Free agent delays his move to Besiktas as he continues eye for Barcelona transferBarcelonas quest to replace Robert Lewandowski has yet to extend beyond Julian Alvarez, with the club still ready to wait for the Argentina international.Other players who have been linked with a move to Barcelona as a potential Alvarez alternative include Dusan Vlahovic, Fisnik Asllani and Eli Junior Kroupi.Among them, Vlahovic is perhaps the most financially feasible option as he is currently a free agent, having run down his contract at Juventus.Vlahovic waiting for BarcelonaA recent report from Diario SPORT has shed some colour on Vlahovics interesting position as a free agent.Vlahovic is keen on joining Barcelona. (Photo by Marco Luzzani/Getty Images)The striker is yet to find a new club but has an offer from Besiktas, who are willing hand him a net salary of 8 million, with an additional 5 million signing bonus.Its an offer no club is likely to match. But Vlahovic hasnt committed to it yet and has asked for more time to decide, even though Besiktas have already given him an ultimatum.Besiktas coach Vincenzo Italiano is keen on attaining the services of Vlahovic, having worked with the Serbian in the past. But the striker continues to stall a move.The report suggests Vlahovic is waiting on Barcelona, as he believes the Catalans will be forced to sign an alternative, if they fail on their pursuit of Alvarez.Will Barcelona sign Vlahovic?Vlahovic is ready to take the risk. (Photo by Gabriele Maltinti/Getty Images)It must be noted that Vlahovic was offered to Barcelona by his agent earlier in the summer, but the Catalans did not entertain the option as they were focusing on Alvarez.The strikers demands were not liked either. The player demanded a salary of 10 million and a signing bonus of 8 million, which were unattainable for the Catalan outfit.However, things have changed since. Barcelona have not made any inroads in the pursuit of Alvarez while Ferran Torres may leave the club, in favour of a move to PSG.That could leave Barcelona in a spot of bother, as they are without any natural number nine. The Catalans, though, still have reservations over Vlahovic. Although they acknowledge his quality, they believe his physical form has not been up to the mark. The player, nevertheless, is ready to wait and take a gamble.

Greg Rhodes is no stranger to winning.He devoted 29 years to coaching Western Texas College rodeo to excellence, producing 16 national champions and 28 gold and silver finishers.Now as head coach of Oklahoma Citys professional bull riding team, the Oklahoma Wildcatters, Rhodes plans to bring his championship pedigree to the highest level of the sport.Coaching a PBR team was an offer he simply could not pass up.It's like any athlete, Rhodes said. I mean, you want to be at the pinnacle of the sport, and so the PBR league is the next level.More: PBR Wildcatter Days: What to know about rodeo event at Paycom Center in OKCPBR Teams is a relatively new and unique opportunity for coaches like Rhodes. Launched in 2022, the league allows coaches to build a 12-rider roster through a draft while representing a host city.For nearly three decades, Rhodes believed college rodeo was the sport's only true coaching level.When this came along, it opened up a whole new ball game for individuals like myself, Rhodes said. And whenever they approached me and the opportunity came, yes, I was excited to jump on board.The Oklahoma Wildcatters joined the league as one of its 10 teams in 2024. During their first two seasons, they were coached by legendary bull rider J.B. Mauney.After finishing eighth and ninth overall in the PBR Teams standings over the last two years, the Wildcatters now turn to a veteran collegiate coach for something more.Youre having to give your peak performance every time you nod your head, whether its college or professionally in the sport of bull riding, Rhodes said. Its no different.He brings the same winning approach that made him one of college rodeo's most successful coaches.My motivation is to get these guys to a different level of performance, Rhodes said. That's what I did at the college level. You're dealing with an athlete that's geared a certain way at the professional level, and it's just seeing if you can introduce something to them or reinforce something that's going to elevate them another step or two.More: PBR partners with OKC's National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for its Hall of FameWildcatter Days, the team's annual homestand, returned to Paycom Center this weekend, running from Friday through Sunday. It marked the second event of the 12-event regular season.The opening night left coaches like Rhodes searching for answers as riders struggled to stay on their bulls. After the Nashville Stampede received a re-ride opportunity, the Wildcatters lost their matchup.It's a humbling sport, Rhodes said. There's a lot of coaches walking away tonight not feeling like they needed to feel after the event was over. But that's the sport of riding bulls.One highlight from Friday night came from Wildcatter Kaiden Loud, who recorded a career best 91.2-point ride in the PBR Teams league.Loud enjoys the teams format and the opportunity to compete under Rhodes and his coaching staff.It pays a lot, and it's fun. You get coaches to pick what bulls you're getting on, so it's always good, Loud said. Rhodes knows what hes doing.Now sitting at 1-2, the Wildcatters still have a long road ahead before the PBR Teams Championship in November.Rhodes remains confident in his Oklahoma team.I'm definitely happy with this team, Rhodes said. We got the right guys. We just have to figure out what's going to pull the trigger every night to get it done.Amanda Avila is a sports intern for The Oklahoman. Have a story idea forAmanda?

He measures in at six-foot-seven, 260 pounds.He has taken several visits to Big Ten schools throughout the recruiting process.

However, they are beginning to identify prospects both on the offensive line and at the edge position. Frierdich certainly falls into the offensive line category, and its clear Geep Wade wants to make a move at the tackle position. Wade has done a good job of building the offensive line, and this is no exception.Blessed to receive my 16th D1 Offer from the University of Nebraska #AGTG@CoachWilliams_7@GeepWade@CoachMattRhule@Sean_Callahan@BryanMunson_@RobinWashut@NebraskaRivals@SWiltfong_@AllenTrieu@EDGYTIM@JPRockMO@247Hudson@adamgorney@ChadSimmons_@OJW_Scoutingpic.twitter.com/AF9Sv5iOnT Joseph Frierdich (@JosephFrierdich) July 31, 2026Contact/Follow us @CornhuskersWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Nebraska news, notes and opinions.This article originally appeared on Cornhuskers Wire: Nebraska football in the mix for four-star offensive tackle

Motorsport photoFormer Sky Sports Formula 1 presenter Rachel Brookes has predicted a massive overhaul of the F1 grid, tipping four-time champion MaxVerstappen to join Mercedes and McLaren's Oscar Piastri to replace him at Red Bull.F1 is now in its summer break, and with that comes a lot of talk about potential driver movements for the upcoming season. While there have been no official announcements of team changes for any driver, speculation about who could go where is ramping up.Speaking on the Essential F1 podcast, Brookes suggested several driver changes,including an all-British line-up at McLaren and moves to Audi, Alpine and Williams forCarlosSainz, FernandoAlonso and FrancoColapinto."I still think Max is looking for an exit because he's showing us all what he can do right now and we're all impressed and we're like, 'Max is amazing', because he is," she began."But he wants to be winning again. He doesn't want to have to show that he can get a car that should be 10th up to second. He wants to be winning races again."As much as it looked easy for him before, he still wants to win. He still wants a trophy at home. With all the people who have left there now as well, I still feel that he's looking around going, 'I've done my time. I've given you everything I possibly can, and now I want to go somewhere I can win again.'"She added:"I feel that Max would still go to Mercedes. Max will go to Mercedes alongsideKimiAntonelli. Ferrari will be CharlesLeclercand Lewis Hamilton. Red Bull will beIsackHadjar and Oscar Piastri.Max Verstappen, Red Bull RacingMax Verstappen, Red Bull Racing"I think McLaren is potentiallyLando Norris and George Russell. I think FernandoAlonso will go to Alpine next year, Carlos Sainz will go to Audi. I thinkFranco Colapinto will go back to Williams. And I have Leonardo Fornaroligetting onto the grid, but I'm not 100% sure where yet."Elaborating on the suggested move of Verstappen to Mercedes, Brookes argued that team chief Toto Wolff still regrets not signing the Dutchman before he went to Red Bull."Max to Mercedes, it's just in my head still. Toto missed out on him before. I think that still bugs him. I also think Max would really love to go up against Kimi Antonelli."Verstappen has been linked with a Red Bull exit for some time. While it is understood that he is able to activate an exit clause in his contract with the Milton Keynes outfit as he is not in the top two in the drivers' standings, he has consistently refused to comment on rumours linking him to Mercedes and McLaren.There has also been speculation about a return to Alpine for two-time champion Alonso, and Williams's current performance struggles have led to increased talk that Sainz could consider an exit.To read more Motorsport.com articles visit our website.

One under-the-radar position battle taking place at training camp for the Indianapolis Colts doesn't appear to be off to a great start.While we know that Tanor Bortolini will be the Colts' starting center, it remains to be seen who the backup will be.Taking the bulk of those second-team snaps have been Dalton Tucker and Jimmy Morrissey. Also on the roster are UDFAs Geno VanDeMark and Josh Kreutz.Through four training camp practices, off-target or errant snaps have been far too common."One alarming item through the start of camp, and even something we saw in the spring, has been consistent snap issues with the backups," wrote Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan.Bowen adds that both Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson have had issues catching snaps as well.In past years, Danny Pinter has provided a steady backup presence at center, but he is now in Baltimore. Tucker doesn't have any regular-season -- or college -- snaps at center in his career. Morrissey has played 318 offensive snaps in five NFL seasons, with 258 of them coming in 2021. Kreutz and VanDeMark are rookies.This is an inexperienced group, and it's showing early in training camp.This article originally appeared on Colts Wire: Under-the-radar Colts' training camp competition off to shaky start
