French midfielder Jeff Reine-Adélaïde is set to join Dutch Eredivisie side Heracles from Serie B club Salernitana. The 27-year-old has agreed to a two-year deal with Heracles, marking his third country of employment within three seasons. He spent the previous 2023/2024 campaign playing for RWDM in the Belgian Pro League, where he made 27 appearances and scored three goals. Reine-Adélaïde began his career in France, coming through the ranks at Lens before moving to Arsenal in 2015. His time at Arsenal yielded only eight first-team appearances before he transferred to Angers in 2018. After an impressive 2018/2019 season with Angers in Ligue 1, he secured a move to Lyon. However, his Lyon spell was largely unsuccessful, resulting in just 48 appearances between 2019 and 2023, which included loan spells at Nice and Troyes. His final season with Salernitana saw limited action, featuring in only 13 matches and scoring one goal.

Manchester City face renewed competition in their pursuit of Norwegian midfield talent Sverre Nypan, with Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund reportedly challenging their efforts. Despite reports suggesting City already have an agreement in place, Dortmund is actively testing their resolve for this priority youth target. City's established strategy involves acquiring elite youth prospects early in their development cycle to avoid inflated prices that follow breakout seasons in top European leagues. They aim to develop these players internally or via loans. This model is currently applied to Nypan, an 18-year-old sensation from Rosenborg in Norway's top flight, who has been on City's radar since the winter transfer window. He is highly regarded for his technical skills, composure, and vision. German newspaper Bild, relayed by Get German Football News, reports that Borussia Dortmund has been pursuing Nypan's signature for "a number of months." While a summer move for the player is expected, the ultimate destination remains uncertain due to this competition. Earlier reports by David Ornstein of The Athletic indicated Manchester City had reached a £12.5 million agreement with Rosenborg for Nypan's transfer, without a sell-on clause or contingencies, demonstrating their swift action. Contract terms until 2030 have also reportedly been offered to the player. However, Dortmund's continued interest and strong reputation for developing young players mean the situation is not entirely settled.

West Ham United has signed 20-year-old England Under-23 midfielder Sarah Brasero on a three-year contract. Brasero joins the Women's Super League club from Portuguese side Estoril, where she played one season after moving from Lewes in the summer of 2024. Expressing her excitement about the move, Brasero stated she is "ready to take the next step" and play "in the best league in the world". She added, "It feels great to be joining such an ambitious club as West Ham." Brasero also highlighted positive conversations with manager Rehanne Skinner, noting Skinner's reputation for developing young players aligns perfectly with her own ambitions at this career stage: "She's a manager that likes to develop young players, and as a young player with a lot of ambition, that's exactly what I'm looking for." West Ham manager Rehanne Skinner welcomed the signing, stating that Brasero will add "huge value" to the squad and that it is "clear that she has a lot of potential".

Liverpool have implemented several changes to their goalkeeping department this summer, aiming to provide experience to certain players and strengthen the pool with individuals showing potential to eventually challenge for the first-team starting role. One key move involves Caoimhin Kelleher securing a permanent transfer to Brentford. This allows him to play regular Premier League football, moving out of Alisson Becker's shadow at Liverpool. Another departure is Polish goalkeeper Jakub Ojrzynski. The 22-year-old, who joined Liverpool in 2019, made a Premier League matchday squad during the 2020/21 season under Jurgen Klopp but never made a senior appearance. He developed steadily through the academy, signing a professional contract and undertaking loan spells to improve. Ojrzynski consistently struggled to break into the first-team setup, finding himself behind Alisson Becker and Caoimhin Kelleher in the pecking order, with Adrian also ahead of him for a period. His contract expired at the beginning of the summer, making him a free agent. He has now completed a permanent transfer to Swedish club Orebro SK, signing a contract that runs until 2026.

Barcelona is targeting a return to the renovated Camp Nou stadium after the September international break. The club plans to host the Joan Gamper Trophy match there as a test event before resuming La Liga and UEFA Champions League games, marking the first event since construction began on August 10th. Initial plans for 60,000 spectators at the Gamper Trophy have been reduced to 25,000-35,000 due to construction delays, with stands behind the goals remaining closed. Barcelona has secured the first of two required council licenses (for activities and construction), but needs a "first entrance" license after completing necessary stadium work. A private test event without fans is scheduled for July 28th to ensure safety compliance. No competitive matches will occur before Barcelona's September 13/14 home game against Valencia. UEFA officials have confirmed the stadium will be ready for Champions League matches, aligning with La Liga's return timeline.

Raiders head coach Pete Carroll stated he actively pursued quarterback Geno Smith from the moment he was hired in Las Vegas, expressing his desire to acquire him. While the Raiders considered other quarterbacks first, including Matthew Stafford, the team ultimately pivoted to Smith after Stafford decided to return to the Rams. Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vinny Bonsignore revealed he initially questioned if Smith was an upgrade when he received a tip about the impending trade. However, Bonsignore has since changed his view, believing Smith will be a significant improvement over Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew. His initial skepticism reflected widespread doubt among fans and media about Smith, stemming from his journeyman career since being drafted in 2013, despite successful seasons in Seattle. This doubt was exemplified by analyst Warren Sharp's 2025 "Quarterback Tiers" ranking, which placed Smith just above the lowest tier, alongside Sam Darnold and Aaron Rodgers, sparking criticism and accusations of disrespect from some fans. Many outside the Pacific Northwest remain unfamiliar with Smith's successful years. Significantly, Carroll's strong belief in Smith is well-documented. The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar, who covered Carroll and Smith in Seattle, described Carroll's profound affinity for the quarterback, stating Carroll "believes in Geno more than anyone outside of Geno’s immediate family" and talks about him with deep admiration. Carroll reportedly called Smith "one of my favorite players I’ve ever coached," a notable statement given his long coaching career.

The Los Angeles Rams' running back room for 2025 appears well-stocked with three young prospects: Kyren Williams (ranked 85th best player by peers), rookie Jarquez Hunter (noted for big plays in college), and Blake Corum. Blake Corum, drafted in the Top 100 last year, saw limited action (119 offensive reps) before breaking his arm early in the season finale. His rookie season stats included 207 rushing yards on 58 carries (3.6 YPC), 7 catches for 58 yards, and 186 kickoff return yards, with no touchdowns. Corum is described as a natural runner with good feel for the game. At just under 5'8" and 205 lbs (he prefers 210 lbs), he possesses quick darting moves, jump cuts, lateral agility, burst, balance, and change of direction skills, reflected in strong Combine times (3cone: 6.82, shuttle: 4.12). While his long speed (4.53) and 10-yard split (1.58) are solid but not outstanding, film suggests he accelerates quickly (reaching 21.1 mph in 4 seconds). He is not a scat back or a true power back, despite a powerfully built, compact frame (like a "fire hydrant") and exceptional strength (27 bench press reps). His low center of gravity and leg drive make him difficult to tackle without a full wrap-up. Corum excels at pressing the line of scrimmage with exceptional vision to identify holes and read blocks. He hits creases decisively but also shows patience and nimbleness, waiting for blocks to set up before exploding tightly off them, particularly gaining extra yards at the second level. While draft previews questioned his receiving ability due to limited use at Michigan, his film shows good hands, quick transition from run to catch, and reliability on check downs. Improvement is possible, but the Rams' offense doesn't require extensive route running from backs. The Rams, under GM Snead and Coach McVay, have consistently drafted running backs with mixed results. While Kyren Williams (Round 5) is a success, Cam Akers (Rd2) and Darrell Henderson (Rd3) underperformed relative to draft position. Later picks like Zach Evans, Jake Funk, John Kelly, and Sam Rogers did not pan out. Drafting Hunter (Rd3 #90) and Corum (Rd3 #83) in consecutive years mirrors the Henderson/Akers selections in 2019/2020. Overall, the Rams enter 2025 with a running back group flush with potential.

NFL legend and Hall of Famer Ndamukong Suh has officially announced his retirement from professional football. He made the announcement on July 12, 2024, the one-year anniversary of his father's death, honoring a final wish his father expressed before passing away. Suh shared a deeply personal message, describing July 12, 2023, as the hardest day of his life when he said goodbye to his father. He credited his father as his idol, coach, and anchor who raised him, shaped him, challenged him, and believed in him, teaching him discipline, focus, and relentlessness. Suh stated that every snap he took carried his father's influence, feeling he represented his father and family on the field. He revealed that his father's final advice was, "It’s time to let football go. You’ve done everything you set out to do. Now it’s time for the next chapter." Suh explained that he is retiring today to honor that specific wish from his father. Reflecting on his 13-season career, Suh expressed gratitude and peace, cherishing memories that include being a 5x All-Pro, winning a Super Bowl ring (LV with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), and countless battles. He emphasized that he left everything on the field. Suh stated that while football was his passion, it was never his endgame. He announced his focus is now on his next chapter, centered on "impact, purpose, and legacy," specifically aiming to help others build wealth, lead with intention, and create lasting freedom. He highlighted his podcast, "No Free Lunch," as a platform for real conversations, strategy, and education, sharing lessons learned from his life journey with athletes, entrepreneurs, and young people. The article also notes Suh's impactful 2018 season with the Los Angeles Rams, where he helped them win the NFC Championship and contributed to Aaron Donald's standout season.

Garrett Wilson, a Jets player who previously teamed with Justin Fields at Ohio State, noted that multiple teammates approached him this spring to express enthusiasm about the new quarterback. Wilson described Fields as having a distinct, initially reserved personality that eventually reveals him to be "super cool" once he connects with others. Fields actively worked throughout the spring to build rapport with his Jets teammates and establish himself as an offensive leader, recognizing this as a core responsibility of an NFL quarterback. He stated that he sensed the team needed someone to fill that leadership void and willingly embraced the role, consistently pushing his teammates to meet high standards. Coach Aaron Glenn highlighted the contrast between Fields' leadership style and that of predecessor Aaron Rodgers, praising Fields' "quiet confidence" and authenticity. Glenn emphasized that Fields' genuine nature resonates with players, who easily detect insincerity, and appreciated how the quarterback carries himself. While Jets players avoid direct comparisons, running back Breece Hall pointed to Fields' youth (age 26) as a key factor in his relatability, contrasting with the 41-year-old Rodgers. Hall explained that Fields shares similar interests with younger teammates, gets equally excited during games, and socializes naturally with them off the field. Fields proactively organized off-field activities this spring to strengthen bonds with teammates, embracing relationship-building as part of his job. Though his on-field performance remains crucial, the Jets were encouraged by his spring integration and signed him to a two-year, $40 million contract, hoping he revitalizes his career with the team.

Kyle Juszczyk expressed strong admiration for Christian McCaffrey's performance during the San Francisco 49ers' offseason activities, telling The Athletic that McCaffrey appears "healthy" and "explosive" following a challenging 2024 season. Juszczyk emphasized McCaffrey's elite status, calling him "arguably the best player in the NFL" and noting his transformative impact on the team. McCaffrey's 2024 season was derailed by injuries, beginning with a calf strain in training camp that sidelined him for the first eight weeks. After returning in Week 10, he recorded over 100 scrimmage yards in his first two games but lacked his characteristic explosiveness from his 2023 Offensive Player of the Year campaign. His season ended prematurely in Week 13 with a PCL injury against the Buffalo Bills. NFL Next Gen Stats revealed his max speeds during those games—ranging from 16.1 to 17.4 mph—were notably slower than his 2023 benchmarks, with 17.4 mph ranking among his fifth-worst performances that year. Teammates and coaches have echoed Juszczyk's positive assessment after McCaffrey's full offseason recovery. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak described him as "awesome" during June minicamp, while head coach Kyle Shanahan stated in May that McCaffrey is "as ready as any player" and "healthy as can be," though the team aims to manage his workload carefully. With significant defensive roster changes this offseason, the 49ers' offense—featuring Brock Purdy, George Kittle, Trent Williams, and others—faces pressure to perform while new defenders acclimate. Brandon Aiyuk's availability is uncertain due to ACL/MCL recovery, but the unit retains a strong foundation. McCaffrey's health remains pivotal to San Francisco's success. The team fielded one of the NFL's most historically efficient offenses in 2023 when he led the league with 2,023 scrimmage yards and 21 touchdowns. If he approaches that form again, the 49ers are poised to be NFC playoff contenders.

Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Kiko Casilla revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo demonstrated exceptional generosity during their time together at the club. Casilla described Ronaldo as a "wonderful human being" and a "phenomenon" who helps everyone, including academy youngsters. Casilla specifically recounted an incident during a pre-season tour to the United States where Ronaldo purchased the latest iPhone and Apple Watch for all staff members. This included physiotherapists, security guards, and other team personnel. Casilla emphasized that Ronaldo never publicized these acts himself, as he simply liked to help or thank people without bragging. Furthermore, Casilla highlighted Ronaldo's team-first mentality, stating that when Zinedine Zidane became manager, both Ronaldo and Karim Benzema immediately stepped up their performances to support him due to Zidane's stature. The news provides this context: Ronaldo played for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, scoring 450 goals in 438 appearances and winning numerous trophies, including 4 Champions Leagues and 2 La Liga titles, cementing his legacy alongside Lionel Messi. After leaving Madrid for Juventus, he later had a spell at Manchester United and currently plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where he recently extended his highly lucrative contract beyond his 42nd birthday.

Barcelona is determined to sign Liverpool forward Luis Diaz, viewing him as a key target despite the club's ongoing financial challenges. Diaz himself prefers a move to Barcelona, having long dreamed of playing for the Blaugrana, and insiders report he is actively pushing for the transfer. Diaz has delayed formally requesting a transfer from Liverpool out of respect for the club, particularly in light of the tragic death of his teammate Diogo Jota. He aims to avoid adding tension to the dressing room during this sensitive period, and the exact timing of his request remains uncertain. Barcelona is closely monitoring the situation and expects Diaz to initiate the move in the coming days. The club is ready to negotiate but insists on not paying more than €60 million for the 28-year-old, considering this a fair valuation given his age and two years remaining on his Liverpool contract. On salary terms, Diaz is willing to accept a package that aligns with Barcelona's financial structure, without making complex demands such as release clauses that could cause registration issues, unlike other potential signings.

According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, Inter Milan players are actively discussing their failure to win last season's Serie A title in their team WhatsApp group. While the squad is currently on vacation after a long season, their group chat has become dominated by reflections on the disappointing end to the league campaign. The players reportedly feel they "threw away" the title, specifically highlighting missed opportunities to overtake eventual winners Napoli. A key moment cited is their 2-2 draw against Lazio in the penultimate weekend of the season. This sense of regret has become a primary topic of conversation within the group. Consequently, the discussions have shifted focus towards the upcoming season, with the squad expressing a strong collective desire to prioritize reclaiming the Serie A title from Napoli above other competitions like the Champions League or Club World Cup. The players' shared obsession is reportedly centered on making amends for last season's failure.

Juventus are preparing to sell Timothy Weah in the near future, as the versatile 25-year-old American wide player is not part of the club's plans for next season. Although a previous attempt to transfer him alongside Samuel Mbangula to Nottingham Forest failed when both players rejected the move, Weah is still expected to leave. He appears more receptive to a return to France, with Olympique Marseille making significant progress in negotiations with Juventus. Weah's departure, coupled with the expected exit of Alberto Costa to Sporting CP, creates a need for Juventus to sign a new right-sided wingback. Consequently, the club has compiled a four-man shortlist of potential replacements. According to reports, Dodo (26, Fiorentina) is Juventus's preferred target. However, Fiorentina is demanding a €30 million transfer fee, complicating negotiations despite recent contact between the clubs. The Brazilian's contract runs until 2027. With the Dodo deal facing hurdles, Juventus is exploring other options. These include experienced players Silvan Widmer (Mainz captain) and Jonathan Clauss (Marseille, who previously played under Juventus-linked manager Igor Tudor). Additionally, the club is monitoring young Atalanta wingback Marco Palestra (20), who has struggled for playing time due to competition.

Celtic face significant challenges in competing with Eredivisie clubs to sign Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia this summer, according to former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson speaking on Football Insider's Inside Track podcast. Robinson expressed pessimism about Celtic securing Malacia either on loan or permanently. Malacia is among five Manchester United players seeking an exit this summer and is training away from the main squad as a result. Despite making only eight appearances for PSV during last season's loan spell, Robinson indicated multiple Dutch clubs hold an interest in the 25-year-old alongside Celtic. Celtic's need for a left-back follows Greg Taylor's departure to PAOK. However, Robinson stated the Scottish champions cannot financially compete with the Eredivisie suitors. Manchester United prefer a permanent sale over a loan due to Malacia having only one year left on his contract, but it's uncertain if Celtic want to permanently sign direct competition for the returning Kieran Tierney. Robinson specifically doubted Celtic's ability to match the wages Malacia could command elsewhere, particularly from Dutch clubs, calling it a "key sticking point." He believes Malacia, a "top quality player," will attract other suitors and that a move back to the Eredivisie seems more likely and financially appealing to him. While Celtic lost Taylor, Kieran Tierney's return provides an immediate upgrade and established starter at left-back. Furthermore, manager Brendan Rodgers has more pressing concerns in attack after losing Nicolas Kuhn (£17.3m to Como) and still needing to replace Kyogo Furuhashi. Rodgers' priority is strengthening the frontline, with Napoli's Giuseppe Ambrosino linked, rather than adding depth at left-back.

Bayer Leverkusen have signed Malik Tillman from PSV Eindhoven for a reported club-record fee of €35 million. The 22-year-old US international returns to the Bundesliga, having previously spent three years at Bayern Munich, and has signed a contract with Leverkusen until 2030. Tillman joins after a successful season at PSV, where he made 34 appearances across all competitions in 2024-25, scoring 16 goals and providing 5 assists to help secure the Eredivisie title. He ranked second at PSV for dribbles completed (42) and joint-fourth for chances created (41) in the league. Remarkably, Tillman ended his PSV tenure with the highest win percentage (85.2% - W46 D4 L4) of any player with 50+ games in Eredivisie history. Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes hailed the signing, stating, "We've gained another strong and very dangerous attacking player," and emphasized Tillman's versatility: "He can play in both the number 10 and the number 8 positions in midfield. Malik is an absolute top signing for us." Tillman also recently contributed significantly to the USMNT's Gold Cup run, scoring three goals and providing two assists before their final defeat to Mexico. The acquisition aims to fill the void created by Florian Wirtz's departure to Liverpool earlier this summer for a reported £116m (€135m). Wirtz was a pivotal figure under Xabi Alonso, making 119 appearances, scoring 38 goals, and providing 43 assists. He played a key role in Leverkusen's historic unbeaten domestic double (Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal) in 2023-24 and followed that with 30 goal involvements (16 goals, 14 assists) last season. He recorded the most assists for Leverkusen and was second only to Alex Grimaldo in chances created (91).

French international full-back Theo Hernandez has officially joined Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal from AC Milan. The 27-year-old signed a three-year contract with the Riyadh-based club, keeping him there until the end of the 2027-28 Roshn Saudi League season. Hernandez brings significant European elite experience to Al Hilal, having spent six successful years at AC Milan. During his time in Italy, he won the 2021-22 Serie A title and the Italian Super Cup earlier this year. The dynamic left-back made 262 appearances for Milan, scoring 34 goals and providing 45 assists. Prior to his time at Milan, Hernandez spent two years at Real Madrid. He was part of the squad that won the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League and the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup. On the international stage, Hernandez debuted for France in 2021 and helped his country win the UEFA Nations League that same year. He was also a runner-up at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, earning a total of 38 caps for France, with his most recent appearance coming in last month's UEFA Nations League. Hernandez will reunite with new Al Hilal manager Simone Inzaghi, with whom he had fierce encounters during the Milan derby when Inzaghi managed Inter Milan.

Upon landing and being approached by reporters at the airport, Bardghji expressed his excitement, stating: "I’m thrilled to sign with Barça, it’s a dream come true."

Lang is joining Napoli in a transfer worth approximately €30 million, as revealed last week. The young winger returns to PSV after spending seven years in the club's youth academy. Van Bommel expressed profound enthusiasm about the move, stating: "I couldn't have written it better than this." He emphasized that playing for PSV's first team fulfilled a long-held aspiration, adding: "To play for PSV 1 myself is secretly something I've always dreamed of. I've always had in my head that if PSV would report, that I would really like to go there."

Chelsea winger Noni Madueke is nearing a £50 million transfer to Arsenal, with manager Mikel Arteta approving the move for the 23-year-old. Despite showing promise during his time at Chelsea, Madueke struggled to secure consistent playing time at Stamford Bridge, leaving some fans feeling he didn't get a full opportunity to demonstrate his abilities. The potential transfer has generated surprise and questions from both sets of supporters. Arsenal fans question the need for another right winger given the presence of world-class talent Bukayo Saka, feeling the funds could be better allocated. Chelsea fans wonder if the club is letting Madueke depart prematurely, though incoming signings like Estevao may necessitate squad space. Analysis focuses on how Madueke might fit into Arteta's team. He will not replace Saka as Arsenal's starting right winger. Instead, speculation centers on whether he could provide competition or cover for left winger Gabriel Martinelli, alongside Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri. While Madueke offers a similarly direct style, his left-footedness raises questions about Arteta potentially altering his wing dynamics by using a left-footer on the left flank. Historical data shows Madueke has limited experience on the left wing (only 11 career appearances). However, he has played there more frequently recently, featuring on the left in eight of his last nine matches for both club and country.
