Aston Villa 'prepared to sell' Celtic-linked attacker
The attacker was linked with a switch to Parkhead at the beginning of the year, although he ultimately penned a new deal at Villa before being sent out on loan to Hull City. Read more: He could be on the move once more this summer. Indeed, as they look to avoid falling foul of strict Premier League PSR rules, Villa are 'prepared to sell' Barry before next Monday, claims HullLive. News of his potential departure from Villa Park is said to have alerted numerous clubs from across the English Championship. In January, it was reported that Celtic were 'set' to lodge a seven-figure offer for Barry, yet nothing came to fruition. It remains to be seen whether they'll return to the table for the 22-year-old this summer. Barry scored 16 goals in 24 games in an impressive loan spell at Stockport County at the beginning of the year. In other news, Shaun Maloney has recently been appointed as Celtic's new Professional Player Pathway Manager, replacing Darren O'Dea. "It is a huge honour to be given this opportunity to return to Celtic," Maloney told after taking the role. "My aim will be to work really closely between our Academy and the First Team and create the very best opportunities for success, which will ultimately be represented by more and more players reaching our first team environment. "I have been fortunate enough to follow this same pathway, and I am now excited about ensuring many more young players can take this same journey."

The Celtic duo Brendan Rodgers isn't 'satisfied with'
The latter was brought in last summer for £6 million from Sheffield United. Read more: Although Trusty soon got a run of games under his belt, towards the end of the campaign, he lost his place in the team to Scales, the man he was initially bought to displace. Mulgrew, therefore, believes Rodgers isn't entirely convinced by either: "I get the feeling that he's not completely satisfied with Trusty or Scales," said the ex-Celtic utility man [RecordSport]. "But then it can change. "I really like Scales. Trusty's shown he can be a good player as well. They'll come back this pre-season and they might just hit the ground running. "The way football works, they could be the main centre-back next year. Football's a mad game. "It happened to myself. The year I got Player of the Year, I came back and I wasn't in the team for the first two games. "Then I played the majority at centre-back and got Player of the Year in Scotland. Anything can happen. "I'm sure Brendan Rodgers will be assessing that and seeing who's the best fit to play. "That's the good thing about Brendan Rodgers, he's always keeping people on their toes by knowing if they don't perform, they'll be replaced. "As a player, you want to be kept on your toes and not be resting your laurels."

Jake Paul vs Julio César Chávez Jr: Tips, odds, and betting predictions
SEVEN months after his controversial fight with Mike Tyson, Jake Paul is lacing up his gloves once again. The Problem Child will come face-to-face with former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr in Anaheim, California, in what will be one of the toughest tests of his career to date. Join us as we take a look at the fight and select the best bets to place on Jake Paul vs Chávez Jr this weekend. 🥊 Jake Paul vs Julio César Chávez Jr odds Despite Chávez's experience, it is clear the former champion is past his best, and this is reflected in the odds, with SBK pricing Jake Paul as the clear favourite. Jake Paul vs Julio César Chávez Jr fight outcome odds The method of victory markets provide punters with more flexibility, offering excellent odds on César Chávez winning by point and by decision with Betfred. Is Jake Paul getting KO'd? There is no denying that Jake Paul has improved in the ring since his first fight in 2020, even winning over some boxing fans thanks to his wins against boxers like Andre August and Ryan Bourland. However, many still believe he is avoiding difficult fights, and that while Chavez is undoubtedly a step up from his previous opponents, he has not been at his best for a long time. You can expect a strong display from Paul at the weekend. His publicity-stunt fight against Mike Tyson in November last year backfired on him somewhat, with many calling The Problem Child out for essentially beating up an old man. Paul will look to regain some of the respect he lost there with a confident performance in California. Stats: Is Chavez Jr going to be a problem for 'The Problem Child?' Julio Chavez Jr is undoubtedly going to be the biggest test of Jake Paul's career. At one point, Chavez Jr was earmarked to be one of the brightest stars in boxing. The wheels come off a little in the second half of his career, though. After losing to Sergio Martinez in 2012, the former WBC middleweight champion has lost six out of 14 fights and has only fought once since 2021. Notably, Chavez Jr came up short in a crossover bout with UFC legend Anderson Silva in June 2021. Paul and Silva met a little over 12 months later, with Paul coming out on top by unanimous decision. Chavez is far from his best, and these kinds of results highlight that. Stats: 👉 Paul vs Chavez Jr betting tips With the outright markets not offering much value on Saturday night, I have picked the following three bets as the best to place on Jake Paul vs Julio César Chávez Jr on Saturday night. Jake Paul KO/TKO/DQ Jake Paul is the heavy favourite for Saturday's fight, coming in at 2/11 with SBK. This might surprise some people, but it is not really a surprise when you look at Chavez's record over the last decade. The former champ's best days are behind him, and he is getting an easy paycheck here. Paul will want to display his power here and will see a stoppage victory on Saturday as a serious statement of his boxing credentials. Whether the boxing world does, though, is another matter. Fight not to go the distance Three of Jake Paul's last four fights have not gone the distance, with The Problem Child scoring stoppage victories over Mike Perry, Ryan Bourland, and Andre August. Chavez is undoubtedly a step-up from these, but Paul's size and raw power are going to prove too much for the Mexican star. ➡️ Back the fight not to go the distance at 5/4 with Betfred Julio César Chávez Jr by points If you are considering backing Chavez to have his hand raised at the end of the night, then backing him to win by decision at 12/1 with Betfred offers excellent value. Chavez has only secured two stoppage victories in his last 14 fights, and as he approaches 40, there will be questions about whether he has the power to take out a younger fighter like Paul. However, he certainly possesses the ring IQ and skill to outbox him, and if he comes into Saturday's fight looking for redemption, a boxing masterclass against the sport's most controversial star would certainly be a big step in the right direction. ➡️ Bet on Chávez Jr to win by decision at 12/1 with Betfred 📺 How to watch Jake Paul vs Julio César Chávez Jr Location: Honda Centre, Anaheim, California Date and time: 28th June local, 29th June UK - Ring walks expected 4 am UK How to watch: DAZN PPV, £24.99 in the UK Jake Paul vs Julio César Chávez Jr undercard The most interesting fight on this weekend's undercard pits Gilberto Ramirez against Yuniel Dorticos. Ramirez will put his WBO cruiserweight title on the line following his victory over Chris Billam-Smith in Riyadh last year. Ramirez is looking to score a first stoppage victory in four years, and is heavy favourite for the match, with BetVictor pricing him at 1/9 and his opponent at 11/2. Holly Holm's long-awaited return to the ring will also take place in California this weekend. Holm will lace up her boxing gloves for the first time in 12 years when she takes on Yolanda Vega. While Holm has not had a professional bout since 2013, she has been one of the most dominant forces in the UFC over the last decade and will look to prove she still has it with a strong performance against Vega.
