Report: Leverkusen linked with Djurgårdens left-back
However, Leverkusen are not alone - OGC Nice, Atalanta and a number of other clubs have been scouting the Djurgårdens defender.
The Swedish side, aware of the interest from around Europe, is reportedly demanding a fee of €9million for the 19-year-old left-back.
Ultimately, Djurgårdens would prefer to keep him at least until the end of the season and maybe even until next summer.

No one wants this honour! How a BVB player broke a world record in Essen
The first round of the DFB-Pokal has so far only had a few surprises in store. Will there be a big one today? Borussia Dortmund is challenged by the third division team from Essen. RWE against BVB - wasn't there something?! 🤔 It's already been 17 years since both clubs last met in the DFB-Pokal. Jürgen Klopp made his debut as BVB coach back then and substituted Bajram Sadrijaj for Giovanni Federico in the 71st minute. Not very spectacular. But just 12 seconds later, the BVB talent had to leave the pitch again. Please what?! 🙄! Watch all DFB-Pokal games in the Sky live stream on OneFootball. Every game is available as pay-per-view for €4.99 in our the time, it was the fastest red card in professional football. Sadrijaj had previously completely over-motivated his opponent. "I take 70 percent of the blame for the red card," Klopp said afterwards (quote via ' "Before the substitution, I had asked him to really go for the ball. Although I didn't want Bajram to implement my statement so consistently." The then 21-year-old, who made his professional debut in this game, saw the scene around his red card a bit differently: "I didn't see the scene as dramatic, although it looked pretty bad on TV. I slid frontally towards him, neither stretched nor sideways, and hit him along with the ball. Seeing red right away was a shock - many thought that in other European leagues it would have just been a throw-in." Later, Sadrijaj made his Bundesliga debut - this time without a red card. However, repeated injuries prevented a bigger career. In 2010, his contract was terminated, and according to ' he ended his career in 2017 after stints with lower-class clubs. He also had to give up his record. The Japanese player Tomo Sugawara saw the red card after just nine seconds in a professional game on April 15, 2009.

MLB Rumors: Mariners, Dodgers named suitors for Munetaka Murakami
The post MLB Rumors: Mariners, Dodgers named suitors for Munetaka Murakami appeared first on ClutchPoints. The MLB Hot Stove never fully turns off. It merely just simmers in the background, teasing baseball fans with possibilities from afar until the World Series concludes. Nevertheless, rumors of where Japanese superstar Munetaka Murakami could call his first MLB home are still thriving. Baseball insider Jon Heyman listed the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers among four potential fits for the Japanese slugger, as shared by B/R Walk-Off on X (formerly Twitter) Wednesday. 'Potential fits for Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami, per @JonHeyman: Mariners, Dodgers, Mets, Red Sox,' posted Bleacher Report's baseball focus account on Wednesday. Heyman also listed the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets as fits for Murakami. The 25-year-old could garner one of the biggest contracts in history for a Japanese player if he's posted by the Yakult Swallows, his NPB team. While the Dodgers, Mariners, Red Sox and Mets are all fits, there will definitely be others interested in bringing in the corner infielder. The New York Yankees would be one. The Chicago Cubs, another. If the Swallows decide to let Murakami test the MLB waters, which franchise could reel him in? Dodgers, Mariners, others poised to chase Munetaka Murakami's signature Murakami would help all of these contenders. He can play first and third base, as well as the outfield. The Mariners traded for Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez to help them at the corner infield spots, but Suarez is a free agent after this season. The Dodgers have the aging Max Muncy at the hot corner. The Red Sox could use Murakami at first base, especially if Triston Casas doesn't return from injury at his previous level. As for the Mets, Pete Alonso will be a free agent after the season, while the young duo of Mark Vientos and Brett Baty have failed to impress at third base. In reality, any of these contenders would love to add a bat like Murakami's to the lineup. He's only 25, so any team that signs him would get him during his prime years. Murakami has shown a smooth stroke and great power, most notably helping the Japanese team win the 2023 World Baseball Classic. The fact that he can play two positions (first and third base) considered scarce in talent at the major league level right now is notable as well. Will the slugger call Los Angeles or Seattle home? Or will he remain in Japan for another campaign? Related: Pirates OF gets real on Brewers' insane win streak Related: 1 Padres' player who will make or break 2025 playoff chances

Ian Poulter Pushes Major Champion Teammate to LIV Relegation with Insane End in Indianapolis
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. If the story of Jon Rahm winning the LIV Golf season's individual title without having wona single tournament was interesting, but so was the story of the three Majesticks GC co-captains in danger of being relegated. Ultimately, it fell to Ian Poulter to be the decisive factor in the matter, in the way he least wanted. Poulter entered the 15th hole of the final round at Indianapolis tied for 36th with a score of 8-under for the tournament, cementing his place in the relegation zone. However, the Englishman surprised everyone by birdieing the final four holes, climbing to a tie for 17th and edging his teammate Henrik Stenson by 0.38 points. Henrik Stenson of Sweden and Ian Poulter of England smile on a green during a practice round prior to the 120th U.S. Open Championship on September 15, 2020 at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck,... Henrik Stenson of Sweden and Ian Poulter of England smile on a green during a practice round prior to the 120th U.S. Open Championship on September 15, 2020 at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York. MoreThe Swedish major winner finished the final event of the individual season tied for 22nd, just one stroke behind Poulter. The Englishman rounded out the 48-player field that avoided relegation, while Stenson was the highest-ranked player among those who lost their spot. The other two team members, Sam Horsfield and Lee Westwood, finished ranked 39th and 46th, respectively. Majesticks GC finished 12th in the team standings, so they will have to play every round at next week's Team Championship. According to The Telegraph, relegation will be enforced strictly this season, so Stenson and the rest of the relegated players will have to seek their return to LIV Golf through the Asian Tour's International Series or the Promotions Event. Ian Poulter has just made 4 birdies in a row to climb OUT of the LIV Golf League relegation zone and directly push his team mate and Majesticks co captain Henrik Stenson into it. The Postman always delivers when his back is against the wall. What a wild finish! — Flushing It (@flushingitgolf) August 17, 2025 LIV Golf has a history of doing exactly the opposite. Just a year ago, Bubba Watson and Branden Grace were re-signed by their teams after being relegated without any kind of qualification. Five other players were relegated along with Stinson. They are Andy Ogletree of HyFlyers GC, Mito Pereira of Torque GC, Yubin Jang of IronHeads GC, Frederik Kjettrup of Cleeks GC, and Anthony Kim, who played as a wild card. It's noteworthy that both Jang and Kjettrup arrived in the league just this year on direct contracts from their teams. Stenson is one of the most important players in his country's history, and also one of the most important names in European golf during the first two decades of the 21st century. His resume includes 22 professional victories, including six on the PGA Tour and 11 on the DP World Tour, with victory in the 2016 Open Championship being the greatest highlight of his career.
