Germany international and Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah has confirmed that he will be leaving his current club upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2024-25 season, which brings the possibility of a free transfer to Serie A clubs Inter and Milan. 

Tah, who has 35 international caps to his name with Germany, has told Kicker that he has informed Leverkusen of his decision to leave the club at the end of the current season. 

“Everything has been said from the beginning. There was a point in time where I made the decision to not extend my contract and to not stay here. And that is how it will stay now,” the 29-year-old told Kicker in an interview published on Easter Monday. 

Inter, Milan and Juventus stance on Tah

Both Inter and Milan are among the clubs interested in snapping up a deal for the experienced centre-back, who has spent the last 10 seasons in the Bundesliga with Leverkusen. 

Reports in Italy claimed that Juventus were also exploring the possibility of snapping Tah up in a low-cost deal during the January transfer window.

However, according to reports from Calciomercato.com, all the interested Serie A teams will face stiff competition, most fiercely from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Hansi Flick’s Barcelona.

'The player only wants Chelsea' – Fabrizio Romano with key incoming transfer updates

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has been providing some key incoming Chelsea transfer updates with the player’s desire. It’s been explained that a player only wants to join Chelsea this summer and is doing his best to push the move through on his end. Sources: Chelsea pushing to get final fees agreed to sign two players early this week! The news comes as Chelsea also look to press ahead with completing the deal to sign Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig as well this window after agreeing to sell Joao Felix to Al Nassr. But this story we are talking about Jorrel Hato from Ajax, after fresh reports came out on this one via Sky Sports yesterday morning. Chelsea are now pushing to try and get this deal done alongside the Simons deal. Latest on Hato to Chelsea Romano reports on X: ‘Chelsea and Ajax will be again in direct contact from start of new week for Jorrel Hato deal. ‘Hato has been clear with Ajax: he only wants Chelsea, the contract is ready… up to the clubs. ‘Talks well underway.’ So this one looks like it could heat up again this week as the two clubs look to try and get the final agreement in place on the fee. Hato to provide competition for Cucurella Hato is a defender who can play as a left back or as a centre back and he is likely to be coming in to provide competition for current left back Marc Cucurella. At the moment Chelsea don’t really have a backup option for Cucurella, at least not a natural one. Hato will also be a good option to play in the inverted full back role due to the fact he can play centrally as well and is just a very good footballer. And then as well as this he can provide further cover in the centre back areas.

WNBA legend Lisa Leslie had three words for Angel Reese

Now in her second WNBA season, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is averaging a league‑leading 12.5 rebounds along with 13.8 points, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game. She recently returned from injury and immediately picked up where she left off, posting her 16th double‑double of the season (11 points, 11 rebounds) on Tuesday night even as her Chicago Sky fell, 91-68, to the Minnesota Lynx. Then, on Wednesday, Reese showcased her brand power on Instagram, posting a pregame photo dressed head‑to‑toe in Gucci with the caption, "Don’t worry about me… life is GUCCI @gucci #guccipartner." The image quickly lit up her feed and drew an immediate response from one of the game’s all‑time greats, WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, who commented, “Yessss it is❤️." Despite flashes of elite play, the Sky have struggled mightily, standing at just 7-17 and sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference. Their 76.7 points per game rank 12th in the WNBA, and opponents are torching them for 86.8 a night (12th in the league). With head coach Tyler Marsh searching for consistency, every bright spot has been a welcome reprieve for a franchise that won the title as recently as 2021. Front and center among Chicago’s bright spots is Reese. Off the court, Reese has quickly built a burgeoning portfolio of endorsement deals, including Reebok, Calvin Klein, Beats by Dre, Amazon and now Gucci, underscoring her status as one of the WNBA’s brightest personalities. On the other side, you have Leslie, whose voice carries more weight than arguably anybody in women’s basketball. A three‑time league MVP, two‑time WNBA champion and Finals MVP and eight‑time All‑Star, Leslie helped define the league’s early years with the Los Angeles Sparks, including driving home the first dunk in WNBA history in 2002. A Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer (class of 2015), she remains a global ambassador for the sport.

Rangers Sign Former Stanley Cup Champion to Tryout Agreement

The New York Rangers are adding to their forward depth ahead of their upcoming training camp. The Rangers are entering a new chapter of their organization under new head coach Mike Sullivan. After missing the postseason last year, the organization is trying to rebound and respond accordingly in 2025 and 2026. Former Stanley Cup champion forward Conor Sheary is the latest player to join the new-look Rangers. The veteran forward agreed to a professional tryout agreement (PTO) with the club and will look to earn an NHL deal with his performance in training camp and the preseason. Sheary is a veteran of 593 NHL games. Originally an undrafted free agent, he signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins after completing his collegiate career. Following a year with the Penguins' AHL affiliate, he forced his way onto the NHL squad after posting 36 points in his first 30 games of the 2015-2016 season at the AHL level. His debut NHL season went better than ever expected, and he was a key part of the Penguins' lineup that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. Sheary's coach at the time, both at the AHL and NHL levels, was Mike Sullivan. Now, he'll get the chance to reunite with the coach under whom he won two championships. In addition to playing for the Penguins, Sheary has played for three other NHL franchises. The Pens dealt him to the Buffalo Sabres before the 2018-2019 campaign, but he would return to Pittsburgh the following season at the trade deadline. After his second stint with the Penguins, he joined the Washington Capitals. He played three seasons in Washington, D.C. before landing with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he spent the past two years. Over his 593 career games, he's compiled 124 goals and 143 assists for 267 points. His best NHL season came during the 2016-2017 campaign, his second in the league. He scored 23 goals and added 30 assists for 53 points in 61 regular-season games.

Ex-Teammate Excludes Luka Doncic From Mavs All-Time Starting 5

Ex-Teammate Excludes Luka Doncic From Mavs All-Time Starting 5

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall was recently asked to create an all-time starting five featuring Mavs players. In the process of listing the players to his team, Marshall excluded his former teammate, Luka Doncic. He responded to the question with: "JKidd, Kyrie, Michael Finley, Dirk, Tyson Chandler." The mention of players like Jason Kidd, Kyrie Irving, Dirk Nowitzki, and Tyson Chandler are justified. Given that Kidd, Nowitzki, and Chandler helped bring the team its first title, the three cemented their place as franchise legends. In this regard, Irving joins the list simply because of how great of a player he is. Although his time in Dallas has been brief, the nine-time All-Star has been spectacular. Selecting Michael Finley over Luka Doncic raises eyebrows, especially considering Doncic's impact on the franchise. When factoring in what Doncic meant to the organization before being traded to the Lakers, it was clear that he was expected to be one of their all-time greats. The Doncic-Davis trade was viewed as one of the most shocking deals in league history. Many viewed the deal unfavorably, especially since Doncic had no role in orchestrating it, making Marshall’s omission all the more puzzling. With Doncic expected to sign his contract extension with the Lakers, it is evident that his NBA journey will take him in a different direction. Meanwhile, Marshall remains with the Mavs, as they aim to be a more competitive team next season. Naji Marshall Opened Up On Missing Luka Doncic Marshall's latest display may hint at some amount of pettiness, but the forward has been quite expressive in detailing his friendship with Doncic. On an episode of "The Young Man And The Three" podcast, the forward opened up on missing his teammate and said: "I mean, I understood that, like, business is business as far as the NBA, but I was hurt, man. Luka’s my dawg, for real. And I love AD. That’s my guy right there. Like, he’s been great with us. You know, he welcomed us with open arms… But as far as just personally, like, I just was hurt to lose Luka, man.” “Luka is just the chillest guy ever, bro. You just feel like his best friend from day one,” he added. “He’s just a great dude. Never mad, just always happy. And just a Hall of Fame flamethrower when it comes to basketball.” Marshall, who spent the 2024-25 season with the New Orleans Pelicans before being traded, played just 17 games with the Mavericks before the Doncic-Davis deal occurred. In that short span of time, the forward seemingly became close friends with the superstar, even admitting that the consequences of the trade did hurt him. Regardless, the 27-year-old will look forward to the upcoming season with Dallas. The outlook for the Mavericks even after the trade hasn't been the worst. With a superstar pairing of Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving, alongside a gifted rookie in Cooper Flagg, Dallas is poised to be intriguing. Although injuries could be a setback, players like Marshall will be crucial in keeping Dallas afloat as impactful two-way contributors.
