Erst vertrösteten die Königlichen Bournemouth-Profi Dean Huijsen (20) auf nächsten Sommer, jetzt muss der nächste Star eine Absage von Real Madrid hinnehmen.
Der Name Martin Zubimendi geistert seit Monaten durch die Büros von Real. Der Klub rechnete sich gute Chancen bei dem spanischen Nationalspieler von Real Sociedad aus. Vor allem, nachdem Liverpool bereit war, seine Ausstiegsklausel von 60 Mio. Euro zu zahlen, Zubimendi sich aber quergestellt haben soll.
Jetzt also die Kehrtwende: Real Madrid will sich für die kommende Saison auf seiner Position im Mittelfeld nicht verstärken, berichtet „OK Diario“. Spannend: Auch die bevorstehende Verpflichtung von Xabi Alonso (43) als neuer Real-Trainer soll daran laut des Berichts nichts ändern. Zubimendi und Alonso werden vom selben Agenten beraten.
[–>Richtig ist, dass Real einen kreativen Mittelfeldspieler sucht, der als Spielmacher neben Tchouaméni und Camavinga auftrumpft. Diese beiden stehen auch nächste LaLiga-Saison im Kader.
In einer einzigen Szene: Yamal demütigt DREI Gegenspieler!
Ein Wörtchen mitzureden hat da aber auch noch Fede Valverde (26), den Zubimendi verdrängen müsste. Und: Auch die erfreuliche Entwicklung eines anderen Real-Stars soll die Bosse dazu bewogen haben, Zubimendi nicht zu verpflichten. Starke Auftritte von Dani Ceballos (28) haben den Druck bei den Königlichen verringert, sofort tätig werden zu müssen, schreibt „OK Diario“. In ihn werde nun auch das Vertrauen gesetzt, sollte Klub-Ikone Luka Modric (39) nicht über das Saisonende hinaus verlängern. Ceballos hat Vertrag bis 2027.
Auch der finanzielle Aspekt spiele eine Rolle. Der Preis für Zubimendi liegt bei 60 Mio Euro. Trotz der guten Beziehungen zur Real Sociedad weiß Madrid: Es gibt keinen Verhandlungsspielraum. Beispiele wie Odriozola oder Illarramendi haben das in der Vergangenheit gezeigt.

Will Power’s Indy road course dominance starts with this relationship
Bob Pockrass FOX Motorsports Insider <!--> Will Power enters Saturday's Indianapolis Grand Prix (4:30 p.m. ET on FOX) with more wins in that race than any other driver as he has won five of the 16 events on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. His engineer, David Faustino, was with him for all of them. Just as he has been for 36 of Power’s 42 victories in INDYCAR, including the 2018 Indianapolis 500.The Power-Faustino pairing, at 16 years, is the longest of any driver-engineer in the garage by far. Granted, the only other full-time drivers in the series that were around for their first full season together in 2011 were Scott Dixon and Graham Rahal.While something could be said about moving engineers around and pairing them with different drivers, it’s hard to argue with the overall success of the Power-Faustino relationship.

Warriors vs. Timberwolves prediction, odds: Game 2 best bet as Wolves try to even series with Steph Curry out
Getty Images The Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors continue their second-round NBA playoff series on Thursday night in Game 2. The pressure is on the Wolves to win at home before the series shifts to San Francisco. Plus, the Warriors will be shorthanded without Stephen Curry, who is expected to miss multiple games after suffering a Grade 1 hamstring strain in the series opener. Anthony Edwards scored just one point in the first half on Tuesday, but finished with a team-high 23 points. After averaging 26.8 points per game in Minnesota's series win over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Wolves will need him to get going earlier if they want to split the first two games. With Curry out, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green combined for 38 points in Game 1. But the true Warriors hero was Buddy Hield, who got […]

2025 NBA Draft Combine: Updated prospects rankings and 5 players with something to prove at Combine
Getty Images Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, Tre Johnson and VJ Edgecombe — in some order for some, in that exact order for me — represent the (mostly-static) top-five prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft. But the landscape beyond the top five is far from settled in this class as the 2025 NBA Draft Combine kicks off this week in Chicago (May 11-18), setting up what should be a big week to help the dust settle and shake out for decision-makers. The lottery is May 12. Those top five have little, or nothing, to prove to NBA teams regardless of how the lottery balls fall this week. But the Combine offers a big chance for plenty — and plenty will need to seize the opportunity.Of the 75 invited participants, I've picked out five who I feel could benefit from big […]

Sovereignty skipping Preakness illustrates horse racing’s Triple Crown conundrum
With a quick phone call to Mike Rogers, the executive vice president of 1/ST, which operates Pimlico racetrack, horse trainer Bill Mott on Tuesday effectively ended the casual fan’s interest in horse racing for 2025. Mott told Rogers that Sovereignty, who only three days earlier had won the Kentucky Derby by roaring past favorite Journalism in the stretch, will not run in the Preakness Stakes and will instead point toward the Belmont Stakes on June 7. Not only will there be no Triple Crown winner for the seventh year in a row, but for the third time in those seven years, no one will even make the attempt.AdvertisementMott, a Hall of Fame trainer considered a thoughtful and honorable horseman by his peers, was both entirely within his rights to decline to race in the Preakness and doing what he believes […]
