Liverpool star has 'no intention' to renew deal amid transfer interest
Diaz has 'no intention' of extending his stay at Anfield Diaz's future at Liverpool has been uncertain for a while now, and interest from Barcelona and the Saudi Pro League only complicates matters. The Colombian remains on the same terms he agreed when he swapped Porto for Merseyside in 2022 and doesn't find himself among the club's top earners. Advertisement The electric forward's desire for an increased wage is no secret, but a report from Sport Witness has now claimed that he has 'no intention' of renewing his contract with Liverpool whilst a move to Barcelona remains a possibility. Talks over a new deal have been reported for a while and no progress seems to have been made, so it may be the case that Diaz's head has already been turned by the La Liga champions. Is Diaz to Barca possible? Although there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding Diaz's current Anfield deal, he is actually under contract with the Premier League Champions until 2027, so the Reds are under very little pressure to sell this summer. Advertisement As such, a reported asking price of around €70-80 million has been set and this could be a stumbling block for Barca. Liverpool look set to have one of the biggest summers in the club's history. Jeremie Frimpong has already arrived and deals for Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz look like real possibilities. The Reds' big spend on incomings could encourage them to cut Barcelona a deal for Diaz, but the club are by no means desperate to offload the Colombian and any deal will likely be for a sizeable fee. If Diaz truly is a top priority for Barca it seems likely a deal could be agreed this summer, but it doesn't feel like the Colombian's time at Anfield is done for definite just yet.

Cristiano Ronaldo to remain at Al-Nassr following fresh agreement
Cristiano Ronaldo to remain at Al-Nassr following fresh agreement Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to sign a new two-year contract with Saudi Pro League (SPL) club Al-Nassr, according to Foot Mercato. There were rumours about Ronaldo joining Saudi rivals Al-Hilal or Al-Ahli, which intensified after he posted a cryptic message on Twitter. The post raised doubts about whether he would continue with Al-Nassr beyond this season. Advertisement However, Ronaldo is set to extend his stay at Al-Nassr until 2027. This new contract would keep him in Saudi Arabia beyond his 42nd birthday. Ronaldo ends the season as the top scorer but without a trophy The former Real Madrid star had another strong season in front of goal, bagging 35 goals and four assists across all competitions. Ronaldo finished the league season with 25 goals in 30 matches. He won the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot for the second year running. Despite his individual success, Al-Nassr endured a disappointing campaign. The club finished third in the league, falling short in their pursuit of the title. Advertisement They were also eliminated in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League by Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale and missed out on the Saudi Super Cup and the King's Cup. Despite this, the Portuguese forward's commitment to the project appears strong. His goal return remains impressive, and he continues to deliver at a decent level. If the deal goes through as expected, SPL fans can look forward to watching Ronaldo for another two years. His continued presence in the league will also help maintain global interest in the SPL.

Rangers' slumbering bats come alive in 11-1 victory over Cardinals
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Marcus Semien hit a two-run homer and matched his career high with four hits, Jack Leiter pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings for the first time in 15 major league starts and the Texas Rangers routed the St. Louis Cardinals 11-1 on Friday night. Leiter (4-2) allowed three singles and matched a career high with six strikeouts, throwing a career-high 96 pitches. Semien drove in three runs. He was 10 for 70 in his previous 21 games. Sam Haggerty tied his career best with three hits and had three RBIs, Josh Jung also had three hits and three RBIs, and Wyatt Langford hit a two-run home run. Haggerty scored the first of his three runs on a first-inning single by Josh Jung that ended a team-wide 0-for-30 drought. The Rangers (28-30) went into play last in the AL in batting average and runs. They were held to three runs in their previous three games, shut out Wednesday and hitless after Josh Smith's leadoff single in the first inning. Caleb Boushley pitched the final three innings for first career save. The Rangers prevented the Cardinals (32-25) from going nine games over .500 for the first time this season. They had 15 hits, three shy of their season high. Lars Nootbaar doubled home Victor Scott II with the Cardinals' run in the eighth inning. Matthew Liberatore (3-4) allowed five runs in the first two innings, one unearned. Haggerty's two-run triple in the second inning sliced into the right-field corner off a 3-2 pitch. Texas' pitching isn't a problem. Its 2.81 rotation ERA leads the majors. Cardinals RHP Sonny Gray (5-1, 4.06 ERA) was set to start Saturday against LHP Patrick Corbin (3-3, 3.75).
