Bayern Munich signs Liverpool forward Luis Diaz on 4-year deal
The move balances out Liverpool's heavy spending with a fee reported at 75 million euros by German media, while Bayern dips into the millions it earned at the Club World Cup, a competition Liverpool didn't qualify for.
Díaz had been with Liverpool since 2022 and scored 17 goals in 50 games across all competitions last season as the club won the Premier League title.

Newcastle send another bid to RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko
Newcastle United are desperate to get a striker's deal done before the window ends as their current No.9 Alexander Isak is looking for other options. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on August 5, 2025, 08:22 IST Newcastle United are desperate to get a striker's deal done before the window ends as their current No.9 Alexander Isak is looking for other options. Isak who has already made up his mind of leaving is interested in joining Liverpool and also the club trying hard to get the deal done. However, Newcastle can only give green light when they get a new striker and they are fully focused on Benjamin Sesko. They are rivaling Manchester United for the striker. Despite sending the second bid of €90 million (package), they are not confident that the player will choose them. Man United hasn't send a bid yet as they are waiting for the player's approval first. Newcastle United are scrambling to finalise a striker signing before the summer transfer window closes, as their current No.9 Alexander Isak looks increasingly likely to leave the club. The Swedish forward has reportedly made up his mind about moving on, with Liverpool emerging as his preferred destination. Liverpool are pushing hard to get a deal over the line for Isak, who is seen as a long-term addition to their attacking options. However, Newcastle are unwilling to greenlight the transfer unless they secure a suitable replacement — and their top target is RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. The Magpies are facing stiff competition from Manchester United for the Slovenian talent. Newcastle have already submitted a second bid worth €90 million (including add-ons), but there is uncertainty within the club about Šeško's willingness to join them.

Raiders trade CB Jakorian Bennett to Eagles for DT Thomas Booker IV, AP source says
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — The Las Vegas Raiders are trading cornerback Jakorian Bennett to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV, a person with knowledge of the deal said Monday. That person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the trade is pending physicals on both players. Bennett, drafted in the fourth round two years ago out of Maryland, started seven games for the Raiders last season before being shut down because of a torn labrum that required surgery. He played well as a cover cornerback, but Bennett was running with the second and third teams this training camp under first-year coach Pete Carroll. At 5-foot-10, Bennett doesn't fit Carroll's preference of playing taller cornerbacks. Six-foot Eric Stokes and 6-2 rookie Darien Porter have been competing with the starters this camp. Booker started one game and played in all 17 last season for the Eagles. He also appeared in four postseason games for the Super Bowl champions. But Booker, a 2022 fifth-round draft pick of Houston, was fifth on the depth chart at a deep defensive tackle position this season. The Raiders released defensive tackle Christian Wilkins on July 24 over a dispute over a recovery plan for a broken foot from last season. The club is attempting to void the remaining $35.25 million of Wilkins' deal, and he has filed a grievance with the NFL Players Association. ___ ___ AP NFL:

Top-seeded Zverev beats defending champ Popyrin to reach semifinals in Toronto
TORONTO (AP) — Top-seeded Alexander Zverev rallied to defeat No. 18 Alexei Popyrin of Australia 6-7 (8), 6-4, 6-3 on Monday to reach the semifinals of the National Bank Open. Zverev, the 2017 tournament champion, will face either No. 11 seed Karen Khachanov of Russia or No. 26 Alex Michelsen of the U.S. Zverev, a German who is ranked No. 3, advanced to his 75th ATP Tour semifinal. He is looking for his 25th tournament title and eighth in an ATP 1000 Masters tournament. The other quarterfinals are Tuesday. Second-seeded Taylor Fritz will take on No. 6 Andrey Rublev of Russia, while No. 4 Ben Shelton is slated to meet No. 9 Alex de Minaur of Australia. Both semifinals go Wednesday ahead of Thursday's title match. Popyrin took the first set when his gentle backhand volley after a long rally grazed the top of the net and dropped for the winning point — much to the delight of his fans, including one with an inflatable yellow kangaroo. Zverev responded by immediately firing a ball completely out of Sobeys Stadium in frustration, but quickly regrouped to go up 2-0 in the second set. Popyrin grabbed a break of his own before holding serve at 4-4. Zverev, who won the Canadian title in Montreal eight years ago when he defeated childhood idol Roger Federer, took a 5-4 lead and then again broke his opponent to even the match. Ousted at the quarterfinal stage of last year's tournament, Zverev got another break to go up 2-0 in the third set before serving out the match. The 28-year-old, who lost to top-ranked Jannik Sinner in the final at this year's Australian Open and made the French Open quarters, improved to 4-0 all-time against Popyrin, including a third-round victory at the Paris Olympics. Zverev has two tournament wins on clay this year, and is the highest-ranked player competing in a Toronto field lacking some significant star power after Sinner, No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, No. 5 Jack Draper and No. 6 Novak Djokovic all skipped the hard-court event.
