Report Juventus set Miretti asking price at €20m

6 May 2026 at 23:44

Juventus are reportedly ready to sell Fabio Miretti this summer with a €20m price tag, as Bologna, Lazio and Fiorentina are interested after a Napoli offer.

The midfielder had already been approached by Napoli last term only to see it rejected by the Bianconeri, but now that Luciano Spalletti is in charge, the club has other ideas for his future.

According to Calciomercato, the youth academy product is on the market also because he would provide a pure profit from his sale, helping to boost the club coffers.

He failed to impress Spalletti, who is seeking a different type of player in the midfield for next season.

Still only 22 years old, his contract runs to June 2028 and there is no shortage of Serie A sides ready to take him on.

They include Fiorentina, Bologna and Lazio, who would all give Fagioli some regular playing time in the starting XI.

The asking price has been set at a reported fee of €20m, but Napoli might not necessarily come back in for the Italian.

Inside, the laptop runs on the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX processor, a 16-core, 32-thread chip designed for heavy workloads and gaming. For graphics, buyers have a few configuration options: an RTX 5060, an RTX 5070, or the higher-tier RTX 5070 Ti.

Lewandowski no longer targeted by Juventus as free agent

6 May 2026 at 21:12

Robert Lewandowski’s agent met with several Italian clubs, including Milan and Juventus, but it’s reported the Bianconeri are cooling their interest.

The veteran could be available on the transfer market this summer as a free agent, because his current contract with Barcelona runs to June 30, with the possibility of an extension.

Lewandowski tipped for Serie A move

His representative Pini Zahavi is looking around for alternative destinations and that could be in Serie A, so he visited Italy over the last few days for a series of meetings.

It had been suggested that Juve were the biggest rivals to Milan for Lewandowski, but Sky Sport Italia pundit Gianluca Di Marzio insists the talks did little to fuel the fire of their interest.

Instead, Juventus are increasingly frosty on the idea of signing the Poland international, who will celebrate his 38th birthday in August.

His wage demands are believed to be a major part of the concerns around signing Lewandowski, who scored 18 goals in 42 competitive games for Barcelona so far this season.

Potential Koopmeiners and Ndicka exchange for Roma and Juventus

6 May 2026 at 20:20

Juventus and Roma are battling for Champions League football, but it’s reported they could swap Evan Ndicka with Teun Koopmeiners this summer.

There is just one point separating these two teams in the Serie A table going into the final three rounds, so the fight for fourth place could go down to the wire.

Meanwhile, La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the clubs are also ready to do business off the field with a potential exchange deal.

Koopmeiners to Roma, Ndicka for Juventus?

The idea would be to reunite former Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini with midfielder Koopmeiners, who has struggled badly in a variety of roles since his €58m move to Juventus in 2024.

He never managed to recreate the kind of form he showed under Gasperini in Bergamo, and Juve simply want to make back some of the money spent on the Dutchman.

There could potentially be a swap with Roma defender Ndicka going to Turin.

The 26-year-old is under contract with the Giallorossi until June 2028, having arrived as a free agent in 2023.

Juventus are looking for a central defender who is left-footed and can work in Luciano Spalletti’s style of football, alternating with Lloyd Kelly as a partner to Gleison Bremer.

The asking price for Ndicka would be around €40m, especially as he is one of the alternatives to Inter and Barcelona when it comes to Alessandro Bastoni.

Positive Liverpool scouting reports on Kalulu, but Man United and Aston Villa also keen

6 May 2026 at 19:06

Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu has attracted interest from Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa in the Premier League, but the Bianconeri are reportedly preparing to offer the Frenchman a contract extension.

Caughtoffside reports that Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester United have set their sights on Juventus defender Kalulu.

Juventus reluctant to sell Kalulu despite EPL interest

According to the report, Liverpool have been following the versatile French defender for the whole season, filing positive scouting reports on him.

Manchester United and Aston Villa are also interested in the ex-Milan star, but Juventus are unwilling to sell the 25-year-old this summer.

Kalulu is in his second season at the Allianz Stadium, as the Old Lady made his loan move permanent from Milan at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

According to the report, the Bianconeri are reluctant to sell the Frenchman and are preparing a new contract running until 2030, with a pay rise to €3.5m per season plus add-ons.

Kalulu’s current deal at the Allianz Stadium expires in 2029 and if the two parties fail to reach an agreement, then Juventus could listen to offers in the region of €40m.

Lobotka wanted for Spalletti reunion at Juventus, but Napoli will resist

6 May 2026 at 17:40

Stanislav Lobotka was a key figure in Luciano Spalletti’s Scudetto-winning Napoli side, and it’s reported the coach has requested a reunion at Juventus.

The Slovakia international pulled the midfield strings for Spalletti when they marched to the Serie A title in 2023.

According to Calciomercato, the coach believes he would be the man to take Juve to the next level if they get into the Champions League for next season.

It would be a very tricky transfer to pull off, as the two clubs are bitter rivals and rarely agree to exchange players on the transfer market.

Juventus keep eye on Lobotka

Lobotka has been with Napoli since 2020 and his contract runs to June 2027, although the club does have an option to extend by another year.

Notably, that option is only activated if he plays at least 50 per cent of all official games in the 2026-27 season, otherwise he’d be a free agent.

He turns 32 in November and played less than usual this term due to a series of injury problems, still making 38 appearances with one goal and one assist.

There is a release clause in Lobotka’s contract worth €25m, but it is only valid for clubs outside of Italy until mid-July.

Many of the Napoli players have these clauses in place, as they were put there in the wake of Juventus buying out Gonzalo Higuain, so the club wanted to avoid it repeating.

With that in mind, the chances of Aurelio De Laurentiis agreeing to hand Lobotka over to Juventus are very slim and he would cost at least €30m.

His agent had hinted at issues with Antonio Conte’s rigorous training methods, but then brushed those off as a joke later.

Muharemovic to trigger €40m Juventus, Inter, Aston Villa, Barcelona transfer battle

6 May 2026 at 17:20

Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic is set to become a €40m transfer target for Inter, Juventus, Barcelona and Aston Villa, but Juve will profit regardless.

The 23-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international has impressed this season for the Neroverdi and at international level, where he helped knock Italy out of the World Cup play-offs.

He is widely expected to be sold this summer and there is no shortage of clubs lined up for his services.

Muharemovic fate still tied to Juventus

Juventus signed him from Austrian club Wolfsberger in 2021 for their youth academy, and he made his way up through the Next Gen team until his loan to Sassuolo in 2024.

The sale was made permanent for just €2m last summer, but with Juve wisely retaining a 50 per cent cut of the future sale fee.

That means if Juventus were to bring him back to Turin, they’d effectively pay only half the asking price of €40m, and be able to register him as a player who came up through their academy.

Inter are the hot favourites to buy Muharemovic, although his future may well be tied up with that of Alessandro Bastoni.

The Corriere dello Sport point out that is doubly true, because Barcelona could see him as the cheaper alternative to the Italy international, whose cost would be at least €65m.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa in the Premier League could easily spend €40m for a young defender who just celebrated his 23rd birthday in February and already has 12 senior caps for Bosnia.

Video: Arsenal star appears to strike Atletico Madrid player in the face in post-match brawl

6 May 2026 at 16:17

Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus appeared to hit or slap Atletico Madrid player Marc Pubill in the face after last night’s Champions League semi-final at the Emirates Stadium.

The Brazil international clearly reacted badly when Pubill approached him and his teammates in their post-match celebrations, and it’s not quite clear if something was said that provoked his reaction.

This is certainly not the kind of thing anyone wants to see after what was otherwise an intriguing game between two top teams.

Arsenal players were surely perfectly entitled to celebrate reaching a first Champions League final in 20 years, so it seems strange that Pubill felt he had to get involved, even if there can be no justification for Jesus reacting so aggressively.

Arsenal to face Bayern or PSG in Champions League final

Arsenal’s win last night means they’re now preparing to travel to Budapest on 30th of May to take on the winner of tonight’s other semi-final.

Paris Saint-Germain beat Bayern Munich 5-4 in a thrilling first leg encounter last week, and it seems tough to predict who will come out on top this evening.

Arsenal have already beaten Bayern this season as they ran out 3-1 winners in a league phase game at the Emirates, while they lost to PSG in last season’s semi-finals.

Whoever they face, Mikel Arteta’s side will arguably not be the favourites, but they remain unbeaten in the Champions League this season and have no reason to doubt themselves as they look to win this trophy for the first time in their history.

USA April 2026: Accord helps Honda up, sales off -6.7%

6 May 2026 at 09:54

Honda Accord sales are up 42.5% and tilt the brand into positive.

Three factors have combined to trigger the 4th consecutive year-on-year market decline in the US at -6.7% to 1,367,000 units according to GlobalData. First, April 2025 was propped by a pre-tariff rush that lifted the market by 10%. Second, the loss of federal electric vehicle tax credits have depleted the market for BEVs and third, record high petrol prices have degraded affordability further. The SAAR stands at 16.1 million according to Motor Intelligence, down from 17.2 million in April 2025 and 16.3 million last month.

Illustrating the impact of tariffs, Imports are down 16% for the month and -9.9% year-to-date whereas vehicles produced in North America fall just -3.9% in April and -3.5% year-to-date. Manufacturers are doing their best to counter affordability pressure. According to JD Power and GlobalData, the average incentives on non-EV vehicles stands at $2,860, a whopping 16% more than April 2025. Meanwhile average EV incentives are significantly higher at $10,018, however down -1.7% on a year ago.

All OEMs reporting monthly data are down. American Honda resists best at -0.2% while Hyundai-Kia is at -2.1% and Toyota Motor at -4.6%. Brand-wise, Honda (+1.6%) and Genesis (+0.8%) are the only ones reporting in positive. Hyundai (-1.7%), Toyota (-1.9%), Kia (-2.8%) and Subaru (-5.9%) contain their loss even though this is Subaru’s 9th consecutive month of YoY declines. In contrast Ford (-14.1%), Acura (-15.6%), Mazda (-17.3%), Lexus (-19.9%) and Lincoln (-21.4%) all struggle.

The Ford F-Series remains the dominant force in the market but falls a stark -14.7% year-on-year, in line with the -15.7% it lost so far in 2026. The Honda CR-V (+2.9%) smashes its archenemy the Toyota RAV4 (-32.8%) by almost 15,000 sales and extends its YTD advantage to a probably insurmountable 54,000 units. In a mini sedan revival, the Toyota Camry (+17.9%) and Corolla (+12.6%) surprise with double-digit gains while the Honda Civic (+6.3%) is more measured but still in positive. Excellent results for the Honda Accord (+42.5%), Ford Transit (+22%) and Bronco (+18.6%).

Napoli, truce between Conte and Lukaku

Big Rom has returned to Castel Volturno: he met the teammates and the coach. He’ll continue to train separately.

Never so bad with the Rossoneri since 2019: he has completed only 24 dribbles from 56 and hasn’t scored in 65 days. Confirmation uncertain.

Sources: Liverpool, Man United, & Aston Villa could have exciting €40m transfer opportunity

6 May 2026 at 12:51

I’ve been speaking with my sources about a Serie A star who could be heading to the Premier League this summer after some impressive form.

A player attracting growing interest is Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu. I’ve reported before on the Frenchman being eyed by Liverpool after his strong performances and positive scouting reports. I’m told that the Reds continue to monitor him closely as one of their top defensive targets, while Manchester United and Aston Villa are also in the mix.

This story was originally published on the Daily Briefing – click here to subscribe to get these stories first, with no ads!

Juventus, however, are standing firm. Sources close to the Italian giants insist they “do not intend to sell Kalulu” and view him as “central” to their long-term project.

Some sources have also suggested that Juventus are preparing a new contract for Kalulu, running until 2030, which would include a salary increase to around €3.5 million net per season plus bonuses. This move would not only secure the player’s future in Turin but also protect his market value against potential offers from abroad.

Pierre Kalulu transfer could go through for the right price

I feel I should also share some information, however, from sources who’ve done a lot of work in and around the agents industry, who state that the strong suspicion is that Juve would sell for the right price, perhaps around €40m, especially if the player won’t agree to a new contract.

There is not yet a clear frontrunner out of Liverpool or Man United, but both clubs are making a defensive signing a top priority this summer, so it’s just about determining who looks like the best option and also who’s available. On that latter factor, it’s fair to say the messages are a bit mixed, but my personal feeling is that I suspect there might be an offer that would test Juventus’ resolve, even if they genuinely want to keep him.

Aston Villa’s pursuit adds another layer to the story. The Midlands club are keen to reinforce their defensive line and see Kalulu as a potential solution. Yet Juventus’ determination to keep him makes negotiations difficult. Only an extraordinary offer could force the Italian side to rethink their position, and Villa’s Financial Fair Play issues certainly make that look unlikely without a big sale. With all the speculation surrounding Morgan Rogers, however, perhaps that’s something that can’t be entirely ruled out.

Kalulu’s fine form for Juventus shows just how big a talent he is, and we’ve seen many times before that in this situation if the Premier League’s top clubs want a player like this, they usually get him. It’s early days on this one, but it definitely has the feel of one of the biggest stories to watch for summer 2026.

Ubisoft Calls Out Trusted Assassin’s Creed Leaker for ‘Spreading Misinformation’ After Invictus Screenshot Goes Viral

6 May 2026 at 12:30

A lineup of characters from the Assassin’s Creed Invictus series, each dressed in distinctive assassin attire, standing in front of a large, illuminated Assassin's Creed logo.

A few hours ago, Ubisoft leaker xj0nathan decided to share a screenshot from a private playtest of Assassin's Creed Invictus, the rumored multiplayer Fall Guys-inspired spin-off. However, the official Assassin's Creed X account responded to him quickly, claiming that the screenshot had been heavily altered with AI tools: Nice try… This might have started as an image from our private test, but it’s been heavily altered (most probably with AI). Not great to spread misinformation. 👎 For those genuinely curious about the project: we'll share more when the time is right! As you would expect, the leaker didn't take too […]

Canada April 2026: Toyota, Volvo, Genesis islands of growth in negative market

6 May 2026 at 08:55

Toyota Tacoma sales are up 54.4% in April.

Local consultancy DesRosiers Automotive has the Canadian new light vehicle market down -3.9% year-on-year in April to an estimated 178,000 units. Keep in mind April 2025 was the biggest April volume since 2018 so the comparison base is quite high. In this context, and given record high petrol prices, this month’s result is actually not that bad. Indeed the SAAR of 1.83 million, although down from the 1.90 million of April 2025, is also quite satisfying and just down from the 1.85 million of March. Note total sales for manufacturers still reporting monthly are down -7.1% to 77,349. The year-to-date result after four months stands at 584,000, -5.3% below the same period a year ago.

Among OEMs reporting monthly data, Toyota Motor (+5.9%) is the only one in positive, with Hyundai-Kia (-2.6%) resisting slightly better than the market but Honda Canada (-14.8%) skidding. Brand-wise, Genesis (+16.1%), Volvo (+16%) and Toyota (+8.5%) keep their head above the water, Hyundai (-0.7%) is stable while Kia (-6.8%), Acura (-8.5%) and Lexus (-8.9%) contain their fall to the single digits. Subaru (-27.3%) and Mazda (-26.7%) are in serious trouble.

As for models with monthly sales available, the Toyota RAV4 (-37.4%) is back above its archenemy the Honda CR-V for the first time this year and despite a still catastrophic YoY loss. The CR-V leads by almost 5,800 sales YTD. The Hyundai Tucson (+13.7%) is very solid as are the Kia Sportage (+25.7%) and Toyota Corolla (+27.4%), the latter surprising given the traditional poor performance of passenger cars. The Toyota Sienna (+65.2%), Tacoma (+54.4%) and Kia Seltos (+42.8%) all shoot up.

Previous month: Canada March/Q1 2026: Ford Motor (+14.4%), Stellantis (+14.6%) shine, sales down -4.4%

One year ago: Canada April 2025: Honda (+53.2%) helps push market up 10.2%

Locatelli ‘angry’ at yellow card for diving and insists Juventus need ‘nastiness’

6 May 2026 at 00:56

Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli says that he is ‘angry’ at the yellow card he received for simulation over the weekend, and says that Juventus need more ‘nastiness’ and to be more clinical in front of goal if they are to return to the Champions League next season. 

Locatelli on Juventus 1-1 Verona, call for ruthlessness and yellow card for diving

Juventus remain locked in a battle with Roma and Como for a spot in next season’s Champions League. The Bianconeri occupy fourth spot on 65 points, Roma trail by one point and Como trail by three heading into the final three matches of the 2025-26 season. 

The gap between Juventus and Roma narrowed over the weekend, following a 1-1 draw between the Bianconeri and Hellas Verona and a 4-0 victory for the Giallorossi against Fiorentina on Monday night. 

Whilst there is only one point separating Juventus and Roma, Locatelli says there is comfort to be taken from the fact that the race is still in Juve’s control. He urges his teammates to be more ruthless heading into the final stretch, though. 

“I think we lack a bit of competitive nastiness in certain moments,” Locatelli told reporters at the launch event of Juve’s Strength of Stories podcast series.

“We have to try to score when games are still open. Being clinical in front of goal helps us. The coach told us, we need a pinch of extra nastiness. 

The Bianconeri skipper insists that he is not distracted by the ‘pressure’ that some suggest is burdening the players heading into the final few matches of the season. 

“As I’ve always said, it’s a familiar concept in football, we’re used to this sort of pressure. The important thing is that it all still depends on us. We have to play these next few games with maturity. We’re trying, but we lack that wickedness.” 

Locatelli does not deny the fact that Juve were not at their best during their 1-1 draw with Verona, though: “As I’ve said, it still depends on us. We can’t be happy with the game we played against Verona.”

Locatelli also took a moment to criticise the decision to show him a yellow card for simulation during the Verona draw. 

When asked how frustrated he was, he replied: “Very. I got angry. I don’t usually talk about referees, I don’t like that, but he can’t give me a yellow there. I was nervous, which is why I made a mistake, but I don’t dive. You can’t dive with VAR, there’s no point in giving me the yellow card.” 

Why Juventus and Vlahovic have no contract agreement after five meetings

5 May 2026 at 23:08

Reports in Italy claim that there have been five meetings between Juventus and the entourage of striker Dusan Vlahovic in an attempt to come to an agreement over a new contract, but the parties are not yet aligned on figures, and most importantly, commission fees. 

Report: Juventus and Vlahovic camp haggling over commission fees

Vlahovic is into the final two months of his Juventus contract and could potentially walk away from the Allianz Stadium for free at the end of June. He is earning a net salary of €12m on the final year of his Juventus deal, which makes him the highest-paid player in the division by some distance. 

Despite a 2025-26 season that has been heavily impacted by injuries, Juventus are still keen to tie Vlahovic down to a new deal, particularly knowing that he could potentially go on and join a direct league rival if his contract is allowed to expire next month. Milan and Bundesliga side Bayern Munich are both said to be interested. 

However, according to the latest updates from La Gazzetta dello Sport, there have now been five meetings between Juventus and Vlahovic’s camp, led by the striker’s father, Milos, but there is still no agreement over a new deal in place.

Vlahovic has reportedly ‘opened up’ to the idea of signing a relatively short-term contract, potentially for two years. La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that a reduction of salary is not out of the question either, potentially to a contract ‘a la Yildiz’ i.e. for €6m-€7m per year. 

However, there are still issues relating to ancillary costs, i.e. commission fees and signing bonuses according to Tuesday’s reports.

Every major flagship phone launched in 2026 so far

5 May 2026 at 15:28
Galaxy-S26-Ultra

2026’s flagship race is already settled, at least on paper. The phones launched between January and April — from Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, Honor, Motorola, Huawei, and iQOO — will define what a high-end Android phone looks like for the rest of the year. 

New chipsets will come, but these are the devices most people will be comparing, buying, and arguing about through December. So here’s what actually shipped, and what each one is trying to do.

January

Motorola Razr Fold 

Motorola introduced the Razr Fold at CES 2026 as its first book-style foldable. Unlike the Razr’s usual clamshell form, this one opens up like a tablet, with an 8.1-inch 2K LTPO inner display and a 6.6-inch cover screen. The cover screen is large enough that you can handle most everyday tasks without unfolding the device.

The camera setup is all 50-megapixel across the board: a Sony LYTIA main sensor, an ultra-wide with macro support, and a periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom. There’s also a 32MP camera on the outer display and a 20MP shooter on the inner screen. Video recording supports Dolby Vision. The phone also supports Motorola’s Moto Pen Ultra stylus. 

Honor Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design 

Honor kicked things off with the Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design, which went on sale in China on January 23rd. The phone is what it sounds like: a high-end device made in collaboration with Porsche Design, with finishes called Slate Gray and Moonstone, and a back panel made of microcrystalline nano-ceramic material that Honor says has a Mohs hardness rating of 8.5.

Inside, it runs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with configurations going up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 200MP telephoto with 3.7x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom. Battery is 7,200mAh with 120W wired and 80W wireless charging. It also supports satellite communication and IP68/IP69K water resistance.

Honor is also selling an optional photography kit with a magnetic grip, filter adapter, and external telephoto lens. It runs MagicOS 10 with Porsche Design-themed UI elements layered on top.

February

Samsung Galaxy S26 Series

Samsung’s February Unpacked event brought the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. The base S26 has a 6.3-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, while the S26+ bumps that up to 6.7 inches at QHD+ resolution. Both have 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rates and Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus

Depending on your region, these phones ship with either the Exynos 2600 or the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The main camera across the standard models is a 50MP sensor, paired with a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP telephoto with 3x zoom. The S26 has a 4300mAh battery, the S26+ has a 4900mAh battery, and both support Qi2 wireless charging at 20W.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

The S26 Ultra takes a different direction. It has a 6.9-inch QHD+ display with Gorilla Armor 2, runs exclusively on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and includes a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide, a 10MP telephoto at 3x, and a 50MP periscope lens at 5x zoom. Battery is 5000mAh with Super Fast Charging 3.0. The S Pen is still here. The software on all three runs One UI 8.5 on Android 16, with AI features like Photo Assist, Now Brief, and Creative Studio built in.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra

Xiaomi launched the 17 Ultra in China in February, and it arrives with one of the more interesting camera setups of the year. The main camera uses a 1-inch Light Fusion 1050L sensor co-developed with Leica, shooting at 50MP. The telephoto is a 200MP Leica-certified lens that supports lossless optical zoom between 75mm and 100mm, going up to 400mm digitally. The ultra-wide is a 50MP sensor with 115-degree FOV.

The display is a 6.9-inch OLED with up to 3,500 nits peak brightness, 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and Dolby Vision support. It runs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and Xiaomi says the phone can mirror and control Apple devices through its HyperOS 3.0 software.

The battery is 6,800mAh, the largest in any Xiaomi Ultra device. It charges at 90W wired and 50W wireless. Despite all of that, Xiaomi says the 17 Ultra is the thinnest Ultra device it has made, at 8.29mm.

iQOO 15 Ultra

The iQOO 15 Ultra is a performance-first phone, and it makes that clear from the spec sheet. The display is a 6.85-inch flat Samsung AMOLED at 2K resolution with a 144Hz refresh rate and 8,000 nits peak brightness. The touch sampling can go up to 4000Hz. 

The phone runs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 alongside iQOO’s in-house Q3 esports chip, and the company claims an AnTuTu score of 4.51 million.

iQOO 15 Ultra
iQOO 15 Ultra

For cooling, it has a 59-blade fan and an 8,000mm² vapor chamber. The phone also includes pressure-sensitive shoulder triggers and a 500Hz gyroscope. Battery is 7,400mAh with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.

On the camera side, it’s a triple 50MP system consisting of main, ultra-wide, and periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom. Not the headline feature here, but solid. It runs OriginOS 6 on Android 16 and supports 8K video recording.

March

OPPO Find X9 Ultra

OPPO’s Find X9 Ultra is the most camera-forward device on this list. It’s the only 2026 flagship to use two 200MP cameras, one for main and another for 3x telephoto. Both deliver maximum detail in portrait and general photography. There’s also a dedicated 50MP 10x optical zoom telephoto and a 50MP ultra-wide.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra Design

OPPO is leaning hard on the Hasselblad partnership here. The new Hasselblad Master Mode includes features like True Detail for 8K output across six focal lengths, a full-link ProXDR pipeline, and nine film presets that try to simulate real film color behavior rather than just slapping a filter on.

Video-wise, it supports 8K at 30fps and 4K at 120fps in 10-bit Log format, along with custom 3D LUT import and an ACES color management workflow. TILTA accessories like ND filters and manual focus grips are available for it. The phone runs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with a 144Hz 2K display, a 7,050mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, and IP66/IP68/IP69 water resistance.

OPPO Find N6

OPPO’s Find N6 is pitching itself as the world’s flattest foldable, and the engineering behind that claim is genuinely interesting. The hinge uses a bionic four-axis structure built with chip-level polymer 3D printing, reducing surface unevenness to 0.1mm. Paired with memory glass that restores up to 99.9% flatness after folding, the crease situation is about as controlled as any foldable has managed. It’s TÜV certified for 600,000 folds.

The inner display is an 8.12-inch QXGA+ foldable OLED, and the outer cover screen is a 6.62-inch FHD+ AMOLED, both running 1-120Hz adaptive refresh with 240Hz touch sampling. The outer panel peaks at 3,600 nits.

Cameras follow the same Hasselblad-partnership playbook as the Find X9 Ultra: a 200MP main with dual-axis OIS leads, supported by a 50MP ultra-wide, a 50MP 3x telephoto, and a dedicated Danxia color calibration lens. It supports 8K stills and 4K 120fps Dolby Vision video.

The chipset is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with a 6,000mAh battery, 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. It folds to 8.93mm and weighs 225g, with IP56/IP58/IP59 ratings.

Vivo X300 Ultra

Vivo’s X300 Ultra follows a similar camera-first philosophy as the Find X9 Ultra, but leans into a Zeiss partnership instead of Hasselblad. The camera array includes a 50MP ultra-wide (Sony LYTIA 818), a 200MP main camera (Sony LYTIA 901), and a 200MP telephoto (Samsung HP0) with gimbal-level stabilization.

Vivo X300 Ultra - Victory Green
Vivo X300 Ultra – Victory Green

Vivo is also selling two external teleconverter modules, one for 200mm and one for 400mm. The imaging system supports 4K 120fps Dolby Vision and 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording, along with 3D LUT imports and ACES workflows.

The display is a 6.82-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED at 144Hz. Battery is 6,600mAh with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging. It runs OriginOS 6 on Android 16 and carries IP68/IP69 ratings.

April

Huawei Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max

Both the Huawei Pura 90 Pro and 90 Pro Max share the same XMAGE imaging philosophy and a Red Maple multispectral lens, but the Pro Max gets better hardware meaningfully across the board.

The Pro Max camera system leads with a 50MP RYYB main sensor (1/1.28-inch) with OIS, LOFIC tech, and a variable aperture from f/1.4 to f/4.0. The telephoto is a 200MP RYYB periscope unit with 4x optical zoom, up to 8x optical-quality zoom, CIPA 7.0 stabilization, and what Huawei calls an industry-first three-in-one super concentrating prism. Rounding it out is a 40MP RYYB ultra-wide.

The standard Pro keeps the same main sensor and aperture setup but steps down to a 12.5MP ultra-wide and a 50MP periscope telephoto.

Both phones run on the Kirin 9030S, a step below the Kirin 9030 Pro found in the Pura X Max foldable. Huawei claims a 200 percent improvement in NPU image understanding over the previous generation, with gains in AI ISP color processing, telephoto video clarity, and stabilization accuracy. AI features are central to the software pitch — AI pose recommendations, composition assist, portrait retouching, and one-click photo creation are all present, alongside an upgraded Xiaoyi assistant with real-time pointing recognition and voiceprint detection.

The Pro Max has a 6.9-inch display; the Pro gets 6.6 inches. Both use single-punch-hole cutouts. The Pro Max also gets Kunlun glass protection, which Huawei says cuts reflections by 70 percent and improves scratch resistance up to 16 times over standard glass. Both phones run HarmonyOS 6.1.

OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra

The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra is squarely aimed at mobile gamers. It runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, built on TSMC’s third-gen 3nm process, with OnePlus claiming a 32% performance uplift and 55% better power efficiency over the previous generation.

Keeping things cool is a 6,000mm² vapor chamber that sits alongside a Glacier Cooling System and a deeper integration of OnePlus’s Wind Chaser Gaming Kernel.

OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra
OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra

The headline accessory is an optional Strix Gaming Controller with a joystick-free layout, mechanical triggers rated at 1.8ms response time, a dedicated e-sports chip, and support for magnetic cooling modules. It’s the kind of peripheral ecosystem you’d more typically associate with a dedicated gaming phone brand.

The display is a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED at 165Hz with 4,000Hz instantaneous touch sampling. As for cameras, it has a 50MP main with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide unit. The battery is a large 8,600mAh dual-cell unit with 120W wired charging. It runs ColorOS 16 on Android 16, and carries IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K ratings.

Juventus yet to meet Lewandowski agent as Barcelona star weighs up future

5 May 2026 at 20:59

Juventus have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Robert Lewandowski in Italy, but a face-to-face meeting with the Polish striker’s agent Pini Zahavi has yet to take place, leaving the situation unresolved as the Barcelona forward continues to weigh up his options.

According to Fabrizio Romano, via CalcioMercato, Juventus have established a degree of priority over AC Milan through intermediary contacts with Zahavi, though the in-person meeting that will determine whether Italian clubs have a genuine chance remains to be scheduled.

Milan had moved first, attempting to replicate the kind of deal that brought Luka Modric to Serie A, but Juventus have since overtaken them in the race.

Lewandowski collecting all offers before making decision amid Juventus links

Lewandowski’s contract at Barcelona expires on June 30, making him a free agent, though the club retain a renewal clause in the agreement. Barcelona have so far respected an informal understanding that they would negotiate with the player before activating it rather than impose the option unilaterally.

The Poland international and his family are understood to want to gather all available proposals, including any renewed offer from Barcelona, as well as approaches from Chicago Fire and clubs in the Middle East, before making what is described as a life decision as much as a footballing one.

A resolution is not expected until after Barcelona have officially wrapped up their Liga title challenge.

Revealed: Kone release clause as Inter, Milan & Juventus battle for Sassuolo star

5 May 2026 at 20:26

Ismael Kone has a €35 million release clause in his Sassuolo contract that is valid until the end of July, with Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus all understood to be among the clubs interested in signing one of Serie A’s standout performers this season.

According to Fabrizio Romano, via TuttoMercatoWeb, contacts between the parties are expected before the start of the World Cup, which Koné will feature in as a key member of the Canada squad.

Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali has also addressed the situation publicly. “I haven’t spoken with Inter or Milan about Koné, but it’s also true that we have had some requests from foreign clubs,” he said. “It’s possible that an Inter-Milan derby could emerge. We need to find the best situation for him, but at the same time for us too.”

Sassuolo open to Kone sale as Serie A giants circle ahead of World Cup

Milan sporting director Igli Tare has already publicly confirmed his club’s interest, and with the release clause set at a fixed figure, the race is likely to come down to the player’s preference rather than a negotiation over fee.

Inter and Juventus have also been linked with the Sassuolo man, in what promises to be a difficult battle for his signature.

As Carnevali noted, there is also interest from abroad in the Canadian, meaning Italian clubs will want to act fast to avoid missing out.

Koné will head into the summer with considerable leverage, having established himself as one of the most dynamic midfielders in Serie A this season.

Real Madrid & Premier League clubs could swoop for Juventus duo Yildiz & Conceicao if UCL qualification fails

5 May 2026 at 16:54

Juventus risk losing some of their most prized assets this summer if they fail to secure Champions League qualification, with Real Madrid among the clubs monitoring Kenan Yildiz and Premier League sides keeping tabs on Francisco Conceicao.

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the weekend’s home draw against already-relegated Verona has intensified the pressure on Juventus, leaving the club in a precarious position in the race for a top-four finish. The consequences of missing out would stretch well beyond the dugout.

Yildiz, Conceicao and Bremer all at risk without Champions League football for Juventus

Yildiz is understood to be a long-standing target of Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, and while the young Turkish forward is devoted to the Juventus cause, the club’s ability to retain him would be significantly weakened without European football to offer.

Conceicao has also attracted sustained Premier League interest, and Gleison Bremer, who publicly apologised for his error in the Verona draw, has similarly not fallen off the radar of top clubs.

Dusan Vlahovic’s situation adds another layer of complexity.

His contract talks remain unresolved, and without Champions League football, the Serbian would likely be far more receptive to approaches from clubs already guaranteed a place in Europe’s elite competition next season.

Tonali plus four Serie A players linked with 173m Man United overhaul

5 May 2026 at 16:41

Manchester United are planning to strengthen their midfield this summer, and several Serie A stars, as well as Italy international Sandro Tonali, have been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United’s targets in Serie A

UK media outlets (via Manchester Evening News) are reporting that Manchester United are ready to invest £150m (circa €173m) in new signings this summer, with a specific aim on central midfield.

Italian transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà has claimed that both the Red Devils and Atletico Madrid are interested in Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with the Colchoneros seemingly slightly ahead in the race, having already offered €30m plus add-ons.

Atalanta, however, aim to get at least €40m from the Brazilian’s sale in the summer, so the race to secure his signature remains wide open.

Italy and Newcastle midfielder Tonali has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but other top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester City, are also considering a move for the ex-Milan star.

Last month, Tuttosport reported that even Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners had attracted interest from both the Red Devils and Galatasaray.

Manchester United are also looking for attacking reinforcements with Milan stars Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic both reported to be on their agenda.

United reportedly scouted Leao during a 0-0 draw against Juventus two weeks ago, and Gazzetta reported last week that the Premier League giants are eager to offer Manuel Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee or Marcus Rashford in a potential player-plus cash swap deal.

According to Calciomercato.it is understood that Manchester United are also attracted to Pulisic’s versatility, but are aware that Milan won’t sell the USMNT captain for less than €60m.

The race for Champions League qualification could go down to the wire, as there are now only five points separating Milan, Juventus, Roma and Como in the Serie A table.

The top four go into the Champions League from Serie A, and while Inter are guaranteed their spot in first place and Napoli have a fairly healthy lead, the other two are going to be very tight.

Asus launches ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC portable monitor with 65W reverse charging

4 May 2026 at 22:16
Asus ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC

Working on a single laptop screen can be frustrating when you need to view multiple documents or applications at the same time. Portable monitors are a standard fix for this, and Asus has just added another option to the mix. The ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC is a 16-inch secondary display aimed at people who work away from a desk, and it is priced at €280 in Europe.

Asus ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC

Asus ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC Specifications

The monitor uses an OLED panel with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. That gives it a 16:10 aspect ratio, which matches most modern productivity laptops and provides a little more vertical space for reading text or viewing spreadsheets. The screen covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space and has a Delta E < 2 color accuracy rating.

In practical terms, the colors and contrast should be reliable enough for standard photo and video editing tasks. It is a 60Hz display, so it is meant for work and watching media rather than gaming, though the 1ms response time should keep text scrolling looking normal.

Asus ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC

The most useful hardware addition is the power pass-through system. The monitor includes two USB-C ports (which support DisplayPort Alt Mode) and a mini-HDMI port.

If you plug a compatible USB-C charger into the monitor, it can pass up to 65W of power directly to your connected laptop. This is helpful if you are working in a cafe or an airport and only have access to a single wall outlet, as you can keep both devices powered using one charging brick.

Asus ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC

Physically, the monitor is built to fit in a standard laptop bag. It weighs 0.68 kg and is 0.9 cm thick. It includes a built-in kickstand, a standard 1/4-inch tripod socket if you prefer to mount it, and software that automatically rotates the screen if you turn it vertically.

Asus also included a specific color profile intended to match the screen output of Apple’s MacBooks, which might save macOS users some time adjusting settings to get their screens to match.

In related news, Lenovo has recently introduced a 31.5-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor with a 0.03ms response time, while LG has unveiled the UltraGear 32GX870B featuring Tandem OLED and a 480Hz esports mode.

OnePlus Ace 7 tipped to pair Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with active cooling

4 May 2026 at 08:12

It has not been that long since the OnePlus Ace 6 launched, but early details about its successor are already starting to show up. The Ace 6, which arrived in October 2025, set a pretty high bar with features like a 165Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, IP69K rating, and a surprisingly large 7,800mAh battery.

Now, attention is shifting to the OnePlus Ace 7. According to Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu, the phone could use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite used in the Ace 6. It may also feature an active cooling system, which even the recently launched Ace 6 Ultra lacks. If that holds true, the Ace 7 should offer noticeably better sustained gaming performance compared to both the Ace 6 and possibly even the Ace 6 Ultra.

There is also talk of an “ultra-high refresh rate” display. No exact number yet, but expectations are clearly going up. Some recent leaks even suggest future OnePlus flagships could push toward 240Hz panels, so it will be interesting to see where the Ace 7 lands.

The Ace series has usually been about offering strong performance at a relatively aggressive price, and that does not seem to be changing. If anything, OnePlus looks like it is trying to push it a bit further this time with better cooling and possibly a faster display.

As of now, a lot of the details are still up in the air. Things like battery size, camera hardware, and final design have not really been locked in publicly. But if even half of these leaks hold up, the Ace 7 could end up being one of the more interesting performance-focused phones in its segment when it arrives.

Samsung app bug disables gesture input after screenshots, fix coming

4 May 2026 at 21:54

Samsung has acknowledged a bug in its One Hand Operation + app that breaks gesture input after taking screenshots. A fix is already in the works and will arrive via an upcoming app update.

The issue surfaced on Samsung’s Korean community forums (via MojoTrick), where users reported that custom gestures stop responding immediately after a screen capture.

For context, One Hand Operation + is part of Samsung’s Good Lock suite. The app expands One UI navigation with edge-based gesture controls, allowing users to assign shortcuts for back, recent apps, quick tools, and more.

The problem is specific but disruptive. After taking a screenshot, gesture inputs configured through One Hand Operation + freeze. Swipes from the screen edges fail to trigger any assigned actions.

The rest of the system remains functional, but gesture-based navigation effectively stops working until the UI resets or the app recovers. For users who rely on these gestures daily, it breaks core usability.

A Samsung Community moderator has confirmed the root cause.

According to the official response, the issue is tied to how the app handles “gesture handles” during screen capture. When a color is assigned to these handles, the system hides them to prevent them from appearing in screenshots.

That behavior is currently flawed, causing the handles to disappear in a way that also disables gesture detection. There is no exact release date yet, but the fix is expected in the next software rollout for One Hand Operation +.

The moderator added that Samsung is reviewing a change to make these handles transparent instead of hidden, which should resolve the UX bug without interfering with screenshots.

Spalletti sends transfer message to Juventus amid Man City duo speculation

4 May 2026 at 18:42

Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti admits the Bianconeri need ‘quality’ in tight spaces, amid speculation that the Bianconeri want both Bernardo Silva and Tijjani Reijnders from Manchester City.

Juventus will be looking to add more quality to the team, as Bianconeri coach Spalletti clarified on Sunday after a disappointing 1-1 home draw against already-relegated Hellas Verona.

Spalletti explains what Juventus need in 2026 summer transfer window

Juventus still have a three-point lead over fifth-placed Como, but Roma will move just one point behind the Old Lady if they beat Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico tonight.

During his post-match interviews, Spalletti clearly explained what the club should be looking for in the summer.

“We’re lacking a bit of real quality in tight spaces, in that area of the attacking midfield,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia via Gazzetta.

“What we are missing is an attacking midfielder who is good in tight spaces, because that area in front of the opponents’ penalty box becomes like a swamp, and if things don’t come off, you start forcing plays, which increases frustration and difficulties.”

Juventus have already begun negotiations with Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva, who won’t extend his expiring contract with the Premier League giants and is therefore available on a free transfer.

According to Football Insider, the Bianconeri have also set their sights on Bernardo Silva’s teammate Reijnders, a former Milan star, who has been struggling for playing time in his first season at Etihad Stadium, especially in recent weeks.

Spalletti has also asked for greater quality in central defence, suggesting the club should try to sign a ball-playing centre-back.

“Certain traits shape the team,” he concluded.

“We have Bremer and Kelly, who are two excellent defenders individually, strong on duels, physical and solid defensively, but perhaps they give something away when it comes to building from the back.”

Intel's Arc Pro B70 workstation GPU with 32GB of VRAM gets tested in games — Roughly twice as fast as Arc B580 on average, beats RTX 5060 Ti in some titles

In a new review for the Arc Pro B70, the workstation GPU performs rather well across five games tested at 1440p resolution. On average, it loses to the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB in traditional raster but beats it in ray tracing. Overall, the B70 was only 2.9% behind the 5060 Ti in all games when you average out both RT and raster.

Stiv Bryus məşqçi karyerasını bitirdi

4 May 2026 at 13:00

İngiltərənin “Mançester Yunayted” klubunun sabiq mərkəz müdafiəçisi Stiv Bryus məşqçilik karyerasını başa vurmaq qərarına gəlib.

Arena.az bu barədə Britaniya mətbuatına istinadən xəbər verir.

İngiltərəli mütəxəssis ötən ilin yayında “Bləkpul”dan ayrıldıqdan sonra işsiz idi. O, yeni komanda tapmadığı üçün artıq başqa fəaliyyətlərlə məşğul olacağını açıqlayıb. Bununla belə, təcrübəli məşqçi İngiltərə millisi tərəfindən təklif olacağı təqdirdə, geri dönə biləcəyinə eyham vurub.

Bryusun karyerasında baş məşqçi kimi təxminən 1000 oyun var ki, bunun 476-sı İngiltərə Premyer Liqasına təsadüf edir.

Stiv Bryus futbolçu karyerası ərzində 1987–1996-cı illərdə “Mançester Yunayted”in formasını geyinib və “qırmızı şeytanlar”ın sabiq baş məşqçisi Aleks Ferqyusonun rəhbərliyi altında üç dəfə Premyer Liqa çempionu olub.

İngilis mütəxəssis məşqçilik karyerası ərzində “Şeffild Yunayted”, “Haddersfild Taun”, “Uiqan”, “Kristal Pelas”, “Birmingem Siti”, “Sanderlend”, “Hall Siti”, “Aston Villa”, “Şeffild Uenzdey”, “Nyukasl” və “Vest Bromviç” kimi komandalara rəhbərlik edib.

Juventus defender Bremer takes responsibility for error in Verona draw

4 May 2026 at 15:27

Gleison Bremer has publicly apologised after a costly defensive mistake contributed to Juventus dropping points in a home draw against Verona, with the Brazilian centre-back admitting he should have done better.

Bremer’s error came when he attempted to play out from the back inside his own penalty area, looking to find Pierre Kalulu, but the pass was intercepted by Bradaric.

The Verona winger immediately fed Bowie, who was left unmarked and beat Di Gregorio at his near post to give the visitors the lead.

Bremer admits he must do better after Juventus slip-up

Taking to Instagram shortly after the final whistle, the defender offered a direct apology. “Today, due to a miscommunication, the mistake was mine,” Bremer wrote.

“I take full responsibility, no excuses. I should have done better. Now more united than ever, until the end.”

It was not an isolated struggle on the evening. Bremer was reported to have had a difficult night dealing with Bowie throughout, frequently coming off second best in aerial duels and physical battles.

Head coach Luciano Spalletti also addressed the error after the match, acknowledging it as a known limitation in his side’s game.

“Bremer and Kelly are two great defenders in terms of individual quality and in one-v-one duels,” Spalletti said. “But in terms of building from the back they do concede something, these are aspects we have to live with.”

The slip is likely to reignite scrutiny of Bremer’s composure in possession, and will also bring renewed attention to comments the defender made in a press conference weeks earlier.

“At Juventus they have been treading water for six years and that cannot happen,” he said at the time. “It is important to go back to winning. To be considered champions you have to win, and I want to win.”

Spalletti: ‘Juventus disappointed and have regrets’ after surprising 1-1

3 May 2026 at 23:05

Luciano Spalletti admits Juventus are ‘disappointed and have regrets’ after a surprising 1-1 draw with Verona, along with tension on the touchline with director Sean Sogliano.

This was a huge opportunity to catch Milan in third place after the Rossoneri were beaten 2-0 by Sassuolo earlier today, with Napoli and Como also dropping points in the fight for the top four.

It was assumed that Juve would sweep Verona aside in Turin, especially as Hellas had already been mathematically relegated on Friday night and had nothing to play for.

Instead, Kieron Bowie put them ahead and only a Dusan Vlahovic free kick off the bench managed to snatch a 1-1 draw for the Old Lady.

Spalletti frustrated with Juventus errors

“We must always evaluate what happens, analyse things, and then try to improve for the next matches, because those are the ones that matter now, seeing as we didn’t win this one,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.

“Clearly, we are disappointed, we have regrets, and unfortunately this happens in football. We were not fortunate, and with a little more sharpness we could’ve turned it around, even if you cannot always control everything.

“What we can do is stay clear-headed in the moments that matter, and we didn’t do it today. That is one of the qualities that makes a great player, because you can identify those moments where you’ve got to be fully concentrated.”

The coach had warned before kick-off that this was the kind of game where the risk was having 11 great players rather than a team unit.

“I thought we had started quite well, but then Verona locked it down, as is only right for them to do. We created some dangers, but couldn’t break through the right way, then allowed them a few counter-attacks, plus that error which made it all the more difficult.

“The tension cranked up after that, you have the fear of not making it, when everyone is telling you it’s an easy game and you discover it isn’t easy at all,” continued the coach.

“We make mistakes that you see from kids, things that are too banal to be at this level, then in the second half you pin them back and have great moments of football that deserve to win a match.

“We played our game and I think overall we did deserve to win it.”

It was a frustrating evening, as Francisco Conceicao looked furious when substituted after a couple of good chances, while Edon Zhegrova hit the upright in stoppages.

It is remarkable that when the race for a Champions League spot could go down to the wire, Juventus were held to a pair of 1-1 draws by Verona this season.

Of course, both teams had different coaches during the first meeting, as Igor Tudor and Paolo Zanetti were both replaced.

If Roma beat Fiorentina tomorrow, then they will close to within a point of Juve in fifth place.

There was tension in the closing stages when Verona director Sean Sogliano was sent off from the touchline for dissent, then complained bitterly in the press interviews just before Spalletti took to the microphones.

“I don’t understand what the director was talking about,” noted the Juventus coach.

“I will go and see what he was complaining about, but I really don’t understand it, he was a little cryptic, but we never got up from the bench to complain whenever his players stayed down for 30 seconds after every foul, tried to use up every available second on throw-ins, it’s all a bit much.”

Verona director hits out at Juventus: ‘If I say what I think, I’d have to stop working’

3 May 2026 at 23:03

Hellas Verona sporting director Sean Sogliano was unhappy with the attitude from Juventus players and staff members during a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Stadium: ‘If I say what I really think, I’d probably have to stop working.’

Verona held Juventus to a 1-1 draw in Turin on Sunday despite already being relegated to Serie B.

The Gialloblu even took the lead in the first half, but Dusan Vlahovic levelled the score after being introduced as a substitute in the second half.

As usual, Verona director Sogliano followed the match from the touchline alongside Verona reserves and staff members, but the director was sent off for dissent in the very last minute after the referee had awarded a free kick to Juventus.

Safe to say, Sogliano was unhappy with the attitude of the Bianconeri players and staff.

“I was sent off today as well because I saw things I don’t like,” he told Sky Sport via FcInter1908.

“We are talking about culture and the fact that we’re not going to the World Cup. Here it’s always the same story. Even against an already-relegated team, I heard things I don’t want to repeat, because if I say what I really think, I’d probably have to stop working.

“A strong team that complains about the referee when, in a minute, fans would have been putting the ball in the net for them,” Sogliano continued.

“Verona showed pride and earned a point. And if someone gets sent off for losing their temper over certain things, film both benches; then we’ll have something to talk about besides VAR. I’m saying this as someone who’s already been relegated, so nobody really cares. I’m going home with my players and the club because we’re people with pride.”

Today’s draw leaves Juventus in fourth, four points above Roma, who have a game in hand against Fiorentina on Monday.

Serie A | Juventus 1-1 Verona: Vlahovic rescues a point amid regret

3 May 2026 at 21:56

Dusan Vlahovic came off the bench for his first goal of 2026 to rescue a point for Juventus against relegated Verona, but it’s a missed opportunity to go third.

The Bianconeri hoped to make the most of Como, Napoli and Milan dropping points, with Kenan Yildiz back in the starting XI after two games as a substitute and Dusan Vlahovic ready for the bench, leaving only Arek Milik and Juan Cabal out of action. A victory here would’ve put the Old Lady in joint third with Milan. Hellas were already doomed to relegation this weekend, with Nicolas Valentini suspended, Gift Orban frozen out for an altercation with a fan, and Armel Bella-Kotchap, Cheikh Niasse, Daniel Oyegoke, Suat Serdar and Daniel Mosquera injured.

See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

TURIN, ITALY - MAY 03: Kenan Yildiz of Juventus FC is challenged by Jean-Daniel Dave Lewis Akpa Akpro of Hellas Verona FC during the Serie A match between Juventus FC and Hellas Verona FC at Allianz Stadium on May 3, 2026 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by Valerio Pennicino/Getty Images)

Francisco Conceicao tested Lorenzo Montipò at the near post, then the Kenan Yildiz pull-back for Jonathan David was intercepted, and Andrias Edmundsson threw himself in the path of the David angled drive.

A corner was not cleared very far, so the Pierre Kalulu cross back in was flicked onto the crossbar off Gleison Bremer’s head on 26 minutes.

Manuel Locatelli saw his strike deflected just wide, then the midfielder was perhaps harshly booked for simulation when going down in a coming together with Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro.

Moments later, Verona took the surprise lead when Bremer was caught napping passing out from the back, intercepted by Domagoj Bradaric and rolled across from the left for Kieron Bowie to sweep in. It was all the more remarkable considering Juve had kept four consecutive clean sheets before that gift.

The Scotland international nearly got another when deflected over by Lloyd Kelly, while Edmundsson made another decisive block on Andrea Cambiaso.

Dusan Vlahovic was thrown on for Khephren Thuram after the restart and Juve moved to 4-4-2. A couple of crosses were a little too high for the Serbian, but he got them on level terms and ended his 180-day goal drought by bending a free kick around the Verona wall and into the near bottom corner. Remarkably, it was also the first direct free kick scored by Juventus in Serie A this season.

Akpa Akpro risked an own goal intercepting the Conceicao pull-back to turn over from four yards, but Montipò made two extraordinary reaction saves in the space of a minute, both to deny Conceicao from point-blank range at the back post.

Conceicao also drilled wide from the edge of the area, while Jeremie Boga couldn’t surprise Montipò at the far stick on an Edon Zhegrova cross.

Boga saw his curler intercepted by a Hellas chest in the six-yard box, but Edon Zhegrova was unlucky in stoppages when his angled drive thumped the base of the near post and hit the goalkeeper on the back, but ricocheted back out.

It means both Juve’s games against Verona ended 1-1 this season, dropping four points overall in these fixtures.

Spalletti: ‘Juventus risk being 11 great players and not a team’

3 May 2026 at 19:44

Luciano Spalletti warns Juventus risk taking Verona for granted with an opportunity to catch Milan in third place. ‘The danger is to be 11 great players rather than a great team.’

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 17.00 UK time (18.00 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.

With Como held to a 0-0 draw by Napoli and Roma facing Fiorentina on Monday, this is an opportunity for the Bianconeri to consolidate fourth place and that Champions League ticket.

Even better, as Milan lost 2-0 to Sassuolo this afternoon, a victory would put the Old Lady in joint third position.

Spalletti keeps Juventus focused

Juve are unbeaten in eight Serie A games, winning five and drawing the other three, the longest positive streak in the league.

That includes a run of four consecutive clean sheets, conceding only once in the last seven rounds.

“We need to analyse the performances, not just the results,” warned Spalletti on Sky Sport Italia.

“We want to keep doing more than we did the day before, sport is a daily competition to always challenge yourself with something new. If you keep using the same techniques as in the past, it’s natural the others will surpass you, so we must focus on the performances and try to become what we want to be.”

Verona are already relegated, so the danger today is that Juve will take the victory for granted.

“When there are games like this, players tend to become 11 great players rather than a great team, so we need to be focused, ready to work, able to fill the whole game and not just do one thing, help your teammates, go beyond your usual characteristics. This unity is what helps everyone going forward.”

Kenan Yildiz had been on the bench for the last two games against Bologna and Milan, but has shaken off that recurring inflammation for a return to the starting XI.

Jonathan David is confirmed upfront with Francisco Conceicao in a 3-4-3 formation, sending Jeremie Boga and not fully fit Dusan Vlahovic to the bench after the 0-0 at San Siro.

“Yildiz could be a university professor in terms of team spirit, because he always wants to be with other people, he knows how to behave in a group, he’s a splendid lad, so we trust he will show us something good today,” noted Spalletti.

“Vlahovic had a nasty injury, he is recovering, and if we need someone with his characteristics today, then he too is available to help the team at this moment.”

Juventus can catch Milan in third place as they host Kieron Bowie’s already-relegated Verona, as Kenan Yildiz returns to the starting XI with Jonathan David and Francisco Conceicao.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 17.00 UK time (18.00 CEST).

The Bianconeri have a big opportunity to lock down that Champions League spot after Como were held to a 0-0 draw by Napoli, with Roma facing Fiorentina on Monday evening.

Above all, Milan’s 2-0 defeat at Sassuolo means a victory will put Juve in joint third place.

Dusan Vlahovic is in the squad again after a calf injury during a warm-up last month, while Kenan Yildiz has shaken off that recurring inflammation to start after two games as a substitute.

David and Conceicao complete the attack, sending Jeremie Boga to the bench.

Weston McKennie and Andrea Cambiaso are on the flanks of a 3-4-3 formation.

Verona and Pisa were already doomed to relegation this weekend, so have nothing more to play for other than pride.

Gift Orban is again frozen out after his physical altercation with a fan in the car park a couple of weeks ago, and is unlikely to play for Hellas again.

Nicolas Valentini is suspended, with Armel Bella-Kotchap joining Cheikh Niasse, Daniel Oyegoke, Suat Serdar and Daniel Mosquera on the treatment table.

‘Might leave..’ – Ex-player names Arsenal star destined for summer exit

3 May 2026 at 15:39

As the season approaches its dramatic conclusion this May, the tension around North London isn’t just about the Premier League title race.

While Mikel Arteta remains hyper-focused on the pitch, Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has dropped a massive truth bomb about the makeup of the squad heading into next season.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

The “Romford Pele” has publicly predicted that Gabriel Jesus is edging incredibly close to the exit door, perfectly coinciding with wild reports that the Gunners could sensationally transfer-list four other first-team players.

Jesus’ time at Arsenal has been a bit of a rollercoaster. When he first arrived, he completely transformed the Gunners’ frontline with his relentless pressing and chaotic energy.

However, fast forward to today, and his starting spot is no longer fully guaranteed.

Parlour tips Jesus to leave Arsenal

According to Parlour’s comments, as reported by Metro, the Brazilian striker’s sheer desire for guaranteed minutes will likely push him away this summer.

“I think Jesus might leave at the end of the season, he is at that age where he wants to be playing week in, week out,” Parlour explained.

The Arsenal icon pointed out that modern squads need serious depth, recalling his own playing days: “We had four strikers when I played. That is what I don’t understand. [Regardless of Jesus leaving], bring in another one anyway”.

Parlour firmly believes that fresh attacking blood would raise the competitive standards across the entire dressing room.

But Jesus might not be the only massive name clearing out his locker. To fund their highly ambitious summer targets, specifically, making a permanent swoop for standout defender Piero Hincapie, Arsenal reportedly need to generate serious cash.

Gunners could make major changes in the summer

Reports have emerged suggesting that four massive players have been incredibly placed on the chopping block, Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Selling established superstars like Martinelli or White feels utterly unthinkable given their immense contributions under Arteta.

Throwing generational academy talents like Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly into the mix does not make sense either.

However, the harsh financial reality of the Premier League means that no player is truly untouchable if a massive bid arrives to help fund defensive reinforcements.

If Parlour’s instincts are right, Arsenal are staring down the barrel of a wildly transformative summer transfer window.

ASUS ROG Equalizer Performs Worse Than Standard 12V-2×6 Connectors, Der8auer Finds 4A Imbalance Between Pins On RTX 5090

The ROG Equalizer doesn't work as advertised as discovered by Der8auer in his latest demonstration.

ASUS explicitly advertised the ROG Equalizer cable as a component that does better load balancing than regular 12V-2x6 cables, but the testing by popular German YouTuber Der8auer reveals something interesting.

Luçano Spalletti – A Seriyasında aprelin ən yaxşısı!

2 May 2026 at 11:00

“Yuventus”un baş məşqçisi, italiyalı futbol mütəxəssisi Luçano Spalletti A Seriyasında aprel ayının ən yaxşı məşqçisi seçilib.

Arena.az xəbər verir ki, bu barədə İtaliya A Seriyasının rəsmi saytı məlumat yayıb.

“Yuventus” aprel ayında keçirdiyi 4 oyunun üçündən qalib ayrılıb, birində heç-heçə edib. Spallettinin komandası “Cenoa” (2:0), “Atalanta” (1:0) və “Bolonya” (2:0) ilə görüşlərdən 3, “Milan”la matçdan (0:0) 1 xalla ayrılıb.

Spalletti cari mövsümdə ilk, karyerasında isə 5-ci dəfə bu mükafata layiq görülüb. O, 2021-ci ilin sentyabr, 2022-ci ilin fevral və oktyabr, həmçinin 2023-cü ilin yanvar aylarında da oxşar uğura imza atmışdı. Spalletti həm də rekordçu (beşqat qalib) olan Simone İnzaqiyə çatıb.

A Seriyasının cari mövsümündəki ilk mükafatı “Kremoneze”yə rəhbərlik edən Davide Nikola qazanmışdı. O, avqustun ən yaxşısı seçilmişdi. Sentyabrda və noyabrda Massimiliano Alleqri (“Milan”), oktyabrda Can Pyero Qasperini (“Roma”), dekabrda və bu ilin yanvarında Kristian Kivu (“İnter”), fevralda Raffaele Palladino (“Atalanta”), martda Sesk Fabreqas (“Komo”) fərqlənmişdi.

Xatırladaq ki, Luçano Spalletti ötən ilin oktyabr ayından “Yuventus”a rəhbərlik edir. İtaliyalı mütəxəssis bu komandanı indiyə qədər 34 oyuna çıxarıb, 19 qələbə, 9 heç-heçə və 6 məğlubiyyət görüb. Turin təmsilçisi A Seriyasının cari mövsümündə 34 turdan sonra 64 xalla turnir cədvəlinin 4-cü pilləsində qərarlaşıb.

Spalletti məşqçilik karyerası ərzində “Empoli”, “Sampdoriya”, “Venesiya”, “Udineze”, “Ankona”, “Roma”, “Zenit”, “İnter” və “Napoli”yə də rəhbərlik edib. O, “Napoli”yə 1990-cı ildən bəri ilk dəfə olaraq İtaliya çempionluğunu qazandırıb. “Yuventus”dan öncə isə Spalletti İtaliya milli komandasının baş məşqçisi olub.

3 qələbə və 1 heç-heçənin mükafatı

2 May 2026 at 08:25

İtaliya A Seriyasında aprel ayının ən yaxşı baş məşqçisi açıqlanıb.

Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, bu, “Yuventus”un çalışdırıcısı Luçano Spalettidir.

Mütəxəssisin rəhbərlik etdiyi “qoca sinyora” ötən ay “Cenoa”nı (2:0), “Atalanta”nı (1:0), “Bolonya”nı (2:0) məğlub edib, “Milan”la heç-heçə (0:0) edib.

“Yuventus” çempionatda 64 xalla 4-cü sıradadır.

Beijing Auto Show 2026: The most impressive brands

28 April 2026 at 07:35

This post has been updated with more photos.

For this last update we select the three most impressive brands at the Beijing Auto Show 2026. This time a foreign brand makes it to the cut!

Maextro

The brand was already in our most impressive section last year but it has taken it to the next level in 2026. Reduced to a tiny section with only one closed car on display in 2025, this time Maextro has a full blown stand on its own with five vehicles exhibited as well as a section of the HIMA stand with 3 models. I was able to enter the car to explore the interior.

And what an interior! Obviously the dashboard is a giant side-to-side digital tile with three screens. The space at the back (most owners will be driven around) is gigantic with a full on rug at your feet. 

Still at the back, instead of a ceiling-mounted screen there is electric motion screen that, when pulled down, covers the entire width of the car. The projector for the screen is located in between the back seats (see picture above).

In between the back seats we also have a large refrigerator…

… as well as large, removable iPhone-like controls for seat functions located on the door.

The S800 is priced from 708,000 to 1,018,000 yuan (85,500-127,300€ or US$103,700-149,100) which is a bargain given the specs of the car. Launched in August, the S800 crossed the 10,000 sales mark by December and is now at 16,809 total units at end of March. It peaked at 4,223 sales in December. This makes it the best-selling luxury sedan in China.

BYD Great Tang

BYD

China’s market leader (in 2025 at least) is back with a vengeance with a flurry of new models at the Show. The main event was the launch of pre sales for the Great Tang, available in BEV and PHEV variants. The Great Tang is a full size seven-seater SUV full-size crossover and at 5.3m long it is the brand’s largest crossover. It offers up to 950 km of EV range while the 4WD version speeds from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. The Great Tang has reportedly recorded no less than 60,000 pre orders within 48h of its launch. Note the Great Tang’s passenger screen appears black to the driver even when on, to avoid distractions.

BYD Seal 08

Also new at the Show were the Seal 08 sedan…

BYD Sealion 08

Sealion 08 SUV (as a near production ready concept)…

BYD Yuan Plus / Atto 3

…and the third generation Atto 3 (Yuan Plus in China) available with the brand’s flash charging technology allowing charging the battery from 10% to 97% in just nine minutes.

Volkswagen

Volkswagen was by far the most impressive foreign carmaker at the Show and seems to have finally woken up after losing its market pole position to BYD and then the second place to Geely, plus being outsold by Toyota in March. The German manufacturer had more than a few new EV models at the Show.

The ID. Aura T6 stands for Advanced, User-centric, Reliable, and All-access. The letter T means Travel, and the digit 6 refers to the “golden balance point.” It’s a 6-seater family oriented urban crossover, and looks like a sedan from the front. It has Xpeng tech on board.

The ID. Era 9X was also unveiled, coming from the SAIC-VW joint venture. It is an EREV (extended range EV) with six seats and will act as the flagship NEV model for the brand. It has the mandatory digital tile extending to the passenger side.

The ID. Unyx 07 was co-developed with Xpeng. It’s a mid-size electric fastback sedan offering a 231 hp electric motor and a 59.9 kWh battery, for a range of 558 km.

The ID. Unyx 08 is Volkswagen’s first mass produced vehicle developed in collaboration with Xpeng. It breaks with the brand’s previous design codes with a distinctive fascia. At 5m long, this is a large SUV but only comes as a five-seater. 

That’s all for this year’s coverage of the Beijing Auto Show! I’ll see you again next year in Shanghai.
