Spanish outlet highlights Atlético Madrid's interest in Woltemade
After just one season at VfB Stuttgart, Nick Woltemade could be on the move again this summer if reports are accurate.
According to the Spanish newspaper "AS," Atlético Madrid is said to be interested in the Swabians' towering marksman.
The report suggests the club from the Spanish capital is willing to sign the German international if they can find a buyer for Correa.
Woltemade's flexibility, coupled with his ability on the ball and clinical edge, are listed as reasons for Atlético's interest.
Whether Woltemade will leave VfB Stuttgart, however, is questionable. He currently has a contract with the Bundesliga club until 2028.

Doris Burke left fans up in arms with her commentary for Thunder-Timberwolves Game 4
Doris Burke and Angel Gray look on during the game between he Memphis Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks on March 7, 2025 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. ESPN commentator Doris Burke had the internet baffled Monday night during Game 4 between the Timberwolves and Thunder. The veteran broadcaster was discussing Rudy Gobert, a French native, and Isaiah Hartenstein, who is of German descent, when she made an odd mention of the rivalry that has gone on over history between the French and Germans. Advertisement 'And I don't know much about history, but I know the French and German don't like one another. And Rudy says, 'Bonjour, Mr. Hartenstein!' Have a little bit of that left-handed dunk!' Burke said. The comment led to play-by-play announcer Mike Breen to interject, 'What are you trying to start here?'

NBAE via Getty Images It's unclear exactly what Burke was trying to refer to, but the French and Germans were rivals in each of the World Wars. 'Cringe,' one X user wrote in response to Burke's comments. 'Did Doris Burke just make a WWE2 joke,' another user posted with a photo of puzzled Shaquille O'Neal. Burke is a somewhat polarizing broadcaster among certain fan bases. Advertisement The Sporting News noted another comment she made during the broadcast that likely created some angst among the viewers at home. Burke said during one of the fouls that Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drew that it was 'why he's called the free throw merchant.' The comment had been a reference to the conversation about Gilgeous-Alexander's foul-drawing tactics. 'There is no way she should be saying this on air, shoutout to [Richard Jefferson] for sticking up and understanding,' one account on social media complained.

People's Juan Soto expectations are all out of whack: David Ortiz
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free Juan Soto's $765 million contract has given people the wrong impression of the type of player he is, one Hall of Famer says. David Ortiz, speaking on the radio in the Dominican Republic on Wednesday, said the expectations around Soto have been too high and don't line up with the type of player he is. Advertisement The former Red Sox designated hitter believes some people think Soto should have stats that line up with MLB's all-time home run leader. But Ortiz sees things differently. 'People think Juan Soto was paid to do what Barry Bonds did. No, people. Soto was paid to do what he always does: hit 30 homers, push 90-100 runs across, hit .280-.290, and have a great on-base percentage,' Ortiz said, as translated from Spanish. 3 Juan Soto reacts after he strikes out swinging during the fifth inning at Citi Field on May 28, 2025. JASON SZENES/NY POST Advertisement 'The problem is that Juan Soto entered free agency at the perfect time with the perfect agent, you know what I mean? So since everyone wants to be involved in the negotiations for a player of his caliber, and because of the Mets' owner, who said, 'The only way he doesn't play for me is if he goes somewhere else for less money.' He won with that argument alone. We're not talking about the best player in the big leagues nor the most complete. He's a great player who at the end of the season will have the numbers he consistently has.' 3 Former MLB player David Ortiz 'Big Papi' attends a mass in honour of the people who died after a roof collapse at the Jet Set nightclub, in Haina, Dominican Republic April 13, 2025. REUTERS Soto's Baseball Savant page looks like one would expect with gaudy peripherals, but his in-game numbers have been far from Soto-like. Advertisement CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS After an 0-for-4 Wednesday afternoon during a Mets 9-4 loss at Citi Field to the White Sox, Soto saw his slash line drop to .202/.333/.404 in May with his season OPS at .745. Manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters after the 0-fer that he's seeing positive indicators that Soto could be turning things in the right direction. 3 Juan Soto went 0-for-4 on Wednesday afternoon. JASON SZENES/NY POST Advertisement 'Honestly, today was one of those days where he didn't hit the ball hard, but I thought that his foundation, his lower half, was in a better position,' he said. 'For me, that's a good sign.' The Mets next play the MLB-worst Rockies in a weekend set, which could be the boon Soto needs.

Chelsea win Conference League, but Maresca wants ‘to move on' to bigger trophies
Enzo Maresca hailed Chelsea's Conference League victory as a crucial building block in the club's journey back to the top after they came from behind to beat Real Betis 4-1 in Wroclaw on Wednesday night. It was a first trophy under the Todd Boehly-Clearlake era and also Maresca's first silverware since taking charge last summer. But it did not come easy. Chelsea trailed early to a well-worked Betis opener and looked disjointed in the first half. A poor start, typified by tactical imbalances and a costly mistake from Malo Gusto, allowed Abde Ezzalzouli to give the Spanish side the lead. Maresca admitted after the match that the heavy schedule and recent emotional exertions – particularly last weekend's Champions League-clinching win over Nottingham Forest – may have contributed to the slow start. However, he praised his team's second-half response. 'We adjusted tactically, but more importantly, mentally,' said Maresca. 'We were much better after the break. It shows the progress we've made.' Chelsea turned the match around after the interval thanks to a dominant midfield display and the brilliance of Cole Palmer. The 22-year-old delivered two assists – one delicately floated for Enzo Fernandez's equaliser, the other a pinpoint cross for Nicolas Jackson to put the Blues ahead. 'Cole is a top player,' Maresca said. 'He can decide matches with a pass or a goal. His rough patch this season will only help him grow.' Late goals from Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo added gloss to the scoreline, sealing a comprehensive win in a final that started with tension both on and off the pitch. Beyond the silverware, Maresca highlighted the symbolic importance of the team's spirit. He pointed to the celebrations of Gusto and Benoit Badiashile – both substituted at half-time – as proof of unity in the squad. 'When the players you take off are the first to celebrate, it means something is going right,' he said. With a Club World Cup campaign ahead, Maresca hopes this win lays the foundation for a winning culture. 'You build mentality by winning,' he added. 'This is a young group, and tonight helps. But we also showed consistency in the league – that matters just as much.' Asked whether he wants to return to the Conference League, Maresca smiled: 'No. We won it. Now we move on.'
