Man City signs left back Aït-Nouri from Wolves ahead of Club World Cup
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City signed Algeria left back Rayan Aït-Nouri from Wolverhampton for a reported fee of 37 million euros ($42 million) on Monday. City has been deploying center backs Nathan Ake and, more recently, Josko Gvardiol at left back in recent seasons but now has a specialist option in Aït-Nouri, who is a very attacking full back. The 23-year-old Aït-Nouri joined Wolves from French team Angers in 2020. His contract at City runs to 2030 and he will be available for the new-look, 32-team Club World Cup, which starts on Saturday. City is in the same group as Juventus, Al Ain and Wydad Casablanca and its first match is on June 18. ___ AP soccer:

Bengals to release linebacker Germaine Pratt, saving $5.6M on salary cap, AP sources say
The Cincinnati Bengals are releasing linebacker Germaine Pratt, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the move has not been announced. NFL Network first reported Pratt's release. The move comes on the eve of the Bengals mandatory minicamp, which starts Tuesday. The move gives the Bengals $5.6 million in salary cap savings. Pratt, who was going into the final season of a three-year contract, was one of the longest-tenured Bengals but requested a trade during the offseason. He was a third-round pick in 2019 and started 88 games over six seasons. He was ninth in the NFL last season with 143 tackles, including two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions. Cincinnati has had plenty of questions about the defense during the offseason. It hired Al Golden as coordinator while defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who led the league in sacks last season, has been involved in his own contract dispute. ___ AP NFL:

Inter Milan Proclaims 'We're Proud' To Make Cristian Chivu Coach – Adds 'Our Goals Are The Same As Ever' Beppe Marotta says Inter Milan are 'proud' to name Cristian Chivu as coach, and that his arrival doesn't change the Nerazzurri's goals. Speaking to reporters, via FCInterNews, the Inter President gave his thoughts after the Romanian was officially appointed as the club's new coach. Advertisement Inter Milan have officially confirmed the appointment of Cristian Chivu as their new coach. The Nerazzurri had already decided upon the 44-year-old to replace Simone Inzaghi a few days ago. On Thursday, Inter chose Chivu, concluding a search of a couple days. This search had seen them try for Cesc Fabregas, and also reportedly consider Patrick Vieira. However, in the end, Inter went with Treble-winning former defender Chivu. They called the Romanian, and he agreed to step up. Marotta: 'Inter Proud To Name Cristian Chivu New Coach, Our Goals The Same As Ever' ROME, ITALY – APRIL 28: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of Parma Calcio, looks on prior to the Serie A match between SS Lazio and Parma at Stadio Olimpico on April 28, 2025 in Rome, Italy.

Chivu spent six years as a Nerazzurri player before hanging up his boots. Chivu won the European Treble of the Serie A title, the Champions League, and the Coppa Italia with Inter in the 2009-10 season. Marotta continued that 'I believe modern football clubs must cultivate this connection.' 'Because within this character, there are a lot of positive values.' The Inter President insisted the club are 'satisfied and happy' with their choice to appoint Chivu. And as far as Inter's objectives next season as ever, Marotta said they're 'the same ones as ever.' Advertisement 'The history of Inter says this is the case. Inter participate in competitions to win. Then if someone's better than us, as happened last season, we'll take our hats off to them.' 'However, we have to remember that reaching the top isn't easy,' Marotta stressed. 'Not everyone has reached that far in recent years.'
