As is usually the case, the first four rounds of games will be played on consecutive weekends, Thursday to Sunday, before the domestic national leagues start. Gamedays 5 and 6 then go on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in October.

Inter enter race to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Granit Xhaka

Granit Xhaka's Bayer Leverkusen future has been well documented, and a new club are interested in signing the Bundesliga and German Cup winner. Bild cite Gazzetta dello Sport of Inter's interest in signing the 32-year-old, whose future could lay away from the BayArena. Saudi club Neom SC did reach a verbal agreement with Xhaka, but the Swiss midfielder appears hesitant on a move to the Middle East because of family reasons. Sunderland, another interested club, are also unwilling to increase their offer, which Inter have been made aware of via an intermediary. As such, the Italian side have entered the race to sign Xhaka. Christian Chivu, who replaced Simone Inzaghi at Inter, sees Xhaka as the ideal replacement for Nicolo Barella with Hakan Çalhanoğlu reportedly set for a €25m transfer to Fenerbahce. Milan also showed an interest in signing Xhaka, but a move never materialised. Speaking in an interview with Bild during Bayer Leverkusen's pre-season tour of Brazil, Erik ten Hag said: 'If it's up to me, Granit should stay.' GGFN | Daniel Pinder

Eagles' Jordan Mailata sees shades of Micah Parsons in ascending young teammate

Fresh off a whirlwind Super Bowl championship, the Philadelphia Eagles had to turn their attention to the 2025 league year in short order. For a team that harassed Patrick Mahomes and dominated the Chiefs' offensive front in SBLIX, the state of Philly's pass rush was easy for fans and analysts alike to question entering the offseason. All-time franchise great Brandon Graham announced his retirement in March, and the writing was on the wall in permanent ink when it came to Bryce Huff and his untenable situation. As a result, Philly's pass rush will look a lot different in 2025, especially on the outside. With all due respect to free agent signings Azeez Ojulari and Josh Uche, and sixth-round rookie Antwaun Powell-Ryland, the Eagles have a lot to prove in that department as training camp officially kicks off this week. The good news? The Eagles have two young aces in the hole. Nolan Smith Jr.'s breakout season got some national attention during last year's run, especially over the second half of the season. The key contributor who flew more under the radar was Jalyx Hunt, a third-round rookie who filled a prominent role in Philly's EDGE rotation from Week 10 on. Hunt is now entering Year 2, fully entrenched as the Eagles' starter opposite Smith. He has the task of lining up opposite left tackle Jordan Mailata in 11-on-11 drills during practice, and Mailata sees an ascending star in the 24-year-old. Mailata went as far as comparing Mailata to one of the NFL's premiere pass rushers — Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys. 'Jalyx? Oh, man. He's going to be special,' Mailata said with a wide smile during a sit-down with the media on Wednesday. 'Just his burst. He has tendencies like Micah, just to be able to cut on a dime like that. I'm so proud of that guy, the way he works. 'How did I go from Josh Sweat to Jalyx, man?' Mailata added of his practice assignments. 'It's crazy. It's like Howie, give me a break for one year. … Jalyx is going to be a star, man. And I'm glad that I get to go up against him, because I know that if he's giving me hell, he's going to give everyone else hell.' That's obviously extremely high praise from a player Pro Football Focus graded No. 1 among all offensive tackles in football last season. Hunt appears poised to continue his upward trajectory from his rookie year, and the Eagles are clearly banking on that based on how they addressed the EDGE position this offseason.
