Forest set to miss out on Juventus forward Weah
Juventus winger Timothy Weah has reportedly rejected a move to Nottingham Forest, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The 25-year-old was strongly linked with the Premier League club, with talks having advanced. Several sources claimed the clubs had agreed on the terms of the transfer.

Forest are looking to strengthen their squad as they prepare to compete in the Europa Conference League next season.
However, it appears the deal will not go through. Weah has no interest in joining Forest and is not expected to change his mind.
Forest must move on from Weah
Weah is currently part of the Juventus squad playing at the Club World Cup. He has helped the Serie A club reach the round of 16.
The United States international enjoyed a decent season with Juventus in all competitions, recording six goals and three assists. He is keen to improve on those numbers.
The winger is expected to remain at the Allianz Stadium unless another offer is made that suits both the club and player.

Weah joined Juventus from Lille and has continued to develop. While Forest were hopeful of convincing him, they will have to look elsewhere for reinforcements.
The two-time European champions need players who are committed to the cause, and Weah clearly does not fit the bill.

Rumor: Steelers offered Watt new deal — but not Myles Garrett money
T.J. Watt's contract dilemma just took another unexpected turn, as longtime sportswriter Mark Kaboly reported that the belief is the Steelers have presented a contract offer to Watt — just not one that he'd sign. Kaboly recently explained on his podcast with co-host Chris Mack what he believes the holdup might be: Advertisement "I'm under the belief that there is a contract offer on the table right now — which is pretty significant. However, it's probably not what [Watt] thinks it is." Mack clarified that the deal isn't "Garrett money," to which Kaboly responded: "Yes. I'm not one hundred percent sure on that, but it's not like they're offering him, you know, $15 million and 'Hey, you're playing for the Steelers, so take it right now.' There is an offer on the table." It was previously rumored that Watt was seeking to surpass Garrett's $123.5 million in guaranteed money. This is no easy feat to accomplish, as the Browns edge rusher more than reset the market — he practically destroyed it.

Pep Guardiola singles out Manchester City star for praise after Juventus drubbing
Erling Haaland was at the receiving end of some special praise from manager Pep Guardiola after netting his 300th career goal in Manchester City's 5-2 thrashing of Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup. City finished their group-stage campaign in style as goals from Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland and Savinho helped Guardiola's men take revenge on the Old Lady, who got the better of the Blues in the UEFA Champions League group-stage last term. Advertisement Manchester City seem to have their mojo back since arriving in the United States after a disappointing and uncharacteristically trophyless season, which saw the Blues finish third in the Premier League, exit the UEFA Champions League at the Round of 16 stage and lose the FA Cup final to Crystal Palace. However, the ship seems to have turned and the course is now being led by newly-appointed director of football Hugo Viana, who has spearheaded City's transfer business this summer since taking over from Txiki Begiristain. City have secured the arrival(s) of Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Rayan Cherki in June, laying down an early marker to signify their intent to challenge for all trophies next term as they plan for life beyond Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne was not given a new contract as he approached the closing months of his most recent deal at the Etihad Stadium, with the 34-year-old joining Napoli on a free transfer after agreeing a two-year deal with the recently-crowned Serie A champions. Advertisement Guardiola has been given a new lease of life with a quartet of new signings as well as a major shuffle in his coaching staff, with Pepijn Lijnders and James French joining in as assistant and set-piece coaches following the departures of Juanma Lillo, Carlos Vicens and Inigo Dominguez. Manchester City have enjoyed a perfect run in the Club World Cup so far and have progressed to the Round of 16 after topping their group, where they will face Al-Hilal as they seek to go all the way and secure a much-needed piece of silverware to kick off the 2025-26 campaign. Haaland was in amongst the goals against Juventus as the Norway international latched onto a Matheus Nunes cross and tapped the ball into an empty net to grab the 300th goal of his career – a remarkable feat for a 24-year-old forward playing in the best league in world football. Launching praise on his talisman after the midweek rout of Juventus, Guardiola said: 'All I can say is congratulations, scoring 300 goals at 24 years old, this is quite good right? Advertisement 'Hopefully he (Haaland) can do it, this manager now, his manager was an incredible football player. You are too young, you didn't see me, but I scored 11 in 11 years, imagine that situation! 'I admire a lot the good strikers. I'm so happy for Erling (Haaland), for his goal again and being involved in the short spaces. It was really good.'
