Released Arsenal star signs for new club
Amanda Ilestedt has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on a free transfer following her release from Arsenal, signing a contract until 2028 with the Frauen‑Bundesliga club. Photo byThe 32‑year‑old centre‑back returned from maternity leave in January and featured in Arsenal's late‑season push before being named in Sweden's squad for this summer's European Championship. Her 78th international cap came in the 2‑0 group stage win against Poland. Frankfurt head coach Niko Arnautis welcomed the signing, saying: 'Amanda has played for many top clubs, knows very well how to win games, and brings with her an outstanding personality. She will help our team enormously with her experience and is a player our younger players, in particular, can look up to.' Photo byIlestedt, who previously played in Germany for Turbine Potsdam and Bayern Munich before spells at Paris Saint‑Germain and then Arsenal, said: 'I'm coming here to win games and win titles. At the same time, I want to use my experience to help the team and give it my all on the pitch so we can be successful together.' Ilestedt joined Arsenal from PSG in 2023 after an impressive World Cup where she was Sweden's joint‑top scorer from centre‑back. She went on to make 23 appearances and scored three goals during her debut season, contributing to Arsenal's Conti Cup triumph. Known for her dominance in the air and composed defending, she quickly became a reliable figure in the squad before stepping away for the birth of her daughter, Mila, in August 2024. Her move to Frankfurt comes at a time when the German club have lost several key players, including Sara Doorsoun, who signed for Angel City FC, Sophia Kleinherne, who signed for Wolfsburg, and Barbara Dunst, who signed for Bayern Munich, leaving Ilestedt to add both experience and leadership to their defence.

🩺 The Athletic: Real Madrid completely overhauls medical department
As reported by Mario Cortegana in The Athletic and Alberto Pereiro on Onda Cero, Real Madrid has begun a complete restructuring of its medical department following a season with a high number of injuries, especially muscular ones, that severely affected key players such as Carvajal and Militao. Dr. Felipe Segura, present at the club since 2021, now assumes full control of the medical area. His leadership is expected to bring cohesion and a renewed focus on injury prevention and treatment, marking a change of course after the criticisms accumulated in previous campaigns. Similarly, Dr. Manuel Arroyo, previously at Granada, has been hired and enjoys a great reputation. With these initiatives, Real Madrid seeks not only to respond to an accumulated physical crisis, in which it suffered more than 50 injuries during the previous season, but to establish a new philosophy of prevention and consistent performance for the upcoming season This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Celtics owner makes offer to purchase the WNBA's Connecticut Sun
With the NBA season still months away from starting, the Boston Celtics' minority owner, Steve Pagliuca, seemed to feel extra ready to be a part of some more basketball. According to reports, Pagliuca and his group made an offer to purchase the Connecticut Sun for $325 million. "The sale price would be the highest ever for a professional women's sports franchise," said Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. Pagliuca's goal in the purchase is said to transition the Sun franchise from Uncasville, Connecticut, to Boston, Massachusetts. This will be the second time the Sun franchise will be relocating. They moved from Orlando, Florida, in 2003. The Sun has yet to win a WNBA championship, but has reached the WNBA Finals four times in its existence, with its last being in 2022. Currently, the Sun is in a rebuilding process with new head coach Rachid Meziane. The team is currently in last place in the WNBA with a 5-21 record. The franchise's current venue, Mohegan Sun Arena, is one of the WNBA's smallest arenas, and the franchise doesn't have a dedicated practice facility for the team. The sale is still in its early stages and would need approval from the WNBA and league governors. A point of conflict has emerged, as the league still has plans to save Boston as a potential expansion city for a team in 2033. "The Sun sent a letter to season ticket-holders, ensuring the club will play at Mohegan Sun Arena in the 2026 season. The Boston group is targeting a 2027 move and would potentially play early season games in Providence to avoid any conflict with Bruins and Celtics playoff games," Gary Washburn wrote in his article detailing the bid. "The WNBA has yet to comment on the potential sale."
