Moreover, the broadcaster report that Botafogo's strategy is to sound out a move with the player and his camp rather than Inter, initially.
The Brazilian want to convince Taremi on the deal first. Then, with an agreement with the 33-year-old, they could approach Inter.
Taremi's wages at Inter would represent an obstacle. However, ESPN report that Botafogo are 'optimistic' that they can make it work.

Inter keeping an eye on Morten Frendrup and Mandela Keita
Serie A giants Inter are keeping an eye on Genoa's Morten Frendrup and Parma star Mandela Keita. La Gazzetta dello Sport report today that the Nerazzurri are considering the sale of Piotr Zielinski. While getting a new club for him is difficult because of his age, contract and injury history across the previous season, Cristian Chivu wants a midfielder who is a ball-winner. As a result, Inter are keeping an eye on Frendrup. They have already inquired about the Dane when Inter spoke to Genoa about Valentin Carboni some weeks ago. Piero Ausilio has been monitoring him closely for a year now and the midfielder's current valuation is at €20 million. Keita's valuation at Parma is quite the same. Chivu likes the Belgian from his time at Parma and everything can now hinge on Inter's sales and how much they invest in Ademola Lookman. Balancing incomings and outgoings will help them sign another midfielder. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

Disgruntled 49ers WR may have indicated a new contract is coming
It doesn't sound like any issue Jauan Jennings has with his contract impacted his first practice of training camp. Jennings according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter would be seeking either a trade or a new long-term contract with the 49ers after finishing last season as their leading wide receiver. He's on track to hold onto that role for at least the start of the 2025 campaign. Despite not having a new deal in place, Jennings played the part of the San Francisco 49ers' top wide receiver on the first day of camp according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Wagoner on Twitter ran through some notes from Day 1 of camp and mentioned Jennings' performance: While Jennings would be/is justified in wanting an extension, he doesn't seem to be letting it interfere with his preparation. He caught three passes on four targets and appeared to draw a flag on another (had a bad angle on new fields, hence "appeared to"). He also led every receiver drill, which is what you'd expect from the player who as of right now is the team's clear cut No. 1 wideout. Perhaps Jennings is just the kind of person who's going to practice like normal instead of holding in or holding out. However, this could also be an indication that there's some sort of deal in the works and Jennings feels like he can push it over the finish line by participating as though there's nothing wrong off the field. Either way, it's becoming evident why the 49ers like Jennings and why they should extend him even if it means creating a small financial obstacle in the future. They can't just give him the first dollar figure he asks for, but his performance last season and his approach to his first practice of camp should be motivation enough for the 49ers to find a sweet spot on an extension for their breakout star of the 2024 article originally appeared on Niners Wire: Jauan Jennings contract didn't affect 49ers 1st day of training camp

Knicks Set To Hire Mike Brown As New Head Coach
Knicks Set To Hire Mike Brown As New Head Coach originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The New York Knicks are closing in on their next head coach, and it's a name with both pedigree and championship experience. According to senior ESPN insider Shams Charania, the Knicks are expected to hire two-time NBA Coach of the Year Mike Brown to lead the franchise into its next phase. After a month-long search following the surprising firing of Tom Thibodeau, Knicks president Leon Rose appears to have made his choice. Brown brings with him a wealth of experience, having coached across three decades in the NBA. He is a four-time NBA champion as an assistant, winning titles with the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs under Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich. His resume includes guiding teams with elite defensive identities, but his most recent accomplishment was shaping the Sacramento Kings into an offensive juggernaut in 2022–23, the top-rated offense in the NBA that season. His time in Sacramento ended unexpectedly in December 2024, when the Kings fired him midseason. The decision was widely criticized across the league, with many believing Brown was unfairly dismissed despite his efforts to transform a perennial lottery team into a playoff contender. Now, just months later, he lands in the biggest market in the league with a chance to coach one of the most promising rosters in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are coming off their best season in over two decades. They finished third in the East with a 51–31 record and made their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years. However, after losing to the Indiana Pacers in six games, the front office shocked fans and analysts by firing Tom Thibodeau. While the move raised eyebrows, it was clearly the beginning of a vision shift and now, Mike Brown will be tasked with building upon that momentum. Brown inherits a deep, talented, and versatile roster. Jalen Brunson has emerged as a true superstar and leader of the team, while Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges bring scoring and spacing. OG Anunoby and Josh Hart offer elite perimeter defense and hustle, giving Brown a core group tailor-made for two-way basketball. The challenge will be to balance that defensive identity with a modernized, efficient offense, something Brown has proven capable of managing. New York's coaching search was exhaustive. Leon Rose reportedly requested permission to interview five sitting NBA head coaches but was denied each time. The front office then pivoted to multi-round interviews with several free-agent candidates. Brown impressed throughout and was seen as the best blend of experience, flexibility, and leadership. This hire signals a strong belief in the current roster's ability to contend now, without blowing up the foundation built under Thibodeau. Brown's reputation as a steady presence, with championship acumen and locker room respect, could be exactly what the Knicks need to clear the next hurdle: reaching the NBA Finals. As the Knicks aim to build on their 2025 success, Mike Brown will be at the helm, poised to guide a hungry, rising squad through the East's gauntlet. This story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
