Monaco reject Bayer Leverkusen's opening bid for Eliesse Ben Seghir
As confirmed by GGFN, French media reported that B04 had submitted a €25m opening bid for the 20-year-old winger. The bid is within the youngster's current market value, however, Monaco want to hold out for closer to €35m for their player.
Borussia Dortmund, who are monitoring the situation, have been informed of the opening offer from their Bundesliga rivals.
Leverkusen are aiming to replace the outgoing Amine Adli who has already bid farewell to the Werkself fans, with a €30m sale to Bournemouth is reportedly finalised.
Despite his age, Ben Seghir has already played 11 times for Morocco, scoring on three occasions.
Ben Seghir had a breakout season last campaign, having made the step up from Monaco's U21s to the first team. The winger played over 40 games for the Ligue 1 side last term.

Which Browns player was the biggest surprise against the Eagles?
Saturday's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles gave the Cleveland Browns their second preseason win of the summer. It came with no shortage of standout performances, especially from rookies and undrafted free agents looking to showcase their talent and make a name for themselves. One of the biggest standouts was undrafted rookie wide receiver Gage Larvadain. He finished the day with 3 receptions for 43 yards and added an impressive 16-yard gain on an end-around. Larvadain also handled the punt returns in this game and averaged 7.2 yards on 5 returns. If he can show out with another impressive performance next week against the Los Angeles Rams, he might make a case to land on the Browns' initial 53-man roster. On the other side of the ball, Cleveland's defense had a great afternoon. KJ Henry had some notable moments, including an interception returned 45 yards for a touchdown. The interception was set up nicely by a hit from defensive end Julian Okwara – a moment that showcased the depth of the Browns' defensive front. With one preseason game left, performances like these will give the coaching staff exactly what they need to make their final roster decisions.

Cheese Curds, 8/18: Anthony Belton's terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day
The Green Bay Packers had a rough go in the first half of Saturday's preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. Part of the issue on a general level was surely due to the Packers playing few of their established starters while the Colts kept a good complement of first-team players on the field early. But one player stood out in particular for his rough performance before halftime: rookie tackle Anthony Belton. Belton had a day to forget — or at least to learn from — on Saturday. Mental errors happened consistently, including one that took a would-be touchdown off the board in the second quarter. It was that much more frustrating to see Belton's rough day at right tackle when contrasted against Jordan Morgan, who looked very solid on the left side. Still, Belton was playing in just his second professional game, and if there is ever a time to get those mental errors out of the way and learn from them, it's in the preseason. He is vowing to 'grow up,' (his words) and ensure that another day like that does not happen again — something that the Packers need him to do, given their questionable depth on the offensive line. Here's a look back at Saturday's game from around the Packers blogosphere. Game Notes: Tyron Herring comes up big in Packers' thrilling comeback | was the late hero on Saturday, breaking up a would-be game-winning touchdown pass to tight end Jelani Woods after the running game started to dominate the Colts' defense. Studs and duds from Packers' preseason win over Colts | Packers WireJordan Morgan looks more and more comfortable at left tackle, and the Packers may have a good problem on their hands with a pair of viable left tackles.

Five Packers Overreactions From Preseason Win at Colts | it really an overreaction to say that the Packers are toast if they have one or two major injuries on the offensive line? Can the Packers ever count on RB MarShawn Lloyd after yet another injury? | The AthleticI think this might well count as an overreaction, but after one more soft tissue injury, it's valid to wonder if the former third-round draft pick will ever be able to make it through a full season. How do mascots like the Phillie Phanatic stay fresh in the summer heat? Vodka and water | NBC NewsNo, that's not how they stay hydrated – it's apparently how they minimize the smell of sweat inside their costumes.

Matthew Judon set to visit with Dolphins
Veteran edge rusher Matthew Judon could be continuing his career in Miami. Aaron Wilson of KPRC reports that Judon will visit the Dolphins on Monday. Judon said in May that he believes he can still play and that he was weighing his options to do so. The Patriots traded Judon to the Falcons before the 2024 season. He had 5.5 sacks while appearing in all 17 games for Atlanta and he has 72 sacks over a career that began as a Ravens fifth-round pick in 2016. Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb, and Chop Robinson are the top edge rushers currently on the Dolphins' roster.
