Lazio director Angelo Fabiani denied the club’s reported interest in Inter forward Alexis Sanchez and confirmed the position of Valentin Castellanos.

Reports from Argentina suggested that the Biancocelesti had sent in an offer to the 35-year-old Chilean forward ahead of his contract’s expiration with the Nerazzurri at the end of June. He has also been linked with a move to River Plate.

In the meantime, Valentin Castellanos has continued to shine under new coach Igor Tudor and many Lazio fans are calling for him to replace Ciro Immobile in the starting line-up moving forward. The Biancocelesti captain has been rumoured to be on the way out in the summer.

Speaking to Il Messaggero (via TMW), Fabiani first discussed Lazio’s confidence in Castellanos.

We’re betting everything on Taty for next year, beyond any opportunities that arise in attack.

He was asked about the alleged interest in Alexis Sanchez, who will leave Inter on a free transfer at the end of June.

Our policy is clear and consistent, we will not sign players over 30.

Finally, Fabiani spoke about any interested in Fiorentina’s Rolando Mandragora and Union Berlin’s Robin Gosens.

I repeat, there are no ongoing negotiations and therefore nothing different on the market at the moment. We remain focused on the current season.

Falk: Diaz has made his intentions clear to Anfield chiefs over summer decision

Luis Diaz might not be at Anfield for long if we can’t match the money on the table being offered in the Bundesliga. Christian Falk, via The Daily Briefing, reports Bayern Munich are closing in on securing Luis Diaz—now it’s “just a question of money between the Bundesliga champions and Liverpool.” The Bavarians have already seen two bids knocked back—€52m (£43.3m) and €67.5m (£58.5m)—and are now in direct talks with us, with a third offer, reportedly around €70m (£60.7m) plus add-ons, being tabled. Widening wage gap sparks unrest over Diaz contract Bayern are offering Diaz a four‑year contract at €14m (£12.1m) gross annually—while he’s believed to be earning just €2.7m (£2.3m) net at Anfield. That sharp disparity has left him feeling undervalued. Falk adds: “he feels he would be better appreciated” in Germany—an issue not purely financial but psychological too. Liverpool may have to weigh up whether €70–80m for Diaz can help fund other key moves, especially with Colombian reports suggesting he’s not happy with the Reds at the moment. We’ve already broken the bank for Florian Wirtz (£116m record signing) and now with Hugo Ekitike also on the radar, a sale could allow us to pursue another marquee signing. It would be unlikely that we wouldn’t replace the Colombian should he exit, with Rodrygo being reportedly lined up already as an alternative to our No.7. Is this the turning point for Diaz’s Anfield exit? The 28‑year‑old Colombian has two years left on his contract—so we’re not forced to sell but with Bayern offering both financial appeal and clear intent, the situation has become urgent. We now have to weigh up whether it’s better to offer a new contract with an improved salary for Diaz, let his current deal to run down on a lower rate whilst risking him downing tools, or allow a sale this summer. This window could define his Liverpool legacy: stay ‘underpaid’ here or embrace a new chapter as Bayern’s headline act.

Deion Sanders says he's not 'all the way recovered' amid health issue

It seems like it might be a little longer before Deion Sanders can join the rest of his Colorado coaching staff. In a video recently posted by his son, Deion Sanders Jr, the NFL legend admitted that he's not yet fully recovered from his undisclosed health issue. “You know I’m still going through something,” the head coach said. “I ain’t all the way recovered.” Almost two weeks ago, Sanders took the stage at Big 12 media day, but he didn't want to address his health issues. “I’m not here to talk about my health,” Sanders said. “I’m here to talk about my team.” According to the Athletic, Sanders, who's recovering in his home in Texas, has been in close contact with his coaching staff. Colorado athletic director Rick George also said that Sanders would "probably" report to campus within the next two weeks, per the Athletic. The former Super Bowl winner has a long history of health concerns. He had two toes amputated in 2021 because of blood clots, and he went under the knife again in 2023 after reportedly dealing with some excruciating pain. The Buffaloes are transitioning into the post-Shedeur Sanders/Travis Hunter era and looking to build from last year's 9-4 record and big win at the Alamo Bowl.

Caitlin Clark drops mic on Kelsey Plum's Instagram post

Caitlin Clark might be the most popular figure in women's basketball right now, but she continues to draw shots left and right, both on and off the court. The Iowa product has stayed even keeled and mostly unrattled, but that doesn't mean she won't fight back. That's why, in the light of Kelsey Plum's recent comments, she decided to take matters into her own hands and clapped back at her with a simple, six-word message. Plum shared a picture of her during the WNBA's All-Star Weekend, which showed half of a Nike logo in the background. Clark was quick to spot it and just wrote "Thank u for the Nike ad." This happened just hours after Plum seemingly took a shot at Clark and her Team Clark teammates for reportedly not getting involved in their pre-game protest. “The T-shirt was determined this morning. Not to tattletale, but zero members of Team Clark were very present for that,” Plum revealed. “That really needed to be mentioned,” Sabrina Ionescu added while both laughed. WNBA All-Stars warmed up with a T-Shirt that read 'Pay us what you owe us,' ahead of their new CBA agreement, which is expected to be signed in the offseason. WNBA players get around 9 percent of the league's revenue, and they're asking for a bigger share since most of them also have to play overseas during the offseason because of the salary disparity. Plum is the vice president of the WNBPA, so it's not surprising to see her so involved in the protest and the demands. Then again, it's hard to understand the reasoning behind the tattle telling, as not only does it show that there might not be a united front ahead of these negotiations, but it also drives attention away from where it should be.

Kelsey Plum takes shot at Caitlin Clark after WNBA All-Star Game

On Saturday night, Kelsey Plum was part of Team Collier's 151-131 win over Team Clark in the WNBA All-Star Game, scoring 16 points, grabbing five rebounds and dishing out three assists. Following the game, the Los Angeles Sparks star was asked about WNBA All-Stars wearing shirts before the game that read, "Pay Us What You Owe Us." Specifically, Plum was asked about how that idea came together. "The T-shirt — just a united front," she said. "That was determined this morning, that we had a meeting for. Not to tattletale, but zero members of Team Clark were very present for that." Plum said it with a chuckle. However, she was sitting next to New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, who rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't really need to be mentioned" before laughing. It was awkward, especially because Caitlin Clark, as well as all of the members of Team Clark, wore the shirts. If Clark didn't wear the shirt, you could understand some backlash. But she did. It should also be noted that Team Collier featured the president of the WNBA Players Association, Nneka Ogwumike, as well as the first vice president, Plum, and two vice presidents, Napheesa Collier and Brenna Stewart. It makes sense if they took on greater leadership roles in a statement like this against the league. Whether Plum likes it or not, the reason the WNBA has any sort of leverage heading into these negotiations with the league is Clark. She would do well to remember that the next time she wants to take an unnecessary shot at Clark, who is responsible for the greatest surge in fan attention the WNBA has ever seen.
