Inter Milan & Como Manager Set For Crunch Talks In London, Genoa Coach Remains Plan B
A crunch meeting between Inter Milan and Cesc Fabregas is about to take place in London in the coming hours. Per Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the parties will meet for showdown talks tonight, with the Nerazzurri still hoping to close the deal. Advertisement Indeed, Beppe Marotta has identified Fabregas as Simone Inzaghi's successor at Stadio San Siro. However, the 38-year-old Spaniard has turned down Inter's approach as he intends to stay at Como. Despite the initial rejection, the Serie A giants haven't lost hope of convincing the Spaniard to change his mind. Inter Milan & Cesc Fabregas Set for Showdown Talks in London VERONA, ITALY – MAY 18: Cesc Fabregas, Como manager, looks on before kick off at the Serie A match between Verona and Como at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on May 18, 2025 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by) Cesc Fabregas remains Inter's primary target to replace Inzaghi. Yet, the former Arsenal midfielder seems determined to stay at Como after admitting he 'believes in the project.' Tonight could be Inter's last chance to get Fabregas' go-ahead. Advertisement Otherwise, they'll likely turn to other options, considering time is becoming a factor. Indeed, Inter will take part in the FIFA Club World Cup in a fortnight. Therefore, the appointment of a new manager is the highest priority. With that in mind, the hypothesis of Patrick Vieira's return to San Siro has started to pick up momentum. Inter may go after the Frenchman in charge of Genoa, whose €500,000 release clause shouldn't be a problem.

NBA working on plan for US-vs.-world format at All-Star Game next season, AP source says
OKLAHOMA CITY -- The NBA is working on a plan to turn next season's All-Star Game into a U.S.-vs.-world competition, a person with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday. It remains unclear how the format will work, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the league has not made any final determinations. Speaking to Fox Sports 1 earlier Wednesday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver — who has talked about such a game on multiple occasions — was asked if U.S. vs. the world is possible. 'Yes,' Silver said. Silver addressed the idea on March 27 as well at the league's most recent board of governors meeting, when he revealed that the NBA was scrapping the All-Star mini-tournament format that was used this season. At that time, the AP reported that the 2026 game — to be played Feb. 15 in Inglewood, California, just past the midpoint of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics — will be moved from its traditional prime-time Sunday night slot to one that starts on Sunday afternoon. That's happening because the game will be aired on NBC under the terms of the new 11-year media rights deals that kick in next season. NBC is also the Olympic broadcaster in the U.S. So, NBC could show Olympic events in the morning and early afternoon, then the All-Star Game, then have prime-time Olympic programming. The move comes on the heels of a popular tournament, the 4 Nations Face-off, that essentially took the place of the NHL All-Star Game this year, as well as strong competition at the Paris Olympics, where the Americans won a fifth consecutive gold medal by rallying past Nikola Jokic and Serbia in the semifinals, then topping host France and Victor Wembanyama in the title game — behind a barrage of late 3-pointers from Stephen Curry. 'What better time to feature some form of USA against the world?' Silver said on FS1. 'I'm not exactly sure what the format will be yet. I obviously paid a lot of attention to what the NHL did, which was a huge success. ... But also, going back, last summer, our Olympic competition was a huge success.' There is one big challenge regarding any U.S.-vs.-world format. About 70% of NBA players are American, while 30% are international, so it would in theory be easier for an international player to make the All-Star team — if the rosters are the same size. International players, when asked at this year's All-Star Game if they would want a U.S.-vs.-world matchup, sounded enthusiastic. 'I would love to. My opinion is that it's more purposeful,' Wembanyama said back in February. 'There's more pride in it. More stakes.' Added Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, who's from Greece: 'I would love that. Oh, I would love that. I think that would be the most interesting and most exciting format. I would love that. For sure, I'd take pride in that. I always compete, but I think that will give me a little bit more extra juice to compete.' The latest format for the All-Star Game — a four-team, three-game mini-tournament in San Francisco with the first team to 40 points winning each — was a miss. It came after years of the league asking players for a more competitive game. The 211-186 final score at Indianapolis in 2024 was the last straw, and the league — for one year, anyway — thought the tournament was the answer.

‘Of course it's better': Bayer Leverkusen player backs Florian Wirtz and explains why he wants his teammate to go to Liverpool

Alonso's Leverkusen are aiming for a sensational Bundesliga title . | Credit: Getty Images . | Credit: Getty Images Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz is the hottest property on the European transfer market and his departure is imminent. Advertisement Liverpool look likely to get their man for a very hefty transfer fee, seeing off competition from Premier League rivals Manchester City as well as Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. Bayern tends to be the natural destination for Germany's best young players at other clubs but 22-year-old Wirtz is understood to be bound for Anfield when the Reds can finalise a deal with Leverkusen and the player himself. 'He's definitely in the top 10 in the world' Florian Wirtz | Credit: Getty Images Understandably, there are those at Leverkusen who won't be upset to see Wirtz break the pattern of Bayern hoovering up German talent. Spanish midfielder Aleix Garcia, who joined Leverkusen last summer and had the briefest of Premier League experiences with Man City, has backed his teammate's Liverpool choice. Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Aleix Garcia | Credit: Getty Images '[Jonathan] Tah has gone to Bayern, and if Wirtz were to leave, they'd be almost unstoppable,' Garcia told AS via Sport Witness. Advertisement 'I think he'll go to England and make a difference. I wish him the best of luck because, apart from being a star, he's a very good guy. 'I spent a year with him and I think he's dazzling. He has superior quality and is a game-changer. He's also driven to improve every day and always be the best. 'He's definitely in the top 10 in the world. I don't know if he's in the top five but he's definitely in the top 10. He has spectacular talent and a hunger to keep improving. Jonathan Tah and Xabi Alonso both left Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season | Credit: Getty Images 'It's better to not have him as a rival.' Garcia signed for the then-champions from Girona last June, joining Wirtz and Tah in an unsuccessful title defence under former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso. Advertisement After their historic unbeaten league season Die Werkself claimed a comfortable second place in 2024-25 but finished 13 points behind Bayern. Alonso has since departed for Real Madrid and new coach Erik ten Hag will have to contend with the loss of Tah and Wirtz as Leverkusen's success inevitably begins to result in their top talent getting plucked. Midfielder Garcia will be eager to be pivotal in Ten Hag's plan to navigate the transition. He spent three years at Girona after short spells in Romania and at Eibar, having been sold to Dinamo Bucharest by City in 2020. Now 27, Garcia broke into the Spanish national team picture as a Girona player and featured in 28 Bundesliga games for Leverkusen in 2024-25.
