As Liverpool prepare for a rebuild this summer, the Merseyside club are paying particular attention to AS Monaco. As well as taking an interest in France international Maghnes Akliouche (24), they may also table a bid for midfielder Lamine Camara (22) this summer, as per a report from L’Équipe.
Since joining Monaco from FC Metz two years ago, the Senegal international has excelled at Monaco and was one of the key players for Senegal at the recent Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Like Akliouche, Camara is one of the players that will be allowed to leave the club in the event that the Principality club’s valuation is met this summer.

There is interest from Liverpool, L’Équipe understands, whilst Newcastle United, a more long-term admirer, remain in the race as the summer transfer window approaches. He features particularly highly on the Tyneside club’s shortlist. The midfielder’s contract at Monaco runs until 2029.

May 9, 2026; Commerce City, Colorado, USA; St. Louis City midfielder Conrad Wallem (6) and Colorado Rapids midfielder Paxten Aaronson (10) battle for the ball in the first half at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images Jeong Sang-bin scored in the 26th minute Saturday and visiting St. Louis City SC logged its first clean sheet since last year, blanking the Colorado Rapids 1-0 in a contentious match.
It was the first goal this year for Sang-bin. Goalie Roman Burki started the sequence with a long goal kick that Simon Becher conveyed to a streaking Sang-bin. Racing down the pitch’s middle, Sang-bin easily dribbled by goalie Nicolas Hansen and poked the ball home.
Colorado’s bid at a second-half rally took a hit when Rob Holding was sent off in the 51st minute after fouling Becher. St. Louis (2-6-3, 9 points) played 36 minutes of 11-on-10 soccer before Chris Durkin was booked for the second time in the 87th minute, leveling the teams at 10 men each.
Rafael Navarro, Keegan Rosenberry and Georgi Minoungou each had good chances to equalize after Durkin’s dismissal. But Navarro’s header sailed right of the net in the 87th minute and Rosenberry couldn’t finish two minutes into stoppage time.
Minoungou then sailed a header over the crossbar, a shot that was estimated to have a 48% chance of going into the net. St. Louis held on through six more minutes of stoppage time for its first road win of the year.
The Rapids (3-5-4, 13 points) wasted a major advantage in possession time (58.1% to 41.9) and got just two of their 11 shots on frame, with Burki denying both. Colorado created a whopping 11 corner kicks but couldn’t convert its set pieces into goals.
Both teams were hoping to display better form than they showed in recent fixtures. St. Louis was 0-3-2 in its previous five matches and the Rapids were 0-3-1 in their prior four matches.
The first half was played on even terms until Sang-bin struck. Despite Colorado controlling the ball 55.1% of the time, each team took five shots and got one to net.
Referee Tim Ford whistled 36 fouls and administered a total of nine cards in a physical match.

Manchester United face a major concern ahead of the summer transfer window which Michael Carrick or anyone else can not solve on their own
If Manchester United needed a reminder of how critical a new midfielder will be this summer – they got it on Saturday at Sunderland. The Reds laboured in a dismal 0-0 draw which saw their three-match winning streak end.
Champions League football may have been secured for the first time in three years, but Michael Carrick will be well aware of the task that lies ahead of him if he gets the job on a permanent basis. Without the injured Casemiro, United’s interim head coach chose to play Mason Mount out of position in a deeper midfield role.
It didn’t work as the Black Cats ran rings around an unconvincing setup. The Reds have a dismal record without their Brazilian midfielder, with three losses and a draw when he is not involved this season. They were fortunate that it wasn’t four losses on Saturday.

It’s why his summer departure is such a concern at Old Trafford. While many accept that, despite his impressive performances since Carrick took over in January, it is the right time for him to go – how will the Reds fill such a crucial position? They probably need two world-class players with the extra burden of European football next term.

Manuel Ugarte appears almost certain to leave as well. The Uruguayan was another injury absentee at the Stadium of Light, but even if fully fit, he may not have played on Saturday.
Ugarte’s time at M16 since arriving from Sporting two summers ago has been nothing short of a disaster. It was hoped that the appointment of his former manager, Ruben Amorim, would lead to an uptick in form, but not even that worked before the Portuguese was sacked.
United should have a healthy transfer budget to call upon with the added Champions League finances and the likely departures of Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Ugarte.
But competition for signings will be fierce and Manchester City are reportedly a more likely destination for Elliot Anderson – one of the Reds’ top targets.
Carlos Baleba has been linked since last summer, but his form dipped when the season began and he has not warranted the £100million price tag Brighton have slapped on him last year.
Talk over Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton has gone quiet, while recent reports over Aurelien Tchouameni’s behaviour at Real Madrid may raise questions over him for Ineos.
West Ham star Mateus Fernandes has been mentioned and the Hammers’ possible relegation could make him an easier target for United. Can he make the step up to become a regular starter in the Reds’ midfield, though?
It’s such a tricky conundrum for the club’s hierarchy, yet one they must solve once a permanent manager is appointed. Carrick or whoever else is in charge will face an uphill battle next season if United don’t get it right.

Daniel Dubois survived the ultimate test against Fabio Wardley, recovering from two knockdowns to become heavyweight world champion again.
The heavyweight fight – branded by Frank Warren as the best he has ever promoted – was a thriller from the start. Dubois hit the deck around ten seconds in, and then again in the third round, but was the more accurate and punishing operator outside of those moments.
In his post-fight press conference, the 28-year-old winner gave huge credit to his opponent, branding him ‘a tough cookie’ in what may be the understatement of the year.
Dubois, who spoke freely after a tense fight week, also spoke candidly about his own battle in the ring after coming off a stoppage loss to heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk last year.
“What a warrior he is. He’s a tough cookie. He took my shots. God just tested me in that fight. I had to come through my inner battle after coming off a loss, so I was a bit nervy in there. But what a warrior. I’m honoured to share the ring with a fighter like Fabio … We were both in that sort of weary state. It was just a war. We both gave each other everything we had.”
Dubois then reflected on being dropped almost immediately after the opening bell.
“I needed to get whacked and come back up. I felt like a warrior in there, digging deep and coming back. I wasn’t gonna be denied. I had my dad and my people in the corner, and I couldn’t let them down … What a [shot in the first round]. I didn’t really feel it. I was like ‘wow, what am I doing here?’ I had to quickly jump back up and f***ing go for it.”
In the third, the new champion made the quick decision to take a knee when he was hurt again. In hindsight, it proved one of the most intelligent decisions of the fight, as he took over from then on, other than the spells of danger that Wardley will always pose.
Wardley somehow stayed on his feet until the stoppage, though the consensus is that he could have been pulled by his corner earlier, even despite his known ability to turn the tide.
The second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs continued on Saturday with a pair of Game 3s.
In the first game, the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled out a massive home win over the Detroit Pistons, the top seed in the East. Looking to avoid a 3-0 hole, the Cavs were able to withstand every Pistons run in a 116-109 victory to pull within 2-1 in the series. Donovan Mitchell led the way for the Cavs with 35 points and 10 rebounds, while James Harden had 19 points and seven assists and closed things out with three clutch buckets, including the dagger 3-pointer with 25.9 seconds to play.
In the nightcap, the Oklahoma City Thunder continued their playoff dominance with a 131-108 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Thunder, the reigning champions, are still unbeaten in this year’s postseason and can complete a sweep with a win in Game 4 on Monday.
Here are the winners and losers from Saturday’s action:
Winner: Cavs’ clutch backcourt
James Harden stepped up when it mattered most
Let’s start with Harden, who has (understandably) taken a lot of heat for recording more turnovers than made field goals in four separate games this postseason, including the first two games of this series. Harden wasn’t the star of the show for most of Saturday’s 116-109 win, but late in the fourth quarter, he took over.
First, with the Cavaliers up just two points, Harden targeted Tobias Harris in a pick-and-roll, got the switch and went into iso mode. Given how his old Houston Rockets teams disdained the midrange, it amuses me that this stepback middy has become such a hallmark of Harden’s game in recent years:
Then, after a huge Cade Cunningham dunk, Harden hunted Duncan Robinson, shook him with a crossover and made a clutch floater over Jalen Duren:
Cunningham responded with a 3, setting up the biggest bucket of the day. Harden went at Harris again, danced with the ball and then drilled a three in his face, giving Cleveland a four-point lead with 25.9 seconds left:
Asked how he quieted the chatter in his walkoff interview with NBC’s Ashley ShahAhmadi, Harden said, “What chatter?”
He continued: “I play basketball, and whatever this team needs me to do, I’m going to go out there and do it. So letting the game play out. Fourth quarter, my number was called, and I go to work.”
Before that seven-point outburst, Harden had done most of his damage as a passer. Operating out of high pick-and-rolls, he set up a massive Evan Mobley dunk and repeatedly created wide-open 3s. He finished with 19 points on 8-for-14 shooting and seven assists in 40 minutes, and Mitchell, his backcourt partner, had a game-high 35 points on 13-for-24 shooting, plus 10 rebounds and four assists.
With the exception of the disastrous third quarter, Mitchell and Harden built on some of the good stuff that they did offensively in the second half of Game 2. Led by their two star playmakers, the Cavs got into their offense more quickly, attacked matchups more purposefully and put more pressure on the rim. As a result, Cleveland had far and away its most efficient offensive game of the series. — James Herbert
Loser: Deandre Ayton gets benched
Lakers big man struggled mightily on the glass
The ongoing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Ayton saga persists for the No. 1 pick of the 2018 NBA Draft. It’s a shame, too, because for most of the past two months, Deandre Ayton has more or less been exactly what the Lakers have hoped he’d be: low-maintenance on offense, physical on the glass, generally engaged defensively. That’s the version of him that took the Suns to the Finals in 2021 and got a max contract a year later. That’s the version of him that showed up for the most part in the first round against Houston.
And tonight against the Thunder, especially in the second half, we got the version of Ayton that Portland was eager to buy out. Ayton had one defensive rebound. He failed to get to the line for the second time this series. The Lakers allowed 64 points in the paint, quite a few of them on his watch. When even the broadcast is willing to call you out for your lackadaisical defensive effort, you know you’re not doing your part.
JJ Redick’s frustration was evident. With around nine minutes to go, he pulled Ayton out for rookie Adou Thiero, who is 6-foot-7 and played 149 regular-season minutes. He is, quite clearly, not ready for playoff minutes. But he plays hard, and subbing him in in that situation sends a message. The Lakers didn’t use a center after that point, which is pretty damning for Jaxson Hayes as well. Remember, Redick played an entire playoff half last season against Minnesota without using a center. Ayton and Hayes have had all season to earn Redick’s trust. It seems as though neither has done so.
It’s a shame, too, because for most of March and April, the Lakers really did get the best of Ayton. If he played that way consistently, he’d be able to comfortably decline his player option and re-sign at a typical starter’s salary this offseason. Instead? It’s yet again clear that the Lakers need to shake up their center rotation this offseason. — Sam Quinn
Winner: Ajay Mitchell
Thunder’s depth on full display once again
Let’s compare stat lines in this series:
Now, Mitchell statistically outperforming Gilgeous-Alexander in this series is mostly meaningless. The whole Lakers game plan revolves around stopping Gilgeous-Alexander. The MVP of the league is still the MVP of this series, no matter what the numbers say. But just having to explain this amounts to an enormous win for Mitchell, a second-year second-round pick. How many times over the past two postseasons did the opposing defense key in on Gilgeous-Alexander only for none of his teammates to step up and fill in the shot-creation gap? If there was a concern about Oklahoma City this postseason, especially with Jalen Williams out, that was it.
And Mitchell is erasing it. The Jalen Brunson comparison has been made to death, but that really might be what’s happening here. Mitchell is getting to the rim completely at will. He’s shooting 18-of-28 in the paint in this series and using all of that rim pressure to create easy looks for teammates. Through three games, the Thunder have outscored the Lakers by 23 points in the minutes Gilgeous-Alexander sits. Mitchell is the biggest reason why.
The bar right now is relatively low. The Lakers pose nowhere near the challenge in this round that the Spurs will in the next. If Mitchell is headed where we think he is, that’s the series he needs to thrive in. But he’s passed every test this postseason has thrown at him thus far, and no matter what happens against San Antonio, he’s cemented himself as a core player for the Thunder moving forward. — Sam Quinn
Loser: The possession game
Pistons won the possession game, but not the actual game
Especially during the playoffs, coaches love to talk about the importance of the possession game. It’s imperative, they all say, to get “shots on goal,” and you simply cannot afford to throw the ball away or allow opponents to pile up offensive rebounds.
Well, Game 3 of the Cavaliers-Pistons series is the exception that proves the rule, I guess. Detroit attempted 17 more field goals than Cleveland did, but somehow lost by seven points.
The main reason this happened: the Cavs couldn’t keep the Pistons off the offensive glass. Detroit had 17 offensive boards, which means they rebounded 40.4% of their misses. Cleveland, meanwhile, had five offensive boards and rebounded 27.8% of its misses.
“It’s really hard to win in this league with that disparity, so I’d just say that’s a little lucky on our part,” Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters.
Atkinson added that they can’t have another game like this: “It’s not sustainable.”
Cleveland overcame this by scoring far more efficiently than Detroit did. At the end of the first quarter, the numbers were absurd — the Cavs had a 25% turnover rate and zero offensive rebounds, but had an 88.2% effective field goal percentage, while the Pistons had a 16% turnover rate and a 50% offensive rebounding percentage, but their effective field goal percentage was also exactly 50%, per Cleaning The Glass. In the halfcourt, the Cavs were scoring 142.9 points per 100 possessions to the Pistons’ 90.5 per 100, but they led by only two points heading into the second quarter.
By the end of the game, the contrast wasn’t quite that extreme, but it was still there. In the halfcourt, Cleveland scored 113.5 per 100, and Detroit scored an ugly 89.9 per 100. The Pistons may have dominated the possession game, but they couldn’t execute well enough to come away with a win on the road. Their 17 offensive boards turned into only 19 second-chance points, and the Cavs’ 16 turnovers turned into only 19 points off turnovers for Detroit. — James Herbert
LIV Golf’s future is in doubt, but 53-year-old Richard Bland knows one thing about where his professional career is headed next — it won’t be on the PGA Tour Champions.
Bland, who won the Senior PGA Championship and U.S. Senior Open in 2024, said on Friday at LIV Golf Virginia that he can see the end of his playing days coming. While former LIV members Pat Perez and Henrik Stenson have opted to serve a one-year suspension before teeing it up on the PGA Tour’s senior circuit, Bland won’t be following in his former LIV-mates footsteps.
“From what I’ve been told, I’m not hugely welcome there,” Bland said on Friday.
“I wasn’t given the exemption. I’m the only senior major champion never to get that exemption, and that’s fine, I don’t have an issue with that,” Bland said. “I think the Champions Tour have made it pretty now impossible for anybody to come and play. I’m not going to go chasing it. I’ll be 54 years old, but I’m going to be banned for a year anyway.”
The Senior PGA Championship and U.S. Senior Open are run by the PGA of America and the USGA, respectively, while the PGA Tour operates PGA Tour Champions.
LIV Golf is in uncharted waters after the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund announced that it will withdraw its financial backing for the league after the 2026 season. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil is working to secure outside investment to keep the league running beyond this season.
For Bland, either way, he knows the end of his professional days is near. That’s something he has made peace with.
“I know it’s coming quite soon,” Bland said of retirement. “I kind of earmarked next year would probably be my last year of playing full-time, as I do right now. Then going forward, really kind of scattered, but play where I want to play. For me right now, I’m 53. For me, the travel is the hard bit. … That’s been the hard thing for me, is recovery, getting ready for tournaments.
Bland turned pro in 1996 and became the DP World Tour’s oldest first-time winner when he captured the Betfred British Masters in 2021. He jumped to LIV Golf during its inaugural season in 2022 and that, at the moment, will be the final chapter of his professional career. He doesn’t feel the need to try to extend it on a senior circuit.
“Semi-retirement, it’s getting a lot nearer — and that’s fine,” Bland said. “I’m okay with that. I’ve had one helluva ride out here and the best decision I ever made.”
Any doubt over Joshua Van’s bona fides as UFC flyweight champion after capturing the title when Alexandre Pantoja suffered an injury less than 30 seconds into their title fight were erased on Saturday night when Van survived a tough-as-nails challenger in Tatsuro Taira. Van scored a fifth-round stoppage in the co-main event of UFC 328 in Newark, New Jersey.
Taira opened the fight with a heavy leg kick, wanting to circle at distance before suddenly changing tactics and shooting for a takedown. Taira quickly got to the body, scored the takedown and quickly advanced to full mount. A positional battle followed, with Van looking to utilize a butterfly to get back to his feet, only to nearly be caught in a guillotine choke.
Van eventually escaped from the choke attempt and got back to his feet, where he popped off a few solid punches. Van’s solid jab was eventually neutralized by another double-leg takedown by Taira. Van again escaped to his feet, only to be taken down yet again, with Taira again getting to mount and doing a little damage before the end of the opening round.
Van did a much better job of defending the takedown early in Round 2, allowing him to pop off hard combination punches that connected cleanly to Taira’s face. Taira remained relentless, however, again scoring a takedown and quickly achieving mount again. Again, Van worked the butterfly guard to get out of the worst possible position and threaten to scramble to his feet again. Despite Taira being on top, it was Van who was landing more strikes, throwing off his back as Taira was overly concerned with positioning.
After the fighters went back to their feet, Van scored a big knockdown with a right hand and attempted to drop big shots before the horn sounded to end the second round.
Taira still looked rocked coming out of the corner for Round 3 and Van took advantage with sharp punches as Taira was suddenly fighting off the back foot. Taira shot for takedowns from too far out, making it easy for Van to defend and go right back to his pinpoint boxing.
After another takedown attempt, Van landed a big knee, hurting and bloodying Taira.
A sudden jab from Van resulted in a delayed knockdown as Taira’s legs betrayed him. Van followed up with another flurry and a takedown, immediately taking the back and working for a rear-naked choke. Taira somehow survived the position and ended up back on his feet. Despite the accumulation of punishment, Taira ended the round with another big takedown, landing in side control.
Somehow, Taira continued to bring the attack in the fourth round, immediately putting Van on his back and again working to full mount. This time, Van seemed to have less energy to explode out of the bad position. When Van finally attempted to explode, he was nearly caught by a Taira triangle choke in transition.
The momentum continued to swing as Van again was able to connect with clean shots as the fight went back to standing, forcing Taira onto the defensive once again.
With the fight potentially hanging in the balance in the final round, Van opened up with big strikes. While Taira attempted to secure another takedown, Van cracked with heavy shots, eventually sending Taira reeling. As Van followed up with more big shots, the referee jumped in to halt the fight.
The official time of the stoppage was 1:32 of Round 5.
“I said I was going to finish him inside three rounds, and I almost did, but he’s a tough motherf—er,” Van said of his hard-fought victory. “As soon as I went to the body, it was over.”
Van’s next title challenge is expected to be a rematch with Pantoja, who suffered an arm injury in their title win. Van had no problem with the idea of a rematch.
“Pantoja, you better get your shit right,” Van said. “We can run it back if you want.”
Former Chelsea star Victor Moses has refused to choose the greatest achievement of his football career.
Moses spoke during the Famous CFC Watch Party in Lagos, where Chelsea fans and members of the media gathered to watch the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Liverpool at Anfield, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
During the event, the former Super Eagles wing-back was asked to name the biggest moment of his successful career, but he said every trophy he won meant a lot to him.
“Every title is important, you know. Winning my first major title for Nigeria, it was huge for myself as well,” Moses told Pulse Sports’ Joba Ogunwale.
“Winning the Premier League was huge. They’re all important, so I don’t really got one specific one.”
The 35-year-old enjoyed a successful career for both club and country.
He helped the Super Eagles win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and also played at the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups.
At club level, Moses was part of the Chelsea side that won the Premier League title in 2017 and the FA Cup in 2018 under former manager Antonio Conte.

Fernandes frustration, Carrick reaction, Amad love – moments missed from Man United vs Sunderland
Man Utd drew 0-0 with Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday and here are the moments you might have missed at the Stadium of Light.
Michael Carrick learned more about his Manchester United squad this weekend. Carrick made five changes to face Sunderland on Saturday, giving Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount starts for the first time in his tenure, but the goalless draw stressed the importance of adding more quality in the transfer market.
Sunderland headed into the clash against United after two disappointing results, however, they would have felt unfortunate not to have secured a win considering the number of chances they fashioned.
During his post-match press conference, Carrick said he would be offended by any suggestions that his team are “on the beach”, but the Reds now have the challenge of securing positive results against Nottingham Forest and Brighton to end the season on a high.

Here are the moments you might have missed from the game:
Fernandes led the inquest
Sunderland made a brilliant start to the game, pressing aggressively to keep United in their own half, which led to a golden opportunity for Noah Sadiki, who was denied by a superb Senne Lammens save.
United were under the cosh and Lammens was called into action again. Fernandes became increasingly frustrated with United’s start and launched an inquest to determine how to bypass Sunderland’s press.
Fernandes started by passing on instructions to Mount, and he was in conversation with Harry Maguire a few minutes later. The midfielder recognised the build-up was a problem and was trying his best to fix it.
It was interesting that Carrick did not intervene or speak with his assistant Steve Holland as Sunderland overpowered United, instead placing trust in Fernandes to find the solution.
Carrick stood in disbelief
Sunderland midfielder Lutsharel Geertruida was an inch away from breaking the deadlock in the second half, smacking the post from the edge of the box as Lammens attempted to scramble across his goal.
Carrick was motionless on the touchline, standing with his hands in his pockets. The United interim boss stood in disbelief and seemed shocked by the dismal performance his players had served up.
Sunderland were the better team from the first whistle, and Carrick arguably waited too long to make changes.
The Zirkzee mistake
A different side of Fernandes’ leadership skills appeared to be shown when Joshua Zirkzee made the wrong choice by crossing into the box instead of pulling the ball back to the Portugal international, who was unmarked.
Sunderland blocked the cross and it was sent for a corner. Chances were at a premium for United, so it was a costly mistake from Zirkzee, and Fernandes’ reaction was fascinating to watch.
Fernandes placed his hands on his knees in frustration, but he appeared aware of the optics and shifted to pretend to sort his boots. The reaction seemed deliberate to disguise his disappointment with Zirkzee.
Zirkzee stood with his hands on his hips. It was difficult to say whether the Dutchman had spotted Fernandes’ reaction, but if the United captain meant to hide his frustration, it spoke volumes about his leadership.
Mount did the dirty work
Sadiki had another good chance to score not long before half-time, but Mount was there to get his body in the way of his effort, which Lisandro Martinez immediately recognised the significance of.
Martinez smacked Mount on the back to thank him for his defensive contribution, and Maguire then approached to give him a high five. It was an important moment, as Sunderland were denied a lead at the interval.
Mount isn’t afraid of doing the dirty work, which makes him a valuable asset in the squad. He made his first start since Carrick’s appointment against Sunderland, and just needs to stay fit.
Warm reception for Amad
Amad said he only had good things to say about Sunderland in an interview before Saturday’s clash. The winger enjoyed a hugely successful loan stint at the Stadium of Light and was welcomed back with open arms.
When Amad got off the team bus, he was applauded by Sunderland’s fans, and he held his hand up to give them a wave. He was applauded again by the home supporters inside the ground when he took a corner.
Bryan Mbeumo replaced Amad in the 75th minute, and he received a standing ovation from most Sunderland fans. A Mackem standing in front of the press box even shouted: “We love you, Amad.”
