Lazio Making Progress for Bayern Munich Midfielder but Want to Avoid Gila ClauseLazio and Bayern Munich continue to negotiate a deal for young attacking midfielder Jonathan Asp Jensen.Jonathan Asp Jensen Wanted at LazioThe 20-year-old is a Danish player who has been developing his game at the Bavarian club since 2022. This season, he spent his campaign in Switzerland, playing on loan for Grasshoppers. The youngster contributed with nine goals and six assists in 40 appearances, piquing the interest of Lazio, who identified him as the right profile for their project.Lazio Closing in on Asp Jensen DealAccording to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, the Biancocelesti are making important strides on this front, closing in on an agreement with Bayern Munich for Asp Jensen. The Italian capital side is expecting to pay a transfer fee between 3.5 and 4 million. However, the Bundesliga champions are seeking a comprehensive sell-on fee.Lazio & Bayern Munich Haggling on Sell-on FeeAs Pedulla explains, Lazio are open to adding a sell-on clause, but it must be lower than 50%. As the source notes, the Aquile had agreed to a similar percentage when they bought Mario Gila from Real Madrid in 2022, a decision that has returned to haunt him four years later, as the Spaniard could be on his way out of the club, and Lazio could miss out on a significant profit due to this clause.The report believes Lazio arent planning to go beyond a 30% sell-on fee in their negotiations with Bayern Munich. It remains to be seen if the two clubs will be able to reach an agreement for Asp Jensens transfer in the coming days.

Denny Hamlin won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway for his third consecutive victory and passed the late Kyle Busch for ninth on the all-time wins list.

Lewis Hamilton has entered the chat.

Thousands descended on the Ellipse in Washington DC on Sunday afternoon in anxious anticipation for the UFC Freedom 250 card at the nearby White House, where there remains threats of showers.

With every Denny Hamlin victory, speculation about his future grows and talks of retirement are questioned. He signed a two-year extension with Joe Gibbs Racing that runs through 2027 and he insists it will be his last season. At 45, he's the oldest full-time Cup Series driver in the field, but he can't stop winning. Hamlin won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway on Sunday for his third consecutive victory and passed the late Kyle Busch for sole possession of ninth place on the all-time wins list.Hamlin last week won his 63rd race in NASCAR's top series to tie his former Joe Gibbs Racing teammate on the all-time wins list. His eighth career victory at Pocono pushed him ahead of Busch for sole possession of ninth.His recent success it is his fourth win of the season, not including the non-points All-Star race has renewed talk that Hamlin should reconsider retirement when his deal with Gibbs expires. I think for Denny, he wants to leave on top, right? He doesnt want to leave where it was one year too long, said JGR co-owner Heather Gibbs. "At this rate, what hes producing out there, its not something you would not consider. We want the best drivers in our cars. Our teams work to put the best cars on track. "If it works out and hes still producing and he wants to, its a huge commitment for him, hes got his own team that he kind of wants to run. Its hard when you dangle checkered flags in front of him, too. He so far has put a stop to such talk despite performing at the highest level of his long career."Hamlin, who wasn't even sure he wanted to return to honor this two-year extension after losing the championship in last November's season finale and then the December death of his father in a house fire, understands he's performing at a high level. But as far as continuing past 2027? It's not yet on his radar despite how strong he's been on the track.I would certainly say its the best weve been, Hamlin said. We come to the racetrack every week knowing we got a great shot to win. The teams doing an amazing job giving me exactly what I need in the car every single week. Thats why were winning.Sunday's win comes nearly 20 years to the date after his first career victory, which was at Pocono on June 11, 2006. He swept the races at the Pennsylvania track that year.Hamlin said Pocono has become like a second home for me.First win here, so special here. Pocono has mastered the fan experience from the crowd in the stands to the infield here, Hamlin said. Just so happy for this whole Joe Gibbs Racing team. The pit crew is flawless right now. We got it all going."Despite 64 career victories, this marks the first time in his career that Hamlin has won three consecutive races. The feat tied Richard Petty, who did it in 1966 and 1967, Bobby Allison in 1971 and Darrell Waltrip in 1981. Petty, Allison and Waltrip are all in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.He also took a jab at NASCAR, noting that it was technically his ninth victory at Pocono, but he was stripped of the victory in 2022 when NASCAR said he and Busch's car's failed post-race inspection. They aren't getting that checkered flag back, Hamlin said.Tyler Reddick, who drives for the 23XI Racing team owned by Hamlin and Michael Jordan, finished second as Toyota took the top two spots. Hamlin is now 19 points behind Reddick in the Cup Series standings.Everyone is racing hard for track position. Some of its just bad luck, I guess, where you catch cars, Reddick said. Its a bummer. I mean, if the 11 wasnt the winner, you could consider this a good day. I know we finished second. Scoring the points we did just didnt get the job done.When Hamlin tied Busch for all-time wins last week, Hamlin celebrated with a special tribute to Busch. On Sunday, he collected the checkered flag and skipped any tributes to Busch, who died unexpectedly of sepsis at age 41 last month.Toyota drivers have won 10 of 16 races this season, and JGR has accounted for five of them.William Byron finished third in a Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports.I think this is probably the first time in four months that Ive been able to drive the car this way, just be able to make moves and have the balance stay with me," Byron said.Byron was followed by John Hunter Nemechek in fourth in a Toyota for Legacy Motor Club. Nemechek led 42 laps Sunday double what he's led the last two years.Kyle Larson was fifth for Hendrick and Erik Jones was sixth for Legacy as Toyota drivers took four of the top six spots.Bell fights through painChristopher Bell, driving with a broken wrist after a horrific wreck last weekend at Michigan that registered as the hardest hit in the era of NASCAR's new car, led 18 late laps based on strategy but faded to a 26th-place finish.Certainly we were mired back in the 20s and so I think it was an amazing gamble, Bell said. The situation is so hard because you don't know if you're racing for the win, if you're racing to finish the race, and so I don't stop shifting until about 10 to go. Certainly adverse conditions, like whenever people make quick moves on restarts and get put three-wide or the car gets loose, things like that are very difficult.Bell expected his injured arm will be a hindrance the next two weeks as NASCAR races the street course in San Diego and the road course in Sonoma, California two tracks where shifting is heavily used. No rainNASCAR moved the start of the race up two hours to avoid expected rain in the Pocono Mountain region that could alter the completion of the 400-mile race. By doing so, all inclement weather was avoided and the race was run without interruption.Up nextNASCAR makes its inaugural visit to San Diego with a first-of-its-kind street race at Naval Base Coronado. The NASCAR San Diego weekend marks the first NASCAR event ever contested on an active military base, with races Friday, Saturday and Sunday.San Diego will host just the second street course in NASCARs modern era. The Chicago street course hosted two national series each of the past three seasons. The race weekend will coincide with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy.___AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing
