Stuttgart firm on keeping Woltemade despite reported Bayern agreement
VfB Stuttgart have been taken by surprise by reports suggesting their star striker Nick Woltemade has agreed personal terms on a move to Bayern Munich, according to Bild.
The German tabloid claims Stuttgart are 'upset' that Bayern held talks with Woltemade behind the scenes while the Swabians were simultaneously trying to extend the player's contract.

In an interview with Bild, Stuttgart's director of sport, Fabian Wohlgemuth, made it clear once again that the player is not for sale.
'The fact that others have noticed his development and that reports of interest from other clubs appear almost daily changes nothing about the fact that Nick's journey with us is far from over,' Wohlgemuth emphasized.
'We are firmly planning with Nick and want to benefit from his sporting qualities next year as well. There is no alternative plan,' he added.
With Woltemade contracted to the club until 2028 without a release clause, Stuttgart are in a strong negotiating position.
Recently, it was reported that it would take an offer of at least €60 million to make them reconsider their stance.

The Most Important Packers: No. 26 — Isaiah McDuffie
Green Bay Packers linebacker Isaiah McDuffie (58) was second on the team in tackles last season. The Green Bay Packers went 11-6 last season, sweeping the NFC West and the AFC South along the way. Overall, though, no one in the building was happy. The Packers failed to build on their terrific finish to the 2023 campaign, settled for the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, and lost a Wild Card game to eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia. Afterwards, general manager Brian Gutekunst turned up the heat on everybody in the building. 'We need to continue to ramp up our sense of urgency,' Gutekunst said. 'I think it's time we started competing for championships.' Those are fair expectations. The Packers return 20 of 22 starters, and appear to have upgraded the roster via free agency and the draft. With several third and fourth year players trending upward, Green Bay should be poised to make a move. 'I think they're ready,' Gutekunst said. Now, it's time for the Packers to prove their G.M. right. Green Bay's first training camp practice is July 23. Between now and then I will count down the '30 Most Important Packers' heading into the 2025 campaign. At No. 26 is linebacker Isaiah 26 Isaiah McDuffie, LB Last season McDuffie started all 17 games last year and ranked second on the team with a career high 94 tackles. McDuffie added three tackles for loss, three quarterback hits, three passes defensed and a forced fumble. According to Pro Football Focus, McDuffie had a respectable run defense grade of 66.5, which ranked 86th out of 189 linebackers. His coverage grade of 45.8 ranked just 148th, though. McDuffie, a sixth round draft pick in 2021, then signed a two-year, $8 million contract in to date McDuffie saw limited playing time as a rookie in 2021, then tied for the team-lead with a career-high 13 special teams tackles in 2022. McDuffie saw action in all 17 games that season, made one start and finished with 30 tackles. McDuffie then took on a far greater role in 2023 when injuries hit the position. With preferred starters De'Vondre Campbell (six) and Quay Walker (three) missing a combined nine games due to injury, McDuffie stepped in that season and played a career-high 513 snaps. While McDuffie didn't register a turnover play in 2023, he was extremely reliable and played with a ferocity the coaches loved. That eventually led to a bigger role in 2024 and a second contact with the Packers in Players like Edgerrin Cooper, Quay Walker, Ty'Ron Hopper and Isaiah Simmons might be more talented than McDuffie. But he might be hard to keep off the field. McDuffie is as reliable as that 1970s Smith Corona Typewriter that sits in your basement, but somehow still works. McDuffie played 64.2% of the defensive snaps last year, second-most in the linebacking group behind Walker (68.6%). And don't be surprised if he matches that total again. McDuffie will be challenged in training camp by younger or more athletic players. But all teams love consistency and reliability, which McDuffie Said It … 'From the day we've had Isaiah, he's done everything that we would ask for as far as the way he handles himself. He's been an elite special teams player from the beginning, certainly started a lot of games at linebacker for us, so I just thought as we were talking, that that made a lot of sense to bring him back. He's just a glue guy, does everything the right way and again, when you have a player of his caliber who's been an elite (special) teams player and really performed very well every time you put him on the field on defense, it just made sense.' — Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst on re-signing McDuffie'I've known Isaiah for years. I was with him at (Boston College), knew him a little before. You know, he's a guy that you talk about play style, doing things the right way. He's that type of guy, right? He's going to show up every day and be the exact same person. He's going to work harder than anybody. He's going to study, he's going to learn, he's going to really pour everything he has into the Green Bay Packers. So I think when you get guys like that, it's getting back a leader. It's somebody people can follow.' — Packers linebackers coach Sean Duggan on McDuffie'You want to talk about tough? That guy, you've got to give him so much credit for how much he cares about this team, for how badly he wants to play football. You talk about … what's right about the sport. I love that guy.' — Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley on McDuffieTHE TOP 30 • No. 30 — RB MarShawn Lloyd • No. 29 — WR Dontayvion Wicks • No. 28 — S Javon Bullard • No. 27 — WR Savion Williams

2027 Jaguar EV Type 00 Spied Near Nurburgring
The latest car news, reviews, and features. The next era of Jaguar is currently being developed before our eyes. The first of three EVs expected to debut later in 2025 has been spied prowling the public streets surrounding the Nurburgring in Germany. The EV is a large grand tourer and will be the production variant of the Type 00 concept car shown in 2024. Despite the heavy camouflage, the electric prototype for the production car clearly resembles the Type 00 concept's design. Unrealistic elements from the concept such as the slit-like lighting appears to be replaced by functional production-intent units. The mile-long hood will make it to production despite the lack of a gas-powered engine. Jaguar's toned down the rear end a bit while making the leap from concept to reality with a more tapered, practical, set of lines. It's unclear at this point whether the production car will have a glass rear window or forego that practical piece of visibility in the name of design like the concept car. A large charging port door can be seen on the driver-side front fender. Despite the concept having two doors, the production car will be a four-door with frameless windows. Expect seating for four adults, though the back seat may skimp on legroom compared to a Bentley Flying Spur. Yes, Bentley Flying Spur, and Rolls-Royce Ghost. Those will be the competition when the production iteration of the Type 00 arrives. Jaguar's rebrand is intended to move the iconic automaker upmarket into a low-volume, high margin status symbol brand. The previous business plan of volume with the XE and E-Pace sedan and crossovers, which were meant to chase after BMW 3-Series and X3 sales, will be a distant memory. The rebranding has not gone without missteps. The outsourced situation led to reported infighting within the automaker. The Type 00 will ride on a new platform dubbed Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA). Little is known about the platform outside of the ability to have up to 1,000 horsepower and up to 430 miles of driving range with up to 23-inch wheels. Jaguar has claimed the electrical architecture will be capable of adding up to 200 miles of range in 15 minutes when hooked to a DC fast charger. Expect the production version of the Type 00 to go on sale in 2026 and cost more than $150,000. An SUV and sedan variant are expected to arrive shortly after. Got a tip? Drop us a line at tips@

U.S. club investor in jail after arrest over fraud allegations, Vinicius Junior's sublime assist
The Athletic FC ⚽ is The Athletic's daily football (or soccer, if you prefer) newsletter. Sign up to receive it directly to your inbox. Hello. Today we're bringing you the wild tale of the multi-club ownership figure whose history in football leaves him under arrest and locked up in a Barcelona prison. He denies wrongdoing. TAFC has the full story. Plus: Vinicius Junior reprises the 'Heel of God' assist, Ronaldo resolves his future, and Weah and McKennie cross swords with the Italians. Pacific Media Group (PMG) is not the world's most prominent multi-club ownership stable, but it played a part in setting the trend before it was as ubiquitous or as fashionable as it is now. At its peak, PMG had no fewer than seven European clubs under its umbrella. One of its co-owners, Paul Conway, is a 55-year-old American who plenty of people in the sport know of or would recognise. Last night, Matt Slater broke the astonishing story that Conway is locked up in a Spanish prison, where he has been in custody for over a month. He's there because of criminal allegations relating to PMG's ownership history — and one Belgian team specifically. Advertisement It's essential to say at the outset that Conway denies wrongdoing. His wife, Louisa, spoke to Matt and said the experience of learning her husband had been arrested during a trip to Spain on May 20 — he planned to fly home to the U.S. a few days later, to help his daughter visit prospective colleges — was like 'waking up in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, where a person is thrown in jail for stealing bread.' Conway, however, is subject to a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) issued by a court in Belgium. The Belgian authorities, who have not commented on the affair, intend to extradite him and question him over six allegations of fraud relating to the financial collapse of KV Oostende last year. Conway's legal team are fighting extradition — leaving the Florida-based businessman trapped behind bars in Barcelona. PMG's record of ownership, as Matt explains, is incredibly mixed. It ran OGC Nice in France for a while and made a healthy profit when the club was sold to Manchester United minority shareholder, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, in 2019, for a sum of £85m ($117m). Other projects proved far less successful. At various points, the group has also held stakes in Barnsley of England, FC Thun of Switzerland, Nancy of France, Esbjerg of Denmark, Den Bosch in the Netherlands, Kaiserslautern in Germany and GKS Tychy in Poland. But it was its management of Oostende, where PMG invested in 2020, which led to Conway being detained five weeks ago. The main allegation against him concerns a transfer involving Mickael Biron, a striker from Martinique who was 23 when Oostende (one PMG team) signed him from Nancy (another PMG team) in 2021. He cost in the region of £4.25m ($5.2m), according to reports at the time, but was then loaned straight back to Nancy before being sold on for a lower fee 12 months later. Advertisement Questions were asked about whether the deal was constructed to financially assist Nancy. Other claims against Conway relate to what the EAW calls 'unusual costs' involving Oostende and Nancy. Conway's family strenuously deny he was involved in any fraud and point out he was one of numerous people involved in running Oostende, that nobody else has been arrested and that his own personal stakes in Oostende and Nancy were small. It's not in dispute that PMG was a deeply unpopular owner by the time it exited Oostende in 2024. The club were effectively taken over by an administrator, who could not find a way to rescue them. But Conway maintains he is innocent of any criminal offences and, after weeks in a prison cell, can do little else than wait for legal arguments to play out. Ever since Rodri pipped Vinicius Junior to the Ballon d'Or, poor Vini Jr has been reaching for the form which put the trophy at his fingertips in the first place. There's magic in those toes — and those heels. It came forth last night with a genius assist as Real Madrid wrapped up their group stage — and the Club World Cup's group stage as a whole — by sweeping aside Red Bull Salzburg 3-0. Vinicius Jr's backheeled pass to Federico Valverde was manna from heaven for GIF enthusiasts (otherwise known as us). As many people noticed, it was not far off a replica of the storied assist served up by one of his Madrid predecessors, Guti, for Karim Benzema in 2010, dubbed the 'Heel of God'. Why shoot yourself when you can present a colleague with a gimme instead? As it happened, broadcaster DAZN had great footage of Guti in its commentary booth, looking on with a knowing smile. Fifteen years later, the baton's been passed. In a manner of speaking, Cristiano Ronaldo did feature in the Club World Cup. He wasn't there in body, but Gianni Infantino setting the hares racing by predicting the 40-year-old might join one of the 32 participants got him in the headlines. Truth be told, it was never happening. Ronaldo had offers and Argentina's River Plate were open about theirs, but the most likely direction of travel was confirmed yesterday when he signed a new deal with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Advertisement The contract runs to 2027, which takes him beyond the next World Cup and to the age of 42. The most interesting part of Al Nassr's announcement were the final few seconds of their promotional video, in which Ronaldo said: 'Al Nassr forever.' It begged the question: is this his forever club now? Are we talking about Ronaldo's last professional deal? Or will the pursuit of that 1,000th career goal keep him going until he drops? I know where my money's going. (Kick-offs ET/UK time. All Club World Cup matches are shown on DAZN in the U.S. and UK, as well as the other channels stated.)

Further to yesterday's theme of podcast aggro, we've got details of a jovial diplomatic incident involving Italy and the United States. USMNT pair Weston McKennie and Tim Weah drew attention to a pod produced by their club, Juventus, last week by gently besmirching Italian cuisine. Egged on by McKennie, Weah's abridged verdict was: 'Y'all don't have much variety. If I go to this restaurant and get a pesto pasta and then go 10 minutes down the street and order a pesto pasta, it's going to be the same thing.' Advertisement That's dangerous territory. With his tongue in cheek, former Italy goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano threw a counter-punch, saying he 'wouldn't let (them) back into Italy' (with the U.S. duo at the Club World Cup) and warning McKennie he had 'achieved the incredible feat of managing to unite all of Italy against him.' Man versus food, football style.
