Mourinho wants Abraham reunion at Fenerbahce after Roma adventure
Tammy Abraham's future remains up in the air after his Milan loan, with reports Jose Mourinho wants a reunion with his ex-Roma striker at Fenerbahce.
The English striker moved to San Siro last summer on a dry loan, with Alexis Saelemaekers going the other way, meaning there is no agreed option to buy.

There have been some suggestions that the Rossoneri want to make it a permanent transfer, but with the emergence of Luka Jovic, it seems more likely they will return him to Roma.

According to Takvim in Turkey, Abraham's next destination could be Fenerbahce, as former Roma coach Mourinho believes he would flourish at Fenerbahce.
The asking price for a sale would be in the region of €15m, although that also depends on whether Milan want to secure the centre-forward.

What Do Juventus Expect From Former Liverpool Director Damien Comoli?

More Images) After another disappointing season, Juventus have decided to make significant changes and have announced the appointment of Damien Comoli as the club's new General Manager from June 4. In a statement on their official website, the Bianconeri revealed that Comoli – set to report directly to the Chief Executive Officer Maurizio Scanavino – will be responsible for the Men's Football Area as well as the Marketing and Commercial Departments. The Turin-based side also revealed that former Captain Giorgio Chiellini will work for Comoli as the Director of Football Strategy, with a major part of his role being to ensure the 'values and spirit of Juventus' are upheld. 'We are delighted to welcome Damien and extend our best wishes for his journey with us,' said Maurizio Scanavino in the same statement. 'His expertise and professionalism will play a crucial role in Juventus' path to continued strength and growth.' Having spent the last five years serving as President of Toulouse, Comoli led the French club to promotion to Ligue 1 and their first ever triumph in the Coupe de France. Prior to that, he had spent a long career in various roles at some high profile clubs, starting with his appointment as a scout for Arsenal back in 1996. Responsible for identifying talent across Europe during Arsene Wenger's tenure, he has been credited with bringing players such as Kolo Toure and Gael Clichy to North London before moving on in 2004. The Frenchman then became Sporting Director at Saint-Étienne, departing after just 12 months to become the director of football at Tottenham. It was during his time with the club that they won their last trophy – the 2008 League Cup Final victory – before lifting this year's UEFA Europa League. Comoli brought players including Dimitar Berbatov, Luka Modric and Gareth Bale to Spurs, all three eventually moving on for large profits. Indeed, the latter pair are believed to have cost Tottenham roughly $38 million, but were later sold (separately) to Real Madrid later for a combined $177 million. Another spell at Saint-Étienne followed, before Comoli spent an eventful 18 months back in the Premier League with Liverpool. Spending over $170 million during the January 2011 transfer window, the director was guilty of bringing in expensive flops including Andy Carroll ($57 million) and Stewart Downing ($33 million). However, he was also responsible for the acquisition of Luis Suarez from Ajax for a fee of £22.8 million (£30.87 million) and long-time skipper Jordan Henderson for around £16 million ($21.66 million). Henderson would go on to make almost 500 appearances for the club and Captain them to UEFA Champions League glory in 2019 as well as their first top flight English title since 1990. Meanwhile, Suarez would win the 2013/14 Premier League Golden Boot and European Golden Shoe awards after scoring 31 league goals in 33 appearances, before moving to Barcelona for £64.98 million ($87.98 million). Those kinds of deals would be hugely attractive to Juve, delivering tangible success on the field as well as securing much-needed boosts to their ailing finances, with the recent qualification for next season's Champions League helping on both fronts. 'I am thrilled and privileged to join a Club distinguished by its history, identity and ambitious vision,' Comoli said after his appointment. 'From the very first day, I will dedicate my experience to Juventus with the ultimate goal of achieving victory — just as Juventus is meant to, and as our fans rightfully expect.' Supporters and club officials will expect just that, with Juve's decision to dismiss Cristiano Giuntoli coming as a direct result of his failure to deliver results. In less than two years at the helm, the former Napoli director replaced both Max Allegri and Thiago Motta as Coach while bringing in a number of high profile signings who did not live up to expectations. Finishing third and fourth in Serie A over the last two seasons was never going to satisfy Italian football's most successful club, especially while Giuntoli was also responsible for expensive flops like Teun Koopmeiners (signed for €54.7 million/$62.49) and Douglas Luiz (€50 million/$57.12 million). It is into that world that the new General Manager now steps. Damien Comoli has had success in the past, but he will need to deliver quickly both on and off the pitch at Juventus.

I Took The Maserati GT2 Stradale On The Track. I'm Still Grinning
The Maserati GT2 Stradale on the track Lorenzo Marcinno for Maserati It's nice to see Maserati get its pulse back. An Italian racing original whose DNA is still seen in top performance cars on the road, its return the track started five years ago with the introduction of the MC20 and now, in a surprisingly powerful hypercar that the brand calls barely street legal, the GT2 Stradale. Built on the platform of the MC20—MC for Maserati Corse, the brand's racing arm—the GT2 Stradale carries the refined lines of a classically beautiful hypercar: Toned haunches, a swooping roofline and scissor doors, each exterior line aerodynamic, elegant, muscular. Inside it has carbon sport seats, ultra suede upholstery, classic steering column-mounted paddle shifters and buttons on the carbon and suede steering wheel to power the car on and ignite launch mode. The Maserati GT2 Stradale is powered by a six-cylinder twin turbo Nettuno engine, which at might seem small for a hypercar, but don't let that fool you. It delivers an astounding performance; its power is only part of the story. I just got off the track at Circuit of the Americas where I drove the GT2 Stradale and my adrenaline is shot. On a 'drive as many laps as you'd like' day, Maserati rolled out the GT2 Stradale for journalists, dealers and customers to put it to the task, lapping the track's 3.4 miles of F1 designated-design including 20 incredibly tight turns. Without the right power, balance and precision, a driver can flail embarrassingly off course. Focus is key on this track, but so is the right car. And the GT2 Stradale didn't disappoint. Throughout the day I was able to drive other cars, too, and still, the GT2 Stradale shines. So does hitting more than 150 MPH on the back straight, a nice achievement for a non-pro driver. The rear end of the Maserati GT2 Stradale Lorenzo Marcinno for Maserati If it seems like hypercars are ever-more hyper, you're not wrong. With brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Corvette delivering models that generate more than 1,000 hp, a 631 hp V6 turbo might look like an also-ran in the hypercar category. Press the starter button, however, and your mind will change quickly. Then, pull the left paddle to put it in drive—you can tap the 'D' button if you must, but pulling the paddle is the Italian way—and head out on the road, or better, on the track. The Nettuno engine, the foundation for all of Maserati's performance cars, will gurgle with insistence, anxious for you to throttle up. As you floor the accelerator you'll feel it, the engine screaming behind you in its glass-covered bay, the road blurring beside you, the next turn coming up as fast as you can move your foot to the brake. And when you do, the GT2 Stradale calms quickly and turns tightly, ready to deliver another heady hurtle toward the next turn. Speed is satisfying, but it's not your friend when it comes to tight turns on a track. And that's where the GT2 Stradale excels; tight steering, a 40/60 weight balance that gives the rear end nice grip, carbon-ceramic brakes, all wheel drive and sport mode allow its agility. A steering wheel that's flat on top and bottom and an adjustable sport seat allowed me maximum visibility, another detail I greatly appreciated; there's nothing like flying up to a tight turn and having the steering wheel and side pillar block your view. Still, considering the GT2 Stadale's six-cylinder engine and 631 hp, versus more cylinders and more hp of many of its competitors, you might think the GT2 Stradale would strain to reach top speeds on the straightaways. But its light weight, thanks in part to its carbon fiber structure and other weight strategies, and tweaking of its turbo chargers, allows it all the power it needs to reach frighteningly fast speeds. The interior of the Maserati GT2 Stradale Maserati Italian for 'grand touring' and 'street,' the GT2 Stradale is intended for all the daily routines that can benefit from a blast of fun: a run to dinner, a sunset cruise, an excuse to blow out the day's stress on your favorite curvy road. Practical, it's not; there is barely a place to put a phone or a key fob and forget about your coffee; drink it at the shop, not in the car. With a price tag of $312,000 (that's to start), the focus of this car is this car: customizing it, driving it, tracking it, allowing it to quicken your pulse. It certainly quickened Maserati's.

Maurizio Sarri returns as Lazio head coach after Marco Baroni departure
Maurizio Sarri has returned as Lazio head coach, just 15 months after he resigned from the club. Sarri is replacing Marco Baroni, who signed a two-year contract as Lazio head coach last summer but departed after just one season in charge. A Lazio statement earlier on Monday confirmed Baroni's exit. Sarri has not worked in a coaching role since leaving Lazio in March 2024. Advertisement 'Maurizio Sarri has returned home. His return is a choice of heart, conviction and vision,' Lazio president Claudio Lotito said in a news release. 'With him, we want to resume a path interrupted too soon, aware that together we can bring back enthusiasm, identity and ambition. Welcome back to your home, commander.' Welcome back, 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢 🚬 Qui il comunicato ufficiale ⤵️ — (@OfficialSSLazio) June 2, 2025 Lazio went into the final day of the league season with an outside chance of a top-four finish and Champions League qualification, but their defeat at home to 10-man Lecce saw them drop to seventh in the standings and miss out on European football altogether for 2025-26. Baroni's side eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Europa League by Bodo/Glimt in a penalty shootout, and also exited the Coppa Italia at the last-eight stage of the Coppa Italia by Inter. Having joined in June 2021, Lazio finished fifth and second in Sarri's two full league campaigns at the helm, while he led them to the Champions League last-16 stage in 2023-24 before resigning from his position in March of that season. The 66-year-old has a managerial career spanning more than three decades and encompassing spells at Napoli, Chelsea and Juventus, with whom he won the Serie A title in 2019-20. ()
