The 2004-born Roma midfielder is considered one of the most interesting young players in Italy, and given his characteristics, he could provide continuity should Davide Frattesi leave. However, the path seems far from straightforward.

The group of players, which includes world number ones Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, had said they would limit their media activity to 15 minutes both pre-tournament and following their matches in the first week.

Reports over recent days have indicated that the French champions are in a strong position to land the 19-year-old, who is understood to favour a move to the Parc des Princes.

Meyer Shank Racing is looking to replace Felix Rosenqvist in 2027. Rosenqvist will not return to the No. 60 car for Meyer Shank Racing despite winning the 2026 Indianapolis 500. The organization is disappointed by the development; however, it could have its eyes on an NTT IndyCar Series star.
Christian Lundgaard could be one of the drivers who receives a call from Meyer Shank Racing, as reported by FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass. Lundgaard could be on the market if Scott Dixon leaves Chip Ganassi Racing for another big-time organization like Arrow McLaren.

Records are funny in their own way. They spark debates across generations of Baltimore Ravens fans. They give one era bragging rights over another. Most importantly, they preserve the accomplishments of the players who helped build a franchise. Eventually, however, every record becomes vulnerable. That’s the beauty of sports. Records are made to be broken, as they say, and as the Ravens prepare for another season with Lamar Jackson under center, one of the organization’s most recognizable offensive records could soon belong to the two-time MVP.

It would seem that Arrow McLaren is the likely favorite if Dixon opts to leave Chip Ganassi Racing after 2026, as reported by FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass. It is uncertain if Dixon will actually leave the IndyCar organization, but if he does, McLaren should be knocking on the door.

Credit to The Athletic for the original information, because this is the kind of transfer update that changes the mood of a summer almost instantly.

Yan Diomande, one of the most exciting young forwards in Europe, has chosen Paris Saint-Germain as his preferred next destination if he leaves RB Leipzig this summer. For Liverpool, that lands with the dull weight of a missed opportunity.

Too much expert advice? This is how Nagelsmann responds
For the first time since the 2014 World Cup, when Germany became world champions, the DFB team is back in the knockout stage. Despite the 1-2 defeat against Ecuador, there was still plenty of criticism of the team’s style of play and attitude. 
The national coach addressed this at the press conference in the early hours of Monday ahead of the game against Paraguay. “I don’t feel that I have any obligation as national coach to prove anything to others. We’re happy when all the fans support us.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Yesterday’s cricket matches (June 28, 2026) had plenty of action and emotions from overwhelming joy to heartbreaks. 
England captain Ben Stokes announced his retirement from cricket during a Test match.
Ireland stunned back-to-back world champions India again to clinch a historic T20I series.

Tilak Varma’s fighting half-century was one of the few positives for India in their dramatic one-run defeat to Ireland in the second T20I on Sunday, but the left-hander also found himself on an unwanted list after registering one of the slowest fifties by an Indian in T20 Internationals.
Walking in with India in deep trouble after a top-order collapse, Tilak reached his half-century in 45 deliveries during the chase of 155 at Stormont.

Jarren Duran tries to get away from the ice bat

Jason Benetti, Roger Clemens and Will Middlebro

BOSTON — Instant reactions as Sonny Gray pitches 7 ⅓ no-hit innings, the Red Sox (36-46) blow a late lead — and then rally for a crazy, dramatic 5-4, 10-inning win to finish off a four-game sweep of the Yankees on Sunday night:
1) What looked like one of the worst losses imaginable turned into perhaps Boston’s best win of the year. The Yankees rallied back from a 2-0 deficit in the bottom of the ninth to score four unanswered runs, but the Red Sox punched back with a three-run 10th-inning rally and won the game on a Jarren Duran walk-off single.

Jimmie Johnson had an outstanding weekend in San Diego. Johnson ran the NASCAR Cup and Truck Series races in San Diego, and he was actually competitive. In the Truck Series event, the seven-time Cup Series champion led laps on pure speed before issues derailed his day. Meanwhile, the Cup Series was less competitive.
Following the weekend, Johnson jumped on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio and addressed his racing future. Will Johnson return for another Truck Series race during the 2026 season? Don’t count on it.

Some things never get old. Sunny weather, winning cash prizes, and the end of a work week are some examples. However, trolling Michigan football beats them all if you are an Ohio State fan, and that’s why Buckeye fans love them some Appalachian State.
Of course, you know the story by now if you have Scarlet and Gray in your wardrobe. Heck, if you follow college football at all, the story is like a Disney classic, a tale as old as time (sorry, ‘Little Mermaid’).
