insight into the terms of the offer sent the way of Real Madrid star Gonzalo García by Premier League outfit Fulham has this week come to the fore.
This comes amid confirmation that the Londoners are prepared to go 'all out' to land the young striker.
Frontman Gonzalo is for his part a man in demand with a view to the season ahead. Amid stiff competition for places in the attacking ranks at Real Madrid, a host of clubs are understood to be eager to lure the 22-year-old away.
One such suitor come in the form of the aforementioned Fulham. After witnessing Gonzalo's talents first-hand during his time on the Bernabéu bench this past season, new Cottagers head coach Álvaro Arbeloa has earmarked his fellow countryman as a priority summer signing.
Fulham, in turn, have gone as far as to send a contract proposal the way of the player and his entourage. And as alluded to above, on Tuesday, the details of the offer on the table have been revealed.

Fabio Paratici has wasted no time stamping his mark on this Fiorentina squad. He's brought in 5 new players already and more are coming. That's good news: the Viola needed to refresh a stale, ailing group. What I'm interested in, though, is the senior players the new sporting director has sold. No, I don't mean outcasts like Lucas Beltrán and Amir Richardson and Alessandro Bianco. I don't mean unfortunate salary casualty Robin Gosens. No, I mean all the academy-trained talent in the system.
Until the Viola create a B-team, it will lose a crop of academy kids every summer. Most of them never had a chance of breaking through to the first team. For the handful who might have the quality, finding an acceptable path within the club is difficult. The most common outcome is what happened to, say, Eduard Duțu last year: a promising young defender, he ended up on 7 loan deals before leaving Florence for good last year without ever making a senior appearance. Guys like Luca Ranieri—loans to Foggia, Ascoli, SPAL, and Salernitana before breaking through—are the exception. It's rare for to see one of these youngsters take that final step.
Young players matter to fans in a way they don't to the club itself. For fans, every 17-year-old who dribbles a 3rd-tier defender in preseason becomes a future star. That's not just luxurious thinking. We need that fantasy—the academy contains untold riches—because it reinforces two narratives that sustain us, especially through the lean years. First, we get to believe that we know ball and can identify buried talent because that allows us to think of ourselves as knowledgeable, superior, and in control of something over which we actually exert no control. Second, we get to think that Fiorentina is doing something better than other clubs, allowing us to enjoy vicarious success and prove to ourselves that there's a reason to support an organization that constantly falls short.
The other bit is that fans connect with kids they've watched grow up more than they do with senior players brought in on the open market. There are Borja Valero exceptions, of course, but in a vacuum, we'd all prefer an academy product more than a player of equal talent who transferred in. It demonstrates that the club's process is successful. It also provides a connection to the city: every time you see a kid like Tommaso Martinelli post a picture of himself as a child in the Curva Fiesole, it reinforces the depth of feeling the locals have for the club in a way that nothing else can.
Fiorentina has enjoyed unprecedented success at youth level in the Commisso era. Daniele Galloppa led the kids to their first scudetto in 43 years, adding that trophy to 4 Coppe Italia and 2 Supercoppe since the 2019-2020 season.

Until the Viola create a B-team, it will lose a crop of academy kids every summer. Most of them never had a chance of breaking through to the first team.

Atlético Madrid star Julián Alvarez has been advised by sources close to him to take into consideration issuing a personal apology to his employers.
This comes after the Argentine went public with his desire to depart the Metropolitano amid interest from La Liga rivals Barcelona.
The name of frontman Alvarez has of course positioned itself centre stage in the media headlines throughout Spain across the summer to date. After Robert Lewandowski was allowed to depart the aforementioned Barcelona on a free transfer, the 26-year-old was identified as the ideal replacement.
Desperate to secure a Camp Nou switch, Alvarez therefore confirmed whilst on international duty that:
"I spoke with people at the club, with those I had to speak with and the best thing for everyone is a transfer. I want to fulfil my dream."

After the commercial success of the World Cup, MLS is seeing dollar signs.
Ticket sales have boomed since the final on 19 July, when Lionel Messi's Argentina were vanquished by Spain. For FIFA, Messi and Argentina getting to the final in New Jersey was the optimal outcome – it sustained casual fans' interest for the duration of the tournament and kept the get-in price sky-high.
In Europe and South America, there has been a monumental backlash to the overt commercialisation of the World Cup.
Indeed, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino having crossed the Rubicon and now looking to sell a stake in FIFA itself, the 2026 World Cup might be remembered as the start of a great schism in the sport.
But for Major League Soccer, whose outgoing president of 27 years Don Garber thinks the league can topple the English Premier League as soccer's most commercially valuable, the summer of 2026 cannot be seen as anything but an unbridled success.

After dazzling in the NBA Summer League earlier this month, Chicago Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson earned high praise from Hall of Famer Charles Barkley on Tuesday.
Wilson was a consensus second-team All-American selection at North Carolina, averaging 19.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.7 ******* ists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks while shooting 57.8% from the field. He set the freshman program records for scoring average and 20-point games (17).
The 6-foot-10 Wilson was highly touted entering the draft because of his versatility, athleticism and physical traits, boasting a 7-foot, 1/4-inch wingspan. Barkley, speaking on the "Dan Patrick Show," believes the Bulls hit a home run by selecting Wilson with the fourth overall pick.
I think the Chicago Bulls got the best rookie in the NBA. When I was talking to coaches and general managers, they are like, 'Who would you take with the No. 1 pick?' I said, 'Caleb Wilson.' They are like, 'What do you mean?' I said, 'I like (AJ) Dybantsa. I like (Darryn) Peterson. There was no player I would have taken before Caleb Wilson. Not one.' Peterson and Dybantsa are probably better scorers at this stage, but he can learn how to shoot. Let me tell you something: From an athletic point, he can guard one, two, three, four. Ain't ******* ody more talented than Caleb Wilson. Period.
Wilson was named to the All-Summer League first team, averaging 23.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 1.8 ******* ists and 1.2 steals while shooting 41.9% from 3-point range in four games. He ranked fourth in total points (94) among all players, having scored 19 or more in each appearance.

As far as Karlie Kloss is concerned, what happens in the Swift squad stays in the Swift squad.
During an appearance on the "Today" show Tuesday, July 28, the supermodel and pal of pop superstar Taylor Swift spoke about attending the singer's wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden earlier this month.
Kloss, 33, was spotted at the star-studded nuptials alongside husband and venture capitalist Joshua Kushner. The couple were among several A-list attendees at the July 3 ceremony, which included guests such as Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Tom Cruise, Adam Sandler and Zoë Kravitz.
Kloss, who appeared on the morning talk show to discuss her children's book "Spaghetti Code," was asked what it was like to attend "the wedding of the summer."
More Swift wedding guests speak out: Travis Kelce was 'a puddle' seeing Taylor Swift, Joe Buck says

West Ham United defender Jean-Clair Todibo is attracting transfer interest from Napoli, according to respected transfer journalist Gianluca DiMarzio.
The Hammers signed the Frenchman two years ago for big money, but he has struggled to live up to expectations in England.
West Ham do not necessarily need the funds following the big-money sales of Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes.
However, Todibo's inconsistent performances, and perhaps desire to play in a more prominent league, could push him out of the London Stadium.
The Italian club is searching for replacements for the injured Alessandro Buongiorno. They are eyeing several options, including Tiago Gabriel, Benoit Badiashile, and Federico Gatti.

I broke down the 2027 scouting classes in my early summer scouting series, and the room has a ton of potential with a long list of potential standout players. I broke down the offense and defense in articles and I suggest reading those for a broad aspect of the room. Brock Bowers remains an elite tight end, and arguably the best in the NFL, but the Raiders do have some questions behind Bowers after the 2026 season. Former 2nd rounder Michael Mayer is sent to be a free agent, and with a good season he should be looking at a decent contract as a TE2, blocking specialist. Additionally, Ian Thomas is set to be a free agent and Las Vegas also has former UDFA Carter Runyon, who's flashed, but it's likely even with retaining Mayer the Raiders should add another TE.
These rankings are extremely early, and they will evolve over not only the summer but the next 8-10 months throughout the season, and into draft season. Some lists will feature 10, 15, 20, or more ranked prospects but I'll include others on the list below to note.
Jamari Johnson, Oregon – 6'5/260, R-So
Johnson was a key focal point of the Ducks offense last year with 32 receptions, 510 yards, and 3 TD after coming over from Louisville. He's better than Kenyon Sadiq, and in my opinion has a chance to be a better prospect than Bowers. Johnson has absurd movement skills, he's shown exceptional length, fires off the ball, and Johnson also shows a ton of quickness and movement in his route running. Johnson has fluid hips, he makes his cuts well, and Johnson shows an innate ability to adjust to the ball in the air and come down with tough catches. Where he makes a ton of impact is as a run blocker, where Johnson uses his length and athleticism with good technique, and a ton of lower body power to get off the line of scrimmage and into ***** e. Johnson will need to continue his play as the starter at TE, instead of the supplementary piece, but he has the core traits, athleticism, and technique to be a top 10 pick.
Peter Clarke, Temple – 6'6/270, Sr

Boston Celtics big man Neemias Queta will be suiting up for his Portuguese National Team in FIBA World Cup play this summer in the qualifier window games set to go down in Europe, according to new reporting from Eurohoops Dot Net contributor Stefan Acevski.
Per the Eurohoops Dot Net reporter, Portugal finished their slate of games in the initial phase of the qualifier games with an overall record of 3-3, and is now waiting for the start of the second round of FIBA World Cup qualifying play. In the first segment of that play, they will take on the Spanish National Team on August 28 and play host to the Georgian National Team this August 31.
"The roster of 16 players for these matches has now been announced, with the standout name being Neemias Queta, who recently extended his contract," adds Acevski.
Coming off a season that saw the Lisbon native have the best regular season of his NBA career to date, only to stumble in postseason play, more high-leverage action for Queta ahead of Boston's looming 2026-27 regular season can only help his development.

When it comes to Chicago Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon, the one word that encapsulates his current injury situation is "frustration."
Gordon, a former second-round pick, was hampered by soft tissue injuries last season, playing in just three regular-season games with two stints on injured reserve. After playing in two postseason games, the arrow was pointed up for Gordon, who's elevated the defense when he's on the field.
But Gordon suffered yet another soft tissue injury -- a calf injury, as confirmed by general manager Ryan Poles -- that held him out of the offseason program and has him on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start training camp. There's also no current timetable for his return.
"Obviously, he's frustrated," Poles said Tuesday. "We're frustrated. Everybody here is putting their time and effort into getting him back."
Head coach Ben Johnson hasn't been shy when it comes to voicing his frustration with Gordon, making it clear that his lack of availability has been a problem. On report day, Johnson had a message to Gordon as he starts the summer injured.

In a recent report, Tuttosport mentioned that Liverpool are showing interest in Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao. It has been mentioned that the Reds are prepared to launch a €50m move to sign the Portuguese wide player this off-season.
The 23-year-old managed to shine at times with his performances on the right side of Juventus' attack in the previous campaign. Conceicao scored four goals and picked up five ***** ists in 42 appearances for the Turin outfit last season on all fronts.
The Portuguese talent is currently among the most talented wide players in Serie A. Hence, it is no surprise that the Reds are hoping to sign him in this transfer window.
His current contract at the Turin club will expire in the summer of 2030, which could make it tough for Liverpool to land him on the cheap later this year.

Minka Kelly and Dan Reynolds returned to Hollywood Forever Cemetery for their second Cinespia date night of the summer.
The Ransom Canyon actress and Imagine Dragons frontman attended the sold-out outdoor screening of Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands on Saturday, July 25.
They coordinated in white tops and jeans before settling onto the cemetery lawn for the movie. Photographs from the event showed Reynolds sitting close to Kelly with his arm around her as they relaxed on a blanket.
Kelly and Reynolds previously attended Cinespia's May screening of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Their return placed them alongside Rose Byrne, Rachel Bloom and married actors Liza Colón-Zayas and David Zayas.
Reynolds wore a fitted white T-shirt with relaxed blue jeans and brown slip-on shoes. Kelly matched him in a sleeveless white top and wide-leg jeans, removing her shoes after the couple reached their picnic setup.

MIAMI GARDENS ― About seven Miami Dolphins receivers took up quarterback Malik Willis on an offer to do voluntary workouts in Jacksonville this summer.
"I'm just glad that they had a little time to spend and we can steal a couple reps before we get in the training camp," Willis said on the day training camp opened.
Four of the known receivers were Malik Washington, Greg Dulcich, Seydou Traore and Cole Turner.
What did Willis takeway from the extra work?
"Little things that you probably don't notice just looking around like who gets out there breaks faster, who I can throw to a little earlier than later, who likes it right on them or do they like it above their head?" Willis said. "I mean, just all those type of things that can help you be successful as far as minimizing risk."
