Pep Guardiola hat schon Plan B in der Hand – oder besser gesagt Plan G!
Schon seit geraumer Zeit ist der Trainer von Manchester City an Leverkusen-Star Florian Wirtz interessiert, will den Ausnahmekönner unbedingt verpflichten. Schließlich verlässt mit Kevin de Bruyne der Dreh- und Angelpunkt der Offensive der vergangenen Jahre die Cityzens am Saisonende.
Doch nach SPORT BILD-Informationen will Wirtz unbedingt zu Bayern München wechseln. Ein herber Schlag für Guardiola, der aber nicht Guardiola wäre, wenn er nicht schon eine Alternative im Auge hätte.
„Kann man nicht nein sagen“ : So lief der Kölner Funkel-Coup wirklich
So soll er nach Informationen von Transfer-Insider Fabrizio Romano Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) verpflichten wollen. „Man City will sich in den nächsten Wochen um die Verpflichtung von Morgan Gibbs-White bemühen und bleibt damit eine der besten Optionen“, schreibt der Italiener in den sozialen Medien. Der Engländer hat noch Vertrag bis 2027 und derzeit einen Marktwert von 50 Mio. Euro.

Morgan Gibbs-White ist eines der Gesichter des Aufschwungs von Nottingham Forest, das in der vergangenen Saison nur knapp dem Abstieg aus der Premier League entgangen ist, und nun auf Platz sechs liegend den Einzug ins internationale Geschäft so gut wie sicher hat.
Mit fünf Treffern und neun Vorlagen hat der Spielmacher einen großen Anteil. Nicht nur Pep Guardiola, sondern auch Tuchel-Vorgänger bei der englischen Nationalmannschaft, Interimstrainer Lee Carsley, ist auf Gibbs-White aufmerksam geworden. Im September des vergangenen Jahres hat er ihn erstmals für die „Three Lions“ nominiert.
Erst das internationale Geschäft und dann der Wechsel zu einem absoluten Spitzenklub? Nach Informationen Romanos dürfte ein Transfer nicht am Spieler scheitern. Anders könnten es bei den Verhandlungen zwischen den Vereinen sein. Denn: Nottingham Forest soll sich Hoffnungen machen, Gibbs-White beim Einzug nach Europa doch halten zu können.
Ob das reicht, damit Gibbs-White den Lockrufen Guadiolas widersteht, wird sich in den kommenden Wochen zeigen.

Ashton Jeanty ‘ready to play that Raider brand of football’ as rookie minicamp kicks off
Five minutes was all it took.Back in May 2021, Ashton Jeanty was a high school junior slot receiver with more catches than carries to his name. Despite a lack of experience running the ball, he had barely started his recruiting workout at Boise State before then-head coach Andy Avalos offered him a scholarship to play running back.Advertisement“That was something I’ll always remember from being recruited — doing that workout,” Jeanty told The Athletic over the phone Tuesday. “They were kind of like, ‘Take it easy,’ but I was like, ‘Tch, man, come on, let’s go. This is what I do.’ Obviously, I killed the drills, so they had nothing more to see.”Jeanty committed to Boise State that September and became a superstar across the next three seasons. The Las Vegas Raiders became so enamored with his talent that they drafted […]
Does Christian Pulisic need a break from the USMNT this summer?
It is the annual cause of number-crunching and hand-wringing at clubs across the world. The mantra of ‘load management’ — or balancing a player’s minutes to optimize performance and reduce injury risk — is entrenched in the medical department of every top team.But when it is weighed against elite football’s other imperative, the need to win, its red lines can fade.AdvertisementClub versus country, manager versus player, player versus their own body: the potential for conflict is rife and everything is heightened in the year of a major tournament.Ask Harry Kane, who played just under 4,000 minutes of club football before Euro 2024 and pointed to “tired legs and tired mentality” as he struggled to fire and England came up just short by losing to Spain in the final.It will likely be something weighing on Mauricio Pochettino’s mind as he plans […]
Connor Brown bringing ‘big-time fire’ at right time for Oilers in NHL playoffs
LAS VEGAS — There’s something about this time of year that brings out the best version of Connor Brown. He sure feels that.“I grew up on championship teams my whole life,” Brown said, referring to his minor hockey days with the Toronto Marlboros, which were coached by his dad, Dan. “This is what hockey’s always been about.Advertisement“I’ve always loved to compete and trying to win. There’s something about letting it all out in the big moments and seeing where the chips fall.”That’s been evident yet again over the past couple of weeks.Brown followed up what Connor McDavid thought was his best game as an Oiler in the Round 1 series clincher against the Los Angeles Kings with an effort that wasn’t far off from that in a 4-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday.“Brownie is such a smart […]
Is home-court advantage still a factor in the NBA playoffs? Recent history says no
All season long, NBA teams compete to give themselves the best position in the playoffs. They grind over 82 games in the regular season to get the best record they can, which, if they are good enough, will then give them home-court advantage for a series, or two, or the whole postseason. It is an enticing incentive for teams that should make the struggle worth it, if for no other reason than getting the all-import, series-deciding Game 7 at home in front of the home fans.AdvertisementBut what if home-court advantage is losing its luster?It was a shock when the Cleveland Cavaliers lost Game 1 at home to the Indiana Pacers. It was a surprise when the Boston Celtics lost to the New York Knicks a day later. Then the Oklahoma City Thunder blew their series opener to the Nuggets. When […]
Always the perfectionist, Mookie Betts is focused on improving his bat speed
Talking to Mookie Betts, I almost wanted to pull an Allen Iverson.“Bat speed? You’re worried about bat speed?”An eight-time All-Star, seven-time Silver Slugger and three-time World Series champion is about the last player you would expect to fret, especially when he is still an elite performer.In April, The Athletic grouped Betts with five others in Tier 1 on its list of the top 100 position players in baseball. ESPN ranked Betts third among all players, MLB Network fifth.AdvertisementStill, Betts worries about everything, freely acknowledging he puts too much pressure on himself. And, to a degree, his concern with bat speed is warranted. It is one of the rare weaknesses in his game.Betts, in an interview Friday, attributed a recent 13-game stretch in which he batted .176 to bad habits he created returning from an illness in March that caused him […]
Broncos’ Caleb Lohner follows Jimmy Graham’s hoops-to-tight end path to Sean Payton
Caleb Lohner was about to realize a lifelong dream when the seed of an entirely different vision was planted.In 2019, Lohner was visiting the campus of the University of Utah, where the 6-foot-7, 245-pound teenager with a 40-inch vertical leap had just committed to play basketball as a top-100 national recruit. As part of the visit, Lohner was given a tour of the school’s football facility, where the team was warming up for a practice. It was there that Lohner met Freddie Whittingham, the tight ends coach who had grown up in the same Provo, Utah, neighborhood as Lohner’s father, Matt.Advertisement“They brought him out on the field and I said, ‘Hey, I know your dad and your grandpa very well,’ ” Whittingham said in a recent phone conversation. “I said, ‘Are you going to play basketball here?’ He says, ‘Yeah.’ I […]
