Inter Milan Outcast Turns Down Botafogo Move – In Contact With Two Premier League Clubs
This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. They report that the Iranian international's representatives are in contact with two clubs in the Premier League.
Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi has been at the centre of a number of transfer rumours in recent weeks.
The 33-year-old had a very underwhelming first season at Inter. Therefore, there is a widespread feeling that he will be on his way after just one year at the club.
There have been plenty of clubs to show an interest in Taremi's signature.
All of Besiktas, Porto, West Ham United, Fulham, and Leeds United reportedly see the Iranian as a target.
However, a new name as also entered the mix. Brazilian club Botafogo are reportedly keen on a surprise swoop for Taremi.

Reportedly, Botafogo are preparing to make an offer both to Mehdi Taremi and to Inter.
The Brazilian club are hoping that they can convince the striker both with their project on the pitch, and with wages.
However, SportMediaset report, Taremi himself would not be keen on the move.
The 33-year-old's priority is still to remain in Europe.
Therefore, Taremi would be much more inclined towards a move to the Premier League.
And according to Mediaset, the Iranian's agents have been in contact with two clubs in the English top flight recently.

Son to MLS! LAFC Reportedly Reaches Verbal Agreement With Tottenham Legend
MLS Son to MLS! LAFC Reportedly Reaches Verbal Agreement With Tottenham Legend Updated Aug. 3, 2025 6:41 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Major League Soccer will soon be home to another global icon, as Tottenham Hotspur legend and South Korean superstar Son Heung-min has reached a verbal agreement to join Los Angeles FC, according to multiple reports. Son announced his decision to leave Tottenham after 10 years in an emotional press conference on Saturday. Son had his farewell with the club on Sunday with his teammates, Newcastle players and almost 65,000 fans at Seoul World Cup Stadium. The pre-season friendly in South Korea between the Premier League teams ended 1-1, with the high point being Son's second-half exit in likely his last game for Tottenham. The 33-year-old captain was surrounded by both sets of players before eventually sitting on the bench in tears. ADVERTISEMENT Son scored 173 goals in 454 games for the London club but was unable to find the target in what Frank said is likely to be his last appearance. His trademark "camera" goal celebration was, however, borrowed by Brennan Johnson who put Tottenham ahead after four minutes with a low shot from the edge of the area.

Sky Sports Provide Update on Liverpool's Pursuit of Alexander Isak
Liverpool Remain Firm in Pursuit of Isak as Negotiations Edge Forward Liverpool Continue Push for Alexander Isak Liverpool are not walking away. Despite having an opening bid of £110 million turned down by Newcastle United, the Merseyside club remain keen on securing the services of Alexander Isak. The Sweden international, one of the standout forwards in the Premier League last season, has returned to training in England, as reported by David Ornstein, an update that only fuels further speculation. This is not a saga Liverpool intend to lose. While Newcastle have projected the image of a club unwilling to sell, those within the corridors of Anfield sense an opportunity. Isak's quality is not in question. He blends power, precision and composure with a striker's instinct that is increasingly hard to find at the highest level. For Arne Slot, a manager now tasked with defending a league title, the forward would represent both a statement and a solution. Newcastle's Position Strong but Not Unmoveable Newcastle are understandably wary of optics. Selling one of their best players to a direct rival, particularly so early in their own project under Eddie Howe, risks backlash unless the fee is undeniably substantial. Hence the reported asking price of £150 million. Photo IMAGO It is a towering figure, but one that may be more negotiation tactic than outright expectation. As Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany reports, Liverpool are not walking away from the table, and it seems only a matter of time before a second bid is launched. There is belief within the recruitment setup, led by Richard Hughes, that a deal could be struck for closer to £130–140 million. That may prove enough to satisfy Newcastle's need to be seen resisting firmly while ultimately doing business on their own terms. Timing Points Towards Progress Some observers have noted that Isak's return to training may signal a reconciliation with Newcastle. Others are not so sure. Context is key. Newcastle have already made moves for a replacement, showing firm interest in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. That interest suggests planning, not panic. A new number nine would not arrive as backup, it would come as a strategic replacement. Photo: IMAGO With that in mind, Isak's reappearance at the training ground could be less about commitment and more about practicality. As Liverpool continue to monitor the situation, it becomes harder to argue that this story is going away. Slot's Plans Could Hinge on One More Signing Isak would not be arriving to fill a gap but to elevate Liverpool's attacking line. With uncertainty around Darwin Núñez's role, and questions about long-term depth up front, the Swedish forward would offer Slot variety and reliability in equal measure. A fluid front three, with Isak flanked by Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz or Cody Gakpo, is one that could carry weight across all competitions. With pre-season already underway, Liverpool will want clarity sooner rather than later. For now, the club remain composed, confident in their approach and unwilling to panic. But with each day that passes, the feeling grows that this pursuit has substance, and may not end until Isak is wearing red.

Angela Hill: 'I'm right there' for title shot with UFC on ESPN 72 win vs. Iasmin Lucindo
Angela Hill might be 40, but she still thinks her most glorious MMA moments still are on the horizon. Longtime octagon veteran Hill (18-14 MMA, 13-14 UFC) will take on 23-year-old Iasmin Lucindo (17-6 MMA, 4-2 UFC) on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 72, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas (ESPN, ESPN+). With three victories in her past four fights, Hill sees herself on an upward trajectory in the strawweight division. She has no thoughts about retirement, and argues that beating a promising prospect who is 17 years her junior would be a statement about where she fits in the weight class. "I think I've really expanded the idea of what the window could be," Hill told MMA Junkie Radio. "I think just keeping that momentum going and see how long I can push it, see how good I can get, how high I can climb. I'm motivated by the close decisions I've lost because I feel like in an alternate universe, I would've fought for the belt by now. "It's more so the motivation of showing the potential I have before it's too late. That drives me every time I get in there. Now that I've been in the top 15 for a few years, I know I'm right there." Lucindo has had a quick rise through the 115-pound division, already racking up wins over former title challenger Karolina Kowalkiewicz and longtime contender Marina Rodriguez. The Brazilian is coming off a setback against Amanda Lemos at UFC 313 in March, and although Hill also has a loss to Lemos, she said it was much more competitive. Hill is not relying on MMA math to get the job done, but she sees vulnerabilities in Lucindo's game, and intends to take advantage. "If I'm fighting someone that likes to stand and bang, I'm like, 'Oh yeah, we're going to get that money,'" Hill said. "It's also nice because there's more opportunities to take advantage of someone with less experience. I feel like with her, because she's a little wild, because she comes in swinging wide and tries to throw big, there's moments where I can capitalize on that. I'm definitely excited."
