Bournemouth defender Senesi targeted by Juventus and Roma
The central defender from Argentina is only under contract until June 2026 and is therefore expected to be sold this summer.

He made the move from Feyenoord to Bournemouth in 2022 for €15m, but only made 19 competitive appearances this season.
It was because of a serious thigh injury that kept him out of action for four months from December 2024 to April 2025.

According to DAZN and Sport Mediaset transfer pundit Orazio Accomando, there is interest from Roma, Juventus and Villarreal, but the Giallorossi are further behind in the running because of their need to make sales and meet Financial Fair Play parameters.
The Bianconeri are also looking at other targets, so Spain would seem a more likely option for the 28-year-old, with Real Sociedad and Villarreal also linked.

Elche's late goal salvages draw with Real Betis on return to La Liga
ELCHE, Spain (AP) — Elche needed a late goal at home against Real Betis to salvage a 1-1 draw in its return to La Liga on Monday after a two-year absence. Germán Valera scored the 81st-minute equalizer from inside the area for the host after Aitor Ruibal put Betis ahead in a breakaway in the 21st. Elche, based in south-eastern Spain, spent three consecutive seasons in the first division — from 2020-21 to 2022-23 — before being relegated in 2023. Manuel Pellegrini's Betis was looking for a good start after finishing sixth last season and securing a place in the Europa League. Barcelona began the defense of its league title with a comfortable 3-0 win at nine-man Mallorca on Saturday, while Atletico Madrid squandered a late lead in a 2-1 loss at Espanyol on Sunday. Real Madrid hosts Osasuna on Tuesday. ___ AP soccer:

USWNT's 1985 team honored 40 years later with limited jersey collection sale
Forty years ago today, the U.S. women's national team's story began with the grit of underdogs, a roster of college players and a sewing kit. On Aug. 18, 1985, a hastily assembled squad of 17 players took the field at the four-team Mundalito soccer tournament in Jesolo, Italy. The 85ers, as they're known now, had trained together for only three days under coach Mike Ryan before taking the pitch. They were so ill-prepared that they had to stitch 'USA' letters onto oversized, hand-me-down men's jerseys the night before the flight. Advertisement 'There were no expectations for that first U.S. women's national team because there was no precedent,' Michelle Akers, FIFA's Player of the Century, world champion, Olympic gold medalist and an original '85er, told The Athletic. 'There was no history, there was no legacy. We didn't know what to expect. They gave us a new pair of cleats and $10 a day per diem. We thought sewing on patches is what we do because that's what we had done our entire playing careers up to that point.' Now, 40 years later, they will finally have a jersey of their own, which was co-designed by all 17 players to reflect their story. Led by Akers, the group of pioneers is taking control of their legacy with the creation of The 85ers LLC, an athlete-owned business powered by Jaymee Messler's (Player's Tribune) Storied Sport. The group is also releasing a memorabilia collection, their first official merchandise, including a jersey, in collaboration with The Realest, an authentication platform for collectibles in sports and entertainment. The jersey was in Akers' head for over a decade, but things got accelerated after they collaborated with Storied Sport. 'I've known Jaymee [Messler] for a long time, and when she introduced me to Michelle (Akers) we instantly clicked. The moment that really hit me was when Michelle told me, 'We didn't even have our own jerseys—they gave us men's jerseys to wear.' For a national team, that just felt unbelievable,' The Realest founder and CEO Scott Keeney told The Athletic. 'We designed something modernized but true to the colors and style of that first game in 1985.' Keeney's team expanded the collection into a full capsule (trading cards, shirts, hats) for fans to connect to that history in different ways. 'It's about taking something that was overlooked at the time and flipping it into a moment of pride.' Advertisement The Realest does not have a traditional licensing deal with the 85ers and Keeney did not disclose details of the revenue share but said 85ers will be able to 'monetize their own story for the very first time.' The collection will also be available for sale on 85ers' website. The national team's existence was largely overlooked in 1985. The group has since begun receiving greater recognition in the past two years, beginning with a 2023 reunion in Asheville, N.C., followed by a 2024 celebration in Kansas City. 'To have these jerseys now available for us with our names on them, created by us for us, is really special,' Akers said. 'It's continuing this legacy that we started 40 years ago, but also hopefully it'll impact other people and bring together the past generations into the future. So that's part of the dream too, but that jersey signifies all of it.' Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle
