SPORTS.YAHOO.COMManchester City Lets Real Madrid Know New Price For Signing RodriManchester City has set its asking price for Real Madrid target Rodri according to Sky Sports and Mundo Deportivo, who cited anonymous sources.Getty ImagesManchester City has set its asking price for Real Madrid target Rodri according to Sky Sports and Mundo Deportivo, who cited anonymous sources.The formers reporter Patrick Berger says that City value the best player at the recent 2026 World Cup won by Spain at $86.5 million (75 million).Yet Madrid doesnt want to pay more than 50 million leaving some 25 million to make up.Los Blancos and president Florentino Perez can perhaps do this by introducing variables into their offer. Once more when pursuing a high-profile player, who it often encourages to run down his contract and join for free as seen with Kylian Mbappe and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Madrid has the upper hand.This is because Rodris contract expires on June 30, 2027, making this the last summer that the Premier League giants could hope to cash in on its captain.Rodri joined City from Real Madrids crosstown rivals Atletico in 2019 when the Mancunians activated his $80.8 million (70 million) release clause. Since then, however, he has become a Champions League, Euros and World Cup winner while also beating Madrid winger Vinicius Jr. to the Ballon dOr in late 2024.Given his exploits for Spain in North America this summer, theres an argument for him to once again be adorned with the accolade for being the sports best male player. He should also face strong competition from an international teammate in FC Barcelonas Lamine Yamal, and possibly Mbappe.Where Rodri will be playing his football when the France Football award ceremony takes place in Paris on October 26 is another matter.The quoted fee is still a bargain for Real Madrid to acquire RodriEven if Madrid has to match Citys asking price as a fixed fee or through a lump sum and variables, its still a bargain for a player at the peak of his powers.Rodris ACL rupture history might be a concern, but he showed at the World Cup thats in the rearview now with the rest of his career peak ahead of him.As a model professional, Rodri should still have plenty of years to enjoy in the elite. Furthermore, hes exactly the type of midfielder Real Madrid has lacked since the departures of serial Champions League rulers Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. Hed be able to offer control in the center of the park for new Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, while allowing the likes of Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde to roam free in a more attacking fashion.This article was originally published on Forbes.com0 Comments 0 Shares 65 Views 0 Reviews

He commented on the excitement for the new season, noting the development at training camp and Patrick Mahomes's full participation with the team."Good. Yeah, I feel great. Yeah, I feel awesome.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMWWE SummerSlam 2026 Preview And Predictions For SundaySeth Rollins has dominated his singles rivalries with Roman Reigns. (Credit: Meg Oliphant/WWE via Getty Images)WWE via Getty ImagesWWE SummerSlam 2026 kicked off on Saturday with a newsworthy show, and its ramifications will extend beyond SummerSlam Sunday.On Night One of WWEs two-night PLE, CM Punk successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Cody Rhodes thanks to the return of Randy Orton, and Oba Femi slayed Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell in a true passing of the torch moment. This Sunday inside U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis once again, WWE will host six more marquee matches that will have substantial effects on WWEs future creative direction.Here is a preview of WWE SummerSlam Sunday, headlined by Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship.FORBES | By Blake OestriecherWWE SummerSlam 2026 Results As LA Knight Finally Topples The BloodlineWWE SummerSlam 2026 Preview For Sunday (Night Two)Here is the full card for Night Two (Sunday) of WWE SummerSlam 2026:World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Seth RollinsIntercontinental Championship: Penta (c) vs. Chad GableWWE United States Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Baron CorbinNo. 1 Contenders Match: Finn Balor (c) vs. Sami ZaynFive-Way Ladder Match for the Interim WWE Womens Championship: Charlotte Flair vs. Chelsea Green vs. Jade Cargill vs. Lash Legend vs. Tiffany Stratton Human Monies on a Pole Match: Danhausen vs. Dominik MysterioThe winner of Balor vs. Zayn becomes the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship, which Punk successfully defended on SummerSlam Saturday. Similarly, the winner of the womens ladder match will go on to face WWE Womens Champion Rhea Ripley, whos currently injured, for the title down the road.WWE SummerSlam 2026 Streaming Info For SundayDate: Sunday, Aug. 2Location: U.S. Bank Stadium (Minneapolis)Start Time: 6 pm EST/5 pm CST (3 pm PST)Streaming Info: ESPN Unlimited (United States), Netflix (internationally)WWE SummerSlam 2026 Predictions For SundayWorld Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) Vs. Seth RollinsMuch like the Punk vs. Rhodes match, WWE took an incredibly complicated and convoluted path to get to Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins at WWE SummerSlam.All WWE had to do was have Rollins win King of the Ring instead, and this would have made a ton more sense. Instead, WWE had Oba Femi shockingly delay (or perhaps even forfeit) his guaranteed world title match, so Rollins vs. Reigns feels like a bit of a letdown even if WWE is acting as if this is some sort of monumental match.In reality, its not. Rollins vs. Reigns has been done many times before, and WWE is pushing the story that Reigns cant beat Rollins one-on-one. Thats telegraphing the ending, which is almost assuredly Reigns beating Rollins, perhaps decisively but likely with help from The Bloodline, who lost on SummerSlam Saturday.Prediction: ReignsNo. 1 Contenders Match: Finn Balor (c) Vs. Sami ZaynSami Zayn recently held the WWE Championship for just nine days, and yet, his pursuit of the title is far from over.As Zayn remains in the WWE title orbit, hes just one win away from getting another crack it. At SummerSlam, he will face SmackDown newcomer Finn Balor, who is undefeated since moving to the blue brand, where hes been receiving a new push near the top of the card.Although Balor is sizzling hot these days, its difficult not to believe that his sudden push has been a setup just to give Zayn a popular babyface to beat. Zayn should win at SummerSlam and then reignite his feud with Punk in what could be a great WWE Championship rivalry.Prediction: ZaynWWE United States Championship: Trick Williams (c) Vs. Baron CorbinBaron Corbin recently made his triumphant return to WWE and has instantly been positioned as a major threat in the upper midcard.Given the way Corbin was pushed during his previous tenure (it was very up-and-down), theres no telling how long his current push will actually last. Still, Corbin has come back fresh and on top of his game, and if WWE fans are going to take him more seriously this time around, he essentially has to win at SummerSlam.Trick Williams is one of WWEs hottest acts right now, and truth be told, hes already ready to be above the US title level. A controversial loss to Corbin at SummerSlam may actually be a blessing in disguise.Prediction: CorbinIntercontinental Championship: Penta (c) Vs. Chad GableAfter an incredible run as Original El Grande Americano in AAA, Chad Gable is on the verge of becoming WWEs next main event star. The Intercontinental Championship is, of course, a nice stepping stone to main event status.Penta has been exceptional as Intercontinental Champion on Raw, where hes helped elevate that title as a defending champion. However, Gable is the hotter hand at the moment, and WWE would be remiss to miss out on an opportunity to elevate him up the card.Given that Gable is from Minnesota, SummerSlam 2026 is the perfect time and place to crown him the new Intercontinental Champion.Prediction: GableFive-Way Ladder Match For The Interim WWE Womens Championship: Chelsea Green Vs. Charlotte Flair Vs. Jade Cargill Vs. Lash Legend Vs. Tiffany StrattonWWE is doing something it rarely does here and is crowning an interim champion while Rhea Ripley recovers from a knee injury.The fact that WWE isnt simply stripping Ripley of the title suggests that the company wants to keep Ripley as champion long-term. What that also implies is that whoever wins the interim championship in the star-studded SummerSlam ladder match will likely be an established star.Anyone in the bout would make a formidable champion, but given Flairs lengthy history with Ripley, that is the most high-profile unification bout WWE could possibly do down the road. With WWE announcing Cargill vs. Flair for this weeks SmackDown episode, it makes even more sense to have Flair hold the Interim WWE Womens Championship to make that dream match for the title.Prediction: Charlotte FlairHuman Monies On A Pole Match: Danhausen vs. Dominik MysterioDanhausen, WWEs comedy extraordinaire, picked up a big victory over Judgment Days JD McDonagh at Saturday Nights Main Event. Beating Dominik Mysterio, however, would seemingly be a bigger challenge, and the recent addition of the Human Monies on a Pole stipulation will surely send this bout into comedy chaos.McDonagh is typically the fall guy for his stable, and given that SNME took place in New York City, where Danhausen is widely beloved, he never stood a chance. Mysterio is much higher up on WWEs pecking order, though, and while Danhausen is wildly popular, that popularity doesnt mean he will be dominant in the ring.Much like R-Truth, Danhausen can lose often and still be well-liked by WWE fans. He should lose at WWE SummerSlam too, with Mysterio getting some revenge thanks to an assist from his fellow stablemates.Prediction: MysterioThis article was originally published on Forbes.com0 Comments 0 Shares 82 Views 0 Reviews

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMSelfies, signatures & social media - how Kerr embraced Glasgow Games[PA Media]Josh Kerr didn't get much sleep last night. "There's no time for that. Glasgow on the weekend, mate, it's bouncing," the Scot said with a slight croak in his voice.The response - 11 hours after his Commonwealth Games mile victory - was entirely in keeping with the way Kerr has conducted himself this week. Embedded with Team Scotland, back home among his own people, and absolutely revelling in it. Look at his social media. Reels of the 28-year-old running around the streets of the city. In its parks and on its tracks. Pictures of him loosening off under a Kingston Bridge flyover in a hotel car park. Images of him engaging with the crowd. His crowd, the people who came to see the mile record holder on Saturday night. Among them were Kerr's grandparents and nephews, his first ever coach, and his training partners from when he was 11 or 12. There, too, were hundreds of awestruck kids. Some of them budding athletes themselves. Others who might now want to be. Just like Kerr was when the Games came to Glasgow in 2014, with dreams of emulating those he saw race at Hampden.That memory was in mind as the Edinburgh athlete slowly worked his way back down the home straight from the podium after his emotional medal ceremony. It's why every fan who asked for a selfie got why. Why he signed his name over and over again. Why he gave them his time and his attention. Sure, Kerr was soaking up his moment of glory, but he was giving something back too."I'm just trying to create a moment for them," he told BBC Sport Scotland. "There is absolutely nothing stopping any of them going out and doing what that I've just done. I believe if you grow up in Scotland, you can be one of the best runners in history of these distances. I'm not doing anything outrageously special."Saturday scrap ends with emotional Kerr winning fightKerr on why Commonwealth mile glory matters to himBritain's Kerr breaks 27-year mile world record in LondonHoy, Murray... now Kerr?Plenty would quibble with Kerr on that. After all, covering four laps and change in three minutes 42.66 seconds to set a new world record - having told people exactly when and how you're going to do it - seems both outragous and special.He was nowhere near as quick as that at a blustery Scotstoun but, even though he took just over 11 seconds more to complete the 1,609m, the Scot still put on a show on a track where he used to race - and regularly lose - as a child.Having been enjoyably candid about his goals for the summer - smashing a 27-year-old standard and winning Games gold - Kerr concedes there is relief about following word with deed. But the expection has also been infused with enjoyment, too."This whole experience has been really fun for me, too, actually," he said. "I use to come to Glasgow quite a lot to hang out with friends I made through athletics and, it's funny, we're staying pretty close to where we'd meet up and walk around town. "The city is buzzing with Games and it's just nice to be a part of that and really feed off the feed off the city."It all culminated for Kerr with listening to Flower of Scotland playing while he stood, bottom lip twitching, on the podium. Several times he had to stop singing to compose himself and, when the music stopped, he had to wipe tears from his eyes.Scotland matters to him in a way that those many natives who have lived outside the country will recognise. Albuquerque in New Mexico is his base now - something his accent and phraseology sometime betrays - but Edinburgh will always be home."It's it's everything to me," Kerr said of his nationality. "It's the way I present myself and the way I was built. I grew up in Edinburgh until I was 17 and I'm very proud to be Scottish. I'm back four times a year right now, which I feel pretty good about."With that said, how does he feel about being considered a sporting standard bearer for his country? As a successor to the likes of Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Andy Murray?"Um, yeah, that, that sounds, yeah, I mean, it's an honour to be, to be spoken in the same sentence as those two legends," said the loquacious Kerr, for once struggling for words as the notion takes hold. "Sir Chris Hoy went to my school, actually, and spoke a few times during assemblies and that just closed the gap between me and him for when I was sitting there as a pupil. It made it seem possible. "Hopefully I can do that, too, but those two guys are absolute legends of the game and I've got a lot of work to do to keep up with them."Keeping up, as Kerr has proved this summer, is not something he tends to struggle with.0 Comments 0 Shares 58 Views 0 Reviews

It was cool just having a vision in your head and then making it come to fruition, Moody said, and being able to actually see it turn out even better than you could have imagined it. He was everything you could have ever asked him to be, Moody said of Stephen Curry. He flew in, woke up at 4 oclock in the morning Friday to get here by seven for the golf tournament. Then he woke up at 6 in the morning Saturday to be here at the school for the event. He had the energy and the effort for everybody. I hope he enjoyed it.
