Real Betis eye loan move for Manchester United's Jadon Sancho
Real Betis are weighing up a loan move for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho.
According to Fichajes.net, the Spanish club are exploring the loan market again after a successful short-term deal brought Antony to Seville last season.

Club officials believe manager Manuel Pellegrini could work similar wonders with Sancho in a less pressurised environment.
Sancho, 25, is due back at United on 1 July, with Chelsea opting not to make his loan move permanent.
The London side failed to reach agreement over personal terms, despite the deal including an obligation to buy worth up to £25 million.
During his season-long stay, Sancho helped Chelsea secure fourth place in the Premier League and scored in the UEFA Conference League final, ironically against Betis.
His contribution improved his reputation after a difficult start to life at United.

Post-match comments suggested Sancho was open to remaining at Stamford Bridge. 'From now on is when we sit down with the club and decide about next year,' he told TNT Sports after the final in Athens.
Despite Chelsea's appreciation for Sancho's role in a strong finish to the campaign, the financial terms of a permanent deal proved prohibitive.
That opens the door for clubs like Betis, who are hoping United will sanction another temporary move.
Sancho joined United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for £85 million, but has struggled for consistency. A high-profile falling out with Erik ten Hag saw him exiled from the first-team squad before his loan switch in August.

He has made 83 appearances for United, scoring 12 goals, but his career in Manchester has been defined more by potential than output. Moments of brilliance — such as goals against Tottenham and Ipswich, have been the exception rather than the rule.
A loan move to Betis would give Sancho the chance to reset in a competitive but less intense setting.
The La Liga side see the England international as a potentially transformative figure under Pellegrini's guidance.
With United open to finding a solution for a player on high wages and Sancho eager to play regularly, Betis' interest could soon turn into a formal proposal.

Rookies Dallas Mavericks Should Target to Pair With Cooper Flagg in Trade Scenario
Rookies Dallas Mavericks Should Target to Pair With Cooper Flagg in Trade Scenario originally appeared on Athlon Sports. This Wednesday, players from all over the world will be waiting with bated breath to find out if their name will be called to join the elite in the NBA. The Dallas Mavericks own the first overall pick and are widely expected to draft the most talented player in this year's draft, Cooper Flagg from Duke. Advertisement However, the Mavericks have not been shy about their need for a point guard. Moreover, if they are taking a page out of the success of the Indiana Pacers, they are going to look for a guard who can create shots for both his teammates and himself. Rafael Barlowe, the co-host of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, said on a recent episode of their podcast that the Mavericks may be exploring ways to get back into the first round. If they are able to do this, they may consider drafting one of the following, should they be available. Nolan Traore, G France Nolan Traore, a 6-3 guard out of France, is widely considered to be one of the top prospects in this draft. If you take his stats from this past year, where he played for Saint-Quentin, and look at them per 36 minutes of play, he would have averaged 18.5 points, 8.1 assists, and 2.8 rebounds. Advertisement Two of the drawbacks with Traore are his shooting percentage from 3, and his turnover numbers. He struggled to shoot the ball from deep last year, logging a mere 30.4 percent from behind the arc. He also averaged 2.5 turnovers per game. These are areas that the Mavericks coaching staff would need to work with him on if he is going to take the reins until the possible return of Kyrie Irving. Nique Clifford, G/F Colorado State Nique Clifford is an intriguing prospect. A 6-6 guard from Colorado State is both a playmaker and a shooter. Last season, he averaged a career-high 18.9 points per game. He also contributed with 9.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. He proved he can score at any level, averaging 49.6 percent from the floor as a whole and 37.7 percent from behind the arc. Advertisement Clifford could definitely be a great fit for the Mavericks as either a tall guard or if the opposing team is playing a small-ball lineup, he could slide down and play the small forward position and still be effective on the defensive end. He is also one of the older players in the draft, and his maturity may make him an instant plug-and-play type of player. Walter Clayton Jr, G Florida Walter Clayton Jr, fresh off the Florida Gators' national championship run, is another intriguing prospect that the Mavericks could target late in the first round. He is a 6-3 guard who can score at will, but also can facilitate the offense. He will do whatever is necessary for the team to win. Advertisement He averaged 18.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game, while shooting a scorching 44.8 percent from the floor. He also shot nearly 38..6 percent from deep. He is a guard who could contribute and fit what the Mavericks need right away as someone to facilitate the offense, but occasionally knock down shots if needed. The Dallas Mavericks' offense last season, especially after the injury to Kyrie Irving, looked very stagnant at times. There seemed to be a thought process of getting Anthony Davis the ball, and then standing around and watching him try to score. They have to find someone who can get open shots for their scorers like Klay Thompson and PJ Washington Jr. Clayton Jr could very well fit that mold.

Advertisement Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has been at the centre of transfer rumours recently. Reportedly, Turkish champions Galatasaray are keen to sign the 31-year-old. However, there has not been an offer to Inter yet. At least officially. Rather, reports indicate that Galatasaray have been in direct contact with Calhanoglu and his representatives. The Istanbul giants could aim to convince the former AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder on the move initially. Then approach Inter formally. Inter President Marotta: 'No Offers For Calhanoglu, Only Rumours' MUNICH, GERMANY – APRIL 08: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale controls the ball during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Quarter Final First Leg match between FC Bayern München and FC Internazionale Milano at Fussball Arena Muenchen on April 08, 2025 in Munich, Germany.

Advertisement 'His participation in training has been very professional,' he added. 'There's absolutely nothing negative that we can attribute to him. He's here with us.' 'Then on the other hand, there are the rumours. Which maybe originate from other sources.' 'But at the moment we haven't received any official offers from anyone,' Marotta made clear. 'Therefore, Calhanoglu is 100% an Inter player.' Meanwhile, Marotta also updated on Inter's reported negotiations to sign Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. 'Maybe he won't be here in the United States,' the Nerazzurri President said. Inter are in the US for the Club World Cup this month.
