Barcelona may not sign any striker if Plan A failsBarcelonas summer transfer window began with the quick completion of Anthony Gordons signing, but there has not been much progress since then.The club did manage to finish one more recruitment in the form of Karim Adeyemi but have not made any movement towards the top targets they had for the summer a centre-back and a centre-forward.Julian Alvarez has long been linked as the clubs top striker target since the beginning of the summer transfer window, but Atletico Madrid refused to negotiate back then and they continue to maintain the same stance now. Barcelonas plans, thus, have taken a hit.Alvarez or nobodyIn a recent report by El Larguero via SPORT, journalist Ramon Besa provides an update on Alvarezs situation and how Barcelona are approaching the striker position.Atletico Madrid refuse to negotiate. (Photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty Images)As reported by the Spanish outlet, Barcelona may well end up not signing any striker if Alvarez does not arrive. He is the coachs direct request that the administration backed, but if his move does not materialise, they see the alternatives as having a massive gap in quality.Moreover, Atletico Madrid will also have a serious problem if Alvarez indeed wishes to leave as he stated at the FIFA World Cup. After all, the player does not want to return to England where they wouldnt preferably sell him to.All parties are thus at a stalemate as matters stand, and it may end up hurting all parties involved.Barcelona may need internal solutionsIf indeed the club fail to sign Alvarez and are not looking for any other strikers on the market, they will have to look for internal solutions to fill the gap at number nine. The options, however, are very limited after Robert Lewandowskis departure.Will Flick turn to Hamza Abdelkarim? (Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)Ferran Torres will be the obvious candidate to be the teams starting centre-forward in such a scenario, but questions can be asked of his lack of clinical finishing and inconsistency. Further, he is not a traditional imposing presence in the box.Dani Olmo is a second option if the manager opts to play with a false nine, although that will require a change of system and massive tactical tweaks.A third strong candidate to feature as the central striker is Hamza Abdelkarim who is shining in pre-season and made his presence known with a brace against Birmingham. The Egyptian star is highly rated as a traditional centre-forward, and the club can look to nurture him and develop his talent.

Baseball's eyes are on the Motor City for the next two days with back-to-back Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal widely expected to be traded by the Detroit Tigers ahead of Monday's MLB deadline.The 29-year-old lefty is a free agent this winter and expected to command a record-breaking contract, but whichever team rents him for the next two months would be giving itself the best chance possible to win a World Series in the fall. One of the AL favorites heading into the season, the Tigers nearly buried themselves with a 6-22 record in May and enter Saturday six games under .500. Though Detroit is (like most teams) in contention for a wild card spot, the Tigers' devastating loss in what may have been Skubal's final start may have sealed his fate.Two teams to watch in the Skubal sweepstakes are the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers, who happen to have the best records in baseball.Keep up on the latest rumors and Tigers news:Skubal's catcher didn't get to say goodbyeThe two-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher and his longtime personal catcher met at the alternate site during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, grew up through Rogers' career-high 21-homer season until the emergence of All-StarDillon Dinglerpushed Rogers to the margins and, finally, resulted in his getting designated for assignment July 28."I love Skoob to death," Rogers said Friday at Camden Yards. "He made it known that he was going to miss me, and I made it known I was going to miss him. Its going to happen eventually. To happen the way it did was a little iffy. Its all a business and they had to do it."I feel like Ive grown up with him. Met him for the first time at the alternate site. We just had such a good relationship since then. Just a really good human and a hardworking human."

WWE SmackDown on July 31, 2026, took place at Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisc., and featured a final showdown with CM Punk and Cody Rhodes.The Friday go-home show for SummerSlam was a little all over the place as the i's were dotted and the t's were crossed before the PLE. There were two title matches on the show, both featuring AAA championships. There were promos and brawls all over the place to tease the two-day weekend event in Minnesota.Heres the top takeaways from this weeks show:Nick Aldis gets his hands on GuntherThe opening segment of the show was a promo battle between Finn Blor and Sami Zayn. After they got in a few words on the mic, Gunther attacked them both from behind. Adam Pearce appeared at the entryway with security, and Gunther made his way to the GM. After arguing with him, Nick Aldis burst through to get his paws on Gunther.This is getting GOOD! @RealNickAldis WILL NOT back down from @Gunther_AUT! pic.twitter.com/LMYDbcGKkO WWE (@WWE) August 1, 2026The brawl entered the ring, where Aldis slapped on a Texas Cloverleaf until officials broke it up. The two attempted to fight through security, but were eventually restrained and kept separated.This is what we needed to see from Aldis before his match at SummerSlam. The audience has never seen him perform any physical moves in a WWE ring, but that has now changed. This was a nice little teaser brawl that was more necessary than any other match or rivalry heading into the PLE.Rey Fenix retains AAA titleRey Fenix put his AAA Cruiserweight Championship on the line against JD McDonagh, who of course, had Dominik Mysterio by his side.This was easily the best match of the night not that there were a lot of options, but it would have probably been the case with more matches anyway. Mysterio eventually got involved and was banished from ringside. As he was protesting his way up the aisle, Danhausen appeared, but was cut off from cursing Mysterio because he got socked in the jaw. Then the Mini-hausens appeared, taking down Mysterio. Meanwhile in the ring, Fenix hit a Mexican Muscle Buster to retain his title. #ANDSTILLAn impressive Title defense from @ReyFenixMx! pic.twitter.com/ap9UimSPa9 WWE (@WWE) August 1, 2026Lash Legend wins final ladder match qualifierThere was one spot remaining for the womens ladder match for the interim WWE title. It was Lash Legend vs. Giulia, and it didnt last long.Legend made quick work of Giulia, hitting her with the Lash Extension in literally two minutes. I timed it. It was two minutes on the dot. Even though there was no shortage of action in those two minutes, its crazy to see Giulia lose that quickly. The reaction online echoes that sentiment. LASH has booked her SPOT! @lashlegendwwe will compete in the Interim WWE Women's Title Ladder Match at #SummerSlam! pic.twitter.com/IzytUr5AjP WWE (@WWE) August 1, 2026That anger should not be directed at Legend, who was made to look strong here, and it fits with her character as a powerhouse. Fans are simply frustrated that Giulia hasn't been treated well by creative. She seems stuck in the mud, spinning her wheels with no end in sight.Legend fills out the field for the interim ladder match at SummerSlam, joining Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton. Dont think I wasnt going to end this takeaway without once again mentioning how crazy it is that were having qualifying matches for an interim title match. All of this is a mess. Once again, the match should be for the undisputed title. Theres no reason to have an interim belt in WWE, virtually ever.Haku returns after tag title vs. tag title matchA genuinely surprising face showed up during this episode. First, during a vignette with Tama and Talla Tonga as they talked about their next moves, WWE legend Haku, and real-life father of both men, entered the frame to provide paternal motivation. But that wasnt the last wed see him.After the AAA tag title vs. WWE tag title match between The War Raiders and the champion team of Damian Priest and R-Truth, which ended with a silly DQ, Tama and Talla joined in on the post-match brawl. After putting both teams on the floor, Haku entered the ring for the power pose as Talla and Tama held both sets of tag titles high.THIS IS CRAZY Talla Tonga and Tama Tonga are WRECKING both Damian Priest and R-Truth and The War Raiders! pic.twitter.com/Ar4RaIS3bT WWE (@WWE) August 1, 2026As a fan of Hakus work during his prime, seeing him randomly pop up on an episode of SmackDown is a pleasant surprise and it seems that hell be around to help guide his sons to tag title dominance. If this is the direction, its a brilliant one. Its a move that gives Tama and Talla more relevance, as they were in jeopardy of fading into the background after splintering away from Solo Sikoa. Kudos to whoever came up with this idea, because now everyone seems to be in better places.CM Punk, Cody Rhodes brawl it outThe final segment of this week's show was a promo battle with CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. It started off hot when Punk cut off Rhodes' entrance right before the "Whoa!" OPE @cmpunk | @codyrhodespic.twitter.com/xZpUcOwCok WWE (@WWE) August 1, 2026They both marched to the ring and got right into it on the mic. After going back and forth about what theyre willing to do for the WWE title, and what it could mean for their friendship, things got physical. Rhodes said he already asked Green Bay 'What do you want to talk about?' He then wanted to know what Punk was willing to do about it on the spot. Punk removed his title, jacket, and bracelet, and dared Rhodes to swing. Rhodes took off his track jacket and let the fists fly. Security quickly intervened, but they two fought through them until the show faded to black.So much for friends... @CodyRhodes and @CMPunk are BEATING THE HELL out of each other! pic.twitter.com/lnNh36wF6w WWE (@WWE) August 1, 2026There's not much to takeaway from this other than the main event of Night 1 traded blows until the show went off the air.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters after practice on Friday at Missouri Western State University. He discussed rookie defensive back Mansoor Delane's progress at practice while recovering from his shoulder injury."He's (Mansoor Delane) a tough kid. He was a state wrestling champ and all that stuff. Tough kid. He wants to be out there. He wants to do everything." Said Reid, "We're not allowing him to use that arm. He's out there playing kind of one-handed. Until he's completely clear, we're going to keep an eye on him."Delane expressed his goal of being at his best while recovering from the injury at the start of camp. Reid is optimistic that he will be ready once padded practices get underway soon."When we get into the contact stuff," Reid said, "we'll back off a little bit on him there. But he's working his tail off and doing what he can do with that. It's great for him because he has to work his feet, his techniques, his level, how high are you rising up as guys are making moves on you, are you pedaling, what are you doing there. It actually works to his benefit in the long run."In his last season at LSU, Delane earned First Team All-SEC honors and was a unanimous All-American selection. He was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back.This article originally appeared on Chiefs Wire: Chiefs: Andy Reid discusses Mansoor Delane's training during recovery
