Friedkin ready to invest €100 million for three signings

Ryan Friedkin recently reassured Gian Piero Gasperini. How? By guaranteeing a €100 million investment for three high-profile signings who could improve Roma’s squad.

The manager was a bit worried because he wanted to capitalize on the uncertainties of competition from Napoli to AC Milan, including Juventus.

Gasp’s goal is to raise the bar, which is why he wants clarity from the owners, who have responded by holding talks with the agents of Greenwood and Alajbegovic and formalizing the summer training camp.

Yunus Musah offered to Roma

The transfer window is just around the corner, and following Tony D’Amico’s official announcement, Roma is ready to make its decision regarding both incoming and outgoing transfers.

Once the issues surrounding expiring players and UEFA’s FFP restrictions have been resolved, the Giallorossi will also focus on signings to strengthen the squad.

In midfield, a name that could be a good fit for the Roman club is Yunus Musah.

The 2002-born player, on loan to Atalanta from AC Milan last season, is unlikely to remain with the Rossoneri next season.

Brazil begin World Cup bid under tempered hopes, as Morocco test opens Group C

The South Americans are the only ever-present participators in World Cup history, but that record has rarely been in more jeopardy than during a rollercoaster 2026 qualification campaign.
Brazil finished fifth in CONMEBOL’s 10-team table, lost a third of their games, and were beaten home and away by Argentina.

DHARAMSHALA: It’s not often Rohit Sharma cuts a quiet figure in a team setting. On Friday evening, he ambled around the centre square, casually joining fielding drills while others went through a far more intense routine before nets. Rohit has never been the most agile, but his presence has always carried weight. This time, even the familiar banter was missing.
The ODI World Cup in South Africa is still 15 months away, but the three-match series against Afghanistan, starting Saturday, feels like the start of an audition. Rohit, now 39, sits on 282 ODIs, 33 centuries and 11,577 runs.

While the men’s World Cup is undoubtedly commanding the attention of football fans around the world, there is the small matter of the summer transfer window rumbling in the background.
It is the busiest time of the year for incomings and outgoings, and follows in the footsteps of last year’s record-breaking window. That saw £3.11billion ($4.17bn) spent by Premier League clubs and the British record broken by Liverpool’s £125m acquisition of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.

Real Madrid legend could make emotional return in new capacity

Luka Modric’s remarkable playing career could be approaching its final chapter, but his connection with Real Madrid may be far from over.

The Croatian midfielder spent 13 trophy-laden years in Madrid before making the switch to AC Milan at the start of the 2025/26 season.

According to journalist Nicolo Schira, the Croatian midfielder is currently expected to retire from professional football following the 2026 World Cup.

USA and Iran are not in the same group at the 2026 World Cup, but the expanded knockout format still leaves a clear route for them to meet.

For the game to return in 2026, both teams need to survive their groups first, then land on the right side of the knockout bracket.

SEATTLE (AP) — Janelle Salaun had 22 points and five 3-pointers, Gabby Williams added 19 points against her former team, and the Golden State Valkyries held off the Seattle Storm 76-72 on Friday night.
Salaun’s fifth 3-pointer gave Golden State a 69-57 lead with 4:23 remaining. But the Valkyries did not make another field goal, finishing the frame 1 of 16 to allow Seattle back in it.
Seattle cut its deficit to 71-70 and had the ball, but Flau’jae Johnson’s layup attempt rolled off the rim. Golden State guard Tiffany Hayes was fouled with 21.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bo Bichette hit a grand slam and a solo homer and matched a career high with six RBIs, leading the New York Mets to a 7-5 win over the MLB-leading Atlanta Braves on Friday night.
Bichette last drove in six runs in a game on Aug. 4, 2025, as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Bichette hit both his homers, a 383-foot solo shot in the first and a 341-foot slam to right in the second, off Braves starter Spencer Strider (4-2), who left with right arm soreness after facing one batter in the fourth inning.

The White Sox took care of business to earn their eighth straight home win.
Just like dealing with a moody teenager, you never know what you’re going to get with Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki. It seems that half the time he pitches gems, and the other half are absolute duds. Worse for the Dodgers, with Shohei Ohtani out due to knee inflammation the White Sox had a perfect opportunity to steal a win against the defending champions regardless of Roki’s performance.
