Al-Hilal want Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak
Al-Hilal are looking to make a big statement by considering a massive offer to convince both Newcastle United and Alexander Isak over a summer deal, according to Sky Sports Italy journalist Gianluca Di Marzio. The Public Investment Fund-owned are keen on the Newcastle star, but the Magpies are not ready to let him leave the St James' Park club anytime soon. Liverpool were willing to offer around £120 million for Isak, but the Toons insisted he is not for sale this summer. Al-Hilal would be ready to offer more, but Newcastle are unlikely to be open to doing business with them despite having the same owners with the Saudi Pro League club.

Dave Portnoy calls out ‘morons' who think WNBA players shouldn't get more money
Dave Portnoy is fed up with those who believe WNBA players don't deserve a higher payday. In the wake of players wearing warmup shirts that said 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' at Saturday's All-Star Game, the Barstool Sports founder and owner made his stance clear with a lengthy post and subsequent video on X on Sunday. 'I don't know how anybody in the world with a brain, and maybe my brain is just bigger than most, can rationally say women don't deserve more money at this point,' Portnoy said in the video. Portnoy went on to reference how Caitlin Clark's rookie salary, $76,000, is less than what Barstool personalities Nicky Smokes and Ben Mintz make per year, calling the disparity 'insane.' As of the 2024 season, the WNBA's average salary was $147,745, according to DirecTV. Portnoy noted how some WNBA critics have referenced reports of the league losing tens of millions of dollars each year, but said the finances of the league are 'a mess, tied in with the NBA and purposely murky.' 3 Barstool Sports founder and owner Dave Portnoy thinks WNBA players deserve a pay raise. @stoolpresidente/X In October 2024, The Post reported the WNBA would be losing $40 million in the 2025 season. But, as Portnoy put it, the league is 'exploding.' 'Franchise values are exploding. Ticket sales, merch, tv rights all exploding. The players have an opt out in their CBA. Of course they took it. It's all about leverage in re-negotiations and for the 1st time in history of [the] league players have power,' Portnoy wrote. 3 Dave Portnoy attends a game between the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun at TD Garden on July 15. NBAE via Getty Images The league agreed to an 11-year, $2.2 billion TV rights deal with Disney, Amazon Prime Video and NBCUniversal last summer, and TV ratings (up 23%), ticket sales (up 26%) and attendance (13%) are all surging halfway through the season, according to NPR. 'The players make virtually nothing while the entire league explodes,' Portnoy added. 'Of course they deserve more money.' Portnoy, who is one of Caitlin Clark's most vocal superfans, also refuted the notion that the league's recent success is unsustainable because it over-relies on Clark's star power. 'This league is so white hot right now, and I know everyone's going to say, 'Well, it's only Caitlin Clark, it's a one-person league,'' Portnoy said. 'Caitlin Clark was 100% the match that lit the fuse…but, Caitlin's not going anywhere. She's year two of a 15-year career.' 3 Fever star Caitlin Clark wearing a 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' shirt before the WNBA All-Star Game on July 19.

Portnoy concluded by writing that if he could purchase a Boston-based WNBA franchise for $250 million, he 'would do it without blinking.' 'That's all you got to know about the WNBA finances,' he added.

Athletic Club table offer for Al-Nassr star
La Liga outfit Athletic Club this week moved forward with an opening bid for a former member of the club's defensive ranks. The player in question? Aymeric Laporte. Stopper Laporta is widely expected to be on the move before the summer is out. The Spanish international is no longer part of the plans at Saudi outfit Al-Nassr, fresh off sealing a deal for Feyenoord standout Dávid Hancko. With Laporte still held in high regard across Europe, a whole host of clubs have in turn been credited with an interest in his services. And as alluded to above, this week, one such suitor went as far as to send a proposal for his signature the way of Al-Nassr. As per a report from market insider Fabrizio Romano: 'Athletic Club made first verbal proposal to Al Nassr today for Aymeric Laporte. Laporte, out of Al Nassr project at this stage with Athletic Club pushing to make it happen.' Conor Laird – GSFN
