Newcastle United are preparing for another busy summer window as they look to build on domestic progress and, hopefully, a deep Champions League run.

Several key players have drawn attention from rival Premier League clubs during the past few months, and according to TEAMtalk, Newcastle have made it clear that Anthony Gordon will not leave unless an “extraordinary offer” is submitted.

The club’s stance comes amid reported interest from Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, with the Reds having already tried to snatch the former Liverpool academy player and Everton winger from Tyneside.

Gordon has become one of Newcastle’s most productive attacking players this season, particularly in European competition. The England international has scored 10 goals in the Champions League, placing him second in the tournament scoring charts behind only Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid, and he out four goals past Qarabag in the first leg of the play-in round las week.

Gordon’s output in high-profile fixtures, while has elevated his status across England, has also only strengthened Newcastle’s negotiating position and his perceived price tag.

Liverpool are understood to hold long-term interest in Gordon, and with growing questions surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future, the Magpies’ winger is viewed as a potential option to fill the impending vacant.

Manchester United and Arsenal have also been linked as both clubs continue evaluating attacking reinforcements ahead of next season, but those two look like long-shit options to approach a transfer at this point.

Despite the speculation, Newcastle are not actively seeking a sale, as is obvious. Gordon remains under contract and is considered central to the club’s plans as they aim to compete consistently in domestic and European competitions.

By publicly emphasizing the requirement of an “extraordinary” bid, Newcastle have effectively set a premium threshold for any potential suitor, but you know what happened just last summer with a certain Sweden striker….

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

-
Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a quarterbacks coach at P...

Tanner Bibee emerged a central piece to the Guardians’ future last season. He’ll now remain in Cleveland until at least 2029. The Guardians signed the right-hander to a five-year contract extension through the 2029 season that includes a club option for 2030, the club announced Saturday afternoon. Bibee was set to become a free agent after the 2028 season. This extension eats up one and potentially two years of his free agent eligibility. For Bibee, it allows him to receive his first major payday without further injury risk. For the Guardians, it allows them to retain him for an extra season or two by giving him some early financial guarantees. Last year, Bibee took over as the club’s No. 1 starter after Shane Bieber needed Tommy John surgery , Gavin Williams missed most of the season with his own injury issues and Triston McKenzie lost his command to the point of needing to be sent to Triple-A Columbus. Bibee was recently named as the club’s Opening Day starter . This article...
