Former Liverpool boss wants to sign Reds' POWERHOUSE midfielder
Liverpool need more departures We could see Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa and Ben Doak move on before the window closes - while Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton could also make way. Those sales would give Liverpool even more breathing space in the transfer market - as well as clearing significant room on the wage bill. One more player tipped for the exit is Stefan Bajcetic. The 20-year-old spent last season out on loan to Red Bull Salzburg under Pep Lijnders and at Las Palmas in LaLiga. Bajcetic in demand The midfielder, described as 'outstanding' by former Reds captain Jordan Henderson, has got admirers in LaLiga with Celta Vigo and Valencia in the mix to sign him. But a new contender has now emerged for the Spain under-21 international with Brendan Rodgers' Celtic coming forward with their interest. That's according to a new report in TEAMtalk, which claims a temporary deal plus an obligation to purchase is in the offing. © IMAGO - Stefan Bajcetic Liverpool Brendan Rodgers wants Bajcetic at Celtic 'Liverpool are open to letting the highly-rated 20-year-old Spanish midfielder leave in the summer transfer window, with a loan-to-buy deal being the likely structure,' the report reads. 'However, Bajcetic's high valuation could pose another challenge for Celtic, who are cautious about overextending their budget.' It's not clear how much Liverpool would command for Bajcetic. © IMAGO Bajcetic asking price He is under contract until 2027 and has not played much for the club over the last few seasons due to injuries and his loan spells. With Liverpool reportedly looking for more than €9m for Tyler Morton - who is under contract until 2026 - it could mean Bajcetic goes for slightly more than that. Whether Celtic have the funds to come up with a deal for Bajcetic remains to be seen. Nonetheless, the schemer is not on tour with the Reds in Asia and is expected to conclude a move away before the window closes.

Trump plans to revive the Presidential Fitness Test for American schoolchildren
WASHINGTON — President Trump on Thursday plans to reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test for American schoolchildren, a program created in 1966 to help interest young people in following healthy, active lifestyles. Children had to run and perform situps, pullups or pushups and a sit-and-reach test, but the program changed in 2012 during the Obama administration to focus more on individual health than athletic feats. The president 'wants to ensure America's future generations are strong, healthy, and successful,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, and that all young Americans 'have the opportunity to emphasize healthy, active lifestyles — creating a culture of strength and excellence for years to come.' In a late afternoon ceremony at the White House, Trump intends to sign an order reestablishing the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, as well as the fitness test, to be administered by his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The council also will develop criteria for a Presidential Fitness Award. In 2012, the assessment evolved into the Youth Fitness Program, which the government said 'moved away from recognizing athletic performance to providing a barometer on student's health.' Then-first lady Michelle Obama also promoted her 'Let's Move' initiative focused on reducing childhood obesity through diet and exercise. Reinvigorating sports council and the fitness test fits with Trump's focus on athletics. The Republican president played baseball in high school and plays golf almost every weekend. Much of the domestic travel he has done this year that is not related to weekend golf games at his clubs in Florida, New Jersey and Virginia was built around attending sporting events, including the Super Bowl, Daytona 500 and UFC matches. The announcement Thursday comes as Trump readies the United States to host the 2025 Ryder Cup, 2026 FIFA World Cup games and the 2028 Summer Olympics. The Youth Fitness Test, according to a Health and Human Services Department website last updated in 2023 but still online Thursday, 'minimizes comparisons between children and instead supports students as they pursue personal fitness goals for lifelong health.' Expected to join Trump at the event are several prominent athletes, including some who have faced controversy. They include Trump friend and pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau; Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker; Swedish golfer Annika Sorenstam; WWE chief content officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, the son-in-law of Trump's education secretary, Linda McMahon; and former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, a registered sex offender. The NFL distanced itself from comments Butker made last year during a commencement address at a Kansas college, when he said most of the women receiving degrees were probably more excited about getting married and having children than entering the workforce and that some Catholic leaders were 'pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America.' Butker also assailed Pride Month and railed against Democratic President Joe Biden's stance on abortion. Butker later formed a political action committee designed to encourage Christians to vote for what the PAC describes as 'traditional values.' Sorenstam faced backlash for accepting the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump on Jan. 7, 2021, the day after rioters spurred by Trump's false claims about his election loss to Biden stormed the Capitol in Washington. Taylor, who has appeared on stage with Trump at campaign rallies, pleaded guilty in New York in 2011 to misdemeanor criminal charges of sexual misconduct. He was sentenced to six years of probation and ordered to register as a sex offender. Price writes for the Associated Press. AP writer John Wawrow in Buffalo, N.Y., contributed to this report.
