Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:27:28 GMT

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool completed the overhaul of its midfield by signing Netherlands international Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich in a deal worth 40 million euros ($43.1 million) on Friday, the final day of the summer transfer window.Gravenberch joins fellow midfielders Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo in joining Liverpool this summer while Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have left.The 21-year-old Gravenberch has signed a five-year deal just 12 months after joining Bayern from Ajax.Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel was willing to let Gravenberch leave because he didn’t fit into the system.“He’s a box-to-box midfielder for me, an attacking player,” Tuchel said on Friday before the signing was finalized. “The main problem for him is that we don’t really have a No. 8 in our 4-2-3-1 system. And we’re spoilt for choice up front, with really experienced players.“Ryan is a very nice, hard-wo...

ATLANTA (AP) — Rudy Giuliani on Friday pleaded not guilty to Georgia charges that accuse him of trying, along with former President Donald Trump and others, to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state.In filing his not guilty plea with the court, the former New York mayor and Trump attorney also waived his right to appear at an arraignment hearing set for Sept. 6.

But the legal wrangling has already begun in a slew of court fi...

As Lukaku settles at Roma, Leão still making an impact for AC Milan

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:27:28 GMT

ROME (AP) — While Romelu Lukaku is just getting started at Roma, AC Milan’s most emblematic player remains impactful.Rafael Leão’s acrobatic goal in a 2-1 win at struggling Roma on Friday extended the Rossoneri’s perfect start to three straight victories in Serie A.The Italian league’s most valuable player when he helped Milan to the title in 2022, Leão was lying on the ground when he whipped his right leg around to meet a cross from Davide Calabria and strike the ball in off the far post while seemingly not even seeing the goal.“He was the reference point for our attack tonight,” Milan coach Stefano Pioli said. “Rafa is an exceptional player.”Lukaku came on in the 70th for his Roma debut after his high-profile loan from Chelsea and immediately put a shot toward goal, missing high narrowly.Olivier Giroud put Milan ahead with an early penalty kick for his fourth goal in the opening three games — a feat no Rossoneri player has achieved since Andriy Shevchenko more than two...

Nothing about felt Alexander Canario’s baseball future felt guaranteed in the moments after his devastating injury nearly 10 months ago.He thought his baseball career might be over when he required surgery to repair a fractured left ankle and separated left shoulder following a devastatingly freak moment from hitting first base while playing winter ball. Months of rehab included his mother, Juana González, helping him because of how limited Canario became after two surgeries.Canario’s extensive rehab process paid off Friday when the Cubs called him up before their doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds along with right-hander Shane Greene from Triple-A Iowa.“I never doubted that I was going to be able to achieve this,” Canario said through an interpreter before the Cubs’ 6-2 Game 1 win. “I definitely see the injury as part of the progress. Everything happens for a reason.”He returned in June but needed a few weeks to get his timing do...
