🎥 Stunning curling effort enough to lift Girona past Wolves

LaLiga side Girona were the ones smiling by full time on Sunday following a 2-1 victory over the Premier League's Herrera 51', Roca 56'; Arias 78' Following a goalless first half, it was two moments in the span of five minutes that undid the visitors in Spain during an entertaining second half. Yangel Herrera opened the scoring after redirecting a cross into the box before the goal of the night secured the victory beautifully. A stunning curling effort from Joel Roca found the top right corner as the stadium erupted and he celebrated with fans, arms outstretched. Wolves, wanting to give some extra legs a few minutes during pre-season, then made five changes. One man entering the game was Jhon Arias, who made his first appearance for the club. And it was quite the individual moment, too, as he pulled one back 12 minutes after coming on. Arias broke into the box and fired the ball high beyond the goalkeeper, but his late efforts were not enough to inspire a turnaround, seeing things end 2-1. 📸 Judit Cartiel - 2025 Getty Images

Dez Bryant hits back at Jerry Jones after getting dragged into Micah Parsons saga: ‘We can have story time'

Dez Bryant and Roc Nation are calling out Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for dragging them into the messy Micah Parsons negotiations. Bryant called out Jones for being 'disrespectful' in comments made Saturday rehashing negotiations between the former wide receiver and the team's front office in 2015. 'Jerry Jones I don't think it's smart to mention my name,' Bryant posted Saturday on X. 'I kept quiet about a lot of unfair s–t…We can have story time if that's what we are doing. 3 Dez Bryant is pictured during a December 2017 game for the Cowboys. Getty Images 3 Jerry Jones, owner of the Cowboys, is pictured on July 26. Imagn Images 'Y'all don't understand the amount of s–t I let slide,' he added in another post. 'Do not mention my name about s–t.' Jones had brought up Bryant to reporters Saturday while being questioned about the recent trade request by Parsons, the Cowboys' four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher who had posted Friday on X that 'I no longer want to be here' and 'no longer want to be held to close door negotiations without my agent present.' When asked about the latter contention, the 82-year-old Jones told reporters, 'When we have a problem with the player, the agent is nowhere to be found.' Jones then brought up negotiations a decade ago with Bryant and Roc Nation Sports, the agency run by Jay-Z. 'Jay-Z said that Dez would make all meetings. Jay-Z and I negotiated the contract, spent hours,' Jones said. 'He said, 'Anybody in my organization is on time.' He said, 'My office used to be on the street corner, and I've always been early. So, they will be on time.' 3 Micah Parsons is pictured at Cowboys training camp on July 22. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'And what did I say? I said, 'I'm going to call you [if I have a problem].' He quit taking my call.' Bryant landed a five-year deal worth $70 million before the 2015 NFL season, but he was released in 2018. Roc Nation also issued a statement Saturday on X refuting Jones' claims. 'In 2015, at the 21 Club, on a napkin, Jerry Jones, Juan Perez, Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter and Stephen Jones negotiated a five-year, $70 million deal, which included a $45 million guarantee and a $20 million signing bonus for Dez Bryant,' the post read. 'At the time, it was the second-largest contract for a wide receiver in NFL history. The claim that Mr. Carter or Roc Nation representatives did not return a call from Jerry Jones is not only a false statement, but it's also a comical one.'

Wolves Interested in ‘Hijacking' Deal for La Liga Defender

Wolves Weigh Up Late Move for Juanlu Sanchez Right-Back Search Intensifies Wolverhampton Wanderers have added a new name to their summer shortlist, with Sevilla right-back Juanlu Sanchez emerging as a serious option. According to Sky Sports News, 'Wolves are considering a move to hijack Napoli's bid for Sevilla right-back Juanlu Sanchez.' The 21-year-old Spain U21 international has attracted growing interest following a standout campaign in La Liga. Napoli have been in discussions with Sevilla for several weeks and have already agreed personal terms with the player's representatives. Yet, as negotiations between the clubs drag on, Wolves are now exploring the conditions of a possible deal. Despite no formal contact between the clubs as of yet, Sky Sports reports that 'the Premier League side [is] exploring the conditions of a possible deal through intermediaries.' Photo: IMAGO Emerging Profile and Key Attributes Sanchez's versatility and maturity at such a young age have earned him admirers across Europe. Deployed primarily as a right-back, he is equally comfortable as a wing-back in systems that require overlapping runs and tactical awareness. His crossing ability and positional intelligence have grown significantly under the guidance of Sevilla's coaching staff. Still early in his career, Sanchez has already featured for Spain at U21 level, reinforcing his status as one of the country's emerging talents. Wolves' recruitment strategy underlines a continued focus on developing young, high-potential players, and Sanchez would be a natural fit. Napoli Delay Creates Opportunity Napoli have been working on the transfer for nearly a month. While they have reached agreement with the player's camp, talks with Sevilla have been slower than expected. This has opened a window of opportunity for other clubs to intervene. Wolves have a track record of pouncing when deals stall elsewhere. Though this remains an exploratory move at this stage, the interest is clearly genuine. Sanchez is 'one of a number of targets for the Premier League club,' according to Sky Sports News, but the fact that Wolves are actively investigating the conditions speaks to their intent. With the new Premier League season fast approaching, securing additional depth at right-back remains a priority for Vítor Pereira's side. Photo: IMAGO Fit Within Wolves' Tactical Setup Sanchez's attacking instincts and ability to play higher up the pitch align well with Wolves' ambitions to play more proactive, fluid football. The club needs a long-term solution who can adapt quickly to English football. Sanchez's La Liga pedigree and international experience offer a solid foundation, while his technical skillset suits the demands of the Premier League. The timing could be ideal, especially with Napoli yet to finalise a deal. Our View – EPL Index Analysis For Wolves fans, this kind of link is exactly what you want to see in the transfer window. Juanlu Sanchez might not be a household name in England yet, but anyone watching La Liga last season knows how capable he is. Quick, intelligent, confident in possession, he has the profile that suits the modern Premier League right-back. Sanchez coming in would signal long-term planning, not just a quick fix. At 21, there is still plenty of growth ahead, but he already looks composed and switched on defensively, with the confidence to support attacks. The fact that Wolves are using intermediaries shows the club are being strategic. No rush, no panic, just smart preparation in case Napoli fail to close the deal. That is the sort of groundwork Wolves need to do more of, especially when trying to unearth talent before it becomes too expensive. Sanchez would be welcomed at Molineux. He brings energy, intelligence, and European experience. If Wolves can step in and secure the deal, it might prove to be one of the most important signings of the summer.
