Kolo Muani leaves Newcastle waiting as PSG forward wants Juventus return
According to what has been reported by the Corriere dello Sport, Newcastle have turned their attention to the former Frankfurt forward after missing out on Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike. However, the 26-year-old would prefer to play for Juventus, where he spent the second half of last season out on loan.

Juventus patient in Kolo Muani pursuit
Juventus have been linked with another move for Kolo Muani, with the Bianconeri reportedly considering another loan move. However, PSG would like to include an obligation to buy the player at around €40 million as a part of any loan. This may discourage the Old Lady who need to first sell some players in order to spend further.

If Juventus figure out a way to offload Dusan Vlahovic, whose €12 million per season salary eats up a huge chunk of the club's wage bill, they may be more freely able to bring Kolo Muani back to Turin.

Tottenham Hotspur Face Stiff Competition For This Bournemouth Defender: Is He Worth The Fight?
In a recent report, L'Equipe claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are facing stiff competition for Bournemouth defender Ilya Zabarnyi this summer. It has been mentioned that Spurs would have to rival Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle United in the race to land the Ukrainian centre-back this off-season. Zabarnyi's Impressive Form In The Premier League Zabarnyi had a solid campaign at the English club after he put in a string of impressive displays for them on the defensive end of the field. The Ukrainian talent participated in 39 matches for Bournemouth last season, securing one assist in all competitions. The 22-year-old was a rock at the back for the Cherries and deserves credit for making 52 tackles, 33 blocks and 41 interceptions in the Premier League. He was even careful when distributing the ball from inside his half, based on his pass success rate of 82.1% in top-flight football (stats via His current contract at the Vitality Stadium will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for Spurs to sign him on the cheap in this transfer window. ATLANTA, GEORGIA – AUGUST 03: Illya Zabarnyi #27 of AFC Bournemouth plays the ball during the Premier League Summer Series match between AFC Bournemouth and West Ham United FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on August 03, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by) Tottenham Hotspur Are Facing Stiff Competition For Zabarnyi: Is He Worth The Fight? Zabarnyi is a good tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when needed and can use his strong 1.89m frame to dominate the opposition attackers in the air. The Ukrainian sensation excels at playing his way out from the back. He has already got some valuable experience in the Premier League and won't take much time to adjust to life at Tottenham if they can find a way to get a deal done for him. Zabarnyi would add more bite and steel to Spurs head coach Thomas Frank's defence. He is good enough to nail down a regular first-team place at the North London club. At 22, Zabarnyi has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a worthy target for Tottenham to pursue in this transfer window. He would be well worth the fight, so Spurs would be wise to go all out to bring him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this off-season.

US star Chen will not defend Olympic figure skating gold in Italy
Reigning Winter Olympic men's figure skating champion Nathan Chen of the United States says he will not defend his crown at next year's Games in Italy. Chen told the Los Angeles Times in a story published Saturday that he will continue to pursue a medical career rather return to competition next year for the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. "I just want to open doors to kind of see what's the best sort of approach for me," Chen told the newspaper. "And frankly, at this point in time in my life, I've already accomplished enough in skating that I'm quite satisfied with my career." Chen, a six-time US champion, won men's world titles in 2018, 2019 and 2021 and helped the US team capture gold in Beijing in 2022 as well as taking his men's crown. The 26-year-old graduated from Yale University last year and is seeking medical school programs. Known as the "Quad King" for his skill at quadruple jumps, Chen holds the combined world record score of 335.30 from the 2019 Grand Prix Final at Turin. Chen is looking to work in cardiology or oncology. "The basis of being a doctor, I think, is to help people," Chen said. "I think that's something that I didn't necessarily feel as an athlete." js/bb

Sixers legend Bobby Jones ranked No. 18 power forward of all time
Philadelphia 76ers legend Bobby Jones was a key member of the franchise's 1983 title team as one of the best 6th Men in the league. He won the 6th Man of the Year award that season and then averaged 8.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 2.8 assists, and 1.5 blocks in the 1983 playoffs. Overall, Jones spent eight seasons with the Sixers and averaged 10.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks for Philadelphia. His work with the Sixers allowed him to have his No. 24 jersey retired to be honored as one of the franchise's great players. HoopsHype ranked the top 20 power forwards in NBA history and Jones came in ranked No. 18 on the list: One of the first multi-positional wing/big defenders who has become so popular in today's game, Bobby Jones could legitimately defend any position on the floor at a high level, from guards to fellow bigs. Not much of a scorer, but did well as a slasher and as a garbageman around the basket. Jones' impact on the Sixers was obvious as he continued to work on both ends of the floor. If it wasn't for him making all of the little plays, the Sixers probably don't have the same success in terms of winning.
