Monaco's Yann Lienard set for Montpellier loan
Lienard has come through the ranks at Monaco but has made just one appearance, during a Coupe de France win over Union Saint-Jean last December. However, his route to first-team football is currently blocked. Radoslaw Majecki and Philipp Köhn are both in front of him in the pecking order. Another goalkeeper is expected to arrive this summer. There are ongoing talks with Bayer Leverkusen's Lukas Hradecky. Should a new No.1 arrive, as expected, either Köhn or Majecki are expected to leave.
In any case, opportunities for Lienard will be limited during the upcoming season. Toubache-Ter now understands that the French goalkeeper is set to join Ligue 2 side Montpellier. They are in the market for a new No.1 following the departure of Benjamin Lecomte, who has joined Fulham.

AS Monaco beats Arminia Bielefeld without a hitch
Never really worried defensively and clinical offensively, the Rouge et Blanc secured a third victory of their preseason against Arminia Bielefeld (0-3). They once again showed their seriousness. Facing Arminia Bielefeld, recently promoted to the German second division, AS Monaco perfectly controlled this match, winning 3-0 at the SchücoArena. Unbeaten after four warm-up matches, the Rouge et Blanc have still not conceded a single goal ahead of the three matches awaiting them this week.. Recap. ✍️ A second goal of preseason for Biereth At the start of this fourth friendly match, Adi Hütter positioned his team in a 4-4-2 formation, including Soungoutou Magassa's first start this season. Breel Embolo and Mika Biereth led the line in attack. And the latter was again effective in front of goal as it was he who opened the scoring with a shot at the near post to give himself his second goal of preseason (0-1, 24′). A new eleven at halftime The Danish striker then came close to doubling the lead shortly afterward, but failed to cut out a good cross from Kassoum Ouattara (26′). The Rouge et Blanc gradually gained the upper hand in the match, and our number 14 soon created another opportunity, but his shot was blocked (35′). However, the home side were wary of Tim Handwerker's attempt, which narrowly missed Philipp Köhn's post (38′). A goal down at halftime, the Monaco coach took the opportunity to change all his outfield players, including the returns of Christian Mawissa, Vanderson, and Folarin Balogun. Brunner and Akliouche make the difference It was a reshuffle that paid off immediately, as after a marvelous team move started by the Monaco goalkeeper, Paris Brunner doubled the lead with a header from Caio Henrique (0-2, 50′). It was only his first goal in La Diagonale jersey! The result was then definitively sealed 11 minutes later by Maghnes Akliouche following a quickly taken free kick (0-3, 61′). The Principality club's players were imperious in the second half, with Denis Zakaria (71′) and then Folarin Balogun twice (74, 77′) seeing their shots stopped by Jonas Kerksen, while Lucas Michal's shot went just wide (78′). At the other end, Philipp Köhn was reassuring in keeping out a long-range shot (87′). A third win and a fourth clean sheet This was the final chance in what was a perfectly controlled match for AS Monaco, who recorded their fourth clean sheet in as many matches, as well as their third win of the preseason. The Rouge et Blanc now face a busy week, starting with two matches against Torino at the Performance Center (Wednesday, 6 p.m., then Thursday at 10:30 a.m.), and a trip to Ajax (next Sunday, 2:30 p.m.).

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic's agent sparks rumors with LeBron James ‘big plans' tease
The post Nuggets' Nikola Jokic's agent sparks rumors with LeBron James 'big plans' tease appeared first on ClutchPoints. Nikola Jokic has till now been a one-team star. This is despite the fact that modern NBA has seen some major teamups, and some of them have involved names like LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Now 40, James is still looking for that elusive fifth ring, and is at a crossroads with the Los Angeles Lakers. Having taken up his player option for the upcoming season, the Lakers look determined to build around Luka Doncic for the present and the future. Amidst it all, none other than the Serbian Nikola Jokic's agent was seen hanging out with James at a picturesque destination. On Instagram, the Denver Nuggets' superstar longterm agent Miško Ražnatović posted two photographs alongside LeBron James and Maverick Carter on a boat in Saint Tropez. However, the caption elevated a simple vacation post into something far more sinister. 'The summer of 2025 is the perfect time to make big plans for the fall of 2026! @kingjames @mavcarter,' BeoBasket's Raznatovic wrote. LeBron James is set to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the coming season. The Lakers have shown signs of wanting to move on from The King to instead focus on building around Luka Doncic. With James surely in the twilight of his career, another big move, the last of his career, may be on the cards. Considering the hue and cry surrounding his future, Nikola Jokic's agent seemed well aware of what he was doing with the post's caption. A potential Jokic-LeBron teammate does not only make financial sense considering the Nuggets are expected to have enough cap space in 2026. It will also be a war cry for the rest of the NBA considering two of the greatest players the league has ever seen can potentially team up together. That in itself may force the Nuggets' hand in the future, considering the Lakers look likely to move on and focus on younger players who match Doncic's timeline.

Deossa's agent in Monterrey to discuss his departure
Nelson Deossa's future remains up in the air, perhaps closer to Europe than Monterrey... This Sunday it was reported that the Colombian's agent is in Nuevo León, to discuss the player's departure with the Rayados management, amid growing interest from Real Betis to secure his services. Deossa has a release clause of 20 million dollars, so the 12 million dollars offered by the green and white team are far from the club's expectations. However, it is expected that they can reach an agreement for 15 million dollars. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
